Perhaps it'j? because you can't read well enough. According to educators,, this seems to be one of the basic prob- lems of students who find them selves falling behind in their courses, and to cope with the problem the University Testing Service offers a program which might be of interest to students in this category. The course is entitled remedial reading, but after talking with Paul Irvine, director of the read ing program, the subject seems to be farther reaching than the name indicates.

Athletic Busi ness Manager Vernon Crook hopes the job .will be completed in time for the football team to use it by September. Shown above is the current progress made toward improving the drainage system of the current field. Comprehension May However, although the program j deals chiefly with reading, the course, offers individual instruc tion in allied subjects such as jpelling, oral reading and vocabu- j lary depending on the student's weaknesses. PURPOSE First offered in February, 1956, the course is primarily designed ta help students who can't under-1 stand what they are reading, or those who may be' too slow in reading. According to Irvine, some of the students who apply for the course just want to improve their reading habits; however, some are very poor in reading. Others report they are falling down in their grades because they are un able to understand what they read in their textbooks. J Since the program has only Detriment Tp Graduate Program Is Objection By GRAHAM SNYDER A consensus of several profes sors on the pending out-of-state, tuition increase bill brought unanimous die-approval and objec tion here yesterday to the pro posed $200 increase. All of the professors expressed ; primary objection to the possible increase because of the detriment to the graduate program it would bring by discouraging out of state graduate students from entering UNC. Outcome of the bill, which waj introduced to the General Assem bly three weeks ago by Rep. L. H. f Ross, is not known. If the increase goes through, the out of state tui-, tion rate, which is now $500, wculd be raised to not more than $700. "REGIONAL CENTER" Dr. Arnold Perry, dean of the Education School said, "I am op-1 Caro-!Posed to the out-of-state tuition increase. UNC has been- a region- al center for graduate work. It has gained prestige through its grad uate work. "When people looked for a uni versity in which to continue their graduate work, they always looked to UNC. However there is no long er any GI bill to finance this ex pense. With the increase in the speed varied from 154 words per minute (the slowest) to 1,698 words per minute (the fastest). When student- first began the course the average speed was 250 words per minute while the aver age on completion rose to 525 words per minute. And in improving the reading speed, "ordinarily, comprehension improves except in the case of stu dents whose comprehension is ex cellent to begin with," reports Irvine. Compoad mostly of undergrad uates (85 per cent) fairly well dis tributed among the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes, the course is offered three times a week, any hour from 8 a.m. to" 4 fp.nv, both semesters. This semester 247 were enrolled in the couro'3. The program is not given in summer school. Students Interest ed in registering for the course can do so by going by the Read ing Program Office, 08 Peabody, during the first week of -school next fall. "Next fall we expect to be able to take all applicants for the course. However, it may be neees sary to ask a few to wait until the next semester," Irvine said. "If so, My Several UNC Prate rate, ,it will mean we are becom ing provincial." Dr. Norman E. Eliason' stated he was against the bill because of. its particular negative effect on graduate students "whom we need badly." "The price (for tuition) should not be so high as to drive gradu ate students away," said Dr. Ar thur Roe, chairman of the Dept. of Chemistry. In the case of the increase proposal, Dr. Roe said it "would be a bit too high." j Asst. Psvcholoev Professor Mil-1 0 ton Rosenbaum saw the increase as "leading to a decrease in grad uate student enrollment, and any thing conducive to bringing grad uate students- to the university is good." - Several professors who declined comment on the increase because of an insufficient knowledge of its details, generally objected to the bill because of the consequence of it creating a "one state univer sity." Dr. William S. Wells, English professor, a-aid the increase would be "a most unfortunate thing. The nature of a university as a uni versity is that it has a cosmopoli tan atmosphere, which comes from out of state students." Dr. Wells said "it will particu larly affect the graduate pro gram." Dr. .J. Burton Linker, mathe matics profcyor, .said he thought the bill would not . be "a good ;'moytf or trie "students' and admin istration." However, he said. "There is a strong feeling among many people to have it increased."

Asked to comment on the read ing program, several UNC profes sors were in agreement on the usefulness of the course. Dean Norval Neil Luxon of the School of Journalism has found the course to be very worthwhile, both here and on another campus, by helping students with vocabu lary as well as reading compre hension. One case he used to ex emplify hs thoughts concerned a student who was having difficulty with hisa reading, but after taking the course went on to make Phi Beta Kappa. Dean Arnold Perry of the School of Education- felt that "through the service of this worthwhile pro gram students are increasing their competence in one of the most important of basic skills used in study." Prof. Harold A. Bierck of the IPt. of History welcomed the fact the course was provided. "Some students in difficulty don't realize their problem is reading," he said, going on to point out he considered speed and comprehen sion, -the two biggest problems of students. , : Mill. iiiuiiHTWi?! ?wyywjFgjwu..wiJ .- tm m mt.y ffify' ' -.'vvol. j. )J i.yyjpim ." . . . j Construction Begins On Dormitories Construction for three new men's dormitories, ta be built on the hill overlooking Navy and Fetirr Fields, began recently.
