Dr. J. Harris Purks Jr., staff director for the State Board of Higher Education in a telephone interview Tuesday night stressed that the Board "doesn't have authority to cut any thing out. It reviews and appraises the budget" and makes an independent recommendation to the General Assembly. "In effect the Board says to the university, 'We'll sup port you to the point of our recommendations.' After that point the University has a perfect right to go before the Assembly on its own." Do you personally think the Board's recommended budg et would be adequate for a progressive higher education sys tem for the next two years? ; "Why certainly," Dr. Purks said. "We consider these amounts to be the irreducible amounts necessary" for faculty salary increases. Our recom mendation "tends to put a floor on it, not a ceiling." There is "no controversy as far as we are concerned." He indicated no one has approached the Board about the recommendation, although newspapers had "made something" Put 'Floor, Not Ceiling' On Budget of it. How much influence does the Board have on the actual decision? Mr. Purks replied that the General Assembly makes the final decision. It would be "presumptuous of me to even answer that" . He indicated that the Board's recommendations were "bwased on a large volume of materials" gathered by the Universities . and the Board. They have considered the. "mate rials" and requests for three or four months. Dr. Purks, who is not on the Board, said the nine Board members are not on salary. They are appointed by the Gover nor with House and Senate approval for an eight-year term. Reason; Make Fuller Use Of Present Facilities RALEIGH . (UPI) The State Board of Higher Educa tion has proposed a $38 million building program and called for colleges to make fuller use of their present facilities. . . The program, which the board outlined Tuesday, called for $29,194,625 in state funds and $8,777,000 in "self-liquidating construction. ' The board's proposal embraced about 60 per cent of new construction . requests submitted by state-supported institu tions of higher learning. The 16 schools asked for more than $66 million for constructing new facilities. The action of the board was in line with its decision last week to slash requested funds by $9.7 million. The schools had asked a total of $14 million in their operational budgets for new and expanded services. The -board recommended that $24,973,000 of its program for building be labeled "for future consideration." In a statement accompanying the recommendations, the board said institutions must give greater attention to effec tive utilization of space by ingenuity in scheduling classes." It said colleges should ease expanding enrollment by of fering more regular undergraduate courses in the summer. Students should be encouraged to attend summer school to graduate earlier. "The board is convinced from its on-site inspections of buildings and campuses that a more effective method should be adopted to insure that timely and adequate maintenance willbe employed at all institutions," the board said. Poet v v On jld Shakeup In Legisla ture? BY STEVE LINDELL Will there be a shake-up in the judicial branch of student government? This controversial issue will be debated tonight in the stu dent legislature. The subject of the debate, the controversial article three of the new student constitution, calls for a change in the organization,- rev distribution of jurisdic tion and a closer definition of I the present areas of ambiguous jurisdiction of the various coun cils. In the debate last week over the first and second articles of the new document concerning the executive and legislative branches, some significant al terations of student government were made. Perhaps the most significant of these changes made was that to give the legislature the power to over-ride a presidential veto by a 23 vote of the legislature present. This provision, al though included in the old con stitution was to be left out of the new document. The student body treasurer was given more power over stu dent finances. The changes call for the treasurer to be made chairman of the Budget Com mittee and also a member of the legislature Finance Committee. There were proposed amend ments to the document which were rejected last week;' Defeated after heavy debate was a measure calling for the election of one-half of the legis lators in the fall and the other half in the spring. The reasoning behind the proposal was that there would be a turnover in legislature every semester thereby keeping pace with the fluctuations in student opinion. It was defeated on the grounds that such a measure was un necessary and that . there was actually some turnover in legis lature anyway. It was also pointed out that such a measure was the subject of legislation and not constitutional amend ment. , . ) The only other business of legislature tonight is a bill re questing funds to send 12 dele gates to the regional Conference of the National Student Asso ciation to be held the first week end in December 'at" Randolph Macon College in Lynchburg, Va. - ' ' " ' r - r; . ... -Vv If I . s X:, .. .:-:-vT!L I ' z 1 i liWHill Hi n mil ii lim ititMb ii 1 1 1 'i i fiin 1 1 Mm i ft itit jpMMMfcuaii irlrMXUHtWi'Hwl Campus Ghest Today is the last day lo be interviewed for Campus Chest positions.

Sources Say 'Rameses Is Stolen BY JERRY ESKRIDGE Two sources are claiming that Duke students have stolen Rameses VIII, Carolina's mas cot, and the Victory Bell, sym bol of football supremacy in the Carolina-Duke football game. The Raleigh Times reported Tuesday a rumor that Rameses had been stolen. Yesterday the Daily Tar Heel office received a cardboard postcard with its message formed by newsprint clipped from headlines. The message: "We Have the Victory Bell. Duke." But Rameses has not been stolen, according to caretaker Hubert Hogan. "He's hidden real well so no one can find him." Bell Stolen "The Victory Bell was stolen, but it was found covered up but otherwise unharmed in some woods near here. It, too, has now gone into hiding. The Victory Bell was begun in 1948 by the then Head Cheer leader Norman Sper. Since that time it has been awarded to the winner of each year's Carolina Duke gridiron clash. Carolina won it in '48 and '49. But then came seven years of drought until 1957, when the Tar Heels brought it home again by a score of 21-13. It went back to Duke in '58 by a 7-6 score, but the Tar Heels made that one point mar gin look silly last Thanksgiving with a 50-0 plastering, -so the Victory Bell was home again where it started.

(Phoio by Ray Francis) Against Vandalism Student Government Presi dent David Grigg issued the following statement yesterday on conduct at the coming UNC Dook grid clash: "This Saturday we will have another in the long series of Duke-Carolina football games. "This is one of the oldest con tinuous rivalries in the United States. It has been kept on a high plane, free of incidents which would have caused the discontinuation of this keen rivalry. Incidents In Past "However, there have been in the past, incidents of serious property damage on the part of Duke or Carolina students. We hope that this will not be the case this year. "Not only is it of tremendous expense to undo such damage, but such actions are . the epi tome of poor sportsmanship. We hope that all Carolina students will refrain from such actions before, during and after the game. "Acts of vandalism and mis conduct are not only poor re flections on the institutions con cerned but promise serious con sequences to those involved. "Any such actions will be considered violations of the Campus Code, subject to Stu dent Council action and will also involve action by the police authorities." Ferlinghetti Is Featured Tonight Carolina Grad To Autograph Books In Bull's Head Shop This Afternoon By MIKE ROBINSON Lawrence Ferlinghetti, described as a merciless, but often cheerful satirist, will read his poetry for the public tonight at 8 in Carroll Hall. - Ferlinghetti, a- prominent San Francisco poet, has achieved fame as a leader of the much publicized "Sun Francisco" movement which one critic called "The Ilo- mantic revolt which character-, izes the new poets of the fif ties."

His first novel "Her" appeared this year from New Directions-and a new collection of poetry "Love and Death" is scheduled for publica tion in 1961.

Spearman asserts that Ferling and Ferlinghetti are one and the same people. , Reads To Jazz Ferlinghetti or whoever he is reads some ot his poetry with jazz, in nightsots, and on recordings. His poems are writ ten to be read aloud as his ma terial, tone and phrasing are aken from everyday ideas and feelings. He changes them into poetry of satiric bite and lyric beauty. "The printing press," he says, has made poetry so silent that we have forgotten the power of poetry as 'oral messages.' " His best-known poem is "A Tentative Description of a Din ner to Promote the Impeach ment of President Eisenhower." A reception following the reading will be held in Graham Memorial. President-Elect's Lead Still Slimmer WASHINGTON (UPI) A higher percentage of Americans than ever before voted for president this year and apparently less than half voted for the winner. With only about one per cent of the vote still to be tabulated, the total balloting seemed certain to top by six million the record high ofl 62,027,000 set in 1952. Counts Votes So far United Press Interna tional has counted 67,849,776 votes for president. That's 63.4 per cent of the 106,974,000 civilians of voting age, a figure which includes al most three million aliens and many others who could not vote because of residence or other requirements. The previous record high par ticipation was set in 1952 when 62.7 per cent of the civilians of voting age cast ballots. Only 60.4 per cent voted in 1956. The latest returns from last Tuesday's balloting showed that Vice - President Richard M. Nixon continued to whittle away at Sen. J ohn F. Kennedy's popular vote margin in the presidential race. Holds Lead Kennedy still held a lead of 340,031, but Nixon had chopped 23,803 votes from the Democra tic candidate's margin within the past 36 hours. The tabulation showed: Kennedy 33,900,365. Nixon 33,569,396. Others 425,533. Of the nationwide two-party vote, Kennedy had 50.25 per cent and Nixon 49.75. Including the vote for minor party candidates and unpledged electors, Kennedy had 49.96 and Nixon 49.45 per cent of the total ballots cast.
