C. Advisory Budget Com mission will meet with the Budget Bureau officials to revise and complete the narrative of the 1961-63 spending proposal. The commission ended their work on the details Tuesday. Contents of the budget document will remain a secret until it goes to the Legislature in February. But the commission has announced that it will recommend about $623 million to con tinue state services at 1959-61 level. The requests of agencies and institutions to expand old services and provide new ones totaled $150 million. Included in this figure is the $106 million request of the State Board of Education, which is strongly backed by Gov.-elect Terry Sanford. Considers UNC Budget The Commission is also considering the 1961-63 Consoli dated University budget in which the State Board of Higher Education recently recommended slashes of 67.5 per cent and 76.6 per cent for the two years respectively. The budget prepared by Gov. Hodges and the commission is a summary of the budget picture and contains official revenue estimates on which the spending schedules are based. Sanford will give his recommendations in his message to the Assembly. He has been informed on the commission's work and has been assigned the task of recommending new tax "revenues if they are needed for increasing revenues to cover education proposal. . National Science Foundation Gives $953 000 For UNC Summer Institutes The National Science Founda tion has awarded grants to the University totaling $95,900 for two six-week science institutes to be held at UNC during the summer of 1961.

The Institute in Earth One of 10 Quaker Colleges Guilford Pacifists Protest Marine Corps Selection Team A Marine Corps officer selection team stationed in Raleigh drew a protest this week from four Guilford College students who profess opposition to warfare. Speaking for the group of pacifist students, Frederick L. Moore, Jr., 19-year-old fresh man from Fillmore, Calif., said the Marines were recruiting students to become "machines of destruction." Moore said that the aim of his group is to present "Chris tian pacifism" to students be fore they joined any branch of the armed forces. Protest Limited The protest was limited to the distribution of pacifist lit erature to students' in the col lege union. - - - The Marine Corps selection FEDERAL SUIT B. IN ALL AGAINST. MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI) The federal government filed suif Wednesday to halt alleged economic reprisals against 400 Fayette County, Tenn., Negroes who voted or had relations that voted in the November elec tion. The suit was filed in Federal District Court here. Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers announced the action in Washington. The complaint named some 82 defendants, including more than 45 land owners, some two dozen merchants and one bank. It accused them of intimidation, coercion and economic discrimi nation against Negroes who registered and voted. The Justice Department said Infirmary Students in the Infirmary yes terday included Wayne -King, Francis Coleman, Ann Hopkins, Craig Moore, William Vaughn, John Alexander, Morgan Hap- per, Judith Jackson, Sally Alle, Robert Deal and Vincent Thomas. - Godfrey Urging Students To See State Legislators Faculty switches to other schools offering more lucrative faculty salaries, lower teaching load, better libraries and re search facilities are the consequences UNC will have to face if the budget requests are cut as recommended, says J. L. Godfrey, dean of the faculty. Godfrey says UNC has never been able to compete with the best eight or 10 colleges such as Harvard, Princeton and Yale in getting faculty members. If the budget is cut, the University will compete with .schools at a lower level including South Carolina and Georgia, he said. The "B" budget requested only salary increases for faculty members who deserved them due to the work they have been doing here, Godfrey pointed out. . He says the committee offering faculty positions tells him it is "extremely difficult" first to locate capable teachers and then to get them to come to Chapel Hill. Sometimes the small size of the town works favorably in obtaining faculty desiring small town residence. What can UNC students do to keep the faculty up to par? Godfrey suggests that they spend some of their Christmas vacation convincing their state legislature representatives of the need for increasing salaries for those who merit it and thereby increasing the budget recommendations. ' " Godfrey said he was in Atlanta when 1500 UNC students rallied for increased faculty salaries and . the student union, so he had no idea what reaction it had on the faculty.

There arc 10 Quaker colleges in the United States and Moore said that Guilford is the only one to permit such visits to the campus. Moore said that although the action of the pacifist group was a "peaceful protest" they are more interested in presenting "their side of the story" to stu dents than in protesting. 15, 1960 Offices in TLGED the Negroes involved face evic tion Jan. 1 from farms in Fay ette County although some of the - families have lived on the same land for as long as 25 years. The government asked for a temporary injunction to halt the evictions and a permanent injunction barring eviction and other economic reprisals. Third Suit The suit was the third filed in Tennessee under the 1957 Civil Rights Act. The other two involve eviction notices against some 300 Negroes in Haywood County. The new complaint was filed by John Doar, first assistant to the chief of the. Justice Depart ment's Civil Rights Division. The department said Fayette County landowners waited until 1960 crops had been harvested before, ordering Negro tenant farmers to get outr The suit charged the repri sals started in the summer of 1959, when Fayette County Ne groes launched a concerted ef fort to register to vote.
