cord, including the College Board
.score.
Numerical points assigned to
previous grades under this for

Pay Raised For 5
Five University officials, ' in
cluding two officers of the Con
solidated University, were among
the 105 state executives awarded
salary increases last week ' by
the Advisory Budget Commis
sion. '
Gov. Terry Sanford said this
week he plans to make "broad
recommendations very soon" re
garding competitive salaries for
University officials.
The Governor reported from
White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.
after he was : questioned why
Consolidated University Presi
dent Wililam C. Friday was not
included- in the list of those re
ceiving salary increases.
The Governor said the Budget
Commission's having passed ov
er President Friday did not in
dicate negative action, but on
ly that "action has yet to be
considered."
"'President Friday's name is
on the list for consideration,"
Sanford said. "Frankly, we have
a serious problem to consider if
we are to maintain our leader
ship in higher education. A num
ber of private institutions and
many public colleges and all
leading universities pay more for
academic leadership than we do.

salaries for university leadership

Offer Controversy
By MIKE PUTZEL
Passage of a highly controversial speaker ban law by
the General Assembly, mass demonstrations and sit-ins
protesting local segregation and the resignations of
Chancellor William B. Aycock and two deans have made
big news in the University community this summer.
The speaker ban (which bars campus speaking facili
ties to known members of the Communist Party, persons
known to advocate the overthrow of the United States
or the state of North Caro
lina or persons who have
pleaded the Fifth Amendment to
the Constitution in refusing to
answer questions with respect
to communist or subversive act
ivities), has been only one of
many issues which have sprung
up concerning communism on the
campus. . .
' Communism
In late June, the North Carolina
Department of the American Le
gion passed a resolution con
demning the Progressive Labor
Club formed here a year ago as
"atheistic and hate-embittered"
and called on University trustees
and the General Assembly to in
vestigate this "Communist organ
ization." University officials
promptly answered the Legion's
charges saying they had "no
evidence that there is a Com
munist cell on campus."
A few days later, on June 25,
supporters of a previously un
mentioned speaker ban bill rush
ed it through both houses of the
State Legislature and into law
within a matter of minutes.

Visiting Coed Of
Code Violations
A student was found guilty of
three violations of the Campus
Code and received an official
reprimand in a Women's Coun
cil open trial this week.
The student pleaded guilty to
charges of being 18 hours and 33
minutes late, traveling after
hours without special permission
and signing out improperly.
The charges developed from a
weekend which the coed took be
ginning on a Thursday and end
ing on a Monday night.
The lateness resulted from the
fact that the student mistakenly
signed out to return Saturday
night and intended to return on
Sunday. When she started to
return to the University the car

New Group
Expected To 1
Replace COB
Official announcement of the
formation of a new bi-racial inte
grationist committee, to replace
the Committee for Open Busi
ness which collapsed last week,
is expected within the week. ?
The committee, Citizens United
for Racial Equality and Dignity
(CURED), will probably broaden
its goalsj calling' for more com
plete integration of all phases of
life in Chapel Hill. An .immedi-
ate goal is voter registration, a
spokesman said.
With no apparent solution to
Chapel Hill's racial problems in
sight, indications are that anti
segregation protests will con
tinue. ;
