Dan Moore yesterday hailed a $1 million grant to the North Carolina Symphony as a "great and significant oppor tunity for the people of North Carolina." The grant, announced yes terday by the Ford Founda tion, includes $750,000 in en downment funds which must be matched by the orchestra within 5 years. Non-matching funds make up $250,000 of the grant. The symphony headquarter ed here was one of 61 orches tras in 33 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico which were named to receive grants totaling $80.4 million.

A. S. Waters, assistant busi ness manager, said the new building would probably be three or four stories high and contain about 47,000 square feet, if approved. The request will have to be Inside dent symphony as well as a touring symphony." In Southern Pines, State Sen. Voit Gilmore, president of the symphony, said the North Carolina orchestra will become a full-size, full-time profession al organization when the Ford challenge grant can be match ed. The Ford Foundation's grant program is designed to up okayed by the 1967 General Assembly. The present infirmary was jointly financed by the Navy and the university. "We're now trying to serve a student body practically dou ble the size for which the pres ent building was constructed," explained Dr. Edward M. Hodgpeth, director of the Stu dent Health Service and Uni versity physician since 1941. Originally, three floors and a basement were assigned to the health care of the students here. Later, to help N. C. Me morial Hospital relieve a crit ical space problem, one floor and the basement of the infir mary were turned over to the hospital. These areas are still used by the hospital. The request for a new infir mary will be included in the largest two-year building ex pansion program ever propos ed by the University. The capital improvements program is designed to cope with the problems of skyrock eting enrollment in undergrad uate and graduate schools. The student enrollment for next fall has been set at 13, 250 four times the enrollment when the infirmary building was erected a quarter of a century ago.

"The real difference is in the number of male students." Gaskin said there are 54 few- grade the quality of orches tras throughout the nation by enabling more musicians to devote their major energies to orchestral performances, to extend the range of orchestras to larger audiences, and to attract more talented young people to professional careers in orchestras by raising the income of symphony music ians, officials said. beds "without crowding." Ac tually, several private rooms have been converted to semi private rooms to meet the demand for beds and the in firmary can care for about 65 bed patients. While awaiting the action of the state's legislators next year, the infirmary staff is col lecting building plans from other universities of similar size. The annual report of the in firmaryjust released shows a significant increase in al most every area of its opera tions. "The workload," said Dr. Hedgpeth, "results in a very acute need for space and per sonnel." The increase in student en rollment from 1964-65 to 1965- 66 brought with it an 8 per cent average increase in pa tients seen in the infirmary. The infirmary staff took care of a surprising 54,000 am bulatory patients during the past school year while render ing bed care to about 1,700 pa tients. The infirmary's psychiatric clinic accepted nearly 400 new patients (an increase of near ly 24 per cent over the year before) and the psychiatrists saw more than 1,000 individual students (an increase of 34 per' cent). er male students enrolled in this summer session than one year ago.
