Financial Responsibility

(First in a series of editorials
concerning the increasing student
financial obligation at UNC)
The "high" in higher educa
tion in North Carolina in terms of
student costs has gone as far as it
reasonably can go.
When Consolidated University
President William C. Friday ex
pressed his concern this week over
the heavy financial burden being
placed on students in the expan
sion of the Consolidated Universi
ty, he was treading in an area
that should be of great concern to
every member of the University
community and every citizen of
this state.
A North Carolina resident pre
sently can attend UNC for approx
imately $1,391 per year. This is
considerably less expensive than
it would be for him to attend Duke
University or some out - of - state -school
of comparable standing to
UNC.
The principle reason for having
state - supported colleges and uni
versities is to place a good edu
cation within the realms of finan
cial possiblity for the state's citi
zens. North Carolina was the first
state in the Unioq to meet the
need for such an institution.
But, unless the state is awak
ened to and assumes its full finan
cial responsibility in this area, the
ability to pay will soon become
a principal condition of admission
to the University, and many stu
dents will be denied the opportun
ity to come.
Here are some of the proposed
or recently - completed projects
in which students bear the costs:
Student Union, $2 million
borrowed from the federal govern
ment's Department of Housing
and Urban Development.. (H.U. D
loans are repaid 'over long - term ".
periods " from" profits realized
through student expenditures.)
t Morrison Residence Hall, $2,
544,000, borrowed from HUD.
Carmichael Auditorium, $1,
230,000 appropriated by the state,
$494,923 to be paid by the Athletic
Association. (Students help bear
cost through participation.)
Hinton James and Polk Res
idence Halls, $6 million borrow
ed from HUD.
Community Center and Serv
ice Building, $135,000, to be paid
" from married student housing ear
nings. Book Exchange - Office Tow
er, $1,455,000 to be paid from re
tail stores earnings.
Proposed residence halls for
2,000 students, $8 million, to be
borrowed from HUD.
Renovations to Lenoir Hall,
$700,000, to be borrowed from
HUD.
So, starting with the construc
tion of Morrison and going through
since - completed or proposed pro
jects, students are indebted, $26,
463,923. Add to this the portion of
the $50 million borrowed since
1955 which has not yet been re
paid and you get a staggering fi
gure. Then, of course, the student
has his normal expenses such as
tuition, activities fee, meals, laun
dry, books, clothing, etc.
It appears to us that the state
is moving toward the idea that if
its provides classrooms, libraries
and laboratories, it has fullfilled
its obligation.
Some members of the General
Assembly are noted to use this ar
gument: "There are 4,000 automo
biles in Chapel Hill not old mo
del Fords and Chevrolets, but new
more expensive ones. This kind of
affluence indicates that the stud
ents can well afford to bear a sub
stantial portion of the University's
financial burden."
To these people, we ask that
they take notice of the 9,000 stu
dents who do not have automobiles.
We also ask them to take note
of the fact that the student aid of
fice whose scholarships dor not
exceed: ?l$400 1 )iave sufficient
funds to reach only one out of ev
ery five students in the Universi
ty, and that scholarship funds and
loan funds have been reduced
since last year.
We think the figures speak
loudly for themselves.

Adverbial Advice
English, the noble tongue of
Geoffrey Chaucer, William
Shakespeare, and George Ber
nard Shaw, is about to lose
another round in the never -ending
bout between correct
usage and general practice.
An innocent little adverb
hopefully is inching insidi
ously toward acceptance as a
sort of substitute for "I hope
that. . . ."
The worst offenders, ironi
cally, seem to be the best -educated
people, since this lit
tle gramamtical goof got start
ed somewhere in the upper
middle classes. ...
i The misuse of the word , is
particularly popular "at , UNC.
? Unchecked , it may soon
spread from the deans and de
partment heads all the way
down . to the dullest students.
Before long, it will be too late
to turn back toward the path
of adverbial authenticity.
What's wrong with "hopeful
ly"? Not a thing, as long as
it's used to mean "in a man
ner full of hope." For instance,
there's nothing wrong with
saying that Joe Studied hope
fully for his final exams. In
other words, Joe, while study
ing, was full of hope, otimis
tic. What's wrong with "hope
fully" is that practically no
body uses the word that way
any more. Instead, we hear
things like "Hopefully, I'll fi
nish by midnight"; "hopeful
ly, the patient will recover";
"hopefully, it won't rain to
morrow." What the speaker meant to
say, in that last instance, is
that he hopes it won't rain to
morrow. But what he's actual
ly said is this: if it rains to
morrow, it won't rain in a
hopeful manner. (It might
rain, of course, in some other
manner despondently, per
haps, or maliciously, or faceti-
r,
ously. But it won't rain hope
fully.) Those who are alreacy ad
dicted to sprinkling their
speech with illegitimate "hope
fully's" will find fault with that
analysis. They've heard too
manv intelligent, even erudite,
people using the expression.
So, they will say, if "hopeful
ly" is wrong, then so are "un
fortunately," "probably,"
"siginificantly," possibly."
and manv other well-established
adverbs.
. Almost, but not quite. For
saying "Unfortunately, Bill
fell down the stairs" means
ydu think it unfortunate that
Bill had an accident. But sav
ing "Hopefully, it won't rain
tomorrow" doesn't mean you
think it hopeful that wet wea
ther isn't on the way. As p
matter of fact, saying that has
no coherent meaning at all.
Still, the avowed misuser of
"hopefully" will call his cri
tics purists and argue that ev
erybody uses the expression
and knows what it means. Has
he considered the consequen
ces of this kind of linguistic
laziness?
Tf "hopefully" is all right for
"I hope that," then what's
wrong with "Fearfully, the
football team will lose," in
place of "I'm afraid the team
will lose"? Or "Thoughtfullv.
the movie started at nine."
instead of "I thought the movie
started at nine"?
Such ambiguity breeds ab
surdity. "Hopefully" must be
nipped in the bud before it
gains a foothold in the lower
classes and becomes a fixture
in our already confused lan
guage. The hour is late. This week'
"hopefully," used the wrong
way. turned un in the editor
ial columns of The Durham
Morning Herald. Tomorrow
The New York Times? Hope
fully oops! er, we, ah, hope
not.
So, purists of the world,
arise. Save the King's English
from desecration and destruc
tion. You must fight cour
ageously, interpidly, and
yes hopefully.

M
Editor, Daily Tar Heel:
I must object to the article
on the Baltimore Orioles writ
ten by Drummond Bell. As a
life - long Dodger fan, I must
protect to the misleading and
erroneous comments made by
Bell.
First, he comments that the
Orioles always come up with
trict Silence Rule
Should Be Retained
For the past several weeks,
the Interfraternity Council has
narrowly defeated (by one vote
each time) a motion to end
strict silence.
The motion has been to re
place strict silence with a
semi - silence system, where
fraternity men could talk to
Drospective rushees between
between Monday and Friday
bu only on campus.
The argument for this new
system says that many fra
ternities are being hurt, since
the rise of the Residence Col
lege System has given dormi
tories a sufficient social pro
gram. Now more boys stay in the
dorms and fewer go through
rush, and the fraterniy system
as a whole is suffering. By
modifying the strict silence,
fraternities will be in a bet
ter bargaining position to sell
the fraternitv system to fresh
men. Thus the argument goes.
The other side of the coin
shows several fallacies in this
argument. How can fraternity
men sell the fraterniiv sys
tem by talking to individual
freshmen on sidewalks? Obvi
ously, it would evolve into a
cut - throat attempt bv each
fraternity to sell themselves at
the expense of other houses.
It doesn't take much ima
gination to see fraternities as
signing its members to cer
tain rushees, or to see broth
ers of three different fraterni
ties approaching a particular
rush'5'1 after his everv class.
Such a modified system
would nut strains on both the
fraternities and the freshmen.
Tf tho fraternities are reallv
suffering, perhaps the I F C
could study the rush system
used at the University of Vir
ginia. Th0 freshmen are allowed
to visit fraternities on certain
ooen weekends, allowing the
rushees to see what fraterni
ties are really like, and vice
versa.
Th point is, rush is some
thing you don't half do. You
either go head over heels,
or you lose out. The recur
ring motion before the IFC is
an attempt to halfway open up
strict silence, and we feel it
would be a disaster.
We hope that the IFC's ma
jority of one can and will persist.
the big play and gives as an
example two games with Bos
ton. "They splurged for over
four runs in the ninth to win,"
he said.
How can they "splurge" for
over four without making five?
Anyway, using Boston as an
example is misleading.
Many teams have accom
plished the same feat as the
Orioles against Boston. One
example The last place, fee
ble - hitting Yanks scored five
in the ninth to beat Boston,
six to five.
Baltimore's pitching wasn't
a sight to behold; rather, it was
Dodger hitting that was the
sight to behold. The Dodgers
have been shut out many tim
es this year (17) and runs
were always scarce. But the
Series was pathetic.
Furthermore, it was 33 inn
ings, not 32, that the Dodgers
failed to score. One of t h e
mo?t ridiculous comments of
all was that "Baltimore pow
er struck like lightning." I sug
gest that it was more of the
flashlight variety rather than
lightning.
The Orioles, known for their
hitting, didn't exactly rip the
cover off the ball. Their
r verage with a meagre .240.
Dodger pitching was strong, as
usual, but you can't win un
less you score. The Dodgers,
who scored fewer runs than
any other NL team, just
couldn't.
This article reminds me of
the idiot on the Tar Heel staff
last spring who said that Ralph
Houk in his 3 years with the
straight world championships.
Yet in that third year, 1963,
the Dodgers beat" the Yankees
four straight that" was jwhen
pitching overpowered hitting.
Tut! Tut! The; quality of
sportswriters on the Tar Heel
staff hasn't improved. ,
Curtis Patton
Since last March's stock market decline, the na
tion's attention has been focused on the state of the
economy and has increasingly become wary of the
inflationary pressures ,and recessionary tendencies
that have appeared these last seven months.
With five years of unprecedented and uninter
cupted economic growth, it seemed as if the business
cycle had been mastered through the
application ot js.eynsian economics in
the guise of deficit government spend
ing and tax reductions; however, omi
nous clouds have appeared, and the
SSr hv. threat of a recession lingers on the ho-
XT rizon, if not having already begun.
This is not to say that the use of
these fiscal tools in aiding the economic
development of the nation is wrong or harmful, but it
is to say that the perfect answer to controlling our
rate of growth has yet to t)e found.
The reports of large corporate earnings are still
continuing, but these are deceiving and are only a
facade, because such things as declining backlogs
and rising inventories are indicative of a future lag
in earnings and a decline in general business activity.
Recently President Johnson asked for a suspen
sion of the investment credit and a decrease in fed
eral spending in order to clamp down on inflation
in the economy, but in order to judge his actions a
vital question remains: Has the recession already
begun?
If the recession has begun, the the natural solu
tion is to increase spending and decrease the tax
rates to get the economy rolling again. But the prob
lem of inflation still exists, and no hope for a salvation
of the 3.29 per cent guideline for wages and the sus
pension of price increases by business effectively
exists.
If a post-election tax increase is effected, it
would be pure folly if we have indeed entered the re
cession phase of the business cycle. Then too, if the
recession has not begun and is not going to appear,
then all of the above anti-inflationary steps may be
necessary and even desirable.
A vital question arises again, where are we?
For myself, I do not really know, but I do know
that the solution for stabilizing fluctuations in the bus
iness cycle is not what it has been acclaimed, and
that - we have only been lulled into a daydream of
(theory. .
One day the answer may be found, but yet we
have gone a long way in helping to solve our econom
ic problems, but till then, what goes up, must come
down!
University Of Pacific
Keeps Small Classes
In 1958, the University of the Pacific, like almost
every other institution of higher learning in the coun
try, had to cope with the consequences of rapid
growth.
Many of the values which had characteriezd its
educational process; small classes, close student
faculty relationships, participation in a community of
scholars where each member was important; were
becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. ' Could
the needs of the new era and the values of the old
coexist?
The University of the Pacific sought an answer to
this in the "cluster college" concept. A group of new
colleges were set up, with a maximum enrollment of
250 students, its own faculty, and administrative of
ficer. Each was encouraged to develop a distinctive tra
dition and academic flavor. Yet each was to be very
much a part of the total university. All were to have
the same chief administrative officers, use of certain
essential services provided by the admissions, regis
trar's, public relations, and business offices and ac
cess to the university's health, library, athletic and
classroom facilities.
The first two of these colleges to be set up, Ray
mond and Elbert Covell, are good examples of the
possibilities of this approach. Raymond College is a
liberal arts college with several important changes:
1. Teaching methods feature seminars, tutorials,
and independent study.
2. The curriculum is not arranged on a "depart
ment basis. Rather it emphasizes interdisciplinary
