North Carolina is going to be in big
financial trouble if, as many economists
predict, the state's tax revenues fall
more than $50 million short this year,
House Appropriations Committee
Chairperson Jimmy Love, D-Le'e, said
Sunday.
Economists have estimated that
because of inflation, state tax revenues
will be $20 million to $150 million less
than was anticipated when the state's
1976 budget was prepared, Love said.
The estimates were based on North
Carolina's economic situation between
June and November and on corporate

income taxes already collected, he said.
The actual revenue shortage will not be
determined until May when individual
income taxes have been collected.
But economists and the budget
committee will review the December
January economic trend in early
February to try to predict a more
accurate picture of the shortage. Love
said.
If the state's economic situation has
worsened, the General Assembly may
move its scheduled May session up to
March, he said. He added that this is
doubtful.
Love said the revenue shortage would
necessitate sharp cuts in the state's
budget, despite the $300 million already
trimmed by the General Assembly last
summer.
"We've already cut right much out of
the budget last time, and now we'll have
to cut from capital improvements," he
said, citing the prison system, building
projects in the University system and the
East Carolina University medical school
as areas for which major cuts may be
made.
While the monetary shortage could be
alleviated by increasing the value of the
University capital improvements bond
referendum, most of the compensation
would have to come from cutting
project budgets and eliminating and
delaying projects, he said.
Several state legislators believe the
shortage will be more than $50 million.
"My feeling is that the high side of the
figures will be more likely $70 to $80
to $90 million," Sen. Charles Vickery,
D-Orange, said. "I don't know any
reason why the economy will go up and
bring in more revenues."
Rep. Ed Holmes, D-Orange, said he
believes a realistic estimate is between
$50 to $60 million.

WHY
New government positions and
projects could be cancelled to make up
for part of the shortages, Holmes
suggested. "It would seem to me to be
less painful to cut down on some
positions created by not yet filled, or
some capital improvement projects that
were appropriated but not yet started,"
he said.
The state will have an unknown
amount of reversions (funds that were
appropriated but not spent) which could
be appropriated, but Holmes said that
reversions expected to amount to only
about $41 million would probably be
exhausted quickly.
It . is dangerous to depend on
reversions anyway, he said, since they
are unpredictable and to use them
would "put the squeeze on us for next
year" if 1976-77 revenues did not
increase.
Love explained that reversions are
derived largely from turnovers in state
personnel, leaving unused salary funds.
But with with the bad economic
conditions, people are not leaving their
job, and the reversions do not
materialize.
Despite the impending financial
situation, Holmes, Vickery and Love
said the pay raises promised last session
to state employees would be a top
priority with the legislators.
Employees had hoped to get pay
raises last year, but the $300 million
budget cut made it impossible for the
legislature to grant them. The assembly
pacified the employees with promises of
a raise this year.
"I'm hopeful and confident that state
employees will get their raise, probably
a 5-7 per cent raise." Vickery said. "I
personally hope they get a 10 per cent
cost-of-living raise."
Love said every effort would be made
to give the employees the raise, but said
even a 5 per cent increase would
necessitate a $70 million appropriation.

UNC given grants
for scientific study
by Laura Seism
Staff Writer
UNC has received seven state research
grants totaling approximately $71,000 from
the N.C. Science and Technology
Committee in Research Triangle Park, Gov.
Jim Holshouser's office announced recently.
The chemistry, geology, botany and
marine sciences departments recently were
awarded $55,000 in grants to purchase
equipment that will be used for industrial
research. Two UNC professors received
individual grants from the committee to
study problems of statewide concern.
In all, the committee awarded 22 grants
totaling $181,000 to universities and
scientists throughout the state. Also
receiving grants were N. C. State University,
Duke University, N.C. Central University,
Davidson College, the Research Triangle
Institute and UNC campuses in Greensboro,
Asheville and Charlotte.
Prof. David Steward of the geology
department said Monday that his
. department's $10,000 grant will be used to
purchase a gravity meter, which measures
minute changes in the Earth's gravitational
field. He said the meter could be used to
select safe locations for nuclear power plants
or to predict earthquakes but noted he did
not anticipate using the meter for the latter
purpose.
The chemistry department received
$14,000 to purchase a device to study
highly conductive materials. Such research
could enhance the possibility of
transmitting electric power over long
distances cheaply.

Holiday apartment thefts down
by Dwight Ferguson
and Bob King
Staf Writers
Students' apartments were virtually
untouched by burglars during Christmas
holidays because of increased patrols in
student living areas, area police and security
officers said.
Lt. Kenneth Home of the Carrboro Police
Department said that only one student
apartment was reported to have been
burglarized during the Christmas holidays.
Approximately $275 worth of goods,
including a tape player and television was
reported stolen from the apartment of senior
Karen McKee of Royal Park apartments.
Home said that there were some leads in the
case, but no arrests have been made yet.
However, he noted that there were several
burglaries at Old Well apartments over
Thanksgiving weekend. Police
investigations of these and the Christmas
burglary have led to several arrests,
including some for burglaries more than a
year old. Home said.
He added that most of the burglaries were

department will go toward the purchase of
accessories for two mass spectrometers. This
research project involves trace analysis of
organic materials, such as flavor
components in food, Prof. Maurice Bursey
said. N.C. State will collaborate with UNC
in this research, he added.
The botany department's $14,000 grant
will be used in studies of tumor-causing
bacteria, Prof. Ann Matthysse said Monday.
Researchers are studying ways to control
mosquitoes and disease in N.C. crops, she
noted adding that the research might lead to
an alternative for pesticides.
The Institute of Marine Sciences received
$9,000 to research the history of the sea level
along the North Carolina coast and predict
future coastal changes.
Prof. Charles Jenner of the zoology
department was granted $5,500 for
individual research. He said the money will
be used by three zoology graduate students
to publish an already completed study of two
varieties of crustaceans. Jenner said the
crustaceans were food sources for
commercially important animals.
Dr. James ' Coke" of '"the '"chemistry
department also receivedan individual grant
of $10,000 for insect control research. Coke
said he would try to find better and cheaper
ways to manufacture a chemical used by
insects to communicate with each other. He
noted that this chemical could be used to lure
insects to insecticide traps.
Over 78 proposals for the grants were
submitted to the 14-member selections
committee. Annual financial reports to the
committee over the past 10 years indicate
that each $1 awarded instate funds for
research has been matched by S6 by out-of-state
sources.

professionals because of their ages, but said
that they were looking for money and goods
to resell. "In their motives," he said, "they are
at least semi-professional."
Lt. H. Lucas Lloyd of the Chapel Hill
Police Department said he had heard "no
reports directly relating to students" during
the Christmas holidays.
Last year, Lloyd said, several fraternities
were burglarized during Christmas vacation.
But increased patrols of fraternities have
kept such burglaries from happening this
year, he said.
UNC Security Services Director
Ted
Marvin said the campus police have received
only scattered theft reports so far this year.

"Over the past few years, theft problems
have occurred just before and just after
break," Marvin explained. "The pattern has
been to break into students rooms late at
night one or two nights after they return
from vacation, when they're carrying their
tuition money in their wallets and' purses."
