"We don’t expect to use up the entire time allotted us,” Mr. Fri day told the Weekly reporter dur ing the week end. “We will oon * eentrate on only three items,” he: said. He indicated that the pleas will! emphasize the need for more ■funds to provide pay increases; or adequate compensations to pro-1 fessors and to acquire more li brary books. Although there will be lesser items, the third big one will be proposed tuition fees at the Woman’s College and the University here. The appropriations bill, as it now stands, makes provision that the University should get some of its money for the next bien nium from increased tuition fees. University officials are known to hold that tuition fees are high enough already. They are now compiling figures to show how the University rates with others in the South. Tentatively com-' piled figures show the Univer sity’s fees among the highest, and about 40% of the students having to call on scholarships, loans, grants and outside work to make their way through the col leges.

I “All right, Pam,” the teacher said. “Mud,” said Pam Parker. "in this game the children learn phonics," the teachers said to the PTA members who were meeting at the Chapel Hill Ele mentary, School last Thursday evening. Then she wrote on the board, "baby, big, bake, make," and said, “Now lets say them an(i then we will say which one looks different and sounds different in | the beginning.” | The children pronounced each word in unison. Then the hands again went up. "All right, Buddy, suppose you tell us which sounds and looks | different at the beginning,” the teacher said. Buddy Allen said, “Make.” This demonstrates phonics and sight reading in audiovisual per ception’' the teacher explained to the audience. They then listened to words, and said with what lettei each word started. Then they figured ' out new word, by changing the: [first lettei of each word that had, been used. Then they rhymed, words and again changed the first| i letters to make new wolds. Next they applied the new word to their stoiy. The first grade teacher in [charge was Mrs, Howard Layer, jand hci pupils who participated I in the reading clinic were Worth Relink, Linda Humphrey, Peter Tyree and the children formerly j mentioned, Ram and Buddy.

In the meantime the | physical therapist is teaching the |iamily the exact exercises that | the boy must have at each stage us development. The necessary equipment has been supplied so i that he will walk as soon as he has learned the techniques and his little muscles are strong enough to support him.
