In a message to the nearfy 300
solicitors and supervisors in the
10-agen,cy campaign, Mr. Green
set forth his reasons for feeling
that money was definitely avail
able to meet the $24,721 budget.
He cited a 5.2 per cent increase
in the University budget for the
current year, an 8.1 per cent in
crease in construction locally for
Ihe first 10 months of this .vear
over last year, and a 10 per cent
drop in income taxes. "All of
this,” he said, “has resulted in a
$1,285,000 rise in total bank de
posits in Chapel Hill from last
year to this—a 12.7 per cent in
crease. Yes, the money is here.”

division heads in the campaign
