It is confined to discussions of matters of general interest and major importance. The General Assembly devot ed the past wtH-'k largely to grind ing out non - controversial bills while awaiting the report of the Appropriations Committee (pro bably late next week) which will •soon pluge the Statehouse into its traditionally frenzied end-of- S(«;sioii rush. The latest word on adjournment prospects is an an nouncement tooay by legislative leaders of a Jfune 12th target date. Tuesday saw the introduc tion of the 1000th bill in the House and Friday brought the .)(X)th bill in the Senate. The to tal number of bills now in the hopper, 1543, while running more than 250 bills behind the rate of introductions in 19G3’s bumjter harvest, is about average for ^this stage of the session. This ■ ieneral Assembly continues to "move bills along to enactment faster than usual: 743 chapters have been ratified to-date, by comparison with 651 on the same legislative day in 1963. EDUCATION, As the 1965 session enters itis closing weteks the subject of ed ucation remains one of the As sembly’s hottest topics. From Governor Moore’s opening legis lative speaker ban law, educa tional concerns have been high voltage fare in Raleigh all year. In the field of higher educa tion this General Assembly has already created the fourth cam pus of the University at Char lotte and resolved the NC State name change squabble. It has al so approved the 6th-year masters degree program of graduate training for public school super visory personnel at East Caro lina, Western Carolina, North Carolina College, and Appala chian State, after rejecting a po tentially broader proposal along the same lines. Revision of the speaker ban law affecting all State-supported campuses, a dor mant legislative issue for most of the session, has been stirred by the recent threat of loss of accreditation and Federal funds; prospects of amendment or re peal appear to have been lessen ed by today’s announcement con cerning the early adjournment target date of June 12th. A num ber of separate appropriations proposals for State • supported I to North Carolina • • r a glass of beer means many things To the nation, the name Pinehurst means an ideal winter resort—golfing under warm southern skies .., lawn bowling, horse shows, the steeplechase, polo or skect. And—to North Carolinians it means so much more ... it means civic pride in their state’s beauty, genuine southern hospitality and expanding economy. So, too, a glass of beer means many things to Tar Hi —it has meant some 90 million dollan. the North Carolina tax economy during the past 26 years. This symbol of light, bright refreshment means relaxed comfort after a day’s activities in this famous southern resort. NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION UNfteD STATES BREWERS ASSOCIATION. INC. colleges are now being consider ed by the Appropriations Com mittees, including the much pub licized East Carolina 2-year med ical school funding. Other pend- j ing money bills involve Gaston. I Wilmington, itUizabeth City, East Carolina and West(?rn Carolina Colleges. Of ouiurse the general appropriations bill significantly affects all of the State-support ed institutions. Suggestions for a higher education capital im provements bond issue, often in the news this session, have nev er materialized in the absence of gubernatorial support. Higher education has seen its share of reorganization meas ures. Now pending in committee are bills to abolish the State Board of Higher Education or, in the alternative (and with the Governor’.? support), to enlarge the Board’s membership and re strict its budget review power over the State-supported colleges. The methed ntf selecting UNC trustees is undergoing thorough scrutiny by this General Assem bly. In selecting this year’s trus tee crop, the Assembly modified its traditional practices to the ex tent of committing the function of recommending nominees to sub committees of the House and Senate Coxmittees on University Trustees. More fundamental mod ifications am under considera tion, including a bill introduced this week (SR 476 - HR 999, by Sen. Currie and Rep. Green) to create a study commission on trustee selection, an idea earlier broached in Governor Moore’s legislative message. Another till is in the mill to provide for nom ination of two trustees jointly by the Senators and House mem bers from the various Senate dis tricts. and to add as ex officio trustees the chairmen of the As- , sembly’s money committees and the two legislative presiding of ficers. Today a further variant ; was unveil^ in SB 502, intro duced by Sen; Matheson. This , bill would gradually reduce the I membership of the board from 100 to .50, reduce the terms of office from eight to four years beginning in 1971, prohibit mem- i hers of the General Assembly or their spouses from serving as trustees, require a minimum of five trustees to be of the fair sex, and nrovide for appiointment of one-ififlh of the trustees by the Governor. The field of public education is is dominated this session by Gov ernor Moore’s program propos als to increase teacher salaries, reduce school class sizes, increase guidance and remedial teachers, ; restore the teacher continuing ■ c-ontract, re.move certain book I fees and strengthen the school ) lunch program. Of thMe, only I the plan to cut class sizes in I grades one to three has received I legislative sanction thusfar. Most of the other Moore-backed meas ures, including the key pay-raise ! item, are still before the -Appro- , priations Committee, i One of this session’s principal ! school enactments is a law dc- I signed to dapt the State’s school administrative structure to the Federal aid-to-edueation bill, its major thrust being to authorize counties to operate as a single school district in place of the present system of district school committees operating under a county board of education.

C. ; appointments bill, a law to make driver training courses manda tory in public high schools, and enabling laws for experimental programs of teacher training in Watauga County and of child development in Chapel Hill in cooperation with Appalachian State and UNC, respectively. A- mong the pending proposals are bills to restore the teacher con tinuing contract, to repeal the 1963 "Humber Act’’ (which pro vides for State support oif muni cipal school bussing), to require safety belts for school bus driv ers, and to authorize a pilot pro gram of public school kindergar tens. The 1963 legislative session saw enactment of a complete statu tory charter for our system of community colleges, industrial education centers and technical institutes. The current session is witnessing efforts to enlarge and consolidate these new programs. Bills have been introduced to au thorize now lEC’s in Onslow and Craven Counties, and a new ’ll in Duplin. Other pending propos als would clarify the authority of counties to support institutions converted from lECs to ’TI’s, would make the creation of new institutions in all three categor ies subject to prior approval of the Governor and Advisory Bud get Commission. Other A trie of profiosals was launch ed this week which would affect the wiorkings o-f the General As sembly. Oi Tuesday Rep.

Today Rep. David I Britt introduced a bill to -create I a Legislative Research Commis- I Sion to conduct legislative studies and manage records, supplies I and equipment in the Legislative Building between legislative ses sions. The week saw ratilication of the last of a parade of five fire men’s bills which were sponsor ed by Rep. Burden and warmly supported by the North Carolina State Firemen’s Association most significantly, HB 3-12 which authori7.es county commissioners to adopt fire prevention codes affecting territory outside of city limits. Other laws in the pack age would simplifti expansion of fire districts and stiengthcn the powers of firemen in performing firefighting functions.

The casualty I toll of bills that died on the-floor included fall primary elections proposal (SB 93), the chiroprac tic amendments (UB 510), and the bill to revise existing re quirements for architectural ser vices in preparing building plans (HB 863). Mortal blows were dealt to 11 bills by unfavorable committee reports. Prominent on the list were the billboard con trol law (HB 757), safe driver license renewals (SB 148', and the proposal to make parole roc- l ords privileged (HB 811).
