A move of far reaching significance for Moss Points Main Street
was completed last Saturday. Our bank has purchased the
large two-story frame building, which occupies the property
adjacent to and north of our present Moss Point office. This
old building, while 1t might be considered a landmark of other

are to remove the building from the premises and then embel-

case may be, on said tutelage." "
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West contends this section of the
code has no effect now. He said
the 1948 Appropriation Act spe-
cifically provided that no part of
the Districts appropriation be
spent for the education of non
resident students and that this
nullif1ed the earlier section Of the
code.
Credited in Previous Years.
Mr.. Eisenberg, owner Of the Dis
trict Grocery Store at 1701 Kenil-
worth avenue, Prince Georges
County, said his daughter had
attended the Kenilworth Elemen-
tary School for five years and
that this is her third year at Eliot.
In previous years, he has received
credit on the tuition charge be-
cause of the real estate taxes he
pays on his District property, he
said.
The fight over payment of tu-
ition by nonresident students here
has been going on for years. Ex-
emptions to the law requiring pay
ment of tuition were in effect until
July, 1947, when Congress tried to
settle the matter in the 1947 Ap-
preparation Act by requiring all
nonresidents to pay.

Board Gives Detailed
Reply to Criticisms
Of Baltimore Sun
By james 6. Deone
Star Stoff Coryespondent

BALTIMORE, Feb. 19.-The full
weight of the University of Mary
land governing board today was
behind President H. c. Byrd in
his bitter dispute over administra-
tive policies with the Baltimore
Sun.
BY unanimous action the H.
member board of regents yester-
day made public a detailed reply
to 10 questions submitted 'by The
Sun. which recently published a
series of articles criticizing the
university:
Defended by the regents were:
A $19,000,000 building pro-
gram-construction was described
as "far behind" present academic
and research needs. The Sun
charged that new building. partic-
ularly at College Park, is being
pushed at the expense of academic
standards.
A $3.755,000 expansion program
for the university's Negro branch
at Princess Ann, on the Eastern
Shore-the regents said this is
necessary 80 that the just de-
mands Of the Negro people for
equal educational needs can be
met satisfactorily" The regents
denied the expansion is intended
to persuade the court that Ne
groes need not be accepted at
College Park"
Call Standards High.
Academic standards in the Col
lege Of Arts and Sciences and the
Engineering College-The regents
declared, Academic standards in
the College of Arts and Sciences
do not lag and are not lower
than the standards in the College
of Agriculture" as charged by The
Sun. Regarding engineering, they
said that advanced studies will
increase greatly when new facil-
tiles become available next fall.
Enlargement of the student body
the Sun asked. do the regents
believe instruction can be at a high
level as long as the student body
is subject to uncontrolled expan-
sion, with the resultant overcrowd-
ing and swollen classes; have they
ever considered stabilizing the stu
dent body, either by imposing
limit on out-of- State admissions,
or by raising the qualifications for
entrance ?"
The board denied classes are
and said it believes
that it should put forth every ef-.
fort to educate just as many Of
the young men and women of the
State as it can obtain facili-
ties for" No attempt to limit ad-
missions could be justified, 1t was
said.
Costs Compared.
Operating costs as compared
with other State universities
Some of the comparisons made
in the series of stories that The
Sun recently ran were er-
roneous =" said the board. It
cited comparative figures to dis
pute the charge that the univer-
sity spends more than others of
similar size. a'}fs l@H

ishing touches on the proposed

Commissioners proposals for levy
ing an additional $3,10OOOO a

Emphasis on the College of
Agriculture -" agriculture is so
basic to the economy of the State
that, if the university did not

be real cause for criticism, -

parable institutions" adding:
"The State, should feel gratifled
that the university has a staff of
such competent men that other

ment of the student body and the

IF the State Legislature and
other State authorities wish to
the principles of segre-
cation now enforced in the Mary

they will provide for the univer-
sity the funds needed to build up
