To Raise Tuition
|0f Nonresiidents
Regents Urge
Action on Hospital
Churity Coses.
BY Tn. Assesios.d Pres.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 25.-Uni-
versity Of Maryland regents have
voted to raise tuition fees for
out-of-State students and do
something about the growing
number of charity cases receiv-
ing medical care at University
Hospital here.
The Board of Regents yester-
day voted to increase tuition for
non-reSidents of Maryland as
much as 500 a year, beginning
next fall. The exact amount
will be determined at next
months board meeting.
Meanwhile; DR.. Wilson H. FL
kins. new university president,
will make a study on which he
can make specific recommended
tions.
Maryland Ranks 18th.
DR.. Elkins, meeting with the
regents for the first time, told
the board that out of II COL
leges he had checked, Mary
lands tuition for out-of skaters
ranked 18th. Maryland charges
$3.50, he said, while the average
for the II is $275 a year.
But he warned against an i'm
mediate S100 increase. DR..
Elkins said too great an in
crease might sharply curtail the
number of nonresident stu
dents. This could prove serious,
he said, because the dormitories
must be kept full in order to
pay of outstanding bonds.
Finance Director Charles l..
Benton said the university has
about 1000 out-of-State students
at College Park.
The regents suggested their
University Hospital Committee
confer with Gov. McKeldin and
other officials about the increas-
ing financial deficit of the hos
pital.
Heavy Burden Cited.
They agreed the hospital is
being forced to shoulder a finan-
cial burden, in treating needy
patients, that should be handled
by city and county welfare de-
partments.
Hospital Director George H.
Buck said the hospital provided
81, ,479,000 in free service in fiscal
1854 $250,00O increase over
1853 and a $3.50, 900 increase over
1852. In fiscal 1854, the hospital
had an operating deficit of
$126,0O0.
The univerSity's scholarship
program also came under scru-
tiny of the regents. DR.. Elkins
said the program must be
studied with asvieW to increasing
the number Of scholarships for
non-athletes.
He made it clear that he does
not think the number of atk-
letic scholarships should be re-
duced. But he said the proper
proportion of athletic scholar
ships to non-athletic scholar
ships is one of the university's
big problems.
Non-Athletic Scholarships.
Out of Sc scholarships the uni
versity is authorized to award,
he said, only IL are non-ath-
letic.
= The board est October 20 as
the date for receiving bids on
$2,350,000 in bonds to finance
three new dormitories.
It also agreed to study the
possibility of establishing a new
Reserve Officers Training Corp

ably an Army unit. At present

The laboratory also reports
that the vaccine may be given

cost is such that it will be
economical for a cattleman to
vaccinate his whole herd.
A few years ago an outbreak
of rabies among foxes in nearby
Virginia caused extensive losses
to farmers. The laboratory said
that more than 1000 cases of
rabies in cattle were reported
throughout the Nation last year.

Shortage Of japanese Beetles Moy Result

A little patch Of smart weed

tacks of the japanese beetle.
The peaches, the apples and
the roses are unusually free, and
the garden has had hardly a

The question is whether the
beetles are on the decline. or
whether the droughts Of the last
two years have reduced beetle
numbers.

too hard for the beetles to
emerge.
He recalled that the drought
last summer began soon after
the first beetles emerged, and
by the time the bugs were ready
to go back into the ground to
lay their eggs. most Of the fields
were dry and hard.
This year the drought began
early in the spring, or rather
continued from last fall, and the
ground was pretty hard In June
when the beetles normally
emerge.
Mr.. Allen posed this question:
IF the drought has materially
reduced the Japanese beetles,

area than two years Of normal

Evergreen Borberries
OF the evergreen barberries,

most commonly planted in this
area. It is also one Of the hardi-
est of the evergreen species, is q
strong grower Ito 10 feet), but
may be kept pruned to any
height desired. The fruits, blu.
ish-black, are not particularly
noticeable, but the yellowish
blossoms do make more of o
showing than those Of the Jap
anese barberry. The Juliana
manned for Princess Juliarla) !,
is ordinarily grown as hedge
plant. The hybrid between the
Japanese and the Juliana,
known as Mentorensis, has q
more compact upright growth
and trimming Is probably less
work. The hybrid Is known as
True-Hedge Columnberry. and is
a patented plant.
The Warty barberry (B. ver-
ruculosa) is an evergreen that
deserves wider use. While the
name Is hardly conducive to
creating an interest, the COM
pact slow-growing bushes are
very attractive. The small glossy
green leaves are whitish be-
meath, and assume q lovely
bronze color in the winter. The
golden yellow flowers are not
particularly snowy and the blu
ish-black fruits are fairly well
hidden under the small leaves.
However, the growth habit,
which somewhat resembles the
billowing curves of lockwood,
makes it Of real garden interest.
Other Unusual Types
The barberries described have
been Of interest here, but there
are others for the gardener seek
ing the unusual. The Threespine
barberry (B. tricanthophora) is
q low-growing evergreen with
narrow leaves which are well
armed with spines. The foliage
is attractive and the spreading
habit of growth makes it useful
as q low evergreen shrub, par
ticularly where it is desired to
keep passersby out of the shrub
berry.
The Box barberry (B. buxi-
folia), a Chilean species, is hardy
in this area, but it is another
tall grower. However. there are
two dwarf varieties, mana and
pygmaea. Unfortunately this
species and it's varieties are not
readily available in this area
it could be classed as q collectors
item. The same may be said |
for several of the other useful !
species-approximately ITS listed |
in the botanical books-most of |
them not hardy here.
In areas where the wheat rust |
Is not a problem and where the
climate is mild, the barberries
receive much wider attention.
The great variation in color and |
size of fruits gives them consid-
cradle winter landscape value.
However. the species and varie-
ties mentioned can fill many
needs effectively -

The barberries are one Of the
really useful plant groups, al
though we are limited to the
hardest ones, and those immune
to wheat rust. Some have con-
spicuous flowers as well as fruits.
The commonly planted Japanese
barberry is deciduous. and there
are several others which shed
their leaves In the late fall. A
number Of evergreen barberries
are just as useful and provide
year around foliage.
Practically all barberries are
tolerant of soil and moisture
conditions, untroubled by dis
ease or insect pests. The excep-
ton is the common japanese
variety, which may be troubled
by Verticillium wilt and bac-
terial leaf spot.
