firmed that Secretary Of Agri-

Inspiration For Others
The WinstOn-Salem Journal

Chapel Hill has retained the charm
and the appearance of the village in the
process OF becoming. a fair sized town.
It's not by accident. A great deal of the
towns concern is for its appearance.
Much of the towns charm is the re-
suit of requirement that new buildings
and remOdeled ones use colonial archi-
lecture. That causes town and campus
to blend somewhat even though the UNC
campus contains a variety of architectu-
raj styles, To back up the architectural
requirement, the town recently passed an
ordinance regulating size and overhang
of signs and awnings. The purpose was
to prevent gaudy clutter from distract
ing from the overall appearance Of the
town.
But now the towns concern for aes-
theticism has endangered its technical
progress. Duke Power Company has
dropped a project that would have sent
a big electrical transmission line, provid-
liiS oIi CliiCl SCllSy SOuI &C VI pOWCI,
through the wooded valley of Morgan
Creek. The decision was the result of
pressure from the town, which argued
that the line and its towers would have
SCARED beautiful valley needed for fu-
ture residential development. We hope
that Chapel Hill can find an alternate
way Of bringing in the necessary power
without marring the beauty of the area,
but sometimes necessity demands that
a utility pole be planted in beautiful
lawn. Still, Chape9Hill's traditional bat
tie for beauty should be an inspiration
for downtown development committees
and planning groups in towns and cities
across the state.
After all, what's good for Chapel Hill
is good for the state. Many taxpayers,
who support the towns chief industry
the University of North Carolina - feel
they have some claim to the town just
as they do to the states capital city.
At any rate visit to Chapel Hill is
made more enjoyable by the fact that
its citizens have found way to blend
business and beauty.

UNC Budget Picture: Colden-Almost

While the Advisory Budget Commission
approved the new mems dormitory and
the student center, it recommended that
they be financed entirely by elf-liquidat-
ing bonds. This means that the entire
cost would be passed directly to the stu
dents in increased charges This sort
of financing would increase the cost to
every resident Of the new dormitory by
thirty dollars a year. Every student in
the University would have to pay thir-
teen dollars more year to finance the
new student center.
President Friday and other Univers-
-ity officials will appeal to the LegiSla-
lures Joint Appropriations Committee
for a direct State appropriation for at
least half of the cost of the new dormi-
tory and for State appropriation to coy
er all Of the costs of the student center.
Unless some State participation in these
two projects is forthcoming there might
net be a new dormitory and new student
center.
"One thing we must guard against"
President Friday said, 'is the ability to
pay becoming a condition of admission
to the University"
Unfortunately, the ability to pay al
ready is a condition of admission to
many high school graduates and adding
fOrty-three dollars to a students annual
tab, or even thirteen dollars, will put
education at Chapel Hill just that much
farther out of reach.
State approval is necessary, but ap-
proval alone is hardly enough. If the
State can't afford to build a dormitory
and student union here, that's no reason
for the Advisory Budget Commission to
conclude that the students can.
The Chapel Hill weekly., 1963-02-10

The University's stock with the 1863
Legislature began to look like solid gold
last week. In most categories, the Uni
verSity's requests for the next biennium
have been recommended almost dollar
for-dolar by the Advisory Budget Com
mission.
The record salary increase recon-
mended by the Budget Commission, along
with the quarter of a million dollars
recommended for library books, should
be cause for rejoicing on the Chapel Hill
campus. The salary increase will go a
long way toward raising the University
to a competitive level with other state
supported institutions, making it some
what easier to recruit and to hold faculty
members The salary increase and addi-
tional money for library books had top
priority in the UniverSity's requests, and
the Favorable recommendation represents
considerable achievement.
The University at Chapel Hill also
Jared we'll in capital improvements re-
commended by the Budget Commission.
Projects approved include an under
graduate library and student center,
renovations of Phillips and Davie Halls
and an addition to Wilson Hall, a new one
thousand-seat cafeteria, multi-purpose
auditorium addition to Woolen Gym,
air-conditioning of Wilson Library, new
923-man dormitory, new facilities in the
Division of Health Affairs, and a new
boiler and steam lines to increase the
Universitys heating capacity. The only
requested project that was disapproved
was a new law building.
There are some strings attached to the
capital improvements projects, however.

partisans in the Legislature will
feel left out with all this name
changing going on and will come
up with one of their own like, say:
"The Original University of North
Carolina, Formerly at Chapel
Hill, But Presently in a State of
F'luX!" .,...----.
Seriously, l never did quite get
the gist of this Consolidated Uni
versity business. Back in 1881,
when they decided to consolidate,
l kind of got the idea that one
of the main Objectives was to
eliminate the duplication of cur
riculums at the three branches.
like Woman's College would teach
the home. economics and leave the
agriculture to State College; and
UNC would grant all the liberal
arts degrees, and all the masters
and doctors degrees in both the
arts and sciences, except fer en-
glneering, textiles, forestry and
agriculture; while State would
land did take over the engineer
ing school from Chapel Hill, etc.
A sort of consolidation through
diversity, if indeed such could
actually be accomplished.
But in the intervening 9O-odd
years the trend has been toward
the complete university curricu-
lum for each branch of the Uni,
versity, which would seem to be
the only way real consolidation
can be accomplished. If this is
the ultimate aim, then perhaps
this would be- an advantageous
time to return engineering and
to add forestry to the curriculum
at Chapel Hill, as a balance for
the proposed new liberal arts pro-
gram at Raleigh, so that degrees
in all the arts and sciences could
be earned at both branches. with
the exception Of agriculture and
textiles, which would be left at
Raleigh, and medicine, which
would remain at Chapel Hill.
For, if liberal arts degrees are
necessary for true university stat
us at Raleigh las is contended by
the trustees), is not engineering.
then, just as vital to true univer-
sity status at Chapel Hill? This
is a question which should be of
vital interest to all legislators.
trustees and educators who favor
the one-university plan.
So the die is cast, and the
single-university concept is set
to become a reality instead of
Just a name. The more this Leg.
islature does about it the sooner
it will be accomplished, for the
betterment of higher education
throughout the whole State.
But please, Messrs. Legislators.
don't hang that long handled
name on State College. II might
be too big a name for even a
new university-status institution
to wear with any comfort at all.

Planning Sauce For The Cander. Too

There seems to be a good bit of unan-
unity in the village about power trans
mission lines now that the one which
came closest to disfiguring the face OF
Chapel Hill has been laid to rest. Neces-
sary monsters that they are, nobody
wants them strung across the face of
Chapel Hill The view appears to hold
for the tradeSman with five-ro0m bun
galoW equally as for the professor or the
country gentleman who places premium
on his view or cOnceiveS a better use for
his acreage.
Whether or not this be true, the Plan
ming board in its discussion of an amend
ment to the zoning ordinance that would
bring powerline placement and construc-
ton under municipal control has wisely
assumed the position that every citizen
to whom the law applies is entitled to
the protection of the ordinance regard
less of where he lives or in what state of
grandeur.
Among the early proposals for law
that would prevent construction of the
Morgan Creek poWerine was one which
would, in effect, have laid the entire
northwestern portion of the Planning
Area open to transmission line construc-
tion, assuming that there was additional
need for power in Chapel Hill and that
a public utility sought such an instala-
tion. The remainder of the Planning
Area would have been protected by re-
quirement that transmission lines be
placed underground The reasoning be-
hind the proposal was that a transmits
sion line was already in place in the west,
and that the bulk of local industry was
already located there; future growth
patterns too, seemed to indicate that new
industry would naturally gravitate to the
area. Logic, insofar as it applies here,
supports the. proposal. But logic is not
the sole concern here. However blemish-
ed any portion of Chapel Hill may be, it
is a matter of principle and one of public
trust to apply any protective ordinance
equally to tenement as well as to pristine
woodland
The Planning Board has taken
praiseworthy tack in its attempt to deal
with one manifestation of the blight
which often seems to go hand in hand
with chronological improvement. BY as
serting that laws as we'll as their appli-
cation be non-dscriminatory the Plan
ners should have bolstered the faith of

Each hundred miles was filled
with people and small streets and
interesting homes and schools and
stores and excitement. At least
twice a year we took this tour
which in its early stages swept
past Newark Airport, through the
heart of Elizabeth on crowded,
noisy Route 1, and through the
parks of Philadelphia when not
on its trolley-filled streets.
Baltimore was a maze for our
car to negotiate but we grew to
know streets and sections and
landmarks for without fail we
would be stalled in traffic tieups
in that city's Times Square.
In Washington one evening. it
is not difficult to recall, we ask
ed directions of a taxi driver,
native of Greece, who told us in
broken English how to escape the
circular streets. He would not
desist from being helpful, even
after ten minutes, and as we
drove off slowly in an effort to
curtail the flow of undecipherable
directions. he ran alongside with
further Qualification. 1t was
laughter and tears for us while
we all differed on versions of
what he had told us.
All of these things were time
consuming but so much a part

And there were the times we
