Student Fees To Increase;
An increase of $45 in room rent for all students and an in-crease
of $140 in out-of-state tuition will be made in fees at
W. C. for the year 1955-56. This will become effective in the
fall if the Trustees approve the increase, announces Mr. John
C. Lockhart, Assistant Controller and Business Manager.
This Increase was p«rt of the
recommendation of the Advisory
Budget Commission, recently ap-proved
by the state legislature.
Legislature restored $5000 of the
recommended 110,000 cut In libra-ry
appropriations, and granted an
additional $7200 for the addition of
a fauclty member to the Home
Economics staff.
The Advisory Budget Commission
had proposed in January a reduc-tion
of $10,000 In the money for
purchasing library books. This
$5000 restoraUon By the legislature
now brings the total budget allocs
Uon for books to $20,000, $5000
less than the amount appropriated
in the last biennium.
Legislature approved without
changes the other W. C. budget
recommendations of the commis-sion.
These recommendations in-clude
a reduction of $22,872 in ap-propriations
for building repairs,
and a proposal of $2,161,946 for
salaries and wages.
Consolidated University Educa-tional
Television Station WUNC-TV
was granted one-half of the
money it asked for.

Students Evaluate Faculty
In Third Campus Survey
The third student initiated fac-ulty
evaluation at Woman's College
will be conducted Monday, May
16, through the cooperaUon of the
house presidents, the president
and the vice-president of student
government.
The need for the faculty evalua-tion
was first introduced in Legis-lature
in the fall of 1950. but was
not approved unUl February of
1951. At that time a committee
was appointed by Legislature to
investigate the project. The fol-lowing
fall, at the suggestion of
Chancellor Graham, the program
became the Joint project of the
faculty and legislature. After re-ceiving
a grant of $2500 from the
Alumnae Association in the sum-mer
of 1952. this committee adopt-ed
a faculty evaluation question-naire,
with slight modifications
used by Brooklyn College and em-ployed
the services of the Insti-tute
for Research In the Social
Sciences In Chapel Hill.
Three-Part Questionnaire
The questionnaire is divided into
three sections. Part one Includes
questions on the student's back-ground,
part two the student's at-titudes
toward education, and part
three the actual evaluation. Facul-ty
members are Identified on the
rating sheets by code numbers.
When the questiannalres are
completed by each student, they
are sent to Chapel H1U for sta-tistical
analysis: the individual av-erage
ratings are sent to the Indi-vidual
Instructors: and compiled
ratings are returned to depart-

Michael Casey Announces Requirements
For Liberal Arts Major In Dramatics
It Is now possible for a Woman's

The drama curriculum has been
recognized as a separate depart-ment
This major Is primarily designed

it can be aimed in that direction.
The three areas offered are pro-duction,
acting and directing, and
writing. There will also be an elec-tive
course for teaching entlUed
"Theatre for School and Commun-ity."
Requirements for the major In-clude
25 hours above grade I. plus
Drama 101. "Introduction to the
Theatre," and Drama 150, a one-hour-
course enUtled "Students'
