N. C. UNI VERSIT Y MAY RESTRICT OUT OF STATERS University Authorities Meet to Discuss the limitation of Outsiders SCHOOL IS OVER CROWDED Theory That Everyone Should Receive College Education Subject of Talks (The N. C. Tar Heel) At the meeting of the executive com mittee of the board of trustees of the University Tuesday the question arose of the advisibility of restricting the num ber of out-of-state students to be ad mitte here. It was pointed out by Presi dent Chase that 392, or 15 per cent, of the total of 2,746 students registered in the' University are from other states. South Carolina stands first in representa tion here with a total of 87 matriculates, followed by the state of New York with 50. Action on the matter was deferred and President Chase was requestioned to investigate the situation. That this question should arise at an early date has been felt by those con versant with the situation. It is at once recognized that the Uni versity if fast becoming overcrowded, that its physical plant is being too heavi ly taxed by an ever increasing student body. In view of the limited resouces of the institution and possible means for expansion, it is advisible for the Uni versity to limit its student body to the number that can be accommodated and given thorough instruction. The theory that everyone should receive a college education-regardless of his, or hr, per sonal qualifications and ability ta take such-has about run the full gamut of sentimental and uplifting after-dinner speakers, county superintendents, school rostrum spouters and local politicians. Wise citizens and harassed collee educa tors have come to conclude that only thos who have come to conclude erreda those who have te ability and ambition should go to the expense and labor of seeking a college education. Now if the University is to limit its registration it seems that there are three general methods: (1) set the size of the student body at a definite figure and admit no others after the number has been reached; (2) increase the ex penses by charging higher tuition, room rent, etc.; and (3) raise the standards of requirements for admission as a stu dent in the University. The first solut ion seems inadvisable since this is a state nstitution. As for the second, here WITH OUR P . ING T( Give your Suite or drop by goin roor EVERY TIM] POSSIBI OR PRESSE: Free Bros.

There has been a steady trend towards the third solution offered; yearly the excel cellence of scholastic work is being em phasized with increasing good results. Proceding on the premises that the duty of the University is to educate those capable of being educated, it follows, subsequently that Carolina should raise the standards of entrance requirements and excellence of scholarship. - More should be said concerning the proppsed increbse in expensest Since the out-of-state students are not* tax payers, nor are their parents generally, it is only just that they should pay a high er tuition price to a state-supporter in stitution. The tuition of the student coming from another state or foreign country should be increased to an amount that is conmensurate to the derived ben efits and the expenditures of the state in supporting an institution of higher learning to educate its citizens. To be more clear, the value of the University's instruction and the amount of per capita outlay for each students should be in creased proportional to the cost of tui tion for a student not a resident of the state. If tle University is to limit the size of its student body to that number which can best be served by the institution, then the best method to effect such is by raising the standards of entrance re MONK CLARK Monk is Still ringing them in and his play is one of the pretty parts of Caro lina's basketball work this season.
