It found little or no evidence that mariyuana can kill, cause addiction, brain damage or birth defects, or lead to crime, violence or necessarliy to more powerful drugs But it did find that long-term, daily use of marijuana by adolescents sometimes contributes to a general lack of motivation, concluded that anyone driving under the influence of marijuana is a senous threat to public safety and said that heavy daily use over a number of years may cause some damage to the heart and lungs. “In general, we decriminalization of possession of marijuana for personal use on both the state and federal levels,” the commission said. Specivicatly, it recommended recommend, only a Tuition to be $1,800 in '72 Taxpayers won’t foot bill By SHERRY BUCHANAN Staft weiter Editor's Note: The following is part II in a three pert series concerning the current r 22 in tuition for out-of state students attend: ing state-supported universities. North Carolina taxpayers don’t mind paying 75 per cent of the bill to college residents of the state. But when it comes to educating out-of-state students, it seems like the North Carolina taxpayer is tired of footing the bill. ‘At least that’s what one interpretation that could be given to action taken by the General assembly last year which raised out-of-state student tuition at state supported schools and caused havoc in varying degrees at various universities including ECU. In-state tuition has not changed at all within the past few years, only fee changes have been made However, out-of-state tuition has increased as a direct result of legislation passed by the General assembly. House Bill 1087, passed on July 13, 1971. in non-resident the academic made a mandatory increase tuition to $18,000 for year beginning September 1972. The 1971 academic year, tuition had to be $1,300.00 for out-of-state students. The increase in out-of-state tuition has caused controversy and conflicting viewpoints “I have no idea why the legislature passed the bill,” said Moore, ECU's business manager, “ but my speculation would be that for every ‘one student that goes out of North Carolina for education, we have three that come in. And the North Carolina taxpayer is paying for their education.’ Moore had these statistics in the defense of the North Carolina taxpayer Each North Carolinian pays about $1,298 towards the average ECU student's education Those withscholarships and special students are excluded. This is approximately 72.8 percent of the total money for the student to pay. Each student’s educational costs about $1,795 per year, of which he pays about $447 or 249 the simple reason of long hair.

The General Assemblys law even begins its statements with the idea that the tuition hike will let out-of-state students pay for their own education. “We don’t know why the legislature passed this tuition hike,” said Dr. John Horne, PCU's Dean of Admissions. “but it’s law now and I go by the laws.” These new laws have caused quite a number of problems for Horne because of estimates he must make for enrollment in following years. “Any statistics | could give you now, on how many out-of-state students | think we'll lose, or how many we'll have next year, will be only speculation on my part,” he said “1 feel like the major loss will come from the incoming freshmen and this year’s freshmen,” he added, “because seniors, juniors and most sophomores will probably trv and stick it out financially” (Continued on page 3) ” (Photo by Ross Mann) JACK BRUCE WAILED on his bass Monday night in Minges Coliseum.

The opinions expressed by this newspaper are not necessarily those of East Carolina University. 30 The Forum that they forced the restructuring to take place One such example is ECU's paltry library as compared to the libraries at schools such as UNC-CH, UNC-.G and NC State. Instead of the state giving a school such as ECU a new or even improved library they've given Chapel Hill enough money to build a library containing well over two miilion volumes. NC State recently completed a new high rise library and UNC-G is starting an addition to their present library Another example of the unfair allocation of funds is that a school outside the consolidated university system that has a better school or department doesn’t get doctorate programs in that field. Fast Carolina's schools of Art, Music, and Business and departments of History and Drama are all known and rated nationally and onsidered by most people to be the best in the state-vet ECU doesn't offer one doctorate fact that we have been treated as an institut inferior quality is also evident in last neident when ECU asked for funds ! 1] school.

Climb, Enjoy, it’s Spring Springly yours, Jesse and Rick Cites discrepancies To Fountainhead * and the truth shall make you free.’ But let’s tell the whole truth,huh? In the article ‘Fraternity Socialization is Dying” in the March 21 issue of Fountainhead, Miss Webb makes many generalizations and twisted truths that are very slanderous by omission of all but two fraternities on campus. The picture that Miss Webb inadvertently has painted is very beautiful for Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Chi Delta and could have been for, in- my knowledge, at least one more, Delta Sigma Phi, and probably several others, also I am not sure how Miss Webb conducted her research for the article, but | am certain that no Delta Sig was approached and questioned. I seriously question the authenticity present in an article discuissing the fraternity system as 4 whole when only two out of thriteen fraternities were approached Since this article appeared during Spring Rush, | feel compelled to tell the whole truth This letter in not intended to slight above mentioned fraternities; it is only to clear our name Dean Mallory said that “priorities should be set, putting scholarship, service and brotherhood above the social aspect.” In the article no mention was made of the fact that one fraternity on this campus has done this since its conception. Delta Sigma Phi has had the highest scholastic average of any social fraternity on this campus for fourteen quarters running. This goes back to our beginnings as a colony, We stress brotherhood and offer brotherhood to our pledges and rushees. We remember, however, that there is a difference between a social and an honorary fraternity and having parties. Realizing the high cost of tuition, we have a full and complete social life at approximately one-half the cost of the same activities downtown A major point is made about the Lambda Chi’s being the first to abolish “Hell Week.” This may be true but another truth is that Delta Sigma Phi never has had a hell Week! Along the same lines, hazing is explicitly forbidden by our constitution which, incidentally, is studied in great detail while pledging. “The brotherhood stress individuality in the group.
