National Conference To Save
Black Schools To Be Held
Larry Hinton
Fourth Annual Urban
Affairs Confab State
By Delores Mitchell
A&T will witness the
fourth annual Urban Affairs
Conference to be held here
on April 12. The present
theme is "Bridging the
Gap." However, a new one
is in the making for this
session of the conference.
According to James
Johnson, co-chairman of the
conference, this session is
destined to be the greatest
ever. One of the main issues
will be a discussion on
revenue sharing. Ways will
be discussed which are
geared toward receiving a
greater share of these funds
to aid the immediate
community. There will also
be workshops on human
relations and in the area of
communications.
Workshops will be
continued in transportation,
social service, housing, and
model cities. There will be
trained personnel to instruct
each workshop.
The Urban Affairs
Conference entails many
areas of interest to all
persons involved. It invites
students, faculty, and
community to attend. It is
an educational experience
for students and it also
serves     to    bring    the
university and the
community closer together
in order to solve the

Schools Convention This

Goode   Sees No Change
In Student Courts
By Aurelia Curley
Will there be any changes
made in the student courts?
Col. William Goode, Vice
Chancellor of Student
Affairs, answered, "There
will be no change made in
the student court until the
Student Legislature is
elected and advises the
student court of a change in
the judiciary procedure."
Col. Goode further stated
that there had been no
students elected to the
legislature to his knowledge.
The student legislature is
composed of thirty-four
members, who are elected at
a single annual election held
in the spring of the school
year to serve for one
academic year. Its job is to
make the laws for the
courts.
The attorney general
whose job is to prosecute
offenders   enacts   the   new
laws for the courts. In order
for the Attorney General to
fulfill his job, he is to assist
and represent the President
in  the performance  of his
duties    as    the    President
directs. He is to investigate,
gather    evidence    and
prosecute any offenders of
aie   Student   Constitution.
He is   to   meet   with   the
University   Tribunal.   He is
given cases by Col. Goode
to be tried in the student
court.  Col. Goode receives
all   charges   made   by   the
staff, faculty and students.
The     attorney    general
reports  to Col. Goode the
action  taken on the cases.
"In     this     category,"
Commented   Col.   Goode  ,
"the   attorney   general   has
not fulfilled his job." Col.
Goode concluded by saying
"There is not enough time
for    the   judiciary   system
adopted by the students to
work successfully. It would
take a full-time staff."
Blacks. Also this convention
hopes to help Blacks
maintain their identity.
Twelve schools were
represented at this steering
committee meeting. This
number included Bennett
College, Howard University,
Arkansas A & M.
Washington Tech, Claflin.
College, South Carolina
State, Virginia State.
Spellman and Souther:
University.
As Hinton recalled, they
were definitely against A&T
as the site for the national
convention. Hinton stated,
'I had to fight like a demon
to get that Convention
here.'
He went to South
Carolina with a definite
program and format. Hinton
said that he persuaded them
that A&T had something
very valuable to offer and
that the student body
would support the
convention.
During that weekend,

High Tuition Costs
Force Students Out
By Constance Johnson
Tuition increases    ?
Financial difficulties?
Sickness? Health?
Boredom? These and any
other number of reasons
aX>uld be the circumstances
surrounding an apparent loss
of out-of-state Aggies,
stated Mrs. G. C. Bullock of
the Registrar's Office.
Although statistical
information is not available
or a definite reason
pinpointed as to why an
increasing number of
out-of-state students never
return, the obvious reason
seems to be the ever
increasing tuition rates.
Out-of-state students for the
1972.-73 school term are
faced with total charges of
$1,418.75, whereas N.C.
residents pay only $644.25
per semester.
The in-state, out-of-state
status is determined at the
time of initial application
and acceptance of the
student. "The student who
graduates from an
out-of-state high school is
automatically presumed an
out-of-state-student,'
stated W. H. Gamble,
director of admissions.
In order to change the
resident status, the student
must    present    written
proof: employment records,
tax returns and _the_official
data for a 12-month period
for the state of N.C.
For 18 year olds, who
are considered adults,
in-state status can be
obtained only if the student
remains out of school for a
one-year period in order to
establish residency. Thus
this student cannot be
claimed on any other
person's tax forms, thereby
declaring himself totally
independent.
As for married students,
the female can obtain
residency if her spouse is a
North Carolina native, but
this does not apply for
out-of-state males who
marry North Carolina
residents.
Recent controversy over
out-of-state in-state status
has brought about the
introduction of a new bill in
the Senate by Senator
Bobby Barker,
Democrat-Wake County
making it easier for new
residents of North Carolina
to qualify for in-state
i tuition rates in public
universities. As to another
increase in tuition, Gamble
foresees none, in that
tuition control is no longer
controlled by Campus
authority but rather by the
State  Board of Governors.
