1. The first pertains to the policy governing the admission of out-of-state students. The presemt policy provides that "the number of entering undergraduate students that may be admitted to any campus of the University from outside the state in any semester is limited to 15 percent of the undergraduate students admitted to that campus during the semester." The policy provides that certain categories of non-resident students are exempt from this quota limitation, it being understood, however, that they are required to pay the regular out-of-state tuition. Among the categories exempt from the quota limitation are: (a) applicants whose place of birth was North Carolina; (b) sons and daughters of persons born in North Carolina. The President recommended that these two categories of exemptions from quota be discontinued. Your Committee makes that recommendation. Chancellor Aycock estimates that the effect of this, with the necessary limitation upon overall enrollment at Chapel Hill next year, would be to admit approximately 260 additional North Carolina residents to that campus. Those who fall within the categories mentioned would still be eligible to be admitted; but they would have to be counted as coming within the quota restriction.

It is not contemplated by this recommendation to exclude sons and daughters of alumni of the University or other categories currently and justifiably exempt from the quota limitation. Moreover, we do not recommend any alteration in the 15 percent out-of-state quota which was unanimously re-affirmed by the Board of Trustees at its meeting on February 26, 1962.

2. The second recommendation which your Committee makes pertains to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. You will recall that on January 25, 2963, the Board of Trustees approved the recommendation of a special committee under the chairmanship of Mr. Thomas J. Pearsall that the campuses of all three units of the University be authorized to admit men and women at all levels. So far as this recommendation affected the admission of undergraduate men to the Greensboro campus, it was to become effective in the fall semester of 1964. We now recommend, in the light of enrollment developments this fall at Greensboro campus, and the compelling need for opening the doors to qualified students at the earliest practicable date, that the effective date of this recommendation be changed in order to make it applicable at the beginning of summer school in 1964.

"Mr. Chairman, I believe that it would be appropriate to move adoption of the two recommendations separately; accordingly, I move first: That the policy governing the admission of out-of-state students to the University be modified so that (a) applicants whose place of birth was North Carolina, and (b) sons and daughters of persons born in North Carolina, be counted within the 15 percent quota."

The motion was duly seconded and the recommendation was unanimously approved.

"Secondly, I move that the effective date for admitting undergraduate men to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro be changed from the fall semester of 1964 (as authorized by this Board on January 25, 1963) to the summer session, 1964.

This motion was also duly seconded and the recommendation was approved by unanimous vote.
