Excessive Drinking' Spells Doom. For Sun Carnival Dance
By FRED PORTER
Hurricane Editor
Excessive drinking at campus dances has spelled the death blow for the annual frolic-filled Sun
Carnival.
The festival was slashed from the spring social scene shortly after President Jay F. W. Pearson called for "immediate suspension of Sun Carnival plans” unless “reasonable assurance” could be given the dean of students that
excessive drinking would not prevail.
The Student Body Government cabinet, meeting in a pre-Christmas session, was "the hatchet man” of Sun Carnival.
“This is an order of the administration,” said SBG President Leroy Howe. "I feel the administration has taken a strong outlook.
“We of SBG plan to cooperate
with the administration so that we may jointly work out this problem of excessive alcohol at campus dan ea.
Everyone has been aware that the alcohol problem on this campus is ludicrous. Yet nothing is done about it until it comes to a head.
"We must realize that the University is not an isolated segment of the community which can have drunkard brawls, but that it is an integrated part of the community,”
Howe said.
He said that money appropriated for Sun Carnival will go into a “greatly expanded” Carni-Gras.
In a letter to Howe, Dr. Pearson said, “I do appreciate the fine manner in which you and Student Body Government accepted my memorandum regarding Sun Carnival.”
“I think that the action satisfied the community that none of
us want our student body dances to be anything but the finest possible," Dr. Pearson said.
Howe said the cancellation of Sun Carnival does not mean that future dances will be suspended.
Festive Sun Carnival made its debut in April of 1954 in place of the junior-senior prom. The 1954 dance was a “trial run." Student officials indicated at that time if it were a success, it might become an annual event.

Prices Go Up $10 To $20 In September
By TERRY DRUMMOND
Hurricane Assistant News Editor
Residence hall rates will hit an all-time high in September of 1958.
Beginning with a $6 hike in room prices for the first 1958 summer session, the increase will be carried over to September where rooms will be raised either 10 or 20 dollars.
For a single room with a private bath in Eaton Hall, the rent will increase from 190 to 210 dollars. '
A double room at Eaton Hall and regular dormitory apartments will be raised from 160 to 170 dollars per semester.
San Sebastian rates will be raised from 120 to 130 dollars while Don Carlos rooms will go from 150 to 160 dollars.
There is no increase in rent for married students living in dormitories.
"Because of the eight per cent increase in the cost of living in the index of this area, the cost of operations and salaries at UM has increased and must be met,” said Controller Victor G. Trivett.
“UM cannot raise the residence hall rates without permission of the U. S. Government because of the long range mortgage it holds on the buildings,” Trivett said.
“All money that we charge,” he said, “is directly turned back to the students in the form of improvements and better educational facilities.”
“The raise in tuition was also caused by the rising cost of living and although the cost of living has increased eight per cent, UM dormitories and tuition rates have only been raised six per cent,” concluded Trivett.

Dorm Loan Approved
Final negotiations for a $2,695,000 loan from the Federal Government were completed Wednesday in Atlanta, Ga., between the University and the Housing and Home Finance Administration.
