FRESHMEN VOTE
TO AID NEGRESS
Funds to Pension Mymie Tuck,
Oldest Citizen, Will Be Col-
lected Each Friday.
The freshman class voted yes
terday to accept the program for
pensioning Chapel Hill's oldest
citizen, Mymie Tuck, colored,
which was presented at the as
sembly hour by the University
Y. M. C. A.
Explaining, that the present
senior class three years ago had
undertaken a similar project,
Harry F. Comer, "Y" secretary,
presented the present program
to the freshmen.
To Canvass with Pails
To raise funds to pay the old
Negress' house rent and supply
her occasionally with money for
food and medicine, a collection
will be taken each Friday at as
sembly hour in various dinner
pails placed in Memorial hall.
Vice-president Wooten called
on Leader Jimmy Coan of the
Freshman Friendship Council
to give his opinion of the pro
ject, Wooten supplemented
Coan's comment with his own
endorsement of the program.
The class voted unanimously
to accept the responsibility.
As Planned:
Under the present arrange
ment the Friendship Council
will collect the money from the
pails each week and see that the
acred colored woman gets her
rent receipt and necessary food.
Coan will appoint a committee
from the council to carry out the
work.
The subject of all the discus
sion, Mymie Tuck, is probably
Chapel Hill's Oldest citizen.
Those who know her say that
she is fast nearing the age of
90 and at present she is unable
to work because of ill health and
feebleness. '
Before the war she was a
slave belonging to Miss Hattie
Cole and since that time she has
spent most of her life in Chapel
Hill. She is a typical member
of the "old timer" group and is
one of the few residents of the
community who has not taken
on any of the "new ways."
Parties Is Oke
Since the age of 12 she has
been a member of the Methodist
church but she believes in par-
!ties and dances. She is violent
ly opposed to women voting or
taking any part in public affairs.

Equal Lowest Average of

President Frank Porter Gra
ham pleaded earnestly and elo
quently, for fair consideration of
the "simple, honest, moderate'
financial requests of the Univer
sity for the coming biennium, in
ah address last night before the
annual general assembly of the
Alumni Association.
These requests, he said,
amount to a 25 per cent increase
over the present appropriation,
actually but a restoration of 17
per cent of the 33 per cent cut
now in effect. , " '

"If we were restored that,"
he said, "we should reach up
to an average level to which the
American states, as a whole,
reached down at the bottom of
the depression."
Declaring that the meeting
last night was not one called to
initiate a drive on or against the
state legislature, he said that its
