President Franklin Roosevelt wired
the Daily Tar Heel just before press
time last night to the effect that he
would be unable to attend this great
classic due to a political shake-up at
the nation's capitol. He stated, how
ever, that he would give the duty of
tossing the first -ball over the plate to
his right hand man, Voit Gilmore.
The Chapel Hill high school band
will be on hand to furnish music before
the game and between the innings. A
baton twirling exhibition will be staged
at the beginning of the eighth inning.

Nr Couch of the department of botany
to carry on "further work on "The
Genus Septobasidium," concerning
which Professor Couch issued a book,

as well as scientific significance be

especially the oaks, which have been
threatened by fungus growth due to
the importance of Professor Couch's
book in the field of these studies, the
Boston Society of Natural history has
awarded him its prize. In awarding
this prize the Society stated that it
was given "not only because of the
great novelty and high excellence of
his work, but also in consequence of
its broad character."
Professor Couch has also reached a
distinguished position in the associa

Is Used In Long
Awaited Coed Day
Chapel Hill's spring flowers weather
abated long 'enough for the crowning
of Miss Olive Cruikshank as May pueen
yesterday afternoon. Miss Mollie Al
britton was her maid-of-honor in the
pageant sponsored by Alpha Kappa
Gamma, which had the "Old South
as its theme.
The queen's attendants were : Misses
Jane Hunter, Elizabeth Gammon, Ethel
Laidlaw, Helen Jacobs, Roberta Win
ton, Bernice Brantley, Betty Redfern,
Melville Corbett, Janet Lawrence and
Miriam Durrett.
The scene of the pageant was the
lawn before a colonial home on a -plantation
in the deep South. As the play
opened a child, Little Miss Ruth Young,
was discovered asleep on the steps of
her home. A fairy, Miss Jeanne Bas
night, danced in, was frightened and
ran away leaving a garland which later
became the May day crown. The child,
awakened by her toy Jack-in-the-box,
Miss Mary Ethel Ellington, discovered
the garland and tried it on, thinking it
was a gift for her. It does not fit and

Dr. Graham To Close Student
Government Meet With Talk;
Weaver Speaks On Fee Status
Coffin, Spearman
Tel Daily Tar
Heel Its Faults
The second day of the Campus Gov
ernment conference came to an end last
night with a dinner and general ses
sion in the banquet hall of Graham Me
morial featuring Fred Weaver as prin
cipal speaker. Weaver spoke on "The
History and Status of Student Fees"
which in his words is a "voluntary tax
system."
"In 1910 the cost of attending the
University was only $85," said Weaver
to the approximately 75 campus lead
ers present, "and then a large number
of fees were voted upon by the cam
pus which now, causes the tremendous
cost of getting an education at Chapel
Hill." He suggested that student fees
be reconsidered by a campus vote. His
proposal was a blanket fee for student
activities of $25 with which the audit
board will apportion the amount given
to the various campus organizations.
ORIENTATION
Other speakers on the program were
John Kendrick, Sam Hobbs, John
Creedy, John Bonner, Charles Putzel
and Bob Magill, chairman of the con
ference. Immediately following the
speeches a discussion from the floor
brought up various points of interest
such as "the inadequacy of the fresh
man orientation system."
At the publications sub-group in the
afternoon O. J. Coffin and Walter
Spearman were the principal speakers
during the Tar Heel session. Coffin
gave his reason against the proposal
by the campus newspaper's managing
editor for a wire service for off -campus
news. His chief objections were
that "The Daily Tar Heel is for cam
pus news only" and that "a wire ser
vice would be too expensive." Coffin
also stated, "The campus daily can

Harry Davis To Substitute
So That Forest Theater Pro- -duction
May Go On
By DORIS GOERCH
"Even though the front end of the
elephant has chicken pox, we are
sure that the Forest theater produc
tion, "Noah," will be a great success,"
Earl Wynn, who has the leading role
in the drama, said yesterday. He ex
plained that Harry Davis will re
place Jimmy Schleifer, who has been
playing opposite Miss Terrell Everett,
the back end of the elephant.
" 'Noah is a whimsical, modern in
terpretation of what might have hap
pened in days of Noah from the be
ginning of the flood to the end," Wynn
said. "Its charm lies in its .whimsy
and lightness though at times it ven
tures into the field of seriousness.
Because of its action, music, and va
riety of moods, the ""story adapts it
self to outdoor production."
