Graham, presi dent of the University, revealed there had been secured from the General Education Board over a quarter-million dollars in very recent years, including a present grant of $125,000 for the estab lishment of the graduate depart ment at Chapel Hill. It was learned that the GEB grant will be used to supplement the salaries above the state scale during the next five years for members of this department. Rapid Development "Utilization of statistics as in terpreted by higher mathematics has increased in an almost revo lutionary way in a very recent period," Dr. Graham stated. "The demand for Mathematical Statistics has been especially im perative in the fields of agricul ture, industry, commerce, and government." The president said that in the war just closed, experiments in Mathematical Statistics saved many millions of dollars and many thousands of lives. By the end of five years this new All University undertaking will largely pay its own way out of projects allocated to it by the Department of Agriculture, the Army, Navy, Industry, and the Sciences, he added. Hotelling Noted Professor Harold Hotelling, acknowledged to be a brilliant and internationally - eminent leader in the theory of mathe matical statistics, now at Co lumbia University, will be head of the graduate department at Chapel Hill. . Upon being asked about its All - University significance, President Graham said : "This will develop increasing ly to include the department of Experimental Statistics at State College in agriculture, industry, engineering, and textiles; with value to the, institute of research in Social Science, School of Com merce, and department of Psy chology, the department of Edu cation, and biological and med ical sciences, at Chapel Hill ; and in time the department of Home Economics at Woman's College. "The All-University Institute of Statistics will serve all func tions of the University and the manifold needs of agriculture, technology, commerce, industry, government, and research in the natural and social sciences." Competent experts indicate that on the foundations laid it is possible for the University of North Carolina to become one of the two or three great centers of mathematical and experi mental statistics in the world. Outlining an entirely new pro gram for the Phi, the speaker set forth these four major points: 1. The Phi should be an or ganization that will be heard from when a major issue arises. ' 2. The Phi should endeavor to see that the campus has 'an out standing program of classical music consisting of a series of concert and symphonic programs. 3. Necessary action should be taken by the Phi with regard to the reopening of the Scuttlebutt in the lower quadrangle. 4. The Phi should instigate an investigation of the student fee financial structure. "The Phi should be different," said Smith, "from the Di, the CPU, the IRC, and other campus organizations. In a few weeks the campus constitution will be coming up. This assembly should in every way possible attempt to debate the issues contained in the document and make it truly representative Of the student body. The most constructive con stitution possible should be of fered to the student legislature." The Phi Assembly discussed two conservative measures, and went on record as approving the Case Anti-Strike bill currently before Congress. Introduced by Roy Thompson, the second bill opposed the entrance of Negroes into the University. The latter was tabled indefinitely.
