THE DAILY TAB SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1948 BEE PAGE FOUR YWCA Race Shows Cross Section Opinion By Joan JBIase ' Results of the recent Race Relations- Poll sponsored by the Race Relations Committee of the YWCA show that 37.2 per cent of the Carolina students are. in favor of accepting Negro stu dents in the University. "Would you mind a Negro sit ting beside you in class?" drew a response of 58 per cent "yeses" and is a considerable increase of objections in comparison with this question in last year's poll. 77 per cent agree that the Ne gro is born with the same capa city to learn as the white and this corresponds to the figure in last year's response. One of the biggest changes in this year's poll is that only 29 per cent believe that the Negroes and Whites should attend the same churches while last year 44.4 per cent were in favor of mixed church congregations. Acceptance of Negroes in the University and living in the same dormitories with the Whites is objected to by 76 per cent, agreed to by 14 per cent and answered conditionally by 10 per cent. Ad mission with separate dormi tories for the Negroes is object ed to by 55 per cent, agreed to by 35 per cent and 10 per cent again answered conditionally. The two races eating together but living in separate dormitories is objected to by 74 per cent, agreed to by 12.9 per cent and answered on condition by 13.1 -per cent. Allowance of Negroes in cam pus organizations and profes sional fraternities is agreed to by 38 per cent, objected to by 55 per cent and 7 per cent replied on condition. The poll was distributed in different living quarters to a cross section of five hundred stu dents and of those who answered the poll 11.5 are students from northern states, the remainder being southerners. 55 percent are female and 45 per cent male, but the figures do not vary enough to show a marked difference in the answers of one sex from the other. For example, 41 per cent of the women and 47 per cent of the men would be willing to ad mit Negroes to the University; 27 per cent of the women and 32 per cent of the men say that Ne groes and Whites should attend the same churches. This is the second year that the Race Relations Committee has sponsored the poll and the plan is to continue it for a five year period. Comparison of this year's figures to those of last year show an increase in objec tions to the acceptance of Ne groes in both the University and the churches. The Committee believes that relaxation of war time slogans and feeling concern ing everybody working together for the winning of the war has ( University Service Station Odis Pendergraf t, Prop.

Evelyn Davis is chairman of the Committee and Harnette Clarke was head of the Poll. Dialectic Senate Votes To Raise UNCRequirements A bill to increase greatly the scholastic requirements for stu dents received a overwhelming majority of support from the Di alectic Senate in the weekly meeting Wednesday night.

Mike Morrow, speaking in be half of the Athletic Association, claimed that it was impossible for athletes to keep the high standards of the Athletic Depart ment and, at the same time, to maintain a "C" average. Dan McFarland answered Morrow by saying "Too much importance, time, and money is put on extra-curricula and athletic activities and too little upon the real purpose of college 'to gain higher learning'." Tom Eller announced that an extensive membership campaign is getting under way. Selig Appointed Business Manager Frank William Selig, senior in the commerce school, was yes terday appointed by the PU board to the post of business manager of the Daily Tar Heel. Selig replaces Bettie Gaither who recently resigned.
