The results were tabulated in the categories of enrollment, housing, social regulations, stu dent government, and administra tive organization.

Thirty-nine of the 80 schools have housemothers in men's dormi tories; 41 do not. In 73 schools which have fra ternity houses, 25 institutions have housemothers in every fra ternity house, 18 in some houses, 30 schools have no fraternity housemothers. It was shown that state insti tutions have the most women, up to 60 percent, whereas private schools do not go above 50 per cent. The smaller the school the higher the percentage of coed stu House Lists Two Plans If In Office Al House, independent candi date for vice-president of the Senior Class and Bi-Partisan Hoard nominee f for the Men's Honor Council, yesterday releas ed a campaign platform based on service to the student body.

"The election of an inexper ienced person to the job or the election of someone who will of fer no continuity of office may have disasterous effects on The Daily Tar Heel," Allston said. "I can not conceive of anyone holding this all-important pos ition who is not thoroughly vers ed in newspapering and especially matters involving The Daily Tar Heel," continued the University Party nominee. Allston is the only candidate running for editor who has served on the Publications Board. He al so served on Board committees which investigated tabloid publi cation of The Daily Tar Heel, set new advertising rates. Young Soprano 4 Masloff Concert Slated in Hill At 8:30 Tonight Helen Masloff, young American soprano, will appear here tonight in Hill Hall at 8:30. Miss Masloff is a native of Dan ville, Va.

"We budgeted for six days a week in the fall and five days a week in the winter and spring in our original 1951-52 budget. When the Legisature knocked out $3,000, it made rebudgeting neces sary. We shall have the paper at least five days a week," Allston continued. Allston said he personally felt that money would be available in the fall to guarantee the print ing of six standard-size issues. "If there are as many as -5,000 stu dents here next year, the Legis lature will have the money to al locate to the Board. All they will have to do is to give it to us." Ed Williams, business manag er of The Daily Tar Heel, ex pressed the hope that the news paper might return to five issues per week instead, of the four now published, if the volume of ad vertising continues- to increase. He gave no hint when this move might be possible. The student daily was cut to five, then four issues per week this year "as increasing costs of publication made the cuts neces sary. Along with the drop to four issues per week, the wire services, daily comic strips and editorial page features were discarded. , According to Allston, a new budget would have to be figured. But the old group is leaving that headache to the new members to be elected this spring. Predictions are that the budget will be worked out to publish The Daily Tar Heel on a five-day basis. The comic strips probably will return, Allston pointed out, but only one will be financed by student fees. The facilities of the Associated Press will be made available and several editorial page features will return, the Board's secretary indicated. . Present Daily Tar Heel Editor Roy Parker, Jr., said yesterday the financial future looked con siderably brighter than that for the past year. He, explained he had tried to avoid the recent slashes in features and days of publication, but said his "hands were tied." "The Board had no money with which to operate," he said, "and the cuts were necessary. Even if it were in my power to maintain normal operation, there was no money on hand with which to do so." tinguished coach Walter Golde, who has always demonstrated genuine interest in her ambition to be a professional singer, as well as faith in her success.

James said yesterday he had talked "at some length with sev eral men in the Administration, and they have given me the im pression that the plan can be worked if enough students back it." He said the plan first would be experimented with on a volun tary basis in one of the side din ing halls in Lenoir. "The big advantage in this type of plan is the saving for the in dividual. It is believed that food costs for a student per month can be cut at least as much as 50 percent. And this is quite a saving for those men and wom en who are right on the financial borderline." James listed the main disad vantage as smaller selection of foods. Under James' plan, students would pay a set rate every month in advance. No rebates would be given for meals that are missed. However, if a student desired, he could give the plan a one month's trial with the option of contin uing jf he so desired. "The big disadvantage of course is the lack of selection of food," James continued. "But under the family-style plan, food can us ually be prepared better and much more economically. Then, too, there can be as much as 20 or more extra dollars per month in a student's pocket while using this plan." The presidential aspirant said he believed "we definitely have need again for the cheaper family-style meal, especially in view of the high prices of meats and other foods these days."

Dr. Coker Answers: ' I 1 Ss I irnnwwiinii on r.mf n, Smf$. 'iiiiin.n i iniin unrnin w i r i i At What Age Should A College Prof Be Required To Give Up Teaching? By Robert W. Madry When should a college profes sor be required to retire? It's a moot question that always provides lively debate, especial ly in academic circles. The retirement age varies at different institutions. At the Uni versity a professor is eligible to retire at 60 and is required to do so at 70. He may be called back for emergency work, however, on a temporary basis. Age alone, however, is often considered an unfair criterion; Many professors at 70 are more; active, alert and physically fit than some of their colleagues at 60. - Consider, for instance, men like Dr. William M. Dey, Dr. W. deB. MacNider, Dr. Archibald Hender son, Dr. George : Coffin Taylor, To BRUCE MELTON AND FRANK ALLSTON (left and right) are two of the five candidates running in tomorrow's general election for editor of The Daily Tar Heel. Allston, present asso ciate sports editor, is running on the University Party slate, while Melton is an independent. Melton issued a brief statement yester day on the campaign: "I aim to give all my energy and ability possible to the editorship of The Daily Tar Heel if I am elected. It is up lo the students to decide the editor of The Daily Tar Heel, and I will appreciate consideration on behalf of the student body tomorrow." Parker Supporting nard Daily Tar Heel Editor Roy Parker, Jr., yesterday endorsed independent candidate and pres ent Associate Editor Don May-, nard for the editorship of the campus daily. " At the same'time, Maynard sub mitted to The Daily Tar Heel a petition bearing close to 300 sig natures nominating him as an in dependent candidate. He had earlier in the campaign turned in a smaller petition with the re quired 25 nominating signatures to the Elections Board. ' In his statement supporting Maynard for the editor's post, Parker stated: "Don Maynard's three year's experience in every phase of The Daily Tar Heel and his valuable work as my assistant in the ca pacity of associate editor this year have proved his capabilities to myself and the staff. "His consistent work as make up man for the editorial page and his familiarity with handling editorial material give him far more qualification for the ed itorship than any of the other candidates. "I heartily endorse Maynard for editor of The Daily Tar Heel." Other staff members who join ed in the endorsement were Man aging Editor Chuck Hauser and Executive News Editor Rolfe Neill. The usual- spring election staff nomination was not held this year. Maynard has been a staff mem ber of The Daily Tar Heel for three years, serving as columnist, Dr. J. G. deR. Hamilton, Dr. R. B.

Issue Is Set By Penegar In Statement Dick Penegar, University Party candidate for president of the student body, last night called representation "the most import ant issue in this campaign." In a statement released to The j Daily Tar Heel about 7 p.m., Pen egar said benefits' for the student body, were not campaign issues, since "both parties propose es sentially the same benefits." The candidate also said the "matter of continued policy" was not an issue, "for a political party has no policy aside from that of its members. As the membership changes, so changes the policy." The University Party, Penegar said, "has a consistently represen tative group of students who directly represent a larger por tion of the student body." The statement continued: "There can be litjle discussion on the basic political philosophy (See PENEGAR, page 3) vative side." He thinks the government ought to operate on a pay-as-you-go basis these days and that it could and should reduce its domestic expenditures. But, he adds, such a reduction wouldn't amount to much and would be mostly a ges ture. He also believes that economies could be effected by the consoli dation and better organization of some departments and bureaus, as President Truman has recom mended. He doesn't see any danger of America becoming a welfare state, but he sees the need for much more regulation by government than there was 50 years ago.

Plans for the parade were an nounced by Jenrette and Pub licity Chairman Frank Daniels and H. V. Murray. They urged all interested parties to "come down and join the parade."

Harden Wants 6-Day Tabloid DTH Glenn Harden, independent candidate for editor of The Daily Tar Heel, yesterday advanced the ideas of a tabloid six-day-a-week paper and an , Associated Press radio wire to save the students money. She said the tabloid could be published with an enrollment as low as 3,000. "A tabloid would bring about the timely coverage of news which is impossible under the present curtailed publication schedule and in addition, the lowered cost would permit the return of syndicated columns and comic strips lo the pages of The Daily Tar Heel," the Greensboro journalism senior said. She said $600 could be saved by substituting the Associated Press radio wire for the AP news wire. . Yesterday she reiterated a four point program for the paper: "1. Students have a right to expect an honest paper open to everyone, an editorial policy that is responsible and responsive to the student body . . . and an adequate and accurate coverage of all phases of student life. "2. A Daily Tar Heel, if neces sary at the expense of such lux uries as wire services or page size. "3. Systemized circulation pro cedures. "4. An. intelligent program of acquiring new staff members and training personnel." Glenn was elected queen of Manley Dormitory at a meeting last week and will preside at the dorm's party to be held this Friday. Expense Accounts Elections Board Chairman Julian Mason said yesterday that all campaign expense accounts must be made by all candidates, even those who incur no ex penses during the campaign. For example, a doubly - endorsed candidate with no opposition would have to report lo the Board that he had no campaign expenditures in order to be elected to office. " Men should turn in their statements to Mason at 308 Ay cock, and women may turn theirs in at the student govern ment office.
