The plan, of independent radical

Raleigh, Nov. 11. (AP> Dr. Frank
Porter Graham today was elected
president of the greater University
of North Carolina.
The election was made bv the full
board of trustees of the consolidated
university.
Dr. Graham is now president of the
University unit of the consolidated
school.
The board named J, I. Foust as
vice-president for the woman's col
lege unit at Greensboro, and Dr. E.
C. Brooks as vice-president of the
State College unit here. Each was
president of his institution
before the consolidation. No vice
president was named for the univer
sity unit at Chapel Hill to succeed
Dr. Graham.
Differences over the status of State
College in the merger scheme which
linked State. N. C. C. W. and the Uni
versity of North Carolina into the
greater university caused a prolonga
tion of thp meeting of the trustees.
A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions showing the board's at
titude on State College in the future.
The resolution adopted by the full
board set forth that there is no in
tention to defnote any of the institu
tions to the rank of a junior college
or o discontinue the schools of en
gineerin;: at Chapel Hill or at Ra
leigh.
The board also adopted a resolution
that it receive the petition presented
to Governor O. Max Gardner by L.. A.
Tatum, retired textile manufacturer
of Belmont, which asked that some
thing be done about the "dual system
of teaching in the Stale's institutions
especially Carolina and N. C. C. W
The resolution provided that the peti
tion shall have due consideration of
the trustees.

Meanwhile President Machado was
