Foster Appointed Dean
In Liberal Arts College
First Woman in University History
To Take Assistant Dean's Position
By I. G. R.
Miss Geraldine Foster has been made Assistant Dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences on the recommendation of Dr. Frank P. Graham, Dean
R. B. House and Dean A. W. Hobbs. This is the first time that the position
has been held by a woman.
Miss Foster arrived on the campus two years ago, and quickly familiarized
herseli with the problems of the office
of the college, displaying independence
of thought in regard to the questions
arising from the changed situation
due to war emergencies.
Since future plans of the college
include a closer attention to individ
ual students, about ninety percent of
whom are now women, it is hoped that
more may be learned about them dur
ing their stay here, enabling them to
get employment suited to their abil
ities when they leave. Dean Hobbs in
dicated that "Miss Foster has shown
imagination and energy in this direc
tion, and with the cooperation of the
faculty will be able to develop a de
pendable file of information about each
student."
Graham Approval
Dr. Graham has said that he was
"glad to have Miss Foster here, since
she would be able to assume some of
the burden that Dean Hobbs has been
carrying on his able shoulders alone."
Dean House echoed these same senti
ments, adding that "Miss Foster had
already proven her efficiency and ca
pability, and that the University was
very fortunate to have her."
Miss Foster is a scholar in her own
right and her knowledge of French,
Spanish and Portuguese have made it
easier to deal with students from
South American countries. The; 1 new
Assistant Dean was born in Water
town, New York, and attended the" Col
lege of William and Mary. She re
ceived her B.S. at St. Lawrence, and
her M.A. at Carolina in 1942.
Di Discusses
US Elections
Should the American people abolish
the present electoral college system for
national presidential elections?
That is the topic which will be dis
cussed in the Dialectic senate tonight
at 9. Last week, Bill Mackie, chair
man of the ways and means committee
announced that this week's resolution
would be: Resolved: that the present
system of elections . by the Electoral
College should be abolished.
Once again state's righters and the
nationalists will have opportunity to
weigh their relative arguments. The
perspective of coming fall elections
subtracts no less from a resolution
which might vitally concern the Who's
Who in future presidential campaigns.
In its business session tonight the
Di will have several important mat
ters to consider. First there will be
the proposal by the membership corn

Coed Bond
Sales Worry
Directors

Not Yet Success
Latest reports on the war bond cam
paign in the coed dormitories indicate
that sales are below the expectations of
campaign leaders.
A total of $23.70 worth of bonds and
stamps have been sold at Alderman
hall. Sororities Pi Phi with $5.50, Chi
Omega with $4.80 and AD Pi with $3.10
were not heard from at the time of the

and the next by the different sororities.
The booth will be open daily except
Sunday from 9 'til noon and from 2 un

everyone buying a war bond of any
denomination.

Campus Legislators Grapple
Again With Dance Finances
The much-discussed question of dance finances will come in for student
legislature attention "again Thursday night when the group holds its second
meeting of the summer to consider several important campus problems.
Libba Wiggins, chairman of the Ways and Means committee, announced
that a bill will be presented to cover the limitation of expenses for dances
on the campus. This bill is n-out-
growth of the last major campus dance
sponsored by the newly-formed Ger
man club in which a band was im
ported and more than the limited
amount of money was apportioned for
the occasion.
An amendment to the constitution
of the legislature in the form of a
bill concerning representation and re
placement of dropped members will
also take a featured spot on the ledg
er. This amendment will deal with the
method of replacing legislators who
have either left school permanently,
or are not attending the summer ses
sions. Discussion will be held from the
floor regarding the possible represen
tation in the legislature by the P. U.
board, the Debate council and the

Tar Heel Goes
To New V-12ers
This issue of the Tar Heel is be
ing given free to all navy personnel
so that you may read about us, learn
about us, subscribe to our paper (we
hope) and perhaps become interest
ed enough to write for us. Most of
our navy writers were transferred
this last graduation . . . come in to
the office and help fill up the ranks
and balance our staff.
It is in the intention of the Tab
Heel to attempt to represent all
groups on campus, undergraduate,
graduate, civilians and servicemen
of all branches, and there is room on
our roster for eager, interested and
honest reporters.
It will be necessary for the mem
bers of the legislature to elect com
mittee chairmen for the elections
committee, the rules committee and
the finance committee. A new secre
tary for the summer session will be
necessary. Virginia Edell, present
secretary, is not attending summer
school. - .
This meeting will terminate a wait
ing period of two weeks during which
time it was impossible for the legis
lature to meet because of the absence
of civilian or navy representives.
Charlie Vance, legislature speaker,
is at present waiting for call from
his draft board at which time he will
enter the armed forces.
The legislature meets every Thurs
day evening at 8:00 in the Phi hall
of New East building.
