2. That he did not present
complete evidence of his educa
tional history as required by the
regulations of admission.
3. That he was excluded
solely because he was a Negro,

a writ of mandamus.

whether Hocutt, should he have

Sixty graduate women of the
University gathered at a dinner
meeting in Graham Memorial

ual Climate for Women" and to
discuss recommendations for a
graduate woman's association.
Miss Marjorie Mendenhall pre
sided at the meeting.
Mrs. Beard, a prominent
writer and leader of woman's
movements, gave an interpreta
tion of the position of women in
history. She traced their par
ticipation in the rise and fall of
civilization, giving particular
emphasis to their activities in
American life.
She further stressed the need
fr women to see the University
m tne particular ana u spenu
their enersries in concern with
the fundamentals of life.
The speaker was introduced
by Mrs. Laura Weil Cone of
Greensboro, trustee of the Uni
versity. Miss Mary Frances
Parker, president of the Wo
man's Association, traced the
history of the organization.
Amendments Offered
Four amendments to the con
stitution of the Woman's Asso
ciation, setting up co-ordinate
graduate and undergraduate di
visions for the organization,
were reported by a committee
investigating the position of
graduate women in the Univer
sity. A group of by-laws for the
graduate division were also re-
j ported.
The group decided to bring
the recommendations before the
Woman's Association Tuesday
afternoon.
Members of the investigating
committee were Miss Elizabeth
Head, Mrs. Annie Beam Fund
erburk, and Miss Letitia Currie.

COMMITTEE GIVES
NOMINATIONS FOR
Y.M.C.A. OFFICERS
John Acee, L. H. Fountain, and
W. T. Minor Were Nominated
For Presidency of "Y."
The nominating committee of
the Y. M. C. A., last night de
livered its report on nomina
tions for Y. M. C. A. officers for
the coming year. Nominations
were made jointly for president
and vice-president so that the
man receiving the second high
est number of votes is auto
matically elected vice-president.
The nominating committee also
made its selections in this man
ner as it was believed by the
committee that the nominees for
the presidency also included the
men most capable for the office
of vice-president. Nominees for
president are thus running for
two offices rather than for only
one.
The election date has been set
for April 4. If four or more men
run for the presidency, there
will be a run-off election.
Committee's Nominations
The following are the selec
tions of the nominating commit
tee: for president, John Acee,
Lawrence H. Fountain, and W.
T. Minor, Jr.; for recording
secretary, Julian D. Winslow,
Lock; S. Sloop, Jr., and F. M. S.
Patterson; and for treasurer,
Thomas G. Nisbet and Ruf us A.
Pool.
For the board of directors,
the following men were nomin
ated : for 1933-35 term, Prof es
son E. J. Woodhouse, Maryon
Saunders, and A. C. Mcintosh;
and for the 1933-36 term, Dr.
English Bagby, Dr. E. L. Mac
kie, and R. A. Fetzer.
Movement For Dividing
Oman's Association Fails
A movement to divide the
Woman's Association into grad
uate and undergraduate groups
fell through yesterday after
noon when the members of the
association, meeting at Graham
Memorial, voted down four pro
posed amendments to the con
stitution of the organization.
The amendments as proposed
at the gathering are as follows :
Article I: There shall be two
co-ordinate divisions of the Wo
man's Association, the under
graduate and the graduate divi
sions. Article II : The executive body
of each division shall consist of
six members, a president, vice-
president, secretary, treasurer,
and two other members elected
as the respective divisions see fit.
Article III: Matters of com
mon interest shall be decided by
the two executive bodies meet
ing in a common council.
Current membership dues
shall be administered by this
common council, and at the end
of the spring quarter in every
year there shall be a pro rata
division of remaining funds.
Article IV : The time of elect
ing officers, of holding meetings,
and the determination of par-
ticular policies shall be left to
the respective divisions.
By-Laws Defeated
By-laws incorporated in four
articles advanced for the pro-
posed graduate division of the
Woman's Association were also
def eated by the group.
