COLLEGE DAILY IN TO CREATE A CAMPUS PERSONALITY" A JOURNAL OF THE ACTIV 11113 OF CAROLINIANS . mi vs VOLUME XLIV EDITORIAL PHONE 4351 CHAPEL HILL, N.

KEYBOARD by Phil Hammer Despite State Paper Opinion Friday's Trustees' Session Looks Like Graham Victory Following the trustee meet ing Friday, we had occasion to .say that Dr. Graham won some thing of a personal as well as a University victory during the day's proceedings. Our reason was this. Alumni petitions from all over the state ' -were piled up waiting for him ' in Raleigh, with bearers, said petitions and bearers demand ing a change in the Graham ath letic proposals. The alumni were present to force the trus tees into taking action against the proposals. Well, the trustees did no such .a thing. They referred the mat ter back to Graham and the fa culties of State College and the University for "further consid oration and action." In other words, they said, in -effect: "You go ahead, you and your iaculties, and act as you see fit." The state papers threw headlines around that the trus tees had asked Dr. Graham to reconsider his plans. Maybe they did, but they left it up to liim for final action, and if they loiew Dr. Graham as well as they should have by that time they would have guessed that he would have no changes to make. The state papers said, too, that the trustees would have de feated the Graham plan if they liad voted on it. They even had the Governor quoted to that ef fect. But to us that doesn't seem very significant. The fact re mains that they didn't vote, but left final action up to Graham. And another fact remains that Dr. Graham got about every thing he asked for at the meet ing except immediate action on consolidation, which he prob ably didn't want as much as people seem to think. Deferring consolidation and making it a special order for the June meeting can be interpreted two ways. It can mean that the anti-Graham gentlemen were gunning for him in June and "wanted to get the forces, parti cularly the athletic forces, lined up. It can also mean that the trustees tacitly agreed to the present system of working out -consonaaiion procedure, so no action was necessary. In our opinion, there won't be any athletic question by June. The Southern Conference .will be operating under the Graham plan by then. And once the tidal wave of athletics is remov ed, opposition to Graham him self will be pretty well dislo cated. There are plenty of people who still don't agree with consolidation, of course. But it's not the kind of issue that athle tics is, or "liberalism," upon -which the anti-Graham forces can ride with gusto. In Today's News Hell Week abolished by the student council.

ORCHESTRA PLAYS SYMPHONIC MUSIC INSERHMONIGHT Minneapolis Musicians Offered On Student Entertainment Program at 8:15 TO BE IN MEMORIAL HALL Tonight at 8 :15 the student entertainment series will present the Minneapolis Symphony Orc hestra, under the direction of .Eugene Urmandy, m Memorial hall as the second attraction in the series for the winter quarter. Because of the fact that prac- ically all seats are taken by stu dents, and season ticket holders, very few non-ticket-holders will be able to gain admission. No one will be seated during the course of a number. Late comers will have to wait till the end of the opening number. Mixed Chorus More than 30 years ago the Philharmonica club, a mixed chorus, was considered the lead ing representative of Minnea polis' musical pretensions and under the direction of Emil Obe rnoiier it gave iour concerts a year. However it needed the support of an orchestra. It occurred to Mr. Oberhoffer that Minneapolis, young as it was, might go f uther in the mat ter of providing music for the city." Elbert L. Carpenter was of the same mind, so he called a few friends together and they contributed 10,000 dollars a year for three years to form a perma nent orchestra. And so the Minneapolis Symphony was born. Auditorium A few years ago the Northrop Memorial Auditorium was erect ed on the campus of the Univer sity of Minnesota to serve as a central rallying place for univer sity activities. It is here that, owing to a series of unforseen circumstances, the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra has found Continued on page two) Van Cise, Anne Bagby Give Weekly Program Over Durham Station Freshman and Psychology Professor's Daughter Perform Over Radio C11 1 TT .

An audition was arranged. Miss Bagby, a friend of. Van Cise and known locally as a pianist and composer, acted as accompanist. The audition was a success, not only for Van Cise but also for Miss Bagby. The two were put on a weekly 15 minute pro gram, which includes four songs by the young baritone crooner, accompanied by Miss Bagby, and one piano sola by her.

Coming as a surprise to the campus, the council's resolu tion followed its cheating probe.

In a special resolution, the council made it known that from this time forth it will prohibit all "physical violence or other unwarranted indignity" by any student or groups of students in initiations, Hell Week procedure or other bug-bears of neophytes. The council's action came as a surprise to the campus, a pleas ant one to many students who have been agitating for some time to abolish Hell Week and all other forms of hazing. It was announced without any previous expression of intention by the council following its action after, finishing the cheating cases. Sources of Power The council's power to abolish hazing in any form comes from two sources. There is a specific trustee ruling prohibiting haz ing, which ruling has been turn ed over for enforcement in large measure to the council by the faculty, in whom its enforcement was originally invested by the trustees. And in the maintenance of the Continued on page two) EXTENSION GROUP TO GIVE SUMMER COURSE IN MUSIC All-State High School Session will be Offered in Summer School Designed to give boys and girls of high school age the opportunity for an intensive study of music, an all-state high school music course will be off ered here during the first term of the summer session, June 11 to July 22.
