Chi Omega President Frances Caffey, when asked her opinion on the matter, said that while she could see the point in not ad mitting freshman and sopho more girls because of the free dom allowed the older girls, some (solution to this problem could be worked out. Caffey believes that a more normal social life could be attained with the presence of more women, and also a more active participation in sports and campus affairs. In addi tion to these facts, she stated that the admission of freshman and sophomore girls would bring with it the establishment of ad ditional sororities on the campus. Lawlor Comments Nancy Lawlor, Pi Phi presi dent, said unhesitatingly that she thought sophomore and freshman girls should be permit ted to attend! the University. She said that , Carolina is a state school, and should be open to girls of this state. "Things are offered here that one can not take at a girl's school," President Lawlor pointed out. Girls whose homes are m Chapel Hill seem to feel more strongly about the matter than any other group of co-eds. These Chapel Hill girls say that they have friends here who have fin ished high school and are anxi ous to continue their education. University regulations, they point out, prevent their friends from coming here as freshmen or sophomores, as they should like to do. Many girls do not have the money necessary to go off to school, even for two years, and must stay home here, within hearing of the bell, knowing the impossibility of receiving an education," was the bitter com ment made by one of the town students. Jo Oettinger and Jean Walker stated in unison that girls should unquestionably be allowed to en ter the university when they wish to do so. Roommates Oet tinger and Walker too brought out the point that courses are offered here which many girls wish to take and two years only do not give time-to take them. Jane Ross, Woman's Associa tion president, said that although she did not feel that the school is equipped to take care of more girls at present, their admission as freshmen and sophomores is to be desired in the future. Dormitories on the campus elected their officers for the coming year yesterday. In Ofd East, Tom Bruce was elected president over David Oliver, and S. B. Bradley received the vice- I presidency unopposed. Ed Grant was the only nomi nee for president of Steele, and Glenn Hawfield defeated Clyde Shaw and John Elmendorf for vice-president.

Council Publishes Tabulated Results Of Questionnaires Complete Report of Committee Findings Will Be Released In Tomorrow's Paper DISLIKE SEVERITY Tabulated replies to the hon or principle questionnaire answered by students last month were yesterday released by the Student Council. Answers were given by ap proximately 1,000 of the Univer sity's 2615 students. Only one fourth of the 1,000 indicated that they would report a violator of the honor code.

Other answers varied so greatly as to be of no consummate value to the. com mittee. V.
