INVITATION TO ROSE BOWL IS APPROTOBY PHI Duke's Withdrawal From Southern Loop Is Discussed Against a background of the clat ter of seat slats falling in all sec tions of the hall, the Phi assembly, meeting last night in New East, vot ed unanimously against a bill which disapproved Duke's acceptance of the Rose Bowl invitation from the Uni versity of Southern California on the grounds that such acceptance violated the Southern conference . r u 1 i n g against post-season games. Quite a lengthy discussion, led by Representative Maynard," brought up the point that, if other Southern con ference members criticized Duke's ac ceptance too severely, it might lead to the withdrawal of Duke from the conference along with North Caro lina, who favors Duke's trip to the west coast. Another point in favor of Duke's acceptance was the fact that the Pasadena pilgrimage would bring added prestige to North Carolina football and valuable publicity to the .state in general. By a vote of 37 to 9 the assembly approved the measure which provid d that the federal government create an industrial and agricultural corporation for Puerto Rico.
