"Everyone in the audience saw the blue-and-white cape draped over Mr. Pwoosevelt's shoulders; thought nothing of it except that the thirty-second President of the United States has been made an honorary doctor of lit erature at the University of North Carolina. "The story hehind the hood is au thentic it comes from Dr. Frank P. Graham, who read the citation making the President a University alumnus (" . . my new-found alumni . . .")

Johnson, known as "Bill" to his fel low men, will no longer ring out through the halls and in the showers of Aycock dormitory. Bill has depart ed from the ivy-clad freshman dor mitory to further his education in the United States Navy Air corps. A native of Asheville, Bill has been interested in flying since he was able to distinguish an airplane from a huge bird. His uncle was a racing pilot and although Bill was on hand when the uncle was killed as he tried to perform a power dive,e has still been greatly enthusiastic about pilot ing a plane.

Gilmore, obviously pleas ed over the matter, said that his organization, with this service would be in a position to obtain speakers who cannot spare the time required to travel here on trains from Washington, New York, or other distant places. Reynolds said in his letter to Gil more: "You are to be congratulated on your splendid work and I am glad to have been of some as sistance."

RESIDENT READS, STUDENTS SEARCH, BATTLE BLAZES Last Dorm Fire Was In Old West Three Years Ago ' Battle, dormitory residentsreturn iftgl hcmrcfroni "the student entertain ment Thursday night heard the story of the fire at 9 o'clock which resulted from burning boards beneath a lava tory in room four occupied by Oliver Kanson, Hampton Short and David Citron. The last dormitory fire on the cam pus necessitating a call of the fire department was a little over three years ago at Old West when a mat tress was on fire. While studying Eric Laddey, second floor resident, room eight, detected the smell of smoke and immediately went to adjoining room six and asked Joe Dawson if he had smelled some thing burning. Dawson agreed and the two set out to find the origin. On the first floor, Laddy entered room four and found Hampton Short, a resident of the room, calmly lying on his bed reading a book. Laddey saw a blaze gaining headway just be low the lavatory. Although Short said he was not aware of the blaze, he added that he must have carelessly flipped a burning cigarette under neath the basin, igniting the dry and inflammable flooring. Laddy said the reason Short had (Continued on last page) L 'v - - f v, ;:..: '.:: v ' s : .- - , i i - . t- - s :-. :.:".---.-:-: $ v : ; -.---.'.-.v.v.:.:-:-N?:s:v Speaking For His Race Janitor President Does Not Favor Negro Entrance Here Freshman Calls Joan Bennett By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN A certain picture show playing at a certain theater in town . Wednes day, featuring a certain actress who certainly looked lovely, caused quite a lot of activity that same night. In fact, Alexander Graham Bell rolled over in his grave and the Chapel Hill long distance operator swallowed her chewing gum on three different occa sions. - One John Hoagland, freshman from Boundbrook, N. J., was involved in the situation, caused by the cinema tic production "Trade Winds." The certain actress was Joan Bennett with a differently pigmented coiffure and this isn't .no advertisement.

He (Continued on last page) To Protest Joyner To Defend State Supported Schools In Hearing Members of the joint Senate and House Appropriations committee will hear this afternoon the Greater Uni versity's case protesting the proposed tuition increase for its students. Dr. Frank Graham, president of the Greater University, will present the administration's views on the situa tion. , ' . Given a special place on the hearing, the student bodies of all state sup ported schools will have their objec- -tions to the proposal presented by Jim Joyner, president of the University student body. Aiding Joyner will be : Bill Bailey, president of the student body at State college, and John Ran kin, chairman of the student lobby against the measure. Each of the stu- . dent bodies at the state supported in- . stitutions has authorized Joyner as their respresentative, and has given him information concerning its stu dents which will be used as evidence at the hearing. WEALTH OF INFORMATION Joyner reported last night that he has a wealth of 'information, including statistics on the financial status of the student bodies, personal cases, and petitions signed by the students which will be presented to the committee for its consideration, Joyner pointed out that at Carolina alone over 1000 students are receiving financial aid for their education and of these a large percentage would not be able to stand the additional tuition costs. Meanwhile, from the state legisla ture, came reports that many of the senators are convinced that the pro posal will not be accepted. Repre sentative Dallas Mallison, of Pamlico county explicitly set forth his position . in 4;he. matter 4n astatement released yesterday. SENATOR'S STATEMENT" "I am unalterably opposed to the recommended increase in tuition rates at the State-supported educational in stitutions and believe that the vast majority of citizens of North Carolina concur in this opposition. Moreover, I am of the, opinion that if this increase is granted it will prove to be the most unpopular move the present General assembly can make." N Mallison's statement also set forth his reasons for his stand and in con clusion presented a counter proposal. "The only way I could be persuaded to vote for such a proposal," he said, "would be, first, to increase greatly the tuition rates of out-of-state stu dents part of whose cost of education is now being born by 'people in this State; and secondly, by the creation of a sufficiently large loan fund open to all State-supported educational. stitutions which would completely off set the total increase in tuition rates for all students in these schools. One merit of this plan would be to catch those students who can pay more and yet not destroy the opportunity of all deserving and capable boys and girls to get a college education." Kennon Cheek Discusses Problem Of His Own Race In Interview By LOUISE JORDAN "As I see it now, it is not advisable for Negroes to enter the University at the present time." Kennon Cheek, president of the Janitors' association, expressed this opinion yesterday in re gard to the problem of providing equal educational opportunities in the State for Negroes. The advisability of the entrance of Negro students in the University has been discussed by representatives . of almost every group except from the Negroes themselves. Kennon Cheek, janitor in Venable hall, as leader of probably the most active Negro or ganization on the campus is qualified to speak for himself and his race. DEVELOP MASSES Kennon Cheek emphasized the need to develop the masses of his people rather than to cater alone to its upper class. He remarked that from a fi nancial standpoint few North Caro (Continued on last page)
