Signed by 12 members of the Stu
dent legislature, a petition to call a

tive body for the discussion of two
bills, was presented yesterday to Bill

stitute the first legislation by the stu

the student body last spring to take
any action that the student body itself
might make.
The legislature has held only one
meeting this year which was devbted
chiefly to acquainting the legislators
with their duties, and the appointment
of a committee to facilitate operation
of the group.
Last week, a committee consisting
of Allen Merrill, Walter Kleeman, and
Voit Gilmore, with Jim Joyner sit
ting in on the discussion, formulated
a set of rules of procedure for the
body, and laid out an outline plan to
be followed in putting bills through
the legislature. The committee's rec
ommendations wuiralsoCplaced Jbe-1
fore the group for adoption at Thurs
day's meeting. .

Negro Woman
Admission
UNC Head Pledges
Help In Negro
School Improvement
By MORRIS W. ROSENBERG
Pointing ouft that Governor Hoey has
appointed a commission to investigate
the whole question of Negro education
in general and professional and grad
uate Work for Negroes in North Caro
lina, President Frank Graham yester
day answered the letter-of Pauli Mur
ray, Negro woman, who recently ap
plied for admission to the University.
"Taking account of the constitution
of North Carolina, the decision of the
United States Supreme Court and the
clear intent of the legislature of North
Carolina, have pledged as far as my
lawful responsibility permits, the co
operation of the University of North
Carolina with the North Carolina Col
lege for Negroes and the North Caro
lina Agricultural and Technical Col
lege for Negroes toward a more ade
quate provision for Negroes in the pub
lic schools, higher standard Negro un
dergraduate colleges, and a substan
tial beginning in the provision for
graduate and professional work" the
president added.
INFERIOR FACILITIES
In her letter to Dr. Graham, Pauli
Murray stated that she doubted pro
fessional and graduate courses in
Negro colleges would measure up to
such courses in the white state univer
sity because other colored schools in
North Carolina have never been given
those facilities that would place them
on a par with white schools.
Several years ago another colored
student, Thomas Hocutt, tried to reg
ister in the University pharmacy
school but was rejected. Pauli Mur
ray said she understood he was turn
ed down on the grounds his educational
qualifications made him ineligible
He received his undergraduate work at
a Negro college in North Carolina.
"My personal contact with other
students who have come to Northern
colleges for their graduate work, on
the basis of their own admissions, has
led me to believe that their undergrad
uate work was so inadequate that it
was necessary for them to take addi
tional courses or remain in school a
longer period of time to supply this
deficiency," continued the Negro wo
man, who is a former resident of North
Carolina.
STUDY ENCOURAGING
In his reply Dr. Graham declared : "A
study of the advances made by North
Carolina toward more equal provision
for Negroes in the public school and
the state colleere is encouraging. A

Final settlement of the dance cor
sage question was apparently reached
yesterday when results of the CPU
poll taken at the Mid-Winter dances

the sending of flowers.

Other questions asked were:
"Should Negroes be admitted to the
University?" to which 36 boys an
swered yes; 237 no; and 15 girls yes;
150, no. ; ,
, "Should girls give late dates to
boys other than the ones who took
them to the dances?" was answered
negatively by 176 boys and positively
by 98. Girls also disapproved of this
practice by 109 to 59. .
The final question, "Should coeds
be admitted to the University as
freshmen?" was answered yes by 220
boys and no by 55. Girls were not so
definitely in favor of the idea, but
approved by 99 to 65.
The poll, conducted impartially,
was taken on the automatic voting
machines which have been in the
CPU's custody since last faU. Girls
and boys -used separate machines. -NEW

IhMom Today
Current Indications
Are That Proposal
Will Be Abandoned
Following a month of hearings on
controversial sections of the state's
record-setting budget, the appropria
tions committee of the North Carolina
legislature will reconvene today in Ra
leigh and is scheduled to consider the
proposed tuition increases' ai the
Greater University and other institu
tions ' of higher learning- as recom
mended by the advisory budget com
mission, j
Current indications have been ex
pressed that the proposed' increases
of approximately $50 a year for resi
dents of North Carolina will be aban
doned, and that the recommended ap
propriation for the Greater Univer
sity will be increased to compensate
for revenue which was expected from
higher tuition.
President Frank Graham pointed;
out Sunday night that a fair picture
of the actual situation .was not offer
ed in some of the published reports
from Raleigh that the Sutton figures
for the consolidated University ; re
quire an increase in allotment of a
half million dollars.
Dr. Graham said he was waiDeal-
ing to the people of North Carolina to
consider the whole picture and not
merely the destructively low figure
recommended to be based on the high
tuition increase proposed to supplant
actual present moderate appropria
tions for three large increasingly use
ful institutions."

SARG'S PUPPETS
PERFORM SOM
Marionettes In
"Treasure Island"
Tony Sarg's marionettes will ap
pear in the Playmaker theater Thurs
day in two performances, matinee and
night, presenting "Treasure Island."
The matinee performance will be at
3:30 and the evening at 8 o'clock.
A puppet stage will be erected on
the regular Playmaker - stage and
there the puppet pirates, one-third
the size of a human being, will fight,
talk, and probably "walk the plank."
Sarg has chosen "Treasure Island" for
this year's production after working
on it for three years."
ALMOST ALIVE
The puppets are twenty-four inch
dolls with movable arms, legs, eyes,
tongues, and even chests which give
the appearance of breathing. The
construction of the puppets is very
complicated, some of them having as
many as twenty-six separate control
strings and none having less than
twenty-two. The strings are of strong
black thread, and invisible to the au
dience. ;
When Sarg first entered the mari
onette business, he employed two casts,
one of puppeteers and another of ac
tors to speak the puppets' lines. How
ever, when he began enlarging the
show he found that the two casts had
grown so large that they got in each
other's way and that the pay roll
had increased so - much that even
though the show was an artistic "suc
cess, it was also a financial failure.
Being a puppeteer; requires ..care
ful training, a quick, memory, and .the
ability to extemporize lines when it is
necessary. Often the strings of the
dolls get tangled or some- accident
momentarily delays the action of the
play, and the puppeteer must be able
to cover the mistakes by extra lines
and actions.
