Graham returned yes terday after an absence of three weeks, during which time he served on a committee appointed by President Roosevelt to inspect the University of Puerto Rico and present a report on the possibilities of making the insti tution a Pan-American university. He was also a member of a board of vis itors appointed by the president, which made an annual tour of the Naval academy at Annapolis. Headed by Dr. Isaiah Bowmans, president of Johns Hopkins university, the committee included President Cran ford, of the University of Hawaii, Dr. Alvin Johnson, director of . the New School for Social Research, and Dr. Graham. The committee spent 18 days inspecting the University of Puerto Rico and upon their return, the mem bers submitted a report to the presi dent on the possibilities of making it a Pan-American university for stu dents ef North and South America. Upon his return, Dr. Graham, along with presidents of four other univer sities, six senators, and six represent atives, made a three-day inspection tour of Annapolis. An annual affair, the tour is made each year by men named by the President, the vice-presi dent, and the speaker of the House. . While in Washington, Dr. Graham also attended a conference jn Children and Youth, for one day. When asked whether he is here to stay for awhile, the president replied that he will be here until August, except for making a few commencement addresses at vari ous schools.

With Matty Topkins leading the charge, Carolina wasted little time or motion in getting into the scoring col umn and once they started making runs they continued manufacturing them in wholesale lots, scoring in every inning except the sixth when they ran-down after pushing over five tallies in the fifth. The Tar Heels made three in the first to greet Joe Pinder, then pick ed up single tallies in the second, third (Continued on page 3, column 6) At Carolina Women Students Now Assured Of Position As Integral Part Of University- j:... By GLADYS BEST TRIPP . The first coeds to enter the Univer sity almost half a century ago sat behind screens in the classrooms, that the boys might keep their minds and eyes on their work. Last year a coed was elected to the residency of the Di society, and al though the event smashed a precedent of a century and a half, it caused scarcely a ripple of excitement among the students. The about-face change in attitude toward the Carolina coed did not come overnight it has been a long, hard struggle, but nevertheless it has come and undoubtedly is here to stay. For women students are now cordially re ceived on the campus. Although by 1868 the University ex ecutive committee had declared itself in favor of co-education, the trustees shook their heads in . horrified disap proval. Carolina was for the future leaders of North Carolina, and those leaders were to be men. ALDERMAN LEADS So it was not until 1897 that a far- seeing University president, Dr. E. A Alderman, convinced the board of trus tees that women students should be ad mitted for post-graduate work. "Posi graduate" was a clever adjective in serted by. Dr.' Alderman. - As soon; as the ordinance was r passed - he imme-. diatelvi interpreted 1 its to mean that graduates of; any woman's collegein North Carolina' should be admitted to ( Continued on pa fre 4 ', column ) Tar Heel Plans To Publish Out come of Instructor Rating By The Middle Of This Week The professor poll goes into its fourth day today without any serious repercussions and with gratifying re sults. It is reported that one profes sor lectured for 45 minutes on the worth of the poll and considered it to be one of the biggest things to hit the campus in a long time. No reports have been heard from the other side. The dormitories and fraternities are being canvassed as quickly as possible, and if you haven't been approached yet, just have a little patience till the Daily Tar Heel reporter conies arotHL It- i' hoped -that ll the ques tionnaires will be answered by tomor row so that tabulation of returns may begin Thursday. So far, the A's and B's are exceed ing the F's which should serve to al- ay fears in some quarters. All the returns handed in to date indicate a serious attitude on the part of the stu dents rating the professors, and also seems to reveal that they realize that any spiteful or facetious grades would result in an injustice to members of the faculty. Daily Tar Heel representatives will begin collecting the poll sheets from each dormitory and fraternity to morrow. Students are urged to make out their grades for their professors as soon as possible so that the results may be tabulated soon. Ellis Back With New Display of Indian Oddities Traveller Snows Collection In Small Lounge Of Graham Me morial Beginning Tomorrow Joseph Ellis, traveler in the Orient, will display a collection representative of native life in Java, Borneo, Singa pore, and the Dutch East Indies in the small lounge of Graham Memorial beginning tomorrow and continuing throughout the remainder of the week.

Among the unusual specimens he will show are two twin monkeys preserved in alcohol; several sarongs, improvised Java skirts, which Dorothy Lamour made famous in "Hurricane"; skin of a python; a stuffed marmaze, called a golden lion in this country; and sev eral leopard and tiger skins.

Groups Cooperating To Gain Support For Six Jewish Students Paralleling the action of 170 univer sities and colleges over the nation, a campus committee composed of a rep resentative from each of five campus organizations has met to lay plans for having this student body and faculty "adopt" six German refugee students for next year. Approximately $480 is the lowest possible amount necessary to take care of one student for a year. The Inter national Federation of colleges will provide traveling expenses for these students to Chapel Hill. r'To aid six students the committee considers $1800 sufficient The two Jewish fraternities on the campus have promised to provide board and room for two of the refugees, and the Hillel group has raised $200.00, which cover the expenses of one. The Group thinks it will be able to raise an addi tional $200.00. $1400 NEEDED This leaves' at least $1400 to be raised from the campus. The commit tee considers the following organiza tions as the logical ones to be depend ed upon to raise this fund: class funds, Interf raternity council, Interdormitory council, Graham Memorial, YMCA, YWCA, Hillel, Monogram club, Di sen ate, Phi assembly, Woman's associa tion, University faculty, and the Grail. Campaigning among the dormitory and fraternity men will probably be started in order to make each student feel that he was making a direct con tribution to the cause, and the various campus clubs may. take part by mak ing small -pledgesf-'-The committee be lieves that if all sources cooperate and contribute something, the $1400.00 will easily be raised. Harvard, caring for 20 refugees; Chicago, 10; Yale, 10; Texas, 10; and Columbia, 10, are a few of the 170 col leges and universities that, are carry ing out similar work. In North Caro lina Duke, Greensboro College, Wake Forest, WCUNC, State, and Stl Mary's are cooperating. On the student comittee are John Bonner, chairman; Miss Mary Ann Koonce; Miss Janet Messenger; Stu die Ficklen; Tom Keys; and Sid Scho- chet. The faculty committee, ' which will administer funds to the refugees, is composed of D. D. Carroll chair man; F. H. Edmister, treasurer; Mrs. A. T. Bonnell, secretary; H. F. Co mer; H, D; Meyer; Miss Mary Hen derson; E. M. Bernstein; and R. J. M. Hobbs. ' : TOMS IN RECITAL WEDNESDAY NIGHT Concert To Be Given In Hill Music Hall Professor John E.
