Lefier's name with a kiss of non indelible lipstick. This marks the first time that Dr. Lefier's rating has been in the red. The rest of the professors received less colorful grades, the marks remain ing fairly consistent. Dr. Zimmerman held his early lead over the other mem bers of the faculty with a preponder ance of "A's" and B's"; Several hygiene instructors came through with flying "E's" and "F's" and some side com ments that cannot be reproduced here. UNTIMELY END Yesterday the tabulations were brought to an untimely end for the day by the Grill's own Sam Morton who announced that the tables were needed for a banquet at 5 o'clock. Thus, the 42 cardboard sheets had to be taken up and put to rest for another day, allowing the Feature board members to knock off work and take in the ball game.

At 8 O'clock TAFT ENGAGEMENT TO SPEAK FOR CPU IS CALLED OFF National Crisis Forces Senator To Cancel Date Senator Robert A. Taft yesterday notified the Carolina Political union that because of the crisis in national affairs he will be unable to appear on its platform here' this month. After announcing Taft's decision, Voit Gilmore, chairman of the union, stated that, because of the crowded campus schedule for the remainder of the quarter, his group would under take no more programs. Following the election of new CPU officers next week, plans for next year's program of speakers will be begun at once, uumore saia. iromment men scheduled to speak here for the union during the past two quarters, but who were interrupted by unexpected events included Boake Carter, Treasury Un dersecretary John , W. Hanes, Jan Masaryk, Alf Landon, William Allen White, and Secretary of Interior Ickes. MAYBE NEXT YEAR S Gilmore said yesterday that corres pondence with all in the group who failed to come shows their willingness to visit Chapel Hill during the next school year if conditions are favorable. The fact that 1939-40 is a pre-election year will increase the opporunities for having political spokesmen, he said. In addition, there are a number of other prominent statesmen and diplomats who will be asked to speak for the CPU. The union is compelled to suit its schedule to the convenience of its speakers and frequently to suffer the inconvenience of broken engagements because of the fact that it pays neither honoraria nor expenses to its guests. For that reason, too, Gilmore said, it is generally difficult to get a speaker, of the calibre the union seeks, to com mit himself to a definite date more than three weeks in advance. Placement Director Announces Vacancies S. W. J. Welch, director of the Uni versity Placement bureau, announced yesterday that the Mutual Life Insur ance company of New York and the Auto Finance company of Charlotte jiiave vacancies w oe iuiea Dy college 1 " x "I- y n i l n students. n Students whose homes are in the vicinity of New York are requested to drop by Welch's office for further de tails.
