Rumor Says Graham
May Lose Presidency
The oft-recurring rumor that Dr. Frank Porter Graham is
on his way out as president of the Greater University of
North Carolina has appeared again, according to Roulhac
flamtlton, Jr., head of the Washington bureau of the Durham
Morning Herald.
Hamilton reported from Wash
ington that rumors reaching
there from North Carolina sug
gested that Dr. Graham, often
accused of leftist tendencies, had
possibly put the last straw on
the back of the well-known
camel when he added his name
to the list of signers of the anti
segregation report released by
President Truman's Civil Rights
commission.
Document Displeases bf line
Reports indicate, said Hamil
ton, that the Board of Trustees
and other influential people con
nected with the University were
displeased over the controversial
document which criticized racial
conditions in the South.
The rumor continues that in
fluential people in the state were
irked recently when the House
Un-American Activities commit
tee and the Justice department
recently released their list of
"subversive" groups in the coun
try, several of which Dr. Graham
either belongs to or has sided.
One reliable source, continued
Hamilton, even went so far as to
say that an attempt had already
been made within the Board of
Trustees to either oust Dr.
Graham or to publicly reprimand
him, but that the move failed be
cause it ivas instigated by the
"wrong man." The identity of the
"wrong man" was not revealed.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1943
publication issued by the Orange
print shop.
Features of the new issue are
i "Salute To Humor" by Charlie
Gibson and "The Postman Rings
Twice," a defense of the mag
policies outlined by editor Fred
Jacobson.
Gibson's article, written after
research into past ventures into
the humor mag situation at
Carolina, does not mention the
current one. However, mag
sources indicate that it is inten
ded to salute Tarnation and in
the words of Jacobson "to send
it on its happy way."
"The Postman Rings Twice '
was written according to Jacob
son in answer to "one of the best
criticisms of mag policy yet re
ceived here." the Answer points
out that the mag serves as a
lab for campus journalists, and
(mag staffers believe) should
explain the mag's policy and
situation to its critics.
"We do not receive the type
of stories handed in to the Satur
day Evening Post" Jacobson ex
plained, "and if such are written
on this campus they probably go
to the Post, not to us."
This issue also includes a re
print of the Daily Tar Heel con
demnation of the "My five year
old daughter could do better
school" of modern art with its
defense. Conducted by Don
Shields with an assist from
James Moon, the article is an at
tempt to explain modern art to
the average student.

Rendezvous Open
Under New Set-Up
In Student Union
The improved Rendezvous
room opened yesterday after
noon at its old stand in the base
ment of Graham memorial with
wnai uivi curecior am onuiora
described as an empnasis on in
formality as its keynote.
Chief new features of the
room are decoration in the Caro
lina blue and white colors, open-
ing of a game room at the north
end, and the addition of more
'sofas and chairs at the smith PnH
1 . Shuford has taken over , th
management after what Tag
Montague .chairman of the GM
board of directors described as
"operation at a deficit" caused
a change to be made. The new
managerial set-up will put the
Rendezvous under the direct con
trol of the board instead of the
indirect control under which it
operated last quarter.
The room's hours will not be
affected by the change. It will
open at 2 o'clock each afternoon
and close at the end of the coed
day 11 o'clock on week-days, 1
o'clock on week-ends, and mid
night on Sunday nights.
Game room facilities will be
available to the students every
afternoon, under the supervision
of Graham memorial recreation
director Nancy Tucker. The room
will have dart boards, ping pons
tables, and all of the game.;
available at the main check
room. In addition to the addition ofj
informal furniture the main
room will continue to have 'i
juke box available at all hoursj
and will occasionally have ai
small orchestra to provide the
music.
Shuford, who plans to remain
in charce of the room until a
new manager is selected by th
board, is substituting pa.ckagec
sandwiches for those previously
sold. Reason given for this
chance is the difficulty of con
forming to sanitary board stand
arcls.
