Phi Praises Graham's Services; Gives Him Vote Of Confidence By Gordon Huffines Expressing confidence in Dr. Frank Graham as president of the Greater University of North Carolina, the Phi assembly pass ed Tuesday night, by a vote of i 45-3, a resolution stating -that the University Board of Trustees has no justification for any attempts to remove the famous educator I from office. There was no direct opposition I 1 .f fot-orl tn Vio Phi Kill f mm this J flnnp ac mpmhprs.nf thf asspm- i bly expressed themselves in fa vor of Dr. Graham's policies and praised his service to the Uni versity and nation. The presi dent's membership in the "Communist-branded" Southern Con gress for the Advancement of Human Welfare, and his actions in protecting certain communist momKorc in this state, one Uni versity faculty member, were questioned by a minority of the repicot;iitcii.ivca, nunc vmuui 4 directly attacked his policies. ! Vice-Presidency In view of a recent rumor that Dr. Graham is being considered for the 1948 vice-presidential nomination by the Democratic party, several representatives took the stand that the Univer sity head could best serve his I country by devoting his lull time to national affairs. Rep. Bill Duncan expressed Gammage Elected Sound and Fury Prexy; Thomas Handles Vice-Presidential Spot By Paul Ilothman Ken Gammage was elected to fill the Doug-Gardner-vacated president's post during Sound and Fury's initial meeting of the quarter Tuesday night. Gammage, an ATO, is typical of the officers elected in that he, l as risen in the ranks of the or fjanization within a short period -f time. After joining the group lust summer, the new president gained in popularity with the other members as a result of his efforts in the well known "Blip" sk.it, publicity for the fall fresh man night show, and the role of co-author of "Gin Lane'." Thomas Elected Tommy Thomas, another of Sound and Fury's new members, Has voted to fill the newly crea ted office of vice-mesident. Thomas, who began his career in the group by heading the "Gin Lane" work shop and taking a leading role in the same play, is now writing part of a production scheduled for next quarter. Both old and new were conv bined to take Nancy Tucker's tlare as secretary-treasurer. The . 'tv is represented by Faith , . .dams nhr. pWlPri secre- tary." Faith, a Tri Celt, joined belief that, in light of Dr. Graham's long service to the na tion, especially as a member of the War Labor Relations board under Franklin D. Roosevelt, the renowned educator could have advanced to an important posi tion in national politics had he not remained loyal to the Uni versity. Unfounded Attacks Speaker-pro-tem John Giles, who introduced the bill before the assembly, stated that the board of trustees has been trying since 1933, to oust Dr. Graham from the presidency mainly on the grounds that his numerous tours of duty for the U. S. gov ernment have interfered with his duties as head of the Greater University. He added that attacks directed against Dr. Graham, criticizing him of holding leftist views, are unfounded. CP to Meet The Campus party will meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock in Graham Memorial's Roland Par-1 ker lounge No. 2 to discuss party organization and candidates for the spring elections. The meet ing will be limited to one hour and all party members are asked to be present. the musical-comedy players last quarter when she took the femi nine lead in "Gin Lane." Jerry Weiss, now treasurer, represents the old, for he has done programs and publicity for Sound and Fury ever since its post-war re vival. Utterly Unoriginal Before the elections the mem bers discussed plans for "Roll Them Over," an intimate review that is tentatively scheduled for the latter part of next month. The authors, whose names are withheld by request, state that the work will be "completely and utterly unori ginal." Plans for a spring per formance were also discussed. The group approved drawings of a Sound and Fury merit key oresented by Ken Gammage, but requirements for the key have not yet been established. Also left on the agenda was the appointment of committee members. It was agreed that regular business meetings will be held in Gerard hall at 7:30 every Tuesday night, at which time all persons -wishing to partici- ,;1.pnmprlv WOIK paie in will be cordially welcomed. Pointing out the fact that Dr. Graham had served on the staff of the University since 1913, ex cept for the time he served in the Marine corps in the first World War, Rep. George Rod man stated that the University president was as much a part of this school as the old well, the Y court, or Dan the Dog. The Phi, assembling for the first time this quarter, inaugura ted new officers of the assembly at which time Speaker Chester D. zum Brunnen delivered his inaugural address. New members Mae Belle Enman and Graham Jones were also initiated into the society in a candlelight ceremony.

Moore, chief of the state's auto inspection program. He stated that there is absol utely no need for drivers to worry provided their vehicles are able to pass the requirements of the state's new "Anti-jalopy" law. 36 portable inspection lanes have been obtained for use throughout the state in the in spection program.

Council Vetoes Debating Credit Debate council president Earl Fitzgerald announced yes terday that a proposal to place intramural debating on a year ly point system received a "thumbs down" disapproval from the Intramural council Tuesday night. The intramural managers considered the pro posal at a meeting in Woollen gymnasium. Although the council voted against coordination of a de bate program into intramurals : and awarding points in com petition, the managers agreed to help the Debate council se cure teams and to create stu dent interest in forensic acti vities. Chief proponents for the move, which the DTH editori ally called "advisable" and "worthwhile", are Fitzgerald and Randall McLeod, members of the Debate council.

The World War I Secretary of the Navy went to bed with a severe cold after attending church on January 4. His illness soon developed into bronchitis, and then pneumonia set in.

A two point measure, it differs somewhat from the President's original plan although it calls for the cost of living" tax credit for all taxpayers which Mr. Truman suggested. However, it proposes to off set this loss by a 75 per cent ex cess profits tax on the nation's corporations, most of whom are now carrying a large portion of the tax load. According to the President's suggestion, the loss would have been made up from the regular corporate taxes. Dingell introduced I his bill shortly after conferring with the President. The Michigan Demo crat, a member of the House's taxwriting Ways and Means committee, claims that his bill would affect less than 22,000 ofj the country's 360,000 incorpora ted enterprises. House Republican leaders have already given notice that they want no part of such a bill. They are planning to go ahead with their own bill for relief through a . general income tax cut.

Both of the outstanding legis lators, Long of the Student party and House of the University party, were planning to resign from the Legislature because of heavy loads of academic and other work, but on the request of student body President Tom Eller both are continuing in their legislative capacities. Very Encouraging "It is very encouraging," Eller stated yesterday, "to hear that Charlie Long and Ernest House are remaining in the Legislature. Both men deserve a great deal of credit for contributing so much time and work for the benefit of campus government. They represent just about all that is left of the Old Finance committee of the Legislature, and are singularly valuable." Even with political whips Long and House present, how ever, tonight's session does not promise to be an exciting one. Agenda Listed The following is the agenda as listed by Speaker Jack Folger: 1. Installation of new mem bers; 2. Election of following of ficers: Speaker pro tempore, clerk, parliamentarian, sergeant at arms, chairman of committees: Ways and Means, Elections, Fi nance, Rules. 3.

Problems Arising from Secret Marriage Almost Insurmountable, Says Groves By Sally Woodhull Stressing the necessity for emotional maturity before mar riage, Mrs. Ernest R. Groves, vice-president of the American Association of Marriage Coun selors, spoke Tuesday night in Hill hall on ''Campus Problems and Dating." Sponsored by the Coed Sen ate for the student body in gen eral, Tuesday night's lecture was the first of two which Mrs. Groves will deliver. Next Tues day at 7:30 in Hill hall she will talk on problems immediately preceeding marriage, with special emphasis on the engagement period. Gibson Is Selected Mag Managing Editor & fM vr: r r-i CHARLIE GIBSON Donovan Praises Friendship Group "Let me express our sincere thanks to you and the students of your department of journal ism for your splendid coopera tion and most generous contribu tion," wrote John Donovan, as sistant to Sponsor Drew Pearson of the nation-wide Friendship Train drive, to Chancellor R. B. House yesterday. Donovan acknowledged the re ceipt of $737.50 as a result of the November 19-26 campaign of Lawrence T. McQueen's Friend ship Train committee, and said the money had been spent to purchase milk and 'flour for the needy peoples of France and Italy. Queen s committee, composed of students in John McReynold's journalism class, sent its dona tion to Columnist Pearson through Chancellor House's of fice. Dating is one way in which the emotional maturity necessary for marriage may be secured, Mrs. Groves said, and she ex plained various emotional blocks which may prevent one from da ting. Though a wide dating ex perience is valuable in learning to choose one's marriage mate, Mrs. Groves mentioned several cases in which popular young people had made poor marriages. Emphasizing the fact that mar riage should never be entered in to as an escape from anything, rs. Groves said that marriage is not an easier way of life. Secret marriages, she said, are never advisable, for the difficulties a rising are almost insurmountable. Following her lecture, Mrs Groves answered questions from the audience. She also announced that she was available for per sonal counseling at any time. Barbara Cashion, speaker of the Coed Senate, has announced that questions to be put to Mrs. Groves at next week's lecture may be placed in a question box in the Y information office be fore the lecture.
