The committee, formed by graduate school Dean W. W. Pierson, Jr., at the request of Chancellor R. B. House yester day, plans to hold "a series of meetings," according to Pierson, to get at the facts of the case. History Head Informed Chancellor House stated yes terday morning that he had ask ed the dean of the graduate school to see that an investiga tion was made and that, "I have informed the head of the history department of this action." In the meantime, Bernstein has issued a statement to. the effect that he is definitely withdrawing from the University, but at the time he delivered this decision in the Daily Tar Heel office hz had not heard of Dean Pierson's action. Dr. A. R. Newsome, head of the history department and Bigner of the letter recommend ing Bernstein's withdrawal, had no comment to make last night. Substantiated - In his statement yesterday af ternoon, Bernstein said, "I feci that my charge that political and religious discrimination were in volved. . . .is fully substantiated by Dr. Newsome's statements. . .

Norman Cordon, first North Carolinian ever to sing with the Metropolitan Opera company reminisced cheerily about his student experiences during .the 1920s as he surveyed the grey, damp campus from the steps of South yesterday morning. "I think I roomed in Steele the first year it was open for students," he mused. "And South; that was a dormitory, too, when I was here.

The issue, as I see it, . is not what was the whole : rea son but whether a student's re ligion and politics may properly be considered at all in arriving at a decision whether to allow him to continue graduate work."

During the night no one heard the house guest arise, dress and go through almost every room in the house.

He had sung over 105 different roles at the Metropolitan in over 700 per formances before he resigned to take a leading role in last year's Broadway operetta "Street Scene," a production which also featured Anne Jeffreys of Golds boro and Hollywood and was im mensely popular with the New York critics. The noted singer said that since the show's closing he has been concentrating on concert appearances, like his current tour.

Leaders Ask News On Graham Status Student representatives a t their meeting last Friday night with .the trustees' visiting com mittee asked that the student body be kept abreast of any trus tee moves in regards to Dr. Frank Graham, Tom Eller, leader of the student delegation at the session, said yesterday. Eller said the trustees assured them that this would be done. The student body president also said the stu dent group went on record as favoring the retaining of Dr. Graham in his presidential capa city. Discussion in the group cen tered around the problems of housing, overtaxed faculty, crowded classrooms, . and eat ing conditions. The student group pointed out the sore spots in the housing problem, specifically the conditions in the quonset huts and Miller and Nash dormitoris. Service in the Lenoir hall cafe terias could be improved, they noted, and a policy of better manangement be instituted. Eller said the trustee commit tee seemed to favor plans to set up dormitory stores and social rooms. "They didn't seem to think that the Umstead act was a prohibi tive factor here," he concluded.
