Cherry Backs Educational Separation Raleigh, Feb. 16 (UP) Gov ernor Gregg Cherry signed today j the Southern Governors'' proposal ; calling for establishment of scp- j arate regional professional schools j for whites and Negroes; Cherry said his signature does not commit the state. In fact, it does not commit anybody but i himself. He added that he will I not actually be able to do any- thing toward getting North Car- olina to participate actively in j the plan. He pointed out that the legis lature must put its stamp of ap proval on the plan and must ap propriate funds before the state can join with others in estab lishing regional schools to teach such subjects as veterinary med icine, forestry and dentistry. Cherry added that he won't even be Governor by the time the next legislature meets. Nevertheless, he already stated that he approves the plan in prin ciple. He said the basic reason for it is sound. No one Southern state can afford to build and maintain schools for all types of advanced education that should be made available to its own res idents. "If all the states cooper ate," Cherry said, "the need can be met and the standards will be high." Cherry is the tenth Southern governor to approve the tenta tive plan. He will send the pro posal to Governor William Tuck of Virginia tomorrow. The regional schools will not become a reality until legisla tures of six Southern states have approved and the Congress of the United States has given its con sent: Phi to Discuss U. S.

' Champion of Them All Dr. Frank Receives Generous Welcome Home By Chuck Hauser In weatlTer so balmy that the top was down on a Plymouth convertible across the street, Dr. Frank Porter Graham walked out on his front porch and waved his hand in friendly greeting to the hundreds of students stand ing on his front lawn at 5:15 Sun day afternoon. "Let's go, Dr. Frank, welcome home!"' rang down sunny Frank lin street where cars were lined up injows in front of the Great er University president's stately white-pillared home. With a procession from Y court led by Cheerleader Jerry Pence, and the University band playing under the direction of Earl S locum, the crowd of approxi mately 500 students marched to the strains of "Onward Christian Soldiers" down Raleigh street to Dr. Graham's house and up on his lawn.

Student ,body President Tom Eller went up the steps and shook Dr. Graham's hand, as the beloved educator was heard to say, "Glad to see you. . .you are still president, aren't you?. . . Well, I guess we're both still president, -then. . ." As banners proclaiming "Wel come, Dr. Frank" waved in the background, Eller spoke on be half of the student body. "It is a tradition of the Caro lina student body to welcome its champions regardless of victory or defeat. Today, however, it is our distinct privilege to welcome home the champion of them all. Dr. Frank Porter Graham." "Great lo Be Back" "I appreciate deeply this gen erous welcome," Dr. Graham answered. "It is great to be back in Chapel Hill, for there is no place quite like it.

"The Rest of My Life" "I have to go back to the Uni ted Nations tomorrow afternoon to finish my reports, but I hope I can come back here soon for the rest of my life." Dr. Graham has been in Indon esia for the last two months with a Good Offices commission of the Security council of the United Nations, and he aided in the Jan uary 17 truce:signing in the Ba tavia, Java, bay which ended the Dutch Indonesian warfare. He left Chapel Hill on October 5, 1947.

Convertible Weather Raleigh. Hai Pulled Down According to students who re cognized him on the bus, the Uni versity president was apparently attempting to be as unrecogniz able as possible, with his hat pulled down over his forehead. Asked after the rally Sunday whether or not he had to stand up on the bus, Dr. Graham an swered by admitting that it was crowded. "Yes, I had to stand up part of the way, but there was a young fellow who looked like he was go ing .to be very uncomfortable if I didn't take his seat, so I sat down," he chuckled. Tom Eller told the Daily Tar Heel yesterday that he wished to express his personal thanks to Cheerleader Jerry Pence for the word he had done during the rally, and to extend grateful ap preciation to Band Director Earl Slocum for . his part in the de monstration. "I would also like to thank the students and band members who participated in the rally for their splendid spirit," Eller said.

The issue at stake is. whether or not the campus has at Publications Men Gird) Observations OrtMagaririd Mote With the first campus-wide ref erendum ever to. bo . held under the student . constitution sched uled for today, publications men and politicians have ; joined the average student to watch eagerb for the result. Concensus among those who would 'commpnt yesterday was that a small vote will mirror the opinion of less than half the stu dents. ' .' - . Jacobson Wants Combo Editor Fred, Jacobson of the Carolina Magazine declared, "We of the Carolina magazine ask tint all students vote tomorrow. I personally am going to vote for a combination magazine, because I believe it will be the most eco nomical and practical solution, but I ask that each student vote absolutely as he pleases so that the result' of the referendum will satisfy the campus at large. . Hodgson Opposed Tookie Hodgson Of Tarnation stated, "A combination is. a de vice instituted by Carolina Mag azine partisans to eliminate the competition offered by Tarnation. It has been advanced by Tom El ler, a person who is in no wise qualified to offer legislation on publications. It is Tarnation's be lief that Eller's opposition to Tar nation stems from a profile writ ten about him which he evidently did ;not think befitted, his presi dential dignity. If the students Want A humor mag, they had bet ter vote for one tomorrow or else become reconciled to-the fact that they will, become stepping stones for the grandiose and rather stul tifying advance of puerile prose and , ponderous, platitudes por trayed in the pulp pages of a publication pubescent people ponder in private otherwise known as the Carolina Magazine." : Except for Hodgson and Pub lications board treasurer Ed (See PUBLICATIONS, page 4) Yack Staff Proves a Little Effort Goes a Long Way as Records Fall By John Stump Records have fallen all over'ii - the Yackety Yack office this year as a small task force of students have worked to, in the words of picture co-ordinator Bill Dun can, "give Carolina the biggest, best, most colorful annual she has ever had."- But the work and the records that haven't gotten into the pa pers are the ones set up by the business staff. This year's staff, according to manager Dick Gor don, has been the most success ful in recent history. A few of their achievements arc: most advertising sold in a decade, almost $3,000 in bad debts collected, and an excess of in come of $400 oyer the budgeted amount. The problems faced by this year's business ' staff have been finding and operating more ef ficient ways to solicit advertis ing, making the advertising copy of interest to the. reader, and making the proposition pay. As yet, it is not known wheth er or not the Yack has made, a profit this year. However, if they have been able to do so, Gordon declares that the credit for the achievement belongs to Betsy Anne Barbee, Betty Vashaw, Ted Fussel and Jay Colvard. . These four students sold ad vertising all over the eastern part of the state, and in Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Durham. In ChapeJ Hill, they present the type and number of magazines it wants and needs. The student body was called upon in May of 1916 to ratify iti constitution, in May of 1947 to amend that document, and today voters arc again being given the chance to express a direct voico in the government of the cam pus. Polling Places The four regular campus poll ing places will be open fat Gc,t rard hall, Ay cock dormitory, Le nojr hall, and Alderman dormi tory. Official University identi fication cards will be necessary to obtain a ballot. Six choices will be listed to pick from: (1) Carolina Maga zine, (2) Tarnation, (3) Caro lina Magazine and Tarnation as they now exist, (4) A combina tion publication to be named the Carolina Magazine, (5) Alternat ing issues of the Carolina Mag azine and Tarnation, (6) No magazine at all. Called by Legislature The referendum was called by the Student Legislature in an act passed during the January 22 session. The bill states that un less the "No magazine" choice receives a majority of votes, tho Legislature will abide by the top vote-getter of the other five in drawing up the 1943-49 campus budget. The following persons vote in Gerrard hall: Residents of Carr, Smith, coeds not in dorms, Steele, BVP, Old Lzzi, Old West, Nash, Miller, Whitehead, men in fraternity houses, men in town, Victory Village, Pittsboro road trailer camp. Aycock dormitory: Residents of Aycock, Graham, Stacy, Ev erett, Lewis, Quonset huts, Alex ander. Lenoir hall: Residents of Man- gum, Manley, Cirimes, Itunm, Emerson field house, Fctzer field house. Alderman dormitory: Residents of Alderman, Mclvcr, Kenan, Spencer. 12:00 ftnvinced reluctant merchants that over $1,000 worth of adver tising would pay. When the results were tallied, the advertising sold was consid erably in excess of the pages al lotted to that part of the book. However, the board of editors, Gene Johnstone, Harold Bursley, and Ruth Evans, far from dis pleased, allotted an additional eight pages to the successful salesmen. Office work on the publication has been handled by Gordon and Carter Taylor. They have mailed more than 200 letters, arranged for the extra 8 pages of adver tising, and placed snapshots in the advertising section to make it more interesting to the reader. When the business section of the book was mailed yesterday, the work was just beginning .for Taylor and Gordon. They must collect from the 50 per cent of this year's advertisers' and page holders' bills which are still out and complete the work of audit ing the book. When asked last night for com ment on the record of his staff, Gordon was unreserved in his praise of them. He declared, "This year the job of Yack business manager has been immeasurably lightened by the best and hard est working five people with whom I have ever associated." That opinion would seem to be borne out by the record.
