President Graham Reiterates House's Stand, Says Whole Thing Is Matter of State Policy By Roland Giduz President Frank Graham yes terday reiterated the stand of Chancellor R. B. House regarding the application of three Negroes to graduate schools here. "This involves a matter of state policy to which the state will give the answer," he stated. "The. University does not mke state policy. The applications will go to the Trustees who are agents of the State Legislature." Names of the three applicants as released by the administration are: Dewey M. Clayton, Timber lake, applicant for the School of Medicine; and Harold Thomas Epps, Asheville, and James R. Walker, Statesville, both' of whom are applying for transfers from the North Carolina College Law school at which they are now students, to the University Law school.

Hayek, Tooke I professor of Economic Science and Statistics in the University of London ,will deliver a public address on the subject "Planning and Reconstruction in Europe' on the evening of Wednesday, April 14 and hold seminar dis cussions for graduate, students in economics and political science on the subsequent Thursday and Friday afternoons. He will also be available for discussions with other groups throughout the four days, April 14-17, of his visit to the Univer sity. Widely Known Professor Hayek is most widely known jn America as the author of "The Road to Serfdom", pub lished in the United States by the University - of Chicago Press in 1944, which became a best sel ler. In reviewing this "book for the "American Economic Review", Professor Aaron, director of the University of Chicago Law school, said, "Economists engaged in im proving our understanding of the competitive system or in sponsoring arrangements wnicn will assure its demise should be grateful to Professor Hayek for taking the time from his major preoccupation with economic an alysis to explore the ultimate po litical implications of abandoning the competitive system. There is no economist writing in English more qualified to do this job. In addition to his unique per (See HAYECK, page 4) the first formal applications to be filed since 1932.

Turned down in his plea for rea sons of poor grades, Hocutt took the case to the Orange County Superior court where the verdict again went against him. As far as could be discovered all three men are applying inde pendently and with the backing of no special group. No stand on the matter is being, taken by the students or administration in Chapel Hill, but authorities stated they have no facts to hide.

He claimed that the trick was done through memory and con centration, and that one of the most difficult parts was forget ting it after each performance. Finds His Check For his demonstration of men tal telepathy, Polgar found, by the use of mental directions from a student, his check for the per formance, hidden in the shoe of coed Janet Crinkley. It was at the suggestion of members of the audience that the object hidden was the check, and if the stunt had. proved unsuccessful, he was to have gone without pay for the show. . Polgar was unable to take the mental directions from his first collaborator, who was thinking in a foreign language, but on the second attempt he located the envelope containing the valuable paper fairly easily. Answers questions Preceeding his demonstration of. hypnotism, Polgar opened the floor to questions from the audi' ence. In answering, a question he insisted that there is no mystery about hypnosis,, that it. is a scien tific process used, in medicine. He also stated that hypnosis could be used, to influence, a person to Pud Peace Conference Will Hear -Concluding Address Tonight - Dr. Ervin P.
