Governor Cherry, in whose of fice the meeting today was held, had commented a week ago that, "I don't believe the trustees have any authority to pass on the ques tion. In my opinion, it is a legis lative matter." The three Negro applications which were reviewed by the com mittee were submitted approxi mately two months ago by Jamos Walker of Statesville and Har old Thomas Epps of Asheville, law students at North Carolina college in Durham, and Dewey M. Clayton, III, of Timbcrlakc. Walker and Epps applied for admission to the University Law school on the grounds that North Carolina college is not recognized by the American Bar association. Clayton wishes to enter the Uni versity Medical school. The trustees today also named a new head of the University De partment of Mathematics. He is Dr. William M. Wyburn, presi dent of Texas Tech. Dr. Wyburn, who is replacing Dr. Archibald Henderson, will begin his duties at Chapel Hill September 1 at a salary of $8,000 per year. The board directed Attorney General Harry McMullan and J. C. B. Ehringhaus to draw up a compromise agreement for th; $500,000 dispute over the fa rrn over-charged in intrastate rail traffic during the war years. Reynard Alias 'Radar7 Campus Head Dog Disappears; Thought to Be in Hoosegow By Jim Dickinson Was Reynard, alias Radar, campus head dog, actually whis ked away to jail at 1:30 o clock Sunday morning? Evolving from that question was a two-fold mystery Sunday as Radar's supporters sought to find out if the chief of dogs was guilty of the crime with which he was charged, that of nibbling a chunk from the leg of an un suspecting night watchman. Is on Its Way times in New York, including a six weeks engagement at the "Rainbow Room." He met and married actress Marion Tatum, and in 1942, he returned to Chapel Mill, where he became a staff member of the Playmakers, and teaches acting, dance, and directing. For two summers he has been the dance choreographer for Paul Green's "The Lost Colony" at Manteo, and he has danced the feature role of The Indian chief, Opowac, in the production. . "The biggest problem in direct ing 'Cyrano de Bergerac'," he says, "is the large cast of livng scenery characters' who set the background for the leading fig ures. There are several of these crowd scenes and a battle scene. ,because that is the" kind of directing that I like best." Winniag Students To Be Recognized At Awards Night The annual Awards Night pro gram, at which students with out standing records in scholarship and extra-cui TRulrir activities will r pmrntod citations, prizes and medals fur the year ending, will be held in Hill hull tomor row night at 7: J 5. Following music by tlie Uni versity band, President Frank P. Graham will make a short tnlk, after which Chancellor Robert B House will take over as chairman for the. presentation of the prizes and medals. Among the outstanding award to be made are the John J. Par ker, Jr., medal for leadership, the Algernon Sydney Sullivan service award, and the Ernest H. Abernethy Publications award, all of which will be presented by Dean of Students E. L.

A. Fetzer; the Kay Kysef scholar ships in music and drama, and the Frederick H. Koch scholar ship, and Carolina Playmakc-r mask awards, lo be presented by Director Samuel Selden. UP MEETING The University party Steering committee will meet at; 3 o'clock this afternoon in Graham Memo rial. They wondered at the same time if maybe Radar was "taken for a ride'' in a conspiracy which would automatically boost Geor ge, number 2 dog, into head posi- ,tion. It all started werks and weeks ago when Dan the Dog disappear ed again in still another yet un solved mystery. At that time it was necc::sary to award Dan'." post to a dog of proven leader ship, poise, ie:;ponsibihty, and peace-making ability. Radar, boasting a record of seniority and unqucr-tiorabh ca nine quality, barely nosed out George and Eig'un, the two near est contenders. Big'un held the number 1 post during the sum mer session last year in Dan's ab:;f rice. Many of George's supporters thought, at the time that their favorite was the victim of a dirty deal. The Sunday morning epi sode, by a similar token, leads several Radarites to believe that foul play took place in the dead of night. As it stand?. George has taken over the driver's seat pending iRad'ar's return. His fans are boasting that Radar "has been taken care of." Others report that. Radar is in confinement for a week or two in a dog hospital as insurance that the night watchman was not "mad-dog bit." Only one thing remains as dead fact. Radar was gently de posited in the back seat of a morning and remoVcd to an un- disclosed destination.
