D. Carmichael yesterday. The $18,417,846 request was to complete permanent additions, which lack funds for completion and for new facilities at the Uni versity out of a total of $45,696, 325. The' first round took place this summer when an improve ment commission made up of the board of trustees surveyed the campus at Chapel Hill and other branches of the Greater Uni versity for its needs and require ments. The completion of hospital, library and utilities facilities head the list of buildings yet to be completed. And with a $47,000 lequest made for improved laun dry equipment and building .the total sum was $4,997,779. New requests totaling $13,420,- CC7 was made for permanent structures which included a School of Commerce building, addition to the Law building, 3 new dorms similar to the ones recently completed and a new Institute of Government build ing, as well as other classroom and laboratory- facilities for the science departments. On interests to the University I is the projected Journalism build ing which will require $338,750 which includes the structure, as well as the needed equipment. The statistics showing the ex penditures and receipts of the University reveal that there is an estimated drop of severity percent in receipts from veterans. Receipts from veterans in 1948 1949 were estimated at $1,140, 205, and for the next fiscal year i they are estimated at $424,800. Normal operating funds of $2,562,783 was requested in order to balance out the expected drop in receipts resulting from a de cline in veterans receipts, utili ties, increasing costs, salary and wage increases (unanimously agreed to by the trustees) and other declines in receipts such cis gifts and endowments. A. H. Shepard, assistant business man ager of the University said that one of the reasons for the utili ties decrease is the feet that al though salaries and wage rates are expected to be raised there will be no increase of utilities rate to further the up-spiralling cost of living. It is also reported that there will be an average decrease of students of about 150 each year bringing the total en rollment to 7000 students. Old Story CHARLOTTE.

Madow Says Gallup Must 'Learn to Pick the Right Way' By Edna'Dooley and Lincoln Kan The independent voter claimed by public opinion polls to have swung the election is poll failure. That is tne opinion oi ur. wn . . - TTT.'I liam G. Madow, statistician of the University Mathematics de partment. "Dr. Gallup has been slipping in recent years. His polls have proportionately increased in descrepancy." said Madow. Madow was in agreement with Dr. V. O. Keyes, chairman of Johns Hopkins Political Science department in that sampling methods were the basic causes for the failure of the pollsters to prognosticate correctly. Madow said, "Polls are machines and as machines must not and cannot be operated at the whim of the pollster or the interviewer." Dr. Madow gave three reasons why the public opinions were so far off base: j 1. "An interviewer is told to get so many representatives from a certain class. There is no as surance that he will get true ones, because there is a tendency on I the part of the interviewer who is usually a college graduate to ask the cleaner, neater farmers or laborers. In other words, it is left up to his discretion whom to interview. 2. "Another reason is that it has been ten years since the last census was taken and there has been a change in the propor tion of people to be interviewed as representing these classes which may have, been taken by polling experts. 3. "Too little polling has been done in such places as the North Carolina hills. Dr. Madow disagreed with Dr. Keyes in that the correction to future polls lies not in one in come bracket as Keyes suggested. In all income brackets there must be an improvement in sampling technique. Any attempt to im prove the technique will neces sitate a very expensive survey of the proportion of people in vari ous income groups and the train ing of better interviewers. As far as the over-estimation of Wallace strength was concerned, Dr. Madow said, "Wallace had strength until the issues were clear.

Childress, replying to Williams charge in yesterday's Daily Tar Heel, stated, "In its plan to prose cute Thurman Williams for neg ligence in his duty as chairman Huge Crowd Welcomes President Truman Arrives In Washington ' WASHINGTON, Nov.-5 (UP) Nearly a million Washington- ians roared a welcome to Harry S. Truman today when he came home winner in the presidential wars. It had been a different story 12 days ago when he left here on his final campaign tour, a lonely figure almost forsaken by those who didn't care to cheer a "sure loser." It was a happy but humble man who rode in triumph from the railroad station up the "Ave nue of Presidents" to the White House waving his hat and smil ing at the milling, .. exuberant throngs that shouted "you show ed 'em, Harry." . If the president remembered that only a handful of those same people had bothered to see him off, he kept the though to him self. "Thank you very much," he told the enormous crowd in an impromptu speech from the White House steps. "I can't tell you how very much I appreciate I this warm and cordial welcome. It makes a man study and wonder whether he is worthy of the confidence, worthy of the re sponsibility which has been thrust upon him." It was Harry Truman's big day and he seemingly had no wish to rub it in, or to scorn fair weather friends. He never stopped smiling from the moment when his "victory special" backed into union sta tion, promptly at 11 a.m., EST, with President standing only with secret service men on the rear platform. Lenior Alumni Meet In Kinston Barbecue and a talk by Victor Bryant, chairman of the Trustees Visiting committee, highlighted the election night meeting of the Lenoir county University alumni chapter in Kinston.

UP Not In Issue, States Childress of the rules committee, the Stu dent party has made no mention of the University party. Mr. Wil liams dismissal of the charges as mudslinging against the UP' will not stand up as a defense for his actions." "The Student party severly criticizes certain members of the UP for their continual absense from the legislature,"- he con tinued, "however, at the moment we are not blaming them, but rather Mr. Williams for his neg ligence.

I uzecn Arms nare Reply Declared 'Unsatisfactory' Continue Running Guns To Israeli WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. (UP) The State department disclosed today that Czechoslovakia has delivered an "entirely unsatis factory" reply to an American request that Czech authorities halt illegal arm shipments to Israeli forces. A department spokesman said the Czech government did not deny that such arms traffic was going on. He added that the Czech reply was "entirely un satisfactory and evasive." Other quarters said that, de spite the American request, the shipments are continuing. Student Pets Who Go To Class To Be Checked Students who take their dogs to class were requested yesterday afternoon by the local SPCA group to ascertain whether or not their instructors objected to the pets before carrying them into various classrooms. The request was made after numerous objections had been received from various depart ments on campus complaining about "stray" dogs in such build ings as Saunders, Caldwell and Bingham. It is believed, however, that the dogs are not actually strays, but are pets of students in class. Therefore, to prevent further complaints, students should get permission before allowing their dogs to enter buildings. Dog owners were urged again to buy proper tags of identifica tion for the pets, in order to pre vent their being picked up and carried to the city pound as "strays." The pick-up drive will be conducted next week, SPCA leaders pointed out. The drive will not be carried out in an effort to take any dogs away from students, but rather to prevent any of the pets from freezing or starving to death dur ing the winter months. A fine of $2.50 is charged any owner whose dog is carried to the pound by local authorities. call meetings of his committee to ascertain if their absences were excusable or not. In no case has he done so. "Jack Worsham, legislature clerk, may be at fault for not having records xat the present time for the first three legislature meetings, however, after talking with him and hearing his ex planation, I do not feel he is to be blamed. If Mr. Williams had made an attempt to get the list of absentees from Worsham af ter the meetings, he would have done so. It should be pointed out too, that Mr. Williams him self has been absent from the last two meetings without any feasible excuse." The Tar Heels have been in- stalled as heavy favorites, with many observers raiing oacn Carl Snavely's charges 27 points A 1 better than the visiting Indians. But the game probably will turn out to be a much tighter battle than the odds indicate. Carolina will be seeking to continue its great two-year record of 13 straight wins, and William and Mary would like nothing better than to snap the Tar Heel victory streak. It will be remem bered that this string of 13 wins was begun against the Indians a little more than a year ago. Caro lina won that contest, 13-6, in Williamsburg, Va. Indian Record Thus far the Indians haven't enjoyed a particularly successful year. On the basis of the 1947 season, in which they lost but one game, the visitors were re garded as one of the South's strongest teams in pre-season pre dictions. But already the Indians have been defeated by Wake Forest, 21-12; and St. Bonaven ture, 7-6. Carolina romped over Wake Forest, 28-6, in the only game which serves as a basis of com parison between the locals and Indians. Both clubs ran into stiff com petition this past weekend be fore coming through with ex pected victories. Carolina march ed to a pair of early touchdowns and then staved off Tennessee's determined Vols, 14-7, in a rug ged battle in Knoxville. William & Mary also experienced dif ficulty in subduing Richmond, 14-6. On Rebound Neither Tennessee nor Rich mond have particularly good teams this season, so both Caro lina and William & Mary should be on the rebound after' their close calls of the past weekend. Despite the none-too-impressive performance against Tennessee, Carolina was able to hang onto third place in the Associated Press national grid ratings for the past week. Notre Dame, which plays Indiana today, and Michi gan, which meets ,Navy, were the two teams ahead of Caro lina. A crowd of 40,000 is expect ed to turn out for the local game today. Coach Carl Snavely is taking no chance of his Tar Heels fall ing victims of over-confidence. The team tapered off to light qrills yesterday, but prior to that the three previous workouts were considered the roughest of the season. The Carolina mentor worked his outfit long and hard, with the lights of Navy field being turned on nearly every evening to afford a longer practice period. Injury Problem . Four Tar Heels are slated to miss the game because of injuries. But they have already been out for several weeks. Those on the ailing list are Ted Hazelwood, (See RODGERS, CLOUD, page 3), Who Does? WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (UP) An elderly woman put down her newspaper, turned to her companion on the but and said: "I can't beliey the polls any more. I don't even know whether to trust the Kinsey report."
