"The House has been located

Giduz said. "Each move was
made to a larger hall, for the

nouncement at the conclusion of
the first annual O. Max Gardner
Award banquet which was held
in Lenoir hall. "While I am on
my feet," the Governor said, "I'd
like to make a few more remarks.
It has become necessary to name
another United States Senator.
I have had several suggestions.
The legislature has urged me to
act immediately to which I re
plied I was acting as fast as they
were.
"I want to make the announce
ment here tonight," he continued,
"that your next Senator, if your
executive committee is willing,
is Dr. Frank Graham."
The audience of faculty and
administrative members were
stunned into silence for a few
seconds and then rose to their
feet in a resounding ovation to
the appointment.
Dr. Graham, in accepting the
appointment told the capacity
group, "I thought I could say no
to this man, but he is a stubborn
most difficuit decision of my life
and involved a great confidence
to leave the place, the institu
tions, and the people, young and
old, that have been such a happy
part of myself for over forty
years."
"With God helping me, I will
do my best to continue serving
them, my state and my country
in this new post to which the
Governor of the state has called
me."
For more than 30 minutes after
his acceptance, Dr. Graham held
court in Lenoir hall, while per
spiration rolled off his forehead.
Everyone from University chan
cellors to dining hall waiters filed
by to express mixed emotions of
congratulations and regret.
Immediately after the banquet,
an informal group of members of
the Board of Trustees, who had
attended the dinner, met in Dr.
Graham's office. Governor Scott,
who presided at the meeting, an
nounced that he would call a
meeting of the Executive commit
tee of the Board for Saturday at
which time plans for naming
Graham's successor will be made.
The informal group recom
mended that a committee be ap
pointed to consider interim ar
rangements until a new president
can be appointed. They recom
mended also that another com
mittee be appointed to consider
the choice for a new president.
Governor Scott announced that
Dr. Graham will continue as
president of the University until
he takes his oath of office which
will probably be in two or three
weeks, he said.
Graham will fill the Senate scat
vacated by the sudden death of
J. Melville Broughton, junior
Senator, who was elected to the
post last fall. His selection came
as a complete surprise to state
politicians who had been discuss
ing some fifty persons as possible
persons for the Washington post.
Graham's name had not appeared
in any of the discussions.
The new Senator, a short,
friendly, energetic man has been
president of the University since
1930. Called one of the outstand
ing citizens of the South, Graham
was US representative on the
Good Offices committee of the
UN, which arranged a truce in
Indonesia that lasted until De
cember. He was also a member of the
War Labor board from 1942 to
1945 and served as vicc-' hyirm-'M
