Waiting On Texas CourtPostponesAction On Negro Admittance RALEIGH, March 21 (P)- The Federal Court action brought by two Negroes for admission to the University of North Carolina Law School seemed headed for postponement today until the U. S. Supreme Court rules on a sim ilar case from Texas. Attorney General Harry Mc Mullan said as much today after conferring with attorneys for the two plaintiffs, Horald Thomas Epps and Robert Davis Glass, both law students at North Caro lina College in Durham. , The case had been set for trial the first week in April before Federal Judge Johnson J. Hayes in U. S. Middle District Court at Durham. In a conference with McMullan, counsel for the two students in dicated they would request con tinuance of the case until the U. S. Supreme Court passes on the case involving H. M. Sweatt, Texas Negro, and the University of Texas. That case is scheduled for a hearing before the nation's high est court early in April. Epps and Glass allege in their action that they cannot receive desired educations at the state's Negro college in Durham, since Coed Nominee Deadline Set For Tomorrow Women To Submit Qualifications Lists, Pctitions'Before 6 The deadline for nominations for all women candidates scek- ng offices in spring elections is 6 o'clock, tomorrow, Jim Gwynn, chairman of the Elections Board, said yesterday.

Both qualifications and petitions must be turned in to Mac Copen haver, 212 Spencer, by 6 o'clock tomorrow. The Coed Senate will elect the chairman of Leadership Train ing next Tuesday, to orient the new leaders into their respective offices. At this meeting, the bud gets of the various subsidiary organizations will be approved and the presidents and treasur ers of all the subsidiary organi zations should be present. The following offices must be filled in spring elections: Coed Senate: Speaker; two seats5 from Alderman; two- from Mclver; two from Kenan; two from Spencer; two from Carr; two from Smith; seven from town '(includes all women living in town).

Since their suit was filed, the Durham law- school has been placed on the accredited list by the American Bar Association In the Texas case, bweatt is suing for ' admission to the Uni versity of Texas law school. Al though Texas ha provided a law school for Negroes, Sweatt has testified that if all the facilities were equal he would not attend a law school for Negroes. McMullan says the case pre sents "squarely the question of segregation" in all state-supported schools, including the public schools. North Carolina, along with nine other Southern states, has joined with Texas in briefs an swering Sweatt's charges. "If the Supreme Court holds against us," McMullan said, "there will be no more segregation and we will have no case in the Epps matter. "But if they rule for us as they have in the past and don't go against a long line of rulings, then the Epps case will be decid ed on the basis of law applying."

Most remarkable of all is the fact that the great window, more than 18 feet high and 16 feet wide, is not seen by the visitors until closing moments of the new and spectacular show. "I have never studied archi tecture or design," Director Roy K. Marshall says, "but I dared to design the window we use in our Easter show.

"I suggested the figures and some of the colors scheme of the 'glass' portion of the window to James Pace, Chapel Hill student and artist, and he proceeded, with some assistance, to carry out our combined ideas. I believe that, together, we have made as beautiful a window as ever has graced a modern church or ca thedral." Great candles, ranging up to six feet high, grace the front of the base of the window, in to two rows that extend across the entire width. Electric lamps, flame-shaped, serve the candles, while dogwood blossoms, great clusters of lilies and geraniums add a touch of color and texture to the picture.

Registration Total Drops For Quarter A report from Director of Ad missions Roy Armstrong yester day afternoon indicated a slight drop in enrollment during the spring quarter. V Approximately C,900 to 7,000 students were "registered irt the University during the winter quarter. . According to the report re leased by Armstrong, this quart er will mark the first time since before the war that new students have been placed in dormitories. The unexpected accomodations for new students were brought about by the increased number of rooms available in town. Politicos Get PosterAdvice The Men's Interdormitory Council yesterday passed out several suggestions to candidates concerning posting of their lit erature on dormitory bulletin boards. . Three points were listed by the group: (1) All candidates are urged to acquaint domitory res dents with their campaign ma terial in dormitories; (2) Dormi tory officers will attempt to keep clear all bulletin boards for the disposal of candidates; (3) Can didatcs for office are requested to post campaign literature on bul lctin boards only! ings used against tne musical background for this presenta tion is suggestive of the motif of winter, followed by spring,' Dr. Marshall explains. "The readings from Isaiah fore tell Christ's coming and destiny, while those from John Mase- field's magnificent poems 'Good Friday' and 'Easter are among the most beautiful lines ever written for the occasion. "One of the most difficult problems, in presenting such special shows," Dr. Marshall says, "is the one of selecting the music that will fit the mood or the story, and the actual words of the narration. For the events leading up to the Crucifixion, and to set the whole theme of the show, Elegie by Faure is the happiest selection that could be made." . afternoon.
