Governor, and presented to the University faculty member who has made the "greatest contribu tion to the welfare of the human race during the past academic year." At the first award banquet, held here in 1949, Miss Louise Brevard Alexander, for 16 years teacher of government and polit ical Science at Woman's College, was honored. But the award was overshad owed with the announcement by Governor Scott that University President Frank Porter Graham had been named North Carolina's junior senator to succeed the late Senator J. Melville Broughton. Last year, at ceremonies held on the campus at W.C., Dr. Rob ert Ervin Coker, retired Kenan Professor Emeritus of Zoology here and director of the Univer sity Institute for Fisheries Re search and Development at More head City, was . named the re cipient. And again, circumstances step ped in to rob a Gardner Award winner of the limelight: Gordon Gray made his first public, of ficial appearance as President elect of the Consolidated Univer sity. The Gardner Award banquet will mark the 20th Anniversary of the consolidation of the Univer sity. A committee made up of the University's Trustees has receiv ed recommendations from the three branch institutions for winner of the award this year. And they have decided upon a worthy candidate. But no one will know until tomorrow night who it is, although many have guess ed it will be a member of the N. C. State College faculty, com pleting the. three-year circuit by naming a member of each faculty as winner. , 'Snake Pit' Slated Monday At 7 P.M.

Biggest change in the new budget over last year's whopping $100,000 figure is the elimination of Tarnation. However, it comes as no surprise since it was com monly accepted that this quarter would be the magazine's last. The budget estimates enroll ment at 4,000. . The budget was drawn up by the Budget Committee headed by Secretary - Treasurer Banks. Tal ley. In turn it was reviewed and passed by Ben James' Legislature Finance Committee. Publications will get about 65 percent of the proposed budget. The Daily Tar Heel is up for $17, 000, in addition to its estimated income of $18,000 from adver tising and subscriptions. The paper's income next year provides for one wire service and several features. It probably will be published on a six-day-a-week basis during the fall and five days a week during the winter and spring quarters. The Yackety Yack will get $18,200, an $8,000 drop from last year's appropriation. Graham Memorial is hardest hit in the new fiscal report. It is slated for only $12,000 as com pared to last year's $21,900. Both the Budget and Finance Committees lauded 'the work of the Debate Council which is left out of the appropriations act. They pointed out the Council is doing commendable work but should be supported by the- Uni versity as is done in other major colleges. The Student Entertainment Committee will get but $3,100. Last year they got $9,185. Other appropriations to be recommended to the Legislature.- Student Government: Executive branch, $1,085; legislative branch,, $470, and Judicial branch, $155; Carolina Forum, $370; Men's In terdormitory Council, $50; Uni versity Club, $75; and the Pub lications Board, $1,187. Proposed Draft Deferment Policy Undecided On By Selective Service Special to The Daily Tar Heel WASHINGTON, March 21 There's still nothing definite about the plan proposed by Se lective Service to give high school graduates draft-deferment for college if they can make 70 in a special test. This plan was disclosed last week. Since then Selective Serv ice has said nothing about" it. Nor has it offered even an ex planation of what is meant by "70" in a test. This is an attempt to give an explanation obtained from a completely reliable source other than Selective Service. At present, under the draft law, only men 19 through 25 are draft able and many of those in school have had their induction post poned because they're in school. But Congress at this moment is considering changes in the law, perhaps to permit drafting of youths as young as 18 or 13 Vz Trustee Group Holds Meeting On Admissions Gray's Office Is Scene Of Session Of Advisory Unit The applications of several Negroes to professional schools of the University were considered at a three-hour meeting of a spe cial Admissions Advisory Com mittee of the Board of Trustees in the office of President Gor don Gray here yesterday. The meeting was an executive session, and President Gray said since the group was acting in an advisory capacity any recom mendations it might make would be presented to the Executive Committee of the Trustees, at its meeting in Raleigh this morning. The special Admissions Advisory Committee was appointed by Governor Scott at the meeting of the full Board of Trustees in Ral eigh in January. Mrs. Laura Weil Cone of Greensboro is chairman.

Episcopal Services Are Listed For Week A Holy Week Communion service will be held in the Epis copal Church tonight at 8 o'clock.

The Easter festival of the Sunday school, with presentation of the Lenten offering, will be held at 4 p.m. High School Grads May Be Given Tests To Get Deferment years. Final Congressional deci sion on this hasn't been reached. Under the law the President can lay down rules it's called issuing a directive about defer ment of youth, such as those in school. For many months many educa tors have been working with Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey and his Selective Service people to find some fair and reasonable system for deferring men who want to go to college or are in. Brain and willingness to work in school are the two main fac tors. So Hershey proposed that high school graduates be deferred for college if they can make 70 or more in a special test. nsta World Oil Publicafions Board Reinstates Parker Financiers Void Recent Special Action , In Electing Chairman Zane Robbins The "Publications Board yester day reinstated Roy Parker, Jr., as editor of The Daily Tar Heel and voided the action it took March 12 when it named its chair man,. Zane Robbins, to become in terim editor. Parker was elected to the job in the fall quarter. The latest switch in editors will become effective with tomorrow morning's edition. Parker, who resigned the edi tor's job when he made plans not to return to school this quarter, reversed his decision and en rolled for the spring. He wrote the Board yesterday, "Realizing that I have put you in a very awkward position, I am asking Arden Boisseau Is To Be May Queen Arden Boisseau from Roanoke, Va., will be crowned May Queen at the annual May Day ceremonies on Saturday after noon, May 5, in the Forest Theater. A'dramatic presentation of excerpts from Alice In Won derland will be given during the " afternoon festivities. Open try-1 outs for the cast of the Alice In Wonderland program will be held this afternoon between 4:30 and 5:30 in the Forest Theater. In case of rain the tryouts will be conducted in Memorial Hall. The cast is large, and all girls who are interested are urged to participate. The queen and her attendants recently were selected frqm the senior class by vote of all coeds. The runners-up in the election, serving as maids of honor to the queen, are Dodie Boyer from Miami, Fla., and Rosie Varn from Petersburg, Va.

The pictures of all May Queen candidates were recently on dis play in the lobby of the Y. The girls were voted on in the coed dormitories on campus. (Once they were in college, their continued deferment under this proposal would depend on their standing in their class.) Hershey sent his recommenda tion to Charles E. Wilson, boss of mobilization, and Arthur Fleming, who serves under Wil son and is chairman of Wilson's special board on manpower pol icy. This board is made up of top government officials. This board will meet Thursday to consider Hershey's recommen dation. It probably will approve. If so, Wilson seems sure to ap prove. He'll tell Mr. Truman so Mr. Truman can issue an order putting it into effect. But the President at this time may put only part of the Her shey recommendation into effect. That's the part providing for de ferment of men already in col lege or graduate schools. you to void your action of Mon day, March 12, in naming a new editor of The Daily Tar Heel." The motion to reinstate Par ker was. passed unanimously. Only the Legislature member to the Board, Bill Skinner, was not present at the meeting. The group also gave Interim Editor Robbins a vote of thanks for filling in as editor "and for cooperation during a very trying period," Secretary Frank Allston reported. Robbins, who completes his term of office with today's paper, claims the shortest term of of fice of any Daily Tar Heel editor ever to serve in that capacity. Don Maynard States Plans For Campaign I;, -lf Don Maynard, independent can didate for editor of The Daily Tar Heel, said yesterday his campaign would be directed at "personal interviews with as many students as possible to find out what they really want in their campus newspaper." He said he had set as a goal individual talks with "at least 1,000 students if time permits" between now and election day, April 12. "In a fair, straight forward campaign, I intend to ask the student body to simply look at the record," he added. Maynard, who is present asso ciate editor of the newspaper, said in a prepared statement, "The Daily Tar Heel should not only present the views of students through its editorial page col umns and letters to the editor, but should contain what the stu dents want to read in its news columns and editorial page."
