She has worked for the famed medical missionary, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, in his hospitaly in French Equatorial Africa, has stud ied with the youngest daughter of Robert Schumann,' the composer, and is a close friend of Felix Men delssohn's grandson. Miss Deneke, on her sixth tour of the United States, presented a program ' of piano works by Men delssohn, Schumann, Chopin, To vey and Brahms in UNC's Hill Hall. Other engagements in the state call for recitals at Queens College and Davidson College, near Charlotte, both Presbyterian institutions For several months in 1932, the English musician worked as a nurse in Albert Schweitzer's hos pital in Africa. The famed mis sionary asked her to come to Afri ca to help in building his. new hospital on a 180-acre plot. She said she was sort of a jack-of-all-trades while there. In. addition to her nursing duties, she was fore man of a 30-man working crew of natives.

This view was stressed by Dr. Gordon W. Blackwell, director of the Institute For Research in So cial Science here, .who addressed the Virginia Education Association in Richmond, last week. Dr. Blackwell took the position that it is no longer a question of whether there shall be integration in the public schools of the South, but rather when and how it can best come about. As relative in the situation, he! pointed to the greatly expanding educational load to be faced by Southern States within the next decade and the extreme economic burden which it will place upon the region.

Town Rules On Segregated Grave Plots By WILLIAM BROCKMANN Negro residents of Chapel Hill were assured last week that the rule of segregation would continue with them even to the grave. At a meeting of the board of alder men recently the proposal to pro vide a non-segregated section in the new Chapel Hill Cemetery was defeated. The 24-acre cemetery now being being built on the Dur ham road will be divided into seg regated sections. The proposal was originally re commended by the Chapel Hill Ministerial Association in the form of a petition. The petition was re ferred to the Mayor's Citizen's Ad visory Committee, which in turn also recommended the proposal. At the meeting Monday night, the first motion, proposed by Al derman O. K. Cornwall,- was to postpone the vote on the proposal until the matter could be discuss ed further with the committee members. The vote on this motion ended in a 3-3 tie. Mayor Edwin S. Lanier added his vote to break the tie and kill the motion. The proposal itself was defeated by a 3-2 vote. Aldermen P. L Burch, Ovie Dav is and Kenneth Putnam yoted a gainst the proposal. Paul Wager and Hubert Robinson voted for it. Alderman O. K. Cornwall, who made the first motion, declined to vote. - Mayor Lanier said yesterday he considers the matter closed and that there will probably be no further consideration of the pro posal by the board of Aldermen. Rev. Charles M. Jones, pastor of the Community Church, said the Ministerial " Association, of which he is a member, has done what was in its power to do by submit ting the petition. iThe Ministerial Association, he thinks, will proba bly let the matter, rest in peace lb Offices In Graham Memorial F.

D. McRORIE Some of the students that go to the universities and colleges in India' have to sleep on the streets for lack of housing. They go to class without text books for lack of financial assistance. Tackling these and similar problems of the student in India was discussed by Virenda Aga wala, executive of University Ser vice in India, yesterday afternoon in the Cabinet Room of the Y ; Building. I Agawala came to the U. S. to attend the International Univer- sity Meeting of the World Univer-1 sity Service which recently ad- j journed i n Oxford.

Nominations for freshman class officers were : - Sonny Evans, pres ident; Jerry Mayo, vice-president; Jim Dixon, treasurer, and Gwen iemley, social chairman. The Student Party also ap proved the following planks for the platform in the coming elec- tion: To give all possible aid in es tablishing a veterans clubhouse, and to try to eliminate required physical education for veterans. To work for securing dormi tory quiz files and placing fil ing cabinets in each dorm for them. To have the profits from vending machines go to the so cial activities funds of the dor mitories. To initiate the establishment of a centrally located dispen sary on campus for the purpose of giving medical excuses for class absences and first aid, and to estabish visiting hours at the infirmary. To initiate a program by which' UNC will be sold to pro mising high school students. This will include the establish ment of a "High School Day" here. a university education. Three to four hundred thousand students there attend 30 universities and 1,000 colleges. "We have a very limited num ber of technical institutions (ag riculture and engineering for instance)" Agawala said, "In this way most of the students come from either arts, law or the so cial science schools. "This small percentage of the population is going to be leaders of tomorrow and the destiny of India is in their h.ands; ftierefore, it becomes a responsibility to have such a dynamic program which will meet the economical needs of the students of India," Agawala con- tinued. The program of the World Uni versity Service (WUS) is divided I under two heads: The long term and the short term.
