A resolution calling for the cen suring of the Chapel Hill Police Dept. for recent actions will be debated tonight by the Philanthro pic Assembly. - The bill asks that the University administration expert influence to "rectify the present existing ills" in the Police Dept., and that a satisfactory policy toward towns people, students and the depart ment be worked out. The resolution was based on an Wist Wallenborn ed In addition, Wallenborn' played Couperin's 'Les Vieux Signeur," "Musette de Taranny," "Le Rossig nol En Amour" and "Le Tic-toc-choc" to introduce the Ravel se lections following the intermission. The appreciative audience ap plauded him back to the piano for two encores, a minuet of Ravel and Chopin's "E Minor Etude." The piercing dissonance and rapid staccato of the Petrassi and Bartok selections were masterfully executed. Those sitting near the piano noticably strained forward at intervals to watch Wallenborn s hands race- expertly oyer the key board. . . More warmly received by the au dience, however, were Schumann's "Etudes Symphoniques" and the compositions of Ravel. Wallenborn displayed versatility in places with soft shadings, rippling melodies and delicate pharsing.of the mul titudes of trills. Much of his program was char acterized by intense staccato, cre scendos and brilliant chords. Dis sonance dominated his perform ance. Several selections contained abrup endings crcscendos of chords mounting to a quick and ending climax. As a visitina lecturer, Wallen born spent the summers of 1939- 1942 at UNC. "Actually 1 ""i uirip t Carolina in 1938 as con- - yj cert pianist and accompanist of Helen Jepson," he said.

It charges .. that the police showed an "inhumane attitude," and also that its attitude toward students is one of "increasing mal ice." A whereas in the bill states that in the last few months, Chapel Hill police have tended to believe a student guilty until proven in nocent. Those favoring the measure are expected to contend that the Uni versity is the primary motivation in the growth and prestige of Chapel Hill, that the Police Dept. has shown a failure to cooperate with University agencies and that Police showed malperformance of duty in the incident Saturday. Oppenents are expected to de fend the Police Dept. on the grounds that students have been negligent in their own responsibi lity of maintaining order, and that the department is only carrying out its duty in the most efficient manner. Another resolution, suggesting that the Consolidated University "obtain a president who acts in the said capacity with a degree of per manence that is not presently re alized,':' is also expected to be pre sented in the meeting. - The Phi meets at 8 p.m. on the top floor of New East.

Starii By FRED POWLEDGE Consolidated University President Gordon Gray yesterday denied that he had resigned. An Associated Press story from Washington yesterday said he has quit his job here, "accord ing to several usually well-informed graduates of the Uni versity." Gray is at present on leave from the University presidency to serve as assistant secretary of defense for international se curity affairs. Gray's office, questioned by telephone yesterday, said he has tendered his resignation with the executive committee of the Board of Trustees, the board declined it and gave him a leave of absence, and he now understands the executive commit tee will take up the matter in November. "Mr. Gray knows nothing that causes any current stories about his resignation because it has re mained before the trustees," said the statement. Meanwhile, The (Raleigh) News and Observer published a story this morning saying "some state of ficials in Raleigh have said "they had received reports that Gray's resignation would be laid before the executive committee of the .Greater University Board of Trust ees at its next meeting in such a manner that it cannot be rejected again." The Raleigh newspaper also said there had been rumors Gray "is in-line for appointment" as Sec retary of Defense if Secretary Wil son should resign his'cabinet post. PURKS PRESIDENT? ' ! The story that started the whole uproar was transmitted yesterday at 4:17 p.m. by The Associated. Press. Bearing a Washington date ine, it quoted . the "well-inforniea graduates" indirectly as saying Gray had resigned. The story also said, "reports here also are Acting President J. Harris Purks is being asked to remain as president. Gray has said he favored Purks to suc ceed him." Purks was on his way to New York yesterday, and could not be reached. The complete statement from Gray's office follows: "Mr. Gray submitted his resig nation in June to the executive committee of the Board of Trust ees. They declined to accept the resignation and granted instead a leave of absence. Mr. Gray has been informed that the Board of Trustees will consider the matter again formally at its meeting in November. Mr. Gray knows of nothing that causes any current stories about his resignation be cause it has remained before the trustees."

Two of North Carolina's widely circulated newspapers, The News a"nd Observer and The Greensboro Daily News, have published editori als within the past week demand ing a permanent president for the University. The News and Observer called on Gray to "choose between the two titles and two positions which he holds." This aroused Columnist Chuck Hauser, of The Chapel Hill Weekly, who wrote, "why can't people around this state wake up to the fact that Mr. Gray DID offer to resign?" Gray tendered his resignation, said Hauser, and the trustees are at fault for not accepting it. The Greensboro Daily News came back with an editorial Sun day morning which said Gray "did not have to agree to a leave of absence. He could have made the decision stick by simply submitting his resignation effective on a given date period. There is, it seems to us, quite a difference between of fering to resign and formally quit ting the presidency." 27 Business Leaders Are Coming To 'School' Twenty - seven prominent busi ness executives from North and South Carolina will "return to school" this week when the third annual Executive Program will get underway, in the School of Busi ness Administration at the Uni versity of North Carolina at Chap el Hill.
