to advise on matters concerning
public relations, to assist -in co

search into methods of improving
and adding to the present medias
by conferring with department
heads, faculty members, and other
informed personnel.

After his discharge, Friday en
tered the University Law School

gree in June of 1948. In August
of the same year, , he passed the
State Bar examination and re
ceived, his license- to practice.
During the summer of 1948,
when Friday began searching for
a job,1 University officials offered

Concerning his new position,
Friday said:
"I'll do all I can to keep the
office of the president function
ing in good Order until the Board

Gov. Hints
Legislature
May
RALEIGH, March 2 UP Gov.
Luther Hodges indicated strongly
today he will call a special session
of the General Assembly next sum
mer to deal with the school segre
gation problem.
The governor said in a statement
released by his office late this af
ternoon that he hopes the state's
Advisory Committee on Education
will make "specific recommenda
tions" that will carry out his aim
to "continue the education of our
children, but at the same time,
insure that no child in North Caro
lina will have to attend a school
in which the races are mixed."
Hodges added, "If such recom
mendations, are made, they will
doubtless require an extraordina
ry session of the General Assemb
ly to deal with the prooiem some
time next summer."
The governor said that in reply
to many inquiries as to the
strength of his feeling about the
nation nroblem he is mailing
to members of the General Assem
bly, newspapers of the state and
others brief excerpts of statements
he had made on the issue since
last summer. '
Thomas J. Pearsall, chairman of
Education Advisory. Committee,
has advised the governor that he is
devoting most of his time to a
"full report by the committee to

state," Hodges said.

Seventeen
Robert Andrews, a dramatic art
student from Rt. 1, Durham, is
acting and singing the rale of
Mr. Baxter, father of moon-struck
Willie Baxter, in tihe Carolina
Playmakcrs' production now un
derway. The Playmakers will put on
Booth Tarkington's "Seventeen"
two more nights tonight and to
morrow in Memorial Hall. The

Now completing his master's de
gree in dramatic art, with a min
or in radio, motion pictures and
television, Andrews plans to en
ter the production end of televis
ion in New York this summer
He first became interested in
the theatre when he attended
Bard College, Annandale-on-Hud-son,
New. York, from 1946 to 1948.
As part of the college's field work,
he was employed by radio station
WNYC in New York City, writing
releases and editing news.
In 1950, in Greenwich, Conn.,
where he" was raised and where
his family still lives, he was invit
ed by the Edgewood School, a pri
vate grammar and high school, to
direct "Yjou'. Can't Take It With
You.M
When he undertook the job, An
drews discovered the school had
no theatre, and he had to con
struct a complete stage, including
proscenium arch, out of platforms
in the nursery room. According
to Andrews, this experience was
one of his most challenging and
worthwhile.
.Now a cameraman at WUNC-TV, j
Andrews directs one show a week,
entitled, "Science in Nature,"' and
was master of ceremonies,' with
Mrs. Ida Friday, of last fall's
"Blueprint Series." Besides work

LEGISLATIVE ROUNDUP:
Vote Law's Change
WasC
onf
By NEIL BASS
The big talk at Thursday
night's Legislature session con
cerned provisions of the Elect
ion Law.
The body had to approve the
document prior to the forth
coming spring election if its stip
ulations were to go into effect.
The particular area about
which controversy was waged
was Article HI, Section 5, which
deals with election districts.
Since the spring of 1954, bal
lot boxes have been placed in
individual dormitories, fraterni
ty Courts and certain other con
veniently located spots on campus.-
From now on, according to
terms of the new Election Law,
Dormitory and Nurses' Resi
dence to be the only exceptions.
From now on residents ' in
town districts will be required
to vote: -
Town Men's I at Gerrard Hall;
Town Men's II at the Scuttle
butt; Town Men's HI at South
Building; Town Men's rV at Vic
tory Village; Town Women at
Gerrard Hall.
Polling places for the dormi
tory districts will be decided,
upon by the Elections Board.
Poll tenders will also be pro
vided by the Elections -Board, in
lieu of. provision by the individ
ual dormitories and fraternities.
PROCEDURES
To insure that residents in the
newly established and designat
ed districts vote in their respec
tive districts, the following speci
fications are set up by the Elec
tion Law: .
(1) In dormitory districts, the
dormitory advisors will provide
a roster of residents in their re
spective dormitories to officials
at the polling place. Voters will
be required to sign this roster
before voting.
(2) In town districts, no roster
will be provided, but the voters
will be required to sign a desig
nated list; the Elections Board'
wil investigate to establish vali
dity of domicile.
According to Harry Braxton,
newly-appointed Elections Board
chairman, the purpose of the
gating committee.
Hearings will be held in Greens
boro next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. All members of the fac
ulty and administrative staff tof

new polling procedure is to
"simplify" the electoral system
and to "clear up irregularities."
Braxton, upon questioning by
legislators, said he knew of no
"specific" irregularities which
resulted from the old system,
but he said ''certain" irregulari
ties were rumored.
Braxton said diminishing the
total number of ballot boxes
from 33 to some 12 or 14 "will
not," he felt, "cut down in the
voting.,
"In the spring of 1954," Brax
ton said, "there were only 12
ballot, boxes on campus," and
and the percentage of students
voting was 53 percent. With last
year's system and 33 ballot box
es, only 54 percent of the camp
us voted, according to Braxton.
"The one percent," he said, isn't
worth the great " difference in
systems.
Braxton, former University
Party floorleader, also cited the
"difficulty" in getting polltcn
ders as a "valid" reason for re
duction in ballot boxes.

to the administrative problems ex
isting at the Woman's College, and
particularly with respect to the
differences between some of the
faculty members and the admin
istration, this committee has re

lems which he finds existing at
Women's College,- together with a
recommended plan of action for
the solution of such problem?,
and to make a report of such find
ings to this committee not later
