Friday, yes terday would make no comment concerning the permanent presi dency of the University. Friday, who has frequently been mentioned as the successor to for mer President Gordon Gray, avoid ed committing himself on the sub ject by saying only four words "1 have no comment." ! At a press conference yesterday, Friday was questioned on this and the chancellorships here and at WC, the problem of the University losing many faculty members, the shortage of housing facilities, the increased enrollment and the in tegration begun at Woman's Col lege this year. CHANCELLORS Concerning the positons of chan cellor at UNC and WC, Friday said the two committees set up to rec ommend candidates are now at work. UNC Chancellor Robert B. House retires this summer. The position at WC was left vacant last spring When Edward K. Graham resigned. W. W. Pierson, on leave from his position as head of the UNC Grad uate School, has served as acting chancellor since that time. "The committee of 17 people made up of faculty representa tives, alumni and members of the Board of Trustees who were ap pointed," he said, referring to House's replacement, "have had an organizational meeting and will meet in November. They have been asked to submit three names to the president." About the WC job, Friday said the 15-mah committee, appointed during the summer, "has had two meetings. This body, "made up of, faculty members, alUttinl'and trus tees has also been asked to submit three names for consideration," he said. Friday reported last spring to the Board of Trustees the problem of the University losing many fac ulty members, mainly because of salary. He said yesterday 'The Univer sity administration is doing every thing possible to improve the sal ary situation and is asking for a special sum of money to be, used in making salary adjustments to help prevent further losses in our faculty; He said in the last 18 months "we have lost over 200 faculty members in the three institutions (See FRIDAY, Page 3) 2 Days Left To Pick Rushing Bids Men students have two da3rs re maining in which to pick up their rushing bids. The bids may be picked up to day between. 9 a.m. and noon and Friday between 10 a.m. and noon at the YMCA Building if it i raining, or Gerrard Hall if the weather is clear. Students unable to collect their bids will receive them in their rooms. No one will get any more than one envelope, containing from one to 24 bids. Approximately 10,000 bids have been sent out by .fraternities. Fif teen hundred individuals receiv ed bids, according to Ray Jeffer iss. There i no masten list which names the individuals and the fraternities from which they re ceived bids. Any student who los es his bids and forgets the hou es he must attend, have been ask- to contact Ray Jefferies. Each person receiving a bid from any house must, according to regulations, within the first two days of rush attend that house. Although a student is usually not required to present his Invitation at each house, a record of atten dence is kept. Jf a student fails to attend a fraternity, he will be ineligible for rushing until next year. There is no way a man can skip formal rush and still pledge a fraternity this year. An IFC member, In speaking of tonights' talks about rush, said, "This dL-cussion will let a boy know what to expect, and, also, give him a good, clear picture of rush, tfTtf' The President Talks Across The Desk Acting Consolidated University President William Frjday pauses for Daily Tar Heel reporter Clarke Jones to take down a note in a press conference with the President yesterday.

M. Iessouky, 4. first of the Egyptian guests to speak, empha sized there is no reason to expect Nasser to ever close the Canal to the present shipping traffic. He ; said that such action could only make enemies of Egypt's most valuable allies, allies which he felt Nasser cannot afford to lose. Several times in the course of debate Nasser was likened to Hit ler. Tawfik Hassan violently chal lenged this and pointed out that Nasser was chosen president by 99 per cent of the ballots in a free INFIRMARY Student in the Infirmary yes terday included: Miss Franklee Gilbert, Miss Martha J.

He also attempted to convince the Senate that Nasser's sympathies were not with the Communists; that he had only attempted to get economic aid from Russia, aid which he could find no place else. ; Neither Dessouky nor Hassen went to the rostrum until they had heard all of the debate, pro and con, of the senators The bill of the evening, which was introduced by Jim Holmes. j called for continued international holding of the canal by peaceful methods if possible, but by force if necessary. The bill was defeat ed 21-3. Senator Holmes blamed the en tire crisis on President Nasser and said that the Western World must prove that it will not accept such violation of international law. Senator David Mundy argued that if the bill of the evening were carried out it would only turn the Arabic nations against the West and leave them open to commu nism. An invitation was extended for the four Egyptian guests to be come members of the Senate. Three of the students are in this country on Egyptian government grants; the other is sent by the World Health Organization of the United Nations. Pritchett of Lenoir; H. B.

Flossy had picked up speed slightly, to; 20 miles an hour, and was about 20 miles north of Wil mington at 11 a.m. EST.

The Weather Bureau warned that the storm might intensify as it moved up the coast. 7 ' Tides two to three feet higher 'han normal were predicted from Cape Hatteras on North Carolina'. Outer Banks to northern New iey. The tides and torrential inland rains, in some places up to six inches within a 12-hour period brought a threat ) of localized floods. Much of the interior of Georgia South Carolina and North Carolina which got the most rain, had beer 'uffering from drought. This- wa expected to minimize the flood threat. There was slight prospec for a repeat of last year's disas trous floods, which resulted from a succession of htirricanps that taxed runoff and reservoir capac ty to the breaking point. ! iff orum, H isiory CI ub peakers Here Tonight pected to speak on "The Success of the New Tactics of the Chinese Communists."
