Gray's Resignation Seen
Naming Of Purks Believed Likely
The executive committee of
the UNC trustees met in Raleigh
Monday, and although they gave
out no statement it is understood
that the problem of a new Uni
versity president was discussed.
The next scheduled meeting
of the trustees is fixed for Nov
ember 14 when the resignation
of Gordon Gray as president is
due to be formally accepted.
This resignation was formally
presented at the meeting last
August, but was not accepted.
Since then it has become clear
ing President J. Harris Purks.
If the election were held today
they think Mr. Purks would be
the choice of the majoidty of
trustees.
“Mr. Turks has in 60 days,”
one trustee is quoted as saying,”
done more to advance the Uni
versity’s business than other
presidents have done in five
years.”
“Mr. Purks has made a. favor
able impression,” another trustee
has said, for three main reasons:
“First, he is an educator, and
concentrates on educational af
fairs. “Second, he has the back
ing of the faculty and his as
sociates.
‘Third, he knows how to get
along with other people.”
Mr. Purks is at present not
only the acting president of the
University but the provost.”

Considered Odd
It is considered odd that in
view of the importance of the
position, no candidates have pre
sented themselves and not even
the names of possible incum
bents are under discussion.

open to the public, had heard the
report of Roy M. Cole, Chairman
of the Evaluation Committee.
Nine Chapel Hill organizations
comprise the list of agencies
among which Community Chest
funds will be distributed.
All Local Agencies
J. A. Branch, General Chairman
of the Chest Drive to be held Nov
ember 1-9, said today," “The fact
that all funds will go to Chapel
Hill agencies, make this 1956 Chest
Drive a purely local, community
affair to which every citizen will
want to contribute. Our work is
cut out for us. We can make the
goal in the 10-day period set aside
for the drive provided every vol
unteer worker does his or her job
promptly and every individual ap
proached makes a contribution. We
start the campaign with the goal
set by the Community Council with
confidence and enthusiam.”
Judge William S. Stewart, Presi
dent of the Community Council,
praised Mr. Cole and his committee
members for their careful work
in examining the requests from the
participating agencies and other
groups which applied this year.
“Requests before the Evaluation
Committee exceeded the amounts
granted by more than $5,000,' but
after detailed examination and
careful consideration the recom
mended amounts were arrived at.
Committee members believe that
the agencies can carry on their
work under recommended budg
ets,” Mr. Cole said.
Nine Groups Participating
Agencies and amounts allocated
from the $25,733 total are: Boy
Scouts, $4,752; Girl Scouts, $2,000;
White Recreation Center, $4,923;
Negro Recreation Center, $6,800;
Holmes Day Nursery, $2,950; Mary
Bayley Pratt Children’s Library,
Library, $245; Humane Society,
$600; Y-Teens, $1,296.
A tentative amount of $400 for
campaign expenses was set aside
by the committee.

week consider possible candidates
A strong protest against the
proportion of the Community Chest
budget recommended to go to
Negro agencies was made at the
public hearing on the Chest Tues
day evening by Gran Childress,
immediate past member of the
Community Council’s executive
committee.
Mr. ChiMrass particiilarly
scored the inclusion of the Holmes
Day Nursery as one of the 10 local
agencies admitted to the joint
fund-raising appeal this year.
Operated in the Negro Communi
ty Center, the Nursery accommo
dates about 44 children of work
ing parents, he said, and has a
Chest appropriation this year of
$2,950 as recommended by the
Chest’s Evaluating Committee.
Mr. Childress expressed the
opinion that it was not proper for
this private agency to be included
in the Chest'and stated that if the
boarding rates were raised an aver
age of $1.75 per child a week it
would pay its own way.
He also pointed out that Negro
agencies this year are receiving
about 40 per cent of the total bud
get. whereas Negro contributors to
the Chest last year accounted for
only about eight per cent of the
total receipts. The cutting of the
Humane Society’s request by $100
and the Girl Scouts’ request by
$1,200 was also criticized by Mr.
Childress.
