PRESIDENT TO SIGN
BILLSBY WIRELESS

wireless appropriation bills which
start functioning on July l, Secretary
Tumulty announced today.
Since he will be on the sea when
most Of the bills become effective,
and since he does not wish. to see any
departments suffer for lack OF ap-
preparations, the President has re-
sorted to the wireless to solve the
problem Of signing the bills. He will
authorize his signature on all the
measures which must be signed, and
the Treasury Department has agreed
to accept such authorizations.
This is not the first time the Presi-
dent has availed himself of the wire
less to sign" bflIs. He used it once
before when dhe first urgent defici-
ency bill was passed. Signing by
wireless has the approval of the At
torney General.

STUDENTS STRIKE" AT
N. C.. A. & E. COLLEGE
They Want President Reddick to
Hand i'm Resignation and
Step Down.

Raleigh, April 17.-Alumni meet
ings and conference Thursday of the
executive committee of the trustees
of the A. and e. college are expect
ed to go far toward restoring peace
on the college campus as the result
of the student body's demand for
President w. c. Riddick's resigna-
ton
DIR. Riddick's return Tuesday
night from business trip brought
him the first knowledge of a stu
dent rebellion. Because of that alb
sence the ultimatum which was to
become effective Wednesday at noon
was extended to cover As additional
hours. BY Friday noon the boys are
demanding that the president hand
in his papers. The meeting planned
for Wednesday did not take place
because Of this extension.
President Riddick admitted that
he is still president. and that he is
yet able to take nourishment while
he sits propped up. metaphorically
speaking, in the college infirmary.
He was so gladdened by the return
of his boy, Wallace. from overseas
service that the college uprising was
somewhat minimized as a personal
affair. Nevertheless. the president is
cut up by il. He knew nothing OF II
and knows nothing now. One who
knows the professor understands
how mysterious is this business
Generally the fellow who puts po-
litical trick over him must rise early.
To the student plaint that the
honor system should be abolished,
that there sno policy looking to the
extension of collegiate activities.
that the president isn't tactful or
diplomatic. that his actions have re-
suited in the withdrawal of several
professors. Dr. Riddick replies that
the professors who go away were not
driven, but recommended for better
positions. He thinks the boys have
been misled
The college alumni are unques-
tionably with the president as the
case now stands. He is very popular
with them and the threat Of the
boys to take their case to the trus-
tees is matched by Brer FOx's de.
termination to hurl Brer Rabbit in
to the briar patch.
