Plans for a Bigger University
are Being Rapidly
Perfected
A new era for the University now
looms up for the future, and each
year will see new buildings and im
provements taking place on the cam
pus. The officers of the University
are sparing no efforts in pushing for
ward as rapidly as possible the ex
pansion of the University. The mon
ey for the new dormitories is now in
the hands of the Business Manager,
and the State Architect is busily en
gaged on plans for various buildings
that will make their appearance as
soon as labor and material can be ob
tained. The plans of the ever-growing
University do not end with the
building of new dormitories and other
necessary buildings, but take also in
to consideration the living- conditions
of the present old and time-worn
buildings that are almost uninhabit
able. They are to be remodeled both
within and without, with the hopes
of making them modern in very sense
of the wor'd.
With the coming expansion of the
University the center of the campus
will be materially changed, and plans
are being thought out whereby the
Administration Building will be
placed nearer the center of the cam
pus, probably near the location of the
old South. An onlooker might not
see in the present array of buildings
any symmetry whatever, and prob
ably there is none, but this is not
to be true for ever. Some day in the
not far distant future, the University
of North Carolina will be the leading:
university of the South, in ' every re
spect The present wooded land be
hind old South will present a beauti
ful array of new dormitories; athlet
ic fields, club houses for our visiting
teams, gymnasiums, swimming pools
and tennis jcourts. The different
schools that are now represented here
will radiate from a common center,
the Administration Building expand
ing further and further in every di
rection with the passing of the years.
With the growth of the University,
has come an ever greater demand for
housing the faculty, and plans are
now on foot for the construction of
many new faculty homes, which will
be built convenient to the campus.
It is hoped that many of these can
be completed by the beginning of
next year.
The state has begun to realize
more vividly than ever before our
needs and our opportunities, and
doubtless they will give in accord
ance with this new vision that they
have for the future of this institu
tion. '
With Apologies to Pepys
Up with reluctance, feeling some
what under the weather from effect
of last night's feed, where we had
cut some onions and eaten them with
a strange omelet served with ' salt.
However, at once revived when Orner
reported having taken (at the infirm
army) six pills and a glass of salts
within four hours, to psychology
class where the fifteen ' most elect
members reported seeing a box move
which was nailed fast to a table. I
perceive by janitor today that he hath
seen the devil, for such weird tales
he tells of purple curtains and red
lights and unknown articles which he
saw when cleaning up the Y. M. C.
A. He being gone, I go to class,
where the graven images on desks
contrived marvel'ously to hinder me
from writing. . Thence did pass the
English Sermon room where intellec
tual powers were enthusiastically dis
cussing the latest jiggs, while wait
ing for the lecture on "Neglected
Forms of Midreval Drama." Thence
to supper and to room, where soon to
bed triple-decked. Number two did
call himself with exceedingly great
conceit a chicken sandwich but piped
down at once on being addressed as
the coldest of hot-dogs.
DAVIE POPLAR BOLSTERED
AGAINST FURTHER DECAY
EFFORTS BEING MADE TO SAVE
LIFE OF THE LANDMARK
As protection against the further
ravages of time, the Davie Poplar is
being capped with concrete to pre
vent internal decay and to enhance
the value of the tree as an ornament.
Following the suggestion of Dr.
Coker, contract was let with the A. F.
W. Vick Company, of Philadelphia,
for the repairing and filling of the
decayed hollow in the trunk of the
old landmark. D. L. Poe, superintend
ing tree surgeon, stated that work
was expected to be completed by Sat
urday. Calculations made by the Univer
sity department of engineering dis
closed the fact that should the orig
inal plan of pouring concrete into the
trunk be followed, the tree would
probably fall on account of displaced
center of gravity. This plan was
necessarily abandoned, it was stated,
and a "wood filler," lighter than con
crete, was proposed by the Vick Com
pany. After investigation of the interior
fungi growth, however, Dr. Coker con
sidered it advisable to merely place
a cap on the top of the hollow bore.
Dr. Coker, it was stated, explained
that the decay was caused by a heart
wood fungus, and that the nature of
the growth was such that a new sup
porting layer would be added each
yea rto supplant that lost through
decay.
This concrete cap is being laid
across the top at a point fifty feet
from the ground and the main trunk
will be braced by two steel cables at
tached to nearby trees.
The tree surgeons estimated the
age of the tree to be at the least 175
years. Tradition states that it was
to this tree that Col. Wm. R. Davie
tied his horse at the founding of the
University site 126 years ago.
DOINGS OF THE KRAZY KLUB
The Krazy Klub held its regular
meeting at one o'clock Monday morn
ing. The Klub assembled with all
members absent, and was asked to
conduct itself disorderly by the second-assistant
vice-president. After
the disorder began an immediate mo
tion for adjournment was called for
by the president, who at the same
time reminded the Klub that it was
simply against the constitution for
any member to vote, and that all
members who did so would be fined.
The motion,, carried so the Klub re
mained. After administering a thor
ough rebuff to the secretary for being
present, the president called for the
minutes of the meeting to come next
week'. Then the roll was called and
every member present was fined for
being absent.
The preliminary business being
transplanted the Klub refused to lis
ten to , a dissertation by one not a
member, who belongs to the Klub, in
which he proved: 1st., that Presi
dent Wilson has recovered because
he no longer needs Lansing (spelled
lancin); 2d, that the peace treaty is
now illustrating the law of perpetual
motion; 3d, President Wilson is now
illustrating the law of falling bodies;
4th, a man having nothing to say
should not talk. With this state
ment, the gentleman discontinued ' his
discourse. . '
The Klub decided not to adjourn, so
everybody left resolved never to flunk
any more courses after they had fin
ished their education.
