The property owners at Wrightsville beach last week heard two experts recommend the construction of a jettied sea wall as the only means of halting the encroachment of the sea on the nearby strand. These speakers were Thorn dike Saville, professor of hy draulic and sanitary engineering at the University of North Caro lina, and Victor Gelineau, chief eriginrier of the state of New jersey. They also recommended steps to secure aid in the sea wall project by state legislation! The North Carolina depart ment' of conservation and 'deve lopment, of whicri Saville is the' chief engineer, selected points along the coast from the observation Of which they hoped to secure data on the rate of erosion of the coast line. These points were Carolina beach, "Wrightsville, Morehead, and Nag's Head. v This was .dne n 1927 and since then $2000 has been spent each year to compile data and make topographical maps. According to this data there is a general arid steady encroach ment of trie sa on the strand at Wrightsville beach, and at all the inshore beaches as well. It is also stated that liasonbbro inlet is 3000 feet fartner north than it was in 1910 arid that Moore's inlet is 500 feet farther south. ' As a remedy for these gradual changes Mr. Gelineau, who has been combatting a siiniliar prob lem in New Jersey, recpirimend ed at Wrightsville a bulkhead, probably located at the high, water line and built parallel to the sea with groins arid jetties perpindicular. He went into the details'of their construction and gave a rough estiinate of the cost of such a construction. j Mr. Gelii that these projects be 'financed by the stato' legislature,1 as those of Ijew Jersey are supported. When this will have been finished, he thinks the coast line of NortH Carolina will be as'good as any on the Atlantic. x HOUST ON STATE TOUR THIS WEEK I R. B. House, executive secre: tary of the University, will give three talksduring trie week. Mr: House speaks first in Albeiriarle to the civic club of that citr on tle subject of "Libraries." He will also address a group in Charlotte on this same-subject on Thursday. ' Going to Red Springs on Sat itrdav. the executive secretary will anoear before the Flora Mc Donald college for women there. Meca By Otto S. Steineich South building is the first structure a Carolina student sets foot in as he arrives on the campus. What varied emotions does the freshriian experience as he timidly walks up the wide steps surmounted by an im posing colonnade. The ; fresh man is stricken with awe before the impressive grandeur of the white columns; he is overcome with reverence for the build ing's age and what that age re presents; he thinks of the illus trious men who have preceded him, ' walking up the steps as he is even now doing; he thinks of the past, and most import ant of all he thinks of the glor ious future. ; "Old South," as it is affection ately called by alumni to whom it is very dear, is worthy of the awe and respect paid to it by the sons of Carolina. 'South car ries well the dignity of its 132 years and seems well conscious of the fact that it is the hub around which the entire life of the University radiates, for on bright sunny days it seems to expand and smile down on the students as they pass on the way to their classes. In 1797 the officials decided that the University needed an other building. After much de liberation by the state legisla ture, and after the architect's plans had been approved, the cornerstone pf ; Soujth building was finally laid on April 14, 1798. The cornerstone had been laid, but this did riot necessarily mean that the construction of the building would continue. The foundation had already been excavated about three years be fore the state legislature author ized the officials of the Univer sity to conduct a lottery in or der to raise $4,000 to complete Crittenden Writes About N. G. Coast Dr. Charles C. Crittenden, professor in the history depart ment, has an article in the October issue of tie North Carolina Historical Review, His subject is , "Thie Seacoast in North Carolina History." Dr. Crittenden said that the coast of the northern part of Carolina although in appearance the same as that of Maryland and Virginia, .is far. different. its apparent good harbors, large inlets, and indented coast- line are locked m py sand reefs. it s not, dithcuit to understand why, with such obstacles m the way, iNortn uaronna nas never been able to develop a ' great overseas commerce. Three treacherous capes ren der trading dangerous. The charts and maps of this coast are oiten inaccurate aue to xne constant cnariges in trie coast- line. These changes are due to trie gradrialvmoveriient of the sand along the beach which fills In the inlets. After a ter rible' storm great . ch'anges are noticed as new bays have been formed and old ones obliterated. The various places where trading might ' be carried on were enumerated T)y Dr. Crit tenden and their faults and lack of facilities pointed out. Dif ferent efforts were made to im prove these spots but nothing of merit -was - accomplished. 'Noth ing that man could do could stop the ravages of nature. MlMmni Faithfulness the building. We must , remem ber that at this time lotteries were quite the thing, and were practically the only means by which organizations could raise money. In this lottery there were 1500 tickets to be sold at five dollars each. There were to be 531 prizes and 969 blanks; there was to be one i500 prize, one $500 prize, one - $250, One $200, two $100, five $50 prizes, ten $10 dollar prizes and 500 $5 prizes. The prizes amounted to $5500 and left a profit of $2, 215.45. -General Lawrence Baker won the largest prize. In 1802 another lottery was held which yielded $2,865.36. With the proceeds from these two lot teries and by the aid of numer our donations, enough funds were raised to complete the building in 1814. When South was built some one wrote to tMe papers and sign ing hiiriseif "Citizen," denounc ed it as "a palace-like erection, which is much too large for use fulness and might be aptly term ed 'The Temple of Folly' plan ned by the Demi-God "Davie." (The building was not planned by Davie but by Governor Speight.) ' At the time of the completion, the Bursar's office was oil the first floor to the right, opposite to this ,was i the registrar's of fice, arid back of the registrars off ice bri the front was the presi dent s office. The rear center was devofed to a classrooiri. At each end were dormitory rooms except for one large recitation rook The second and, third floors were taken up by dormi tory rooms. South remained in use as lec ture hall, dormitory and adminis: tration building until 1902 when the administration offices were .

PLAYMKERS WILL NOT GO ON TOUR Northern Trip Abandoned This Year Because of Depression Throughout Country For the first time in the his tory of their trooping, the Carolina Playmakers will not make the annual northern tour this quarter. This announcement was made following a meeting of the directors of the organiza tion fWho decided that a tour would be impracticable this fall largely, in consideration of the existing financial condition here and in other sections of the country. - , This is the first time since 1926 that the Playmakers have not piled actors, scenery, and the complete paraphernalia for a three act production into a big blue Carolina bus, and set out on a two weeks tour through the north. Three trips are made each year by the organization. These consist of a northern, southern, and western journey,! the first of which is ; taken in the fall, the second in the win ter, and trie western trip in the spring. : Fori three consecutive years tliey have played in New York City. Last year they went as far as Boston, where they were received by : Governor Frank Allen at the , ' Massachusetts State House. In Boston they presented their bill for two successive night in the Fine Arts Theatre. This was one of the longest tours ever made by the Playmakers. However, in 1928 they reached New Haven to play in .Professor Baker's theatre at Yale. In 1926 they njade their first tour north. On tlds s occasion they ; reached Washington and were received by President Coolidge at the White House. The following year they went, as far as New York City and Plainfield, New Jersey. Siric 1927 tfiey have played annually in the; Mac Miljan Academic Theatre of Columbia University. Resigned to the impractica bility of making the - northern tour, the officers of the; Play makers staff are planning : an extensive southern tour.
