Check Redemption Set For Saturday All students who have given out checks to be held during the bank holiday are expected t0 make arrangements to meet their checks by Saturday, Wil- iiam c. Medf ord, chairman of the student council check com- mittee. announced yesterday. The checks given during the j,ank holiday will be turned jnt0 the local bank by Mon dav This announcement came with the re-opening of the lo cal bank yesterday.

Should students fail to make arrangements for payment of these checks by the time de signated, they will be subject to the student council's regu lations on bad checks. Chapel Hill Business Hit Heavily During Rational Banking Holiday o- Drastic Changes in Credit Structure Have Taken Place in Com munity and Unhersity; Yet Business Shows Marked De crease Since Beginning of Holiday March 6. o . If baggy pants, unshorn locks, j and fewer new ties were seen on the campus this past week, the falling off in sartorial elegance may be correctly attributed to the national bank holiday that has had the commerce of the nation in its restraining grip since March 6. The closing of the banks .did not catch Chapel Hill unaware, but certain dras tic changes in the credit struc ture here have been consum mated. : In interviews with merchants, a number of interesting facts were disclosed concerning the credit situation, volume of busi ness, and relative declines in types of merchandise. Nearly . - '- falling off in volume of business, but the greatest change has oc-! curred in the matter of cash, j The Book Exchange, which has been giving credit to all who de sire it, reports a business only forty per cent of normal. Every thing text books, note paper, stationery, dopes has suffered a relative decline. Few Old Books Sold At the beginning of every quarter, the sale of second hand books is carried on briskly in the lobby of the Y. But this quar ter B.C. (bank closing) has wit nessed a falling off in sales here, attributed, the salesmen claim in part, to the fact that some students prefer to buy new books on credit than to buy sec ond hand books for cash. The business of the Bull's Head has proceeded normally, BANK OF CHAPEL HILL REOPENS ITS NORMAL BUSINESS Local Banking Institution Has More Deposits Than Withdrawals On First Day. Along with scores of other banking institutions throughout the state and nation, the Bank of Chapel Hill resumed normal operations yesterday upon the permission of Gurney P. Hood, state commissioner of banks. The only restriction on the bank in re-opening is the federal rul ing against hoarding. According to estimates made ast night, the local institution received a greater amount in de posits than total withdrawals. The deposits totaled over $50, 000 while withdrawals were ap preciably smaller. An interesting fact brought out was that a larger amount of currency was received in de posits than checks. The checks were presented, as a rule, by lo cal merchants while deposits of currency was made by various individuals. Officials of the institution yes terday expressed appreciation f or the confidence and co-opera tion shown by the community during the banking crisis. Seventeen in Infirmary ' Seventeen students were un der the University physician's care yesterday. They were: R. W. Baker, Jimmy Craig, G. L. Tillery, C. C. Hartman, Jr., G. C. Kyker, L. A. Dalton, Jisaku Fukusato, M. D. Taylor, D. J. Brawley, L. L. White, H. A. Ginsberg, C. C. Glover, P. W. Markley, Mary Waldo, M. S. Campbell, and J. C. Parker. except for the fact that the item of cash does not play a promi nent part in the negotiations, giving way to the universal cred it. The campus is cognizant of the problems of the present, for books dealing with economic sub ject and those purporting to deal with present conditions, like Gilbert Seldes' Years of the Locust, have increased in circu lation. Theatre Attendance Declines ' The Carolina theatre, rendez vous unique of all true gentle men and scholars, has also been affected by the bank .debacle. Despite the evidence of a pile of checks ot unbelievable propor tions, Mr. Smith reckoned that only fifty cent of his former t patrons amended the cinema i 1 I ... J. I present. The peanut stand next door to the theatre has conse quently been required to stand mutely by for a large part of the day, thinking of former hur ried demands for its products. No new Ford V-8's have ap peared on Chapel . Hill streets since March 6, reports the Strowd Motor Company. But the volume of gasoline sold re mains up around former figures, although much of it is sold on a credit basis. A. and P. Suffers Slightly The A. & P. reports a volume of business that has only fallen off twenty-five per cent in the past week or so. Credit has been issued to old customers with little reservations. The manager reports that people are (Continued on last page) INVESTIGATION OF METEOR CRATERS TO BE POSTPONED Geology Department Will Conduct In spection of Huge Land Depres sions Next Month. Due to postponement of the spring holidays, a trip to inspect huge symmetrical depression in the land surface of North and South Carolina has been put off by the geology department un til Easter or later in April. The department which has recently received a grant from the Rockefeller foundation to be used in an investigation of the phenomena, is seeking to deter mine meteoric origin of the de pression. The possibility of their being of meteoric origin recently startled the scientific world. Air plane photographs have shown that a large percentage of the depressions have their axis trending in the same direction and that they are more highly rimmed on the south-east side by sand deposits. Postponement of the trip has caused much disappointment as the results of the investigation are being awaited with scienti fic interest everywhere. Local Socialists to Meet Arnold Williams and Alton Lawrence will address the local Socialist group tonight on so cialist work in North Carolina and provisions of the new state election law which affects the status of the minor parties. The meeting will take place in room 209, Graham Memorial, at 7 :30 o'clock. Plans for activi ties during the spring and sum mer will be considered. PLAY TO BE READ BY MRS. HOLMES 'Another Language," Comedy of Con temporary Life, .Will Be Pre sented Sunday Night. A reading of Another Lang- uage, a new American comedy success, will be given by Mrs. Urban Holmes at 8:30 o'clock Sunday night in the Playmakers theatre. This is the March num ber of the series of monthly readings presented by Play makers. Another Language, by Rose Franken, enjoyed an unusually successful run last season on Broadway and later in London. The play is a realistic comedy of divided family loyalties, fashion ed out of contemporary life. It is a remarkable study of the in teractions of the members of the HaUam family, a typical middle class family, and abounds in the subtle comedy of everyday jnid-dle-class life. Mrs. Hoiaes is an excellent i-, and has read nnmW of plays here in former years, always well received. CLASS HEADS TO DECIDE ON DANCE Junior Executive Committee to Meet Tonight to Plan Finances For Annual Dances. Red Boyles, president of the junior class, yesterday an- nounced that there would be a very important meeting of the class executive committee to- night in Graham Memorial at 7 :00 o'clock. Boyles urged that every mem- since matters of vital import- -vvi-, ance must be handled by that body immediately. Under the present arrangement of collect ing University fees, he said that the class would meet serious dif ficulties in fulfilling contracts made in connection with the junior-senior dances. TIip rnmmittwi will rtapirJA tn night whether or not the dance frf xvin Tf nrfoJ ii r,i fn. h Ho,,, t be continued, the committee must also set a date for a class meeting to elect dance leaders and commencement marshals. Sophs Excused From Chapel Attendance Members of the sophomore class have been excused from further required attendance at assembly exercises this year Dean F. F. Bradshaw an- nounced yesterday. Freshmen will be required to attend once a week during the present, quarter instead of twice under the present ruling. Sophomores are, however, especially invited to attend but no check will be made on them. According to the re-arrange- menu 01 , xne assemDly pro gram, chapel is now regular ly set for Monday unless spe cial announcement is made. Each freshman will be allowed only two absences during the quarter, and students coming in late or leaving before the end of the program will be considered absences. Exces sive absences will result in probation. Violation of pro bation will result in appear ance before the assembly com mittee and possible expulsion from the University. DATE FOR SPRING HOLIDAYS NOT YET SET, SAYS WEEKS President of Student Body An nounces That Holidays Prac tically Sure at Easter. Because of the uncertainty of the present financial conditions, no decision has been reached on arrangements for spring holi days at the University. How ever, it is fairly certain that the University will close for a sev eral days' vacation around East er time, it was announced by Haywood Weeks, president of the student body, yesterday. This announcement was made to quiet a multitude of rumors on the campus during the past week about the usual spring holidays which were postponed Monday, March 6, immediately after the banking holiday was declared by President Roosevelt. The student council is work ing 6h a r&6mmendatlon to President Graham about the holidays but it is waiting before making definite decision until the bank situation clears up. The majority of banks have re-open ed for business, but the council feels that the same factors in" fluencing the postponement of holidays would cause at present the same amount of uncertainty as before. Weeks expressed confidence, however, that a holiday will be granted and the date for the va- cation will be near Easter which falls on April 16.
