It remained for a half -score ' frown on his brow: for if stu

may soon be no need of a build
ings department.
Group Starts Work
L The way it all happened is
that after dinner, a group of
students were loafing about the
front door .of Ruffin. Someone
remarked that the grass certain
ly needed a haircut. Someone
else suggested that the bunch
borrow some tools from the
buildings department and clip
all the grass around their dorm
itory. The others agreeing, the
work was started. As easy, as
that!
Hope has been expressed that
the example set by Ruffin will
result in other dormitories help
ing in the work of beautifica
tipn. Already, since this concrete
demonstration of University
spirit, several organizations
have banded together to raise
enough money to give the entire
campus a haircut.
Professor Walter D. Toy of
the University German depart
ment has accepted an appoint
ment to conduct an investiga
tion into the facilities offered
by American universities giv
ing work leading to doctor's
degrees and has begun the
work.
The appointment was made
by the American council on edu
cation through its committee on
graduate instruction, of which

Last Hold-Out
George Chiopelas of the Tar
Heel Cafe, who does not sell the
far-heralded "suds," takes the
stand to assert that his business
has not been harmed in the least
by his refusal to handle the
"stuff." For ample testimony he
pointed to the large crowds he
says he accomodates.
Harry's Grill reports that or
ders of milk at meals have suf
fered a 50 per cent loss. Coffee
and iced-tea have been backed
off the picture, not to such
arge extent, but to the point
where the waiter has to ask
twice to know if he has heard
correctly. The Coffee Shop re
ports no change at all in the per
centage of its beverage orders
with meals since it adopted the
new liquid.
and Wine!
With the coming of beer there
also arrived another once esot
eric drink 3.2 per cent wine.
Gooch's has been selling this
product in tall, green bottles,
under a quart in capacity, for
$1.50 a throw a tariff that has
held the pleasures in the spark
ling liquid from reaching the
general public. There is an apol
ogetic note on the back of each
bottle, the message in which has
elected much comment.
The message comes supposed
ly from Louis Mouquin, owner
of 'the famous concern, and
reads : "My attitude on the pres
ent 3.2 per cent wines is that
though being far from perfect,
they are better than nothing at
all and I warn you not to ex
pect too much of them. Perhaps,
however, they may help to bring
a renascence of taste which may
later be fully satisfied by wines
which nature, without the aid
of. man's manipulation, can
alone perfect.'-' This is propa
ganda to be sure, but signs can
be heard from every table where
the regal-looking, bottle stands
erect.
Three plays 'presented tonight
at 8 :30 o'clock in the Play
makers theatre conclude a pro
gram of eight studio produc
tions, produced in three bills by
students in play-directing. The
plays tonight are among those
which were written by Play-makers.
James Thompson directs the
opening production, The Queen
Was In The Kitchen, a modern
comedy by Ellen Stewart The
cast is Foster Fitz-Simons, El
len Stewart, Marion Tatum.
Etowah Plantation, based on
a legend of the old south, adds
a touch of romance to 42ie bill.
The two-act drama is written,
directed by Eugenia Rawls. Ac
cording to the legend, while
General Sherman was devastat
ing Georgia he spared only one
plantation Etowah Hall and
that, because of an 18-year-old
vow to a celebrated Southern
beauty. The play will be ac
companied by the Carolina Sa
Ion ensemble.
Martha Hatton
Martha Hatton's Comedy At
Five, in a second performance
is the final production. In the
cast of four are Eugenia Rawls
Margaret Hervey, Forney Ran
kin, and Foster Fitz-Simons.
The program is a season-ticket
ieature, witn otner ticxets at
25 cents.

COOTIE TODAY
Additional Donations Advanced
As Lawn Improvement Cam
paign Gains Momentum.
Developments in the lawn im
provement campaign yesterday
resulted in the donation of addi
tional sums to the swelling to
tal to be used in the repair of
the University mowing equip
ment. Although figures were not
available last night, it is esti
mated that approximately $140
has been collected by the stu
dents in charge of the drive.
The campaign will continue
through Monday night.
Work Starts Today
Official statements from P. L.
Burch of the buildings depart
ment, were issued to the effect
that work would be begun by
one of the power cutters this
morning along with that be
longing to the town of Chapel
Hill. An extended effort with a
dozen or more workers and sev
eral machines will be made
Monday. .
Plans were made yesterday
by campaign leaders to estab-
ish a permanent grounds fund
to be available in the future on
the strength of the present ac
tivity. Although no surplus is
expected from the drive, as $200
is needed for the repair work, a
definite fund is in order' that
can be used with contributions
for any such purpose next year.
Campaign Progressing
Leaders also felt that frater
nities and other organizations
have been responding well. All
donations or pledgings should
be made through St. Anthony
Hall.
Considerably favorable com
ment has circulated throughout
the state regarding the students'
action. ' .
A complete list of all contri
buting organizations and a de
tailed report of the campaign
will be announced in tomorrow's
paper.
GEOLOGY SECTION
PLANS TO STUDY
CAROLINA HILLS
Summer Field Party to Visit Hills
Of North Carolina and West
Virginia in Survey.
Some scenes very favorable
for the study of geology are to
be visited this summer by the
geological field party headed by
Dr. W. F. Prouty.
This trip, which covers the
first session of summer school,
will be taken into the hills of
North Carolina and West Vir
ginia. The first three weeks
will be spent in camps of Blue-
field and the Narrows of West
Virginia. The Narrows is cut
through by two railroads and a
highway, leaving exposed the
upheaved strata and offering a
splendid opportunity for the
study of its rock formation.
At the invitation of S. T.
Henry, an alumnus of the Uni
versity, members of the party
will spend the remaining three
weeks in his private camps at
Spruce Pines in this state.
Spruce Pines is the center of
the state's mineral industry.
Applications from the states
of Tennessee and West Virginia
have been received.
