White Phantoms Open Season
GLAMACK LEADS
CAROLINA RALLY
WITH 27 POINTS
Cagers Tangle
With Catawba
Tonight At 8
By SHELLEY ROLFE
In danger of falling completely out
cf sight several times in the early
parts of the game, the Carolina bas
ketball team hit something approxi
mating top form in the second half
and defeated Appalachian, 58-49, at
Woollen gym last night in its first
regularly scheduled game of the sea
son. Refusing to believe the reports of
sensational White Phantom successes
against some of the best semi-pro
teams in the state, the Mountaineers
led by a tall Hill-Billy named Byron
Stuart, who stood under the basket
tapping in field goal after field goal,
began scoring points in wholesale lots
midway the first period, kept adding
them with amazing speed and led, 26
23. at the half. At the time great fear
was expressed among the spectators
for the safety of the Carolina team
and many felt the boys might have
dificulty answering the bell against
Catawba tonight in the gym at 8
o'clock.
SECOND HALF - ...
But there came the grand awaken
ing in the second half. The Phantoms
took over the point-making controls.
Mr. George Glamack became he scor
ing biggie; Paul Severin and Jimmy
Howard the spark-plugs and when it
was all over Glamack had 27 points
and Carolina the victory. Bill Lange,
who is handling his first Tar Heel
outfit, didn't say so, but he knew that
he had a club that would be able to
keep above water in any kind of com
petition once it begins operating with
mid-season efficiency.
Carolina took an early lead and
held a 16-11 margin at quarter-time.

Lacking Finishing Touches,
New Dining Hall Is Now Open
$210,000 Plant .
Can Seat Over
1,050 Persons
The recently completed University
dining hall went into operation Tues
day as the winter quarter began and
students returned to the campus to re
sume work.'
The $210,000 plant is a great im
provement over Swain hall, the old
cafeteria, and will be capable of serv
ing more meals and at a lower cost
to the student.
The new dining hall, which will have
over twice the seating capacity of
Swain hall, or 1,050, includes three
separate dining rooms, two cafeteria
and one luncheonette style, and is said
to be one of the finest and most modern
in the country.
LOCATION OF BUILDING
The structure, which is 200 feet long
and 121 feet wide, 'is located directly
south of the Law Building- and east
of the Commerce School, directly be
tween and in close proximity to both
classrooms a"hd dormitories.
Atwood and Weeks of Durham were
the architects, and A. H. Guion and
Company of Charlotte the general con
tractors. It was constructed with a Federal
PWA grant and loan as a self-liquidat;
ing propect. The University's share
is to be paid out of the revenues there
from without a cent of cost to the state.
The old dining hall was feeding ap
proximately 1,400 students at the low
average daily cost of 70 cents for three
and 50 cents for two meals, and mak
ing a small profit at the same time.
FEEDS ECONOMICALLY
University authorities estimate that
the new, modern plant will enable it
to cut labor and other expenses, "rather
than increase them, and to feed, still
larger numbers for the same or less
money.
E. F. Cooley, manager of the dining
hall, has received much of the credit
for its about-face in popularity and
business the last three years.
The year before he took it over, the
number of boarders had fallen from
600 to approximately 250 students (the
rest ale at private places out in town) ,
and with each drop in patronage food
and service naturally fell off further.
This was not the fault of the Uni
versity nor the students nor those in
charge at that time. The plant and
system had just gone out of date, even
as they do in private businesses. And
the University did not have the funds
at the time to renovate and remodel.
SWAIN HALL REOPENS
After a year's shutdown, a limited
sum was finally made available, and
with a little -paint and remodeling,
plus a change to cafeteria style, Swain

U. S. Voters Lead Students
In Support Of
American Student Opinion
Surveys Make Coast-to-Coast
Referendum of Collegians
Although a good majority of Ameri

president, campus opinion has not kept
pace with the increasing support that
the U. S. voter has been giving the
chief executive since the European
war broke out. .
A coast-to-coast referendum of col
legians taken by the Student Opionion
Surveys of America shows that more
than three out of every five "gen

of one percent -less than the vote of
approval students gave F. D. R. a
year ago this month, according to the
continous index of his popularity that
the survey has kept. These scientific
polls of college thought are conducted

MAKE COMPARISONS
Significant are the comparisons
that now, after more than a year of
measuring student opinion, the Sur
veys can make with other national
polls. It is clearly shown that the
moving world and national events of
recent months have not influenced
student opinion as much as national
opinion, which since the start of the
war has far outstripped the collegians
in approvavl of the president. Here is
the record:
Approve of FJXR. Dec. '38 Now
Poll of U.S. Voters 55.5 64.9
Poll of U. S. Students ..62.8 61.9
Thus, while last December there
was a greater percentage of studeiits

of voters, events since then have

versity of North Carolina by the Uni
versity board of trustees on December

greater devotion to the University. He
came by this devotion by inheritance.

versity in the class of 1897 and it was
here that his father and mother first
met. He and his three brothers were
