Only a few feet smaller than the University's famed Bowman Gray Me morial pool housed in Woollen gym nasium, the pool is being built for the joint use of Navy cadets and students. Construction is expected to be com pleted for use this year. Measuring 150 feet by 49 feet, the pool will be deeper than the indoor 1 pool, which is one of the largest in the South, and will hold 2,000 gallons more water. The specially treated water will be constantly changed by a filter plant. A 15-foot deck will edge the pool and will be bordered with a flagstone promenade. Construction of the pool was begun over two weeks ago by R. L. Stewart Company of High Point and excava tion has almost been completed. Locker facilities of Woollen gym nasium will be used for the outdoor pool and the two units will be connect ed by a flagstone walk. Addition of the outdoor pool to the athletic plant of the University is ex pected to turn swimming into a major item on Carolina's sports calendar and make Chapel Hill the seat of famous Intercollegiate and National aquatic tournaments.

Adequate Facilities Promised Officials Study Expansion Plans Official announcement of the closing of the Lenoir Dining Hall cafeteria to student patronage was made late last night (Friday) by W. D. Carmichael, controller of the University, amid con flicting rumors of the complete turn ing over of the University eating plant to the Navy Pre-Flight unit. Completely closed to students for the second session, the mammoth din ing hall is undergoing repairs and alterations necessary to serve the 1,875 Naval cadets and the normal load of students. Carmichael emphatically denied the complete allocation of the UDH for Navy use. Extremely limited at the present time due to the closing of the UDH, campus eating facilities are under going a strain that administrative officials assert will be remedied by the opening of the Fall quarter. Expan sion of facilities at the UDH and at other University eateries has been in timated but awaits official approval before release. "We reiterate our statement that adequate and attractive eating facili ties will be available to all students by the opening of the Fall quarter," Carmichael stated last night in speak ing for the Administration. Strain was put on the UDH facili ties by the unpredicted fact that the Naval cadets eat from two and one- half to three times as much food as, the normal student. The University has contracted to feed the cadets and is . rearranging and enlarging its facilities to take care of both the cadet corps and the student body. Officials intimated at several pos sible sites of expansion of the campus dining halls.
