full details of the mammoth project.
Motion picture equipment and stu
dios are expected to be available by

whole, it is tioped that the Communi
cations center will serve as a center
for academic training in all fields of
communication, Wynn said.
Besides the director, the Communi
cations center staff includes O. W.

teria to meet the needs of the center;

tion; Jane Grills, director of radio;

Students in Town
Will Pick Up Bids
In YMCA Sunday
Whit Osgood, President of

ies. Dormitories to be included

ham, Lewis, Aycock, Mangum, Ruffin,

recorded at the YMCA student direc
tory. All other men, living in places
other than the above dormitories, have
been classified as town students and

Lounge of Graham Memorial on Sun
day and Monday from 10 a. m. to 6
p. m.
Check by Union
Osgood stated that if a dormitory
man fails to receive a delivered bid
he should check by Graham Memorial
j as discrepancies in names and ad
dresses on certain bids have made it
necessary to keep these bids in the
general file at the Baby Lounge.
All men receiving bids have to visit
the houses rushing them at least once
on either Sunday or Monday. These
two days are required visiting and
new men failing to observe the regu
lation may be dropped from pledging
privileges. Men going to the Tennes
see game and getting back late Sun
day night may still get their bids on
Monday and visit that night.

Sunday, Nov. 10 3:00-6:00 p. m.
and
7:30-10:30 p. m.
From Saturday at 6 p. m. when the
bids will be delivered, a complete si
lence period will be invoked on new
men-fraternity men relations and all

rushing period, with the exception of
the visiting hours, until Wednesday,
November 13, when the new men will

tions through the office of the Dean
of Men.

of the rushing rules, and fraternities
