Five Workers Poured It All During Night "Long time 'til breakfast" was he consensus of the five laborers who worked all of Friday night On the Mannning Hall construc tion job. . The men in question are con crete finishers who were working An the 24-foot span which forms the ceiling of the first floor of the annex. I Due to sub-ireezing tempera tures Friday morning, the inspec tor could not allow the concrete pouring to begin until 11 o'clock . ,The workmen kept fires burn ing all night to speed .up setting, and, as the foreman pointed out, the hardening concrete will gen erate enough heat itself to pro hibit freezing. "This is one job you really have to stick with," affirmed one of the men cheerfully as he contiu ed working over a portion of the 46 cubic yards of stubborn concrete Saturday morning. -Woollen- (Continued jrom -page 1) total reported may be an under estimate because many minor thefts are unreported. The thiefs, usually operating between class periods when gym attendents are busy, have so far been interested only in cash, leaving other valuables, Cornwall said. The Woollen thefts are the first major flareup of campus crime since August, when a bathrobed thief stole $375 from residents of Manley and Grimes dormitories.

A special girl-getting commit tee, which was formed last week, will be in the parlor of Mclver at 6:55 Monday night to escort girls to Women's Gym, where the class is held. The girls should be ready to leave at 7 o'clock. Last week the committee in vited Alderman girls, and enough of them attended tht class to lessen the wide gap in the men to women ratio. Monday night the committee hopes that there will be an equal number of each. Dance steps taken up Monday night will be the shag, jitter bugging, and fox trot. Although the committee will be at only one dormitory, all coeds are invited to attend the " class. "Unless we have more girls, the class will never be a complete success,," Lib said, "So I urge every coed to come to the gym Monday night and join the class." John Lehman works with Lib in teaching the class, and time is allotted to both beginners and advanced dancers. -4 -DAPHNE SYLVA Ducat Prices For 'Barber Are Reduced CAMPUS BRIEFS Engineer H. E. Thompson said yesterday that since "opening shop", three weeks ago, his office had acquired copies of practically all plans and specifications for the University expansion program. Before the war, the University Engineer's post was a full-time job, but due to the war-time interruption of the engineer's ser vices and his death soon after wards, the post had remained un filled until Thompson's appoint ment. The work normally done by the engineer's office therefore fell on the shoulders of other university officials. Of the present construction, Thompson stated that work on the University Filtration Plant, located on University Lake .Road is 80 percent qomplete, and should be in full operation by spring holidays. The addition to the power plant in 10 percent com- VALENTINES Now on Display You'll find just the right message for each friend and loved one in our wide variety of fine Valentiness.

The University Medical School expansion, the largest project now underway, is estimated as 4 per cent completed. Retaining walls for the drives and parking areas on the north side of the hospital should be built within the next week or ten days, stated the engineer. Thompson pointed out that plans for ' the chemistry build ing addition, new dormitory, and three ' commerce , school buildings are in the hands of the architects and engineers. Bids. on this work will be taken within the next 30 or 60 days, the engineer stated. , Thus it seems that the Univer sity Engineer will be be "Johnny on the spot" while the campus is undergoing the vast expan sion program. A number of reduced-price tic kets to The Barber of Seville," Giocchino Rossini's famed comic opera which will be presented in the ' Raleigh Memorial Audi torium Feb. 2, will go on -sale here this week. The time and place will be. announced later in the Daily Tar Heel: Special buses have been char tered for the round trip, said Mrs. P. J. Young, who is in charge of Chapel Hill ticket sales. The tickets, which will cost students $1.23, normally sell for $1.85, but the price reduction has been made to encourage student interest in the production. This highly amusing and mel odious comic opera, starring Daphne Sylva, which has been a world-wide favorite for 134 years, will - be presented with complete orchestra and male chorus by the Charles L. Wagner Opera Company. The Wagner production, which is making its fourth tour with "The Barber,' has been praised highly by critics in every city in which it has appeared. Norman "Cordon, former Metro politan Opera Company star now working for the University Ex tension Division, said yesterday of the Wagner production, nave known Mr. Wagner and his touring opera productions for many years. 'They 'have always been of nign quaury, leatunng young American singers. Mr. Paul Breisach is an excellent conduc tor and I feel sure that the forth coming performance of Rossini's "Barber of Seville" will be most entertaining and enjoyable."

Hewes liked the young ad venturer, too, and secured for him a commission in the newly born American navy. Before his departure from "The Grove," John Paul asked that he might adopt the name of the friend who had given him a new chance Willie Jones. Thus he be came Captain John Paul Jones, a man who was to become the most famous naval hero of all time, and -whose great spirit would echo forever in his daring words, "I have just begun to fight.? . . In his early years, Willie Jones headed the gay, aristocratic so ciety of Halifax. The music of the harpsichord and happy, youthful laughter of sen niled the great halls of "The Grove;" the young planters spent frosty morn ings chasing the red fox. But as the battlecries Of the Revolution became louder, Willie put these pleasures aside. . Through the great bay window of his parlor, Willie saw the fate of his country changing. Like the famous Scotch sea captain, he became a patriot. In 1774 he was a delegate to the Provincial Congress at New Bern. In 1775 the Continental Congress named him Southern Commis sioner for Indian Affairs. He be came leader of the radical patriot group in the State, even fighting group in the State, fighting against the pro-British conserva tism of such men as his- own brother, Allen. By the age of 35, Willie was virtually Governor of the independent state of North Carolina, and in 1780 he went to the Continental Congress in Phil adelphia Following the war, Willie, came home to "The Grove" at Halifax, but did not retire from public high plateau in New Guinea. life. He fought for and won the establishment of the new state capiioi m waKe tJounry, at a place which became the city of Raleigh. Next he turned to his educational program and ideas for a state university. When Willie Jones died in 1801 and was laid to rest at his sum mer home in Raleigh, the Raleigh xiegisier ana XNonn Carolina ua zette noted: "A liberal education of the youth in any country must tend to promote the haDDiness and prosperity of the people," said the popular leader. In 1792 the small wooded settlement of New Hope Chapel Hill in Orange County was selected as the site of the University of North Carolina, the first state university in America Carolina nas not produced a son of greater mental endowment I O than Mr. Jones; no one who lived more universally and deservedly respected or died more affection ately and sinserely regretted." "tienius Will Out," written by Wells Robinson and produced by the Communication Center, will bring to the radio audience of the "University Hour" the legend of Willie Jones and John Paul Jones, against the exciting background J of the -Revolutionary days in which they lived.
