$12,000,000 Hit!
UnivensHy Medical Center
Health Program Keystone
By Vaxdy Buckalew
On Pittsboro road high above
Carolina's campus is a mammoth
$12,000,000 medical center , which
will be the keystone in the state
wide health program now under
way. Construction on the assorted
medical buildings is progressing
almost according to plan, accord
ing to University officials. When
complete, the University medical
center will offer a health division
unique in many respects to other
such organizations.
In the Medical Center will be
the schools of medicine, pharmacy,
public health, dentistry, and nurs
ing, and the North Carolina Me
morial hospital. The organization
forms the newly created Division
of Health Affairs of the Univer
sity. . :
The reasons for this new di
vision of the University and for
planning buildings in close physi
cal proximity were pointed out by
its administrator, Dr. Henry Clqik,
in the first progress report of the
Division to the people of the State
in 1950. They are:
1. The purposes of the various
units are closely allied and co
ordination of the several pro
grams can best be obtained by
having one overall administrative
organization. , . . ,
2. Students in several of the
division's schools often must take
courses in the same subject.

3. A close grouping of buildings
will save time for students and
staff in going from class to class.
4. The existence in Chapel Hill
of all primary training programs
in the health field will make for
completeness of training in each
field.
5. By living and working and
playing together, the students in
the several units of the Division
at Chapel Hill should develop a
team philosophy of service which
will carry into their home com
munities in later years.
6. The comprehensive service
which can be rendered at this
site is impressive because of the
extensive and varied facilities
which are being developed in the
health field in Chapel Hill. :
7. A great stimulus to research
will come from the fact that all
branches of the health sciences
are represented in a concentrated
area.
The main, objectives . of the
Division are to help coordinate all
phases of health activities in the
state for the good of the people
of the state; economize by com
bining courses required in dif-
feernt professions; and to bring
about the broadest cooperation
among professional people. This
undertaking of the Division has
been described as the first at
tempt to coordinate a whole state's
health program in one place.

Transition Wow
Taking Place
In Library
... By Waller Dear
"Students are good sports" to
bear up under present conditions
at the University Library, Charles
E. Rush, head librarian said yes
terday, but they can hope for
more room, more quiet, and more
books by next April, he indicated.
r A day-to-day moving process by
several library departments plus
construction work have kept the
usually quiet building in a con
stant state of activity in the last
two years. Yet, students already
are taking advantage of the addi
tion to the library and will be
able to use almost all new rooms
by April 18 if present construc
tion work continues on the same
level.
Now in use are Economics and
School of Business Administration
room located on the west wing,
main floor, a ground floor room
temporarily housing administra
tion offices and' the Southern His
torical Collection, and a catalogue
and staff room occupying the new
second floor east wing.
When the addition is complet
ed, book capacity and reading
room space, in other words, total
library facilities, will be doubly
increased. Every book in the
building will be moved into the
1,000,000 capacity building. This
includes 565,000 volumes, 100,000
of them boxed now located in
hallways, 50,000 maps, and 2,000,-

ew Interim Preside
(Special to The Daily Tar Heel) '
RALEIGH, Dec. 1 Ken Penegar, chairman of the UNC delega
tion to the 15th annual North Carolina Student Legislative Assem
bly, became the president of the 1951-52 Interim Council in an un
contested election yesterday.
The election by" acclamation came during the joint session of
the mock General Assembly being held in the Capitol building in
Raleigh this weekend. Elected as Secretary-treasurer of the cbun-
Symphony Concert
Set For Tonight
A varied program of music
will be presented tonight at 8:30
in Hill hall by the University
Symphony Orchestra. The or
chestra will play Francois Coup
erin's Overture and Allegro, and
Brahm's "Variation on a Theme
by Haydn" as well as two modern
works, "The Walk to the Para-
dise Garden, by Delius and "Sym
phony 5Vz " by Don Gillis.
Symphony 52 is a "symphony
for fun." The music is based, ac
cording to the composed, on idio
matic devices found in jazz and
other folk sources indigenous to
the American musical scene. The
result is music in rare good hu
mor, which through its brilliant
orchestration and subtle rhythms,
has danced its way into amazing
popularity. The composer, Don
Gillis, was born in Cameron, Miss
ouri, in 1912 and is now on the
production staff of NBC in New
York, producing the NBC Sym
phony broadcasts with Arturo
Toscanini and other world-famed
conductors.

from colleges unrepresented on
the calendar.
A UNC omnibus bill for "the
betterment of general welfare in
the state of North Carolina" was
considered part by part. Of the
four parts, two concerning birth
control were passed by both
houses. The other two parts which
