As Two Day Get Together Ends State Of University Meeting Sets Forth Recommendations By Dick Creed After tnVintr nff thp wrans and looking at the Consolidated University for two days, the State night said what it thought was o make it risht. The conference dealt with three groups of students those through Group Hears Provost Purks Express Views Dr. James Harris Purks, new ly appointed provost of the Con solidated University, said yes terday that higher education needs "an imaginative leap of genius." "I long to see someone whether currently obscure or currently well-known make an imaginative leap of genius and provide for higher education a simple, orderly basis around which its forces may be con solidated, its purposes clearly stated, and its plan of future service projected," said Dr. Purks. He was addressing a luncheon session of the State -of the University Conference which ended its two-day meet here yesterday. Dr. Purks suggested that "per haps within our own faculty there is a possibility for the imaginative leap of genius. If such phenomenon should appear, the state of North Carolina will be a direct beneficiary, and the nation will be debtor to our institution and to the state which created and supported it." "The healthiest and most ef fective dissatisfaction is that which relates to our own efforts. It prevents us from becoming smug. It calls not only for searching self-apprailsal, but it also calls for a self-delivered di rective to move forward with reference to an absolute scale of greatness." Commenting on Carolina's rec ommendation in other regions of the country, Purks stated, "In over a quarter century of work in higher education I have heard good things about the Uni versity, and have observed them myself. But when it was learned that I had made the very easy decision to come here after Pres ident Gray accorded me the hon or, people whom I would never have expected to have "know ledge of state universities spoke of their high ' regard for our institution." Purks took up his duties as Provost here January 1, succeed ing Logan Wilson, who is now president of the University of Texas.

This new feature in food, popu lar and 35c, is a large hot dog looking bun filled with, ham, cheese, salami, lettuce and toma toes. Before serving it is soaked in butter and toasted. The bringer of the Hoagy is "Doc" Donald Monroe, who has been manager of the Pine Room since September. Monroe, from Salisbury, was formerly with the i Carolina Hotel in Pinehurst, and works summers in Spnnglake, N. J., at the Essex and Sussex Hotels. "Doc" admits having the most reasonable prices of any place he knows. Hamburgers are 20 cents, milk shakes for the same price. "We are serving twice the variety that we did last year, and have twice as many students coming to see us," he said. Special hamburger man D. G. Samuel, Jr., came in at that time, put on his white coat but delayed, his job for a while. "Contrary to monv nfpnsp ii? nf rirv'nf?. we don't put bread in our hamburg- ers," he said. He makes up 30 pounds a day. Off the record, he told about a girl that comes down about every other day to practice modern danc- ing in the back room. She liked pimento cheese on her hamburg- ers, and her chocolate milk had to be made -to order from plain milk and chocolate syrup.
