According to Mr. Rankin, who has charge of the Re unions, indications are that a large number of the Alumni will be back on the Hill to renew friend ships with their class-mates. The Faculty have decided to let the dances go on as usual this year. The Dance Leaders report that Handy's will probably be the Orchestra. If Handy's Orchestra cannot be secured, every effort will be made to get Don Richardson of New York. Richardson's Orches tra is said to be one of the best on the Atlantic Seaboard. The Uni versity will very likely use the University Band for all occasions requiring music. On account of the war, the dances will Homer ize and be as simple as possible ; expenses will be cut to the mini mum. In carrying out this policy, all refreshments will be of the sim plest kind, and dance decorations will be as attractive but as inex pensive as possible. Flowers, feeds, and flivers have all been made contraband. The following me n have recent ly left the Hill to spend a few days at their respective homes, be fore joining the service: R. C.

(Continued on Page 3) POWELL CHOSEN CAPTAIN OF 1919 BASEBALL TEAM At a recent meeting of the base ball team Jack Powell was unani mously elected captain for next year. This action of the team fol lowed as a result of Powell's good work, both as pitcher and leading batter on the team this year. He has the hearty support of every man on and off the team and with five or six letter men back next year there is no reason why Caro lina should not go over the top in baseball. RUTHERFORD COUNTY BULLETIN Rutherford County : Economic and Social is the title of a new bulletin to be issued by the Ruth erford County Club in a few days, this being the fourth bulletin of this kind to be issued by County Clubs at the University this year. The publication of this bulletin is made possible solely through the efforts of Mr. R. E. Price, who has done all of the work on it. Mr. K. S. Tanner, of Caroleen, an alumnus of the University and member of the class of 1911, is financing the cost of publication. THE UNIVERSITY'S NEW 1125,000 PHYSICS BUILDING ALL PLANS MADE FOR NEW PHYSICS BUILDING WORK WILL BEGIN RIGHT AFTER COMMENCEMENT AND END BEFORE SEPTEMBER COST TO BE 125,000 DOLLARS Monument to Progress of the Univer sity Will Be Shared by the Depart ments of Electrical Engineering and Pure Mathematics Among the many improvements which Carolina men will see when they return to the Hill in Septem ber, the greatest perhaps will be the new physics and engineering building. The building as planned will be one of the most modern and best equipped of its kind in the South, and will equal those of Yale and Harvard. The site chosen is midway between Peabody Build ing and Memorial Hall. Fash ioned after the English Colleg iate style of architecture in red tapestry brick with limestone trimmings and basement, and with an abundance of windows, this modern two story building will stand for 'the bigger and greater University of the future. Besides being of concrete and with steel beams the building will have the most perfect and modern fire proof system known. The department of Pure Mathematics will share the building with the engineering and Physics department. The large, well-ventilated base ment, containing an Electrical Engineering and dynamo room, Civil and Electrical laboratories and work shops, together with class and lecture rooms will be turned over to the Electrical En gineering students. The Civil Engineering depart ment will use the first floor, which will be equipped with all modern conveniences, blue print room, cement laboratories, etc. The departments of Mathema (Continued on Page 2) NOTICE All Tar Heel bills must be paid at once.

(Continued on Page 2) ATHLETIC TEAMS HONORED IN SPIRITED MASS MEETING From the uproar of voices, the sound of yells, and the appearance of co-eds in Gerrard Hall last Wed nesday night one was reminded of the night before Thanksgiving, the time when the football team leaves for Richmond. In the most spirited meeting of the year the' student body met to show its ap preciation to the various athletic teams for representing it so suc cessfully during the past colleg iate year. Albert Coates opened the meet ing, by reading the results of the election which took place Wednes day afternoon, after which he in troduced Profesor Collier Cobb who showed his usual "pep." lie showed where the Phi Beta Kappa man does not always succeed be cause he sometimes fails to de velop his brawns along with his brains. He said that there were men on the teams, however, who were leaders in their classes, in the different phases of college life, and finally leaders in the world. After Professor Cobb's peppy speech Dr. Lawson gave a review (Continued on Page 6) OVER 1100 MEN IN THE SERVICE To give its utmost to the war for democracy has been the shin ing light in the achievement of the University during the ' past year. Every department in carry ing out its regular work has' given the war work of the Government the right of way. The faculty has willingly granted leave of absence to 17 of its members whose ser vices were desired by the govern ment. Students and alumni have gone and continue to go until the total number of Carolina men in the service up to date is over 1100. This number includes two briga dier generals, five colonels, 16 majors and 75 captains. One of the most interesting and far reaching phases of the Univer sity's war service is its Extension work, which has been greatly in creased in scope and efficiency since the war began. The Extension idea is not a novel one at the Uni versity, but the war has organi zed and developed the Extension work to a degree not thought pos sible by many -critical outsiders. A new feature of the Extension work and one that has attracted great attention in the state and throughout the United States is , the War Information Service. The purpose of this Service is to bring the University into contact with the communities of the state and with the individuals of this state and of the nation. This purpose is accomplished by means of lec turers sent from the faculty and through bulletins and phamplets dealing with America's relations to the world conflict. Sixteen copies of this reading matter have already been printed and dis tributed. During the year Ex tension Centers were organized at Raleigh and Winston-Salem and others are to be started soon. In addition to conferences on definite topics in thesQ center,s a great many lecturers are sent out to all parts of the state. The publica tion oi leaflets is the unique fea ture of the division on direct pub licity on why we are at war and why this is our war. FIEST CENTEB IN WINSTON-SALEM The first University extension center was orgaized at Winston 1 Salem in February. France was the general subject discussed at the Winston-Salem center. Groups of all kinds of people attended the lectures and confer ences at Winston-Salem. Print- ers, tobacco manufacturers, hard ware dealers, merchants, and drug gists, were included in the number. One prominent citizen of this city said he "got more out of one lec ture than reading all the news papers. I wish the government would print a million copies of the lecture and put them in the hands of all slackers. We know the facts, but had not organized and interpreted them. I am con vinced that the people are deeply (Continued on Page 4) -"..
