EXTENSIVE BUILDING
TO
AT AN EARLY DATE
Construction Engineer Arrive and
Prepares for Operation Rail
road and Labor Camp First.
1 MILLION IN 18 MONTHS
At a recent meeting of the Execu
tive Committee of the Board of Trus
tees of the University held in Raleigh
the recommendations of the Build
ing Committee of the Board for the
retention of Mr. Thomas C. Atwood,
one of the best known construction
engineers in the United States, to
be in direct charge of the work of
extending the plant of the University,
and the immediate beginning of
building operations in Chapel Hill
were ratified. This is final and means
that the Building Committee has em
barked on the biggest building pro
ject the University has ever known'.
At first the unsettled state of the
bond market, which was clearly ex
emplified upon the failure of Gov
ernor Morrison to sell state bonds on
his recent trip to New York, gave
indications that building operations
at the University would have to be
delayed. But wtih adequate assur
ances by members of the Board of
Trustees that loans sufficient to keep
the work going will be syndicated
among the bankers of the state,
coupled with the willingness of
alumni of the University to finance
the building program until the state
is able to make advantageous use of
its credit, all financial uncertainties
have been thrust into the back
ground.
Mr. Atwood arrived on the Hill
last Wednesday and will remain here
until the entire project is carried
out. He brings his own organization
with him and will have offices at No.
10 alumni building. As executive
officer of the Building Committee he
will act for it in the placing of con
tracts and in the general supervision
and inspection of the work, and he
will be directly responsible for the
biggest piece of construction work
the University has ever known.
For the past two weeks construc
tion experts have been in Chapel
Hill looking over the ground and
planning the work. Tn the beginning
of building operations, which will
start shortly, a spur track about, a
mile and a quarter long will lie built
from Carrboro to the vicinity of the
building area on the campus, prob
ably in the neighborhood of th.3 pow
er plant. Construction experts con
sulted have said that such a spur to
haul materials would pay for itseJf
in two years of hauling. To un-

PROF. WEAVER
iCH WORK IN STATE
Head of Department of Music Busy
in Conducting Community
Sings.
During the present scholastic year
under the auspices of the University
Bureau of Extension, Prof. B. J.
Weaver of the University Music De
partment, has been doing work
throughout the state. He has made
trips to all parts of the state to help
in conducting community sings and
in organizing permanent community
choruses under local leadership. He
has received many invitations to at
tend musical meetings ofall kinds and
to lecture before many organizations.
The calls are mostly for leadership
of community sings, ectures on com
munity music, and organization of
community choruses.
The usual proceedure of the work
is for Mr. Weaver to lead a well
advertised sing, in a given town. On
this trip he also gives lectures to
representative organizations such as
the Woman's Club, Rotary and Ki
wanis Club, etc. At the meeting of
the community sing permanent
choruses are organized. In his lec
tures Mr. Weaver has interpreted
"Community Music' 'as meaning any
thing that will aid in the developing
the music of the community. Through
this interpretation he is often called
upon to help organize and promote
music in the public schools, pain "mu
sic programs for clubs, etc.
This year Mr. Weaver has lectured
before a number of the schools and
colleges of the state, before the Slf te
Federation of Music Clubs, the State
Council of Physical Education Teacn
ers, and the State Teachers' Asjen:
bly. Late in May he is going out for
a week of organ ratals in the l'f -1
ferent towns of tin State.
CLEMSON LIKELY ON
FODMSCHEDULE
V. M. I. Game to Go to Norfolk.
Davidson Contest Stays at
Winston-Salem.
There has been an honest effort
for the past few weeks on the Dart
of the University athletic authorities
to arrange a football game with the
Clemson College team for September
24th in Charlotte.
The Clemson athletic authorities
have written requesting a place on
the football schedule and if satis
factory financial arrangements can be
made it is almost a certainty that the
University team will play the Clem
son team in Charlotte on September
24th. There has been a good deal of
hesitancy on the part" of the Uni
versity athletic authorities in arrang
ing a game before the University
opens, coupled with the desire to have
another game on the Hill, only the
Wake Forest and Virginia games be
ing scheduled to be palyed on Emer
son field. There was an attempt to
arrange a game with Trinity for an
open Saturday in October, but she
declined the invitation. Clemson
and Carolina have not met since 1915
when Carolina won a close game.
According to an announcement by
Graduate Manager Woolen, the Caro
lina-Davidson game will be played in
Winston-Salem as heretofore, the au
thorities in that city having indicated
their willingness to place at the dis
posal of the two institutions the use
of a park sufficiently large to accom
modate the vast crowds expected to
attend the game. Charlotte made
a strong bid for the game.
At the request of the V. M. I.,
athletic authorities the Carolina-V.
M. I. game, which for the past sev
eral years has been played on Emer
son filed, has been transferred to
Norfolk, although other Virginia
cities were active bidders for the
contest. Norfolk is a great football
town, several inter-collegiate games
being played there each fall, the most
notable being the N. C. State-V. P. I.
contest, and it is thought that by
staging the game there the financial
situation of athletics at CaWnu vill
be greatly improved.
DEAN BRAOSKAW SPEAKS
OF VITAL THINGS IN LIFE
Tells Freshmen Three Great Parts
of Every Man's Life Are
Necessary.
Francis Bradshaw, dean of stu
dents, gave a very interesting and
practical talk to the freshman class
in chapel Thursday morning, April
20. He very clearly showed why the
fathers of the state, who are giving
their sons better advantages and op
portunities than they had, are in
many cases disappointed in their sons.
Men come to college to have their
minds trained for success and many
think that the class room work is
the onlv thine of importance in col
lege life. "But class- room activities
touch only one-third of your life,'
said Mr. Bradshaw.
There are three parts to a man's
life and each has a great importance
in developing him into a man. One
of these things has already been men
tioned, and of the other two-thirds,
one-third is association with fellow
students, and the other third is char
acter, the solid portion of a man's
personality. To a great extent, Mr.
Bradshaw showed the college boys ot
today is not confronted with the ob
stacles which assailed his father.
"The winds of life are the necessities
of life, and the college boy is pro
tected from hem as the willows in
the hollows." Unless he can fill this
lack of conflict with the achieve
ments for a goal which it will touch
his very soul to get, his character will
lark the streneth that it should have
gained. "A life that is free from
handicaps and struggle will lack Mat
third essential, strength of charac
ter." "It does not make any dif
ference how many assets a man has
in material things, if he has in mm
the determination to 'win there is
nothing that can stop him."

11 W. S. ROBERSDN
AGAIN NOMINATED
Chapel Hill Planning to Co-Operate
With the University in Beauti
fying the Village.
At an informal mass meeting of
citizens of Chapel Hill held in the
high school auditorium last week,
Mayor Roberson was informally nom
inated for re-election as mayor. Dr.
Joseph Hyde Pratt, Dr. H. W. Odum,
Mr. J. M. Cheek, Mr. Ralph Andrews
and Mr. Moody Durham were inform-
ally nominated for aldermen. I
At this meeting a great deal of
discussion was held concerning the
beautification of Chapel Hill. The
citizens want to make Chapel Hill a
model town. With this view in mind
the Community Club and citizens are
determined to co-operate with the
University in the beautification of the
town alongside with the growth of
the University. With actual con
struction work to be begun in a few
weeks, University authorities and
townspeople are .preparing to house
the great number of workmen who
will make their homes in Chapel Hill
for an indefinite period.
Optimism concerning the tremend
ous growth and future prosperity of
the University has caused real estate
in this village to rise rapidly in value
during the past few months. Prices
for real estate have been quoted
much higher than the normal price.
The citizens believe that now is the
time in the beginning of the real
growth of the University and com
munity to begin carrying out their
plans of making Chapel Hill a model
town. The men nominated have only
been informally nominated or sug
gested as candidates for the above
named offices. The formal nomina
tions for candidates of the Demo
cratic party will probably take place
at a mass meeting of the townspeo
ple in May.

SECOND GAME OF SERIES WON
FROM VIRGINIA IN GREENSBORO
BY SCORE OF SEVEN TO THREE
THE STAGE IS SET FOR
THREE ONE ACT PLAYS
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
"The Chatham Rabbit," "The Reap,
ing," and "In Dixon' Kitchen"
Will Be Given.
TWO COMEDIES THIS TIME
After a month of intensive re
hearsals, the sixth series of original
one act plays is ready for production
by the Carolina Playmakers, April
29th and 30th. This series consists
of one tragedy and two comedies.
The scene for "The Chatham Rab
bit" is laid in a fraternity hall at
the University of North Carolina.
One of the fellows who is a football
hero from Chatham county and the
most popular man in. the fraternity,
is being teased because of his al
leged bashfulness. He at last makes
a bet to the effect that without the
aid of his money or reputation he
will by the beginning of school next
year rejoice in the possession of a
fiance. A little later in the evening
when the St. Mary's basketball team,
over to play the Co-eds, is enter
tained at the fraternity house, the
Chatham Rabbit shows that under
certain circumstances he can lay his
bashfulness aside.
The scene for John Terry's trag
edy, "The Reaping," is a home in
the suburb? of a city in North Caro
lina. A young business man and
his bride are having a birthday party
in her honor in their new house. The
wife is taken with an illness which
for some time had troubled her, but
which she has kept secret from her
husband. The doctor speaks plain
ly pointing out that there must be
a reaping- to the wild cats which the
young man had sowed in his youth.
"In Dixon's Kitchtn" the romance
bv Wilbur Stout, pictures a pleasant
side of country life. The curtain!
rises on the family enjoying an
abundant , country supper, after the
meal, Lem Isley, who is starting an
early call on Annie Lee Dixon, as
sists her in washing the dishes, the
other members of the family being
finally corraled in the other room

FRED'S FRESHMEN TRIM

Bingham Freshmen Win Five
to Three.
Playing with the same form as in
the Oak Ridge game, the freshmen
sent the Bingham team back to it's
mountain stronghold to the tune of
5 to 3 last Saturday. C)fl."ey hurled
the horsehide beautifully, and with
the exception of the first inning, had
the Binghamites at his mercy, ten
men passed out by the swinging gate
route and no free ticket1 to first
were issued. Three singles were the
culmination of the mountaineer's ef
forts. Burns, for the visitors, also
proved to be a twirler of no mean
ability, he caused five Carolinians to
throw their bats on the ground and
"cuss" the umpire, but the eight hits
that he allowed were conclusive evi
dence. The outstanding feature of
the game was Pittman's sensational
stab of Bennett's long drive to left
field. With his bare right he snatch
ed the flying pill from the ozone
and robbed Bennett of a clean dou
ble. ' Bingham got the lead in the first
act when they made two of their
three hits and scored as many runs.
The Freshmen also captured a tally
in the first, added two more in the
second and another in the third.
Bingham got another run in the sixth
with the aid of two errors and their
final hit. The Freshmen finished
their scoring in the sevejith when
with the bases full Burns walked Fox
and forced Wright in.
The Bingham team was coached by
Nemo Coleman, who was the captain
of the 1919 football team, that put
the kibosh on Virginia with a six to

Fourth Straight from
Virginia.
6,000 WITNESS THE GAME
Captain Harison Pitches for Virgin
ians, Morris and Llewellyn Di
vide Batting Honors.
Hitting the pill hard and frequent
ly, Coach Fetzer's slugging Car
olina nine triumphed over her an
cient rivals, the University of Vir
ginia, in Greensboro Saturday by the
score of 7 to 3. It was not a par
ticularly exciting contest as Carolina
showed after the third inning the
way the game was going and Vir
ginia never even threatened to. win
the contest. Nevertheless the scrap
was interesting throughout, Bryson
pitching himself out of several tight
holes in great style, and Harrison
pitching good ball except for a bad
inning or two.
Herman Bryson was on the mound
for the Tar Heels, and he twirled
a very steady, effective game, allow
ing but eight hits and three runs.
Captain Harrison, the veteran of the
Virginia corps, pitched brilliantly for
the first three innings. In the fourth
frame three timely hits, coupled with
two miserable miscues, netted Caro
lina two scores, and in the fifth the
captain was cruelly treated by the
slugging Tar Heels. Three hits, two
walks and a hit batter gave the Blue
and White men four tallies. Dis
counting these two innings Harrison
acquitted himself nicely. The two
pitchers each struck out six men.
The contest, generally speaking,
was devoid of sensational brilliancy,
requiring two hours and 30 minutes
to play the nine innings. The nearest
thing to a spectacular play came in
the first inning. Mahood caught one
of Bryson's hooks and belted it into
center field for one bag. Prichard
shot a sizzling grounder to McLean
who tossed to McDonald. McDonald,
by a quick throw, nabbed Prichard
at first for a double elimination. The
spectators, many of them Glorious
Girls from the Greensboro college
and North Carolina College for Wo 1
men, applauded hysterically.
Spruill, at the initial post for Car
olina, copped the fielding honors of
the battle, while Captain Harrison,
for the Old Dominion state, landed
the batting trophy, with two doubles
far into the massive crowds in the
outfield.
Virginia, in the toss up, lost, and
took first turn at the plate. Mahood
shot the second ball pitched by Bry
son into centerfield for a base. Prich
ard dribbled a hot one to McDon
ald, who tossed the spheroid to Mc
Lean. The second Mack shot it to
Spruill for a double play. Sexton
sent a slow one to Bryson and was
eliminated at first.
Bryson won undying fame in the
third chapter. Carrington and Par
rish struck out in rapid succession.
The Asheville youth possibly a bit
perturbed with so many compliments
being showered upon him by the
stands, presented Captain Harrison
with a free pass to first. Mahood
shot a wicked liner into Bryson's
glove. Carolina was at the mercy
of Harrison in her part of the third
inning. .
In the fourth stanza Bryson pitch
ed himself out of a bad situation.
Prichard, the first man up, lambasted
the ball into the seething crowd in
right field, taking second, according
to the ground rules. Sexton, nerv
ous with anxiety to register his cap
tain, breezed the atmosphere. Tav
enner made a desperate effort to land
the ball in safe territory, but his
hard hit fly was captured by Lowe.
It was a nice catch and he was round
ly cheered by the 5,000. The ten
sion was dispelled when Stauffer fol
lowed in the footsteps of Sexton
taking the count on three swift ones.
Young Bryson came to the dugout
amid the applause of a multitude of
admirers. ........
Carolina launched a grand push
in the fourth inning. F. Morris start
ed the attack, securing the first hit
off of Harrison. It was a single to
center, but the runner pulled up at
second through Tavenner's error.
Spruill went out with a high fly to
Carrington. Llewellyn hit safely
to leftfield, scoring Morris. It was
a close decision and caused the Vir
ginians to complain bitterly. Par
rish, the Virginia catcher, had plenty
of time to tag Morris had. he been
