There is hardly any doubt about
the fact that a irew dormitory for
co-eds will be one of the build
ings constructed from the recent
appropriation of $1,650,000 to the
University" for permanent im
provements by the last Legisla
ture, according to Mrs. Russell,
matron of women students. The
final decision on this matter, how
ever, rests in the hands of the
buildings committee of the Uni
versity board of trustees meeting
on the Hill this week.
1'lnns for this, the first building ever
purposely to be erected for co-eds at the
University, were drawn by the T. C At-
wood Organization sometime ago. The
Atwood Organization is planning the ar
rangements of all buildings for the next
fifty or a hundred years in the future
and are building many castles in the air,
or in blue print, according to the near
ness of the time for constructing the
building. The coeds dormitory is the
pending problem new.
The building if voted through is to bo
located in -what is known as Hatch; I'arlc I
on the site of tiie faculiy tenuis courts,
and is to be made the central building
for any number of additional buildings
necessary in the future. Tentative plans
include space for about KHl women which
means fifty dwelling rooms. In addition,
there will be a dining hall, a kitchen.
parlors, etc. The original plans also in
cluded a gymnasium with its parapher
nalia and apparatus and a swimming
pool, but it is thought that the cut iu
the University budget by the legislature
will necessitate the elimination of these
luxuries, for the present at least, in that
they are denied now even to men

circle of small buildings for the women

was to have its own dining hall hoping
that with smaller numbers, the etfect
would be a more homo-like atmosphere.

on account of the great expense involved !

dining hall and headquarters, so to speak,

From all over the State, and from other

The dining room of Russell Inn was

BUILDING COMMITTER Win
HOLD SESSION HERE MONDAY
TO PLAN FUTURE PROGRAM
J. O. HARMON'
President of the Student Body
I am opposed to the building of a
co-ea dormitory for four reasons:
(1) I am opposed to co-education as
a principle; but, granting that we hav
it permanently, I believe that it should
be limited to professional students, lo
cal residents and members of the erad.
uate school, for whom we now have suf
ficient facilities.
(2) The State has provided amnle
1 acuities for women students at Greens.
boro and Greenville.
(3) The University will need every
penny of the reduced budget to take
care of the boys.
(4) A greater number of co-eds will
make necessary more stringent campus
regulations for the boys.
BE SURE AND VOTE
The Tar Heel, in conjunction with
some of the leaders of the campus,
feeling that this co-ed dormitory
proposition endangers the future of
the University, will take a campus
vote tomorrow, in an effort to get
the sentiment of the campus, which
we believe to be against co-education.
Be sure and get a ballot and
cast your vote. The results of this
vote will be presented to the Build
ing Committee which will meet here
early next week.
BALLOT
neers in the field, had gained benefit
from the University, and now they were
earnestly rejoicing in the greater oppor
tunities opening to women at Carolina.
Certainly they, the University's alum
na.', have records that do honor to Caro
lina. The list of their names includes
women high in many professions, and
of deeper significance than this is the
fact that they are taking the verv highest
stand in the State today. Some names
stand out especially Miss Mary Hen
derson. Miss Julia Alexander and Miss
Katharine Robinson, lawyers; Miss Emi
iie Watts McVea.: nresiilenr ' nf
briar College ; Mrs. Archibald Hender
son of Chapel Hill, and the late Mrs.
l'.dward Kidder Graham
This list may be lengthened to include
many more, and these co-eds of vesterdnv.
schools for the education of girls todav
I can see no reason why this institu
tion on account of just the mere prefer
ence of some girls should spend its mon
ey on building a co-ed dormitory at this
time. Such a building would bring a
large number of co-eds here next vear
and a stUl larger number the next. I
am opposed to co-education to this ex
tent under the present condition of the
University, but I am in favor of open
ing our doors wide to all co-eds who
wish to enter our graduate schools.
Then, if the number so increases, build
them the dormitory that they are now
seeking.

The University Buiidine Com
mittee will hold a session her
next Monday to determine what
use will be made of the $i.6so.ooo
appropriated by the Legislature
for buildings and general im
provements. The most important
question that will face the com
mittee is the advisability of sink
ing between $250,000 and $i?o.-
000 of this sum in a woman's dor
mitory and thereby sanction for
all time co-education at the Uni
versity. A woman's dormitory is one of the
items listed in the budget presented the
Budget - Commission by Dr. Chase and
the committee appointed to draw up the
University requests, and it is eenernllu
understood that considerable pressure hag
been brought to bear on the Committee
to include such a building iQ the pro
gram. It has been reported, however,
that when the Budget Commission made .
its recommendations, one of the reasons
the requests were so sliced was that rht

The University still has strict limita
tions on the admission of women. They
are .required to have had two years work
in some other college before admission
unless they are residents of the town of
l Impel Hill. l the latter case alone!
"nty they be admitted to the freshman
undergraduate class, lteqtiirenients for
admission to the professional and grad
uate schools, however, are the same as
those for men.
There ure two reasons for this restric
tion on the number admitted to the under
graduate University. The first is the
lack of accommodations for co-eds in
Chapel Hill, and the second is that as
oug as the college (it Greensboro re

The above resolutions impress us as
being about the most indefinite and
ludicrous assemblage of nonsensical and
sentimental rubbish that could be found
in the history of grammatical phrase

forth more and bettor reasons than the

tion for the building program.
I'.efore the cut: in the desired appro
priation of SJ,317.:W(, it had been de.
cicien to entirely renovate the two ,,r
the old dormitories which 'were in the
worst condition. (Two from the Old
Kast, Old West. South. New Uast. and
New West group.) These buildings were
to be gutted, leaving only the walls stand
ing, nnd then were to be rebuilt. Much
of the intended program will necessarily
have to be omitted, but preliminary
studies are being made preparatory to
getting out plans for the work on those
buildings whiih is decided to be abso
lutely necessary bv the building
nitlee. These plans can not he definite
ly made until the committee has taken
action on the matter:. Work on a new
floor for Gerrard Hall has already been
begun. .
The decision of the committee regard
ing the distribution of the niinroormKim
will be made public soon after their meet
ing on the liith and Oth f this month.
The decision of the' 'committee will have
to be signed by the governor before it
will be absolutely certaim '
If the Committee meeting here decides
to build a woman's dormitorv nt th
University it will decide for all time that
the University will be open for women
students iu unlimited numbers. Such a
decision will be 0p(,n llm,ti()n for .
co-education here, and within a fw
years it will be necessary to continue
this expansion for the women students.

It is known that there is certain oro-.

tion of co-education here, and that Roma
of the leadine politicians of the State
are leaning this way nnd in some cases
straddling the fence on account of this
sentiment prevailing especially among '
the women. Judging from the sentiment
expressed by the students interviewed by
the Tnr Heel here at the University,
however, the sentiment is almost unani
mous against co-education. ,;
