BUILDING WORK
IN BATTLE PARK
GOING ON FAST
T. C. Thompson and Company
Is Well Organized for Large
Building Program
DORMITORIES TAKE FORM
By Tom Rowland
Five hundred and seventy thousand
bricks are being hauled to Battle
Park to go into three new donnitor-
ies. H.acn oi inese aormuories wm
take care of 112 students. By open
ing of school next year T. C. Thomp
son will have built eight new hous
ing buildings and remodeled the old
"building our grandfathers thought
palatial andf ar too good for student
minds to develop in.
It is hard to go to school and appre
ciate everything that goes on on the
campus. Few of the students even
know the names of the organizations
who are building The Greater Uni
versity. To the Atwood Organization
f Durham goes the honor of having
planned and laid out the future Col
lege of the South, but to T. C. Thomp
son and Company goes the actual
work of constructing a g reat univer
sity. In charge of the work in Chap
el Hill is Mr. Blackfort who inciden
tally drives one of the prettiest lit
tle Buicks in the state. The weekly
pay roll of the company averages
325 names. It is an unusual organ
ization with many features that
should offer an abundance of ideas
to the future citizens in training here
It has a complete blacksmith shop,
its own machine and automobile
shops, and everything thats system
in large scale construction. An unu
sual feature and only possible in a
very large concern is the central plant
used in constructing the Battle Park
buildings. It reaches all the build
ings so well that the only implement
of size necessary to move is the con
crete chute. This cuts concrete costs
in half. Remodelling Cld East pre
sented quite a problem for the Thomp
soi men. The entire niside of the
Luilding was taken out and a super
strong concrete frame now insures a
fireproof building with hte same old
walls saved against Father Time, and
dear to the hearts of the alumni.
There will be no change in the out
wprd appearance of the building.
What a change! If Old Davie
could come back to the University
now and see the railroad running
thru the old campus end see the many
new buildings and the change in the
old Poplar it would be a treat to hear
his exclamations.
It is quite unique for a job to have
its concrete mixer directly in front
of a rock crusher, but this is only one
of the conveniences T. C. Thompson
and his men have on the Battle dor
mitories. Mr. Blackfort is a mod
est man but he could not help but
state his pride in the highly artistic
law building with its stately spire.
It has been proclaimed by experts or.
collegiate structures to be the finest
in the south.
The T. C. Thompson Company and
the Atwood Organization are distinct
in their operations. The Atwood Or
ganization submits tha plans to the
Thompson Company which turns over
to the university on schedule th 1 fin-

Y Cabinet Decides
To Run Movie Show
The.Y. Cabinet meeting last Mon
day night was featured by reports
on subjects ranging all the way from
boy Scouts to the "Pick." with the
Carolina Smoker and the Y. Conven
tion in Charlotte thrown in.
The question of the Y's entering the
ncvie business was brought up and
it was decided by unanimous vote
of the Cabinet that the Y. should do
so. This will be done in the furth
erance of the Y's program of service
:o the student body. In order to meet
thu, need for a "Pick" the Uni--v-
sity granted the Y the use of Ger
ard HaU and rf the
However, a screen and a new ma
chine are needed for high-class mov
ies. In order to thoroughly equip it,
an outlay of $1,000 is needed. A com
mittee composed of Mayor Robinson,
Pres. Chase, Mr. Woollen, Dean Brad
maw, and Secretary Comer thrashed
DUt the problem in all its details, all
agreeing that a good "Piek'; meets
3 definite need. Mayor Robinson will
be forced to lose $1,000 on pictures
jontracted for if they are not shown.
So, in view of this fact, and in view
jf the fact that the Y. doe not have
;he thousand dollars necessary to
jquip Gerrard Hall satisfactorily, it
was decided that the Y. as an experi
ment would get the "Pick" organi
sation to operate the show. They
will get two up-to-date motor-driven
projectors, a new screen, and all oth
jr equipment necessary. They agreed
;o bear all operating costs including
are of building and prie of electric
;urrent. In addition they agreed to
jive the Y. a 20 per cent divident on
,he basis of the price charged at the
Pickwick Theatre. Tin Y. does not
take any part of this bui giv.'s it
back to the student body in the form
)f a 20 per cent cut in prices.
This is only a tentative agreement
which will be tried as an experiment,
in all likelihood the University will
e provided with movie facilities un
il the end of the year in this way,
I owever, the Y. has an optica so that
t can take over entirely the opera
tion of the show if it so desires.
The situation next fail is still to be

Tins will be used as a movie under
the direct control of thj Y. with the
piices from ten to fifte.i cents. This

.IBRARY RECEIVES TWO
OLD STUDENT'S ALBUMS
The Library has just baen presant-
ad with a handsome gift a memen
to of pre-Civil war days, in the form
af two autographed albums. They
were kept by W. I. Garrett, native of
Chatham County, and member of the
:!ass of 'CO. During his college days,
however, he was from Greene County,
Alabama. The albums themselves,
which were secured through Mr. A.
3. Andrews of Raleigh, class of '93,
were shipped to Library by Mrs. J.
Stanhope Brassfield from Demopolis,
Alabama.
The two albums contain informa
tion of two hundred-nineteen Univer
sity students, and are interesting be
cause Mr. Garrett has noted tha mil
itary service of his college m.itej in
die Confederacy. They are for that
.cason very valuable to the Alumni
vffice in checking up the records of
'ornier University men. They are ulso
important in. preserving the records
if the University. Only two of the
wo hundred-nineteen men listed are
now living, so Mr. Andrews thinks.

O'KELLY IS READY FOR
BUSINESS AFTER FIRE
O'Kelly has salvaged all that he
could from the fire wreck in his old
3tand and is moving to the old Pope
Mattress stand on Columbia Street
He will be ready for business on Fri
Jay and expects all his former pa
trons back. At first he will not be
able to give the service as former
ly but he thinks that he can get his
old schedule working again within a
few days.
Cnly two of his four -midlines
were fit for use after their severe
heating, but they will be replaced by
jthers shortly. More than one hun
dred and twenty-five suits, dresses
and coats were burned in the conflag
ration and a big number cf tic'ioU
belonging to individuals. The tickets
ivill bs replaced, but O'Kelly doc-o
not assume the responsibility for th
-lothing, the greater amount oi
,vhich belonged to himself.
Very few changes are being marie
n tha old building as O'Kelly only
jxpects to stay in that position un
iil Mr. Broekwell can rebuild his for
mer stand. However, he has had to
;ut in a heating plant and water for
hw use in cleaning and pressing.
Work cn New Pick
To Be Done by May
Shows and rumors of shows go
floating around over the campus,
while the work of clearing away the
remains of the old Pickwick is going
steadily on. From all the numerous
stories only two are taking mater
ial form, the Y. M. C. A.'s show and
the preparations for rebuilding, the
old Pick. The work on the new Pick
will be pushed to the limit and should
be completed by the first of May.
Then if all present plans work out
Chapel Hill should be . able to boast
of one of the best Movie's in the
State.
Mr. Broekwell in talking of his
plans for the new house, says that
he shall most likely include the space
which was occupied by the 'O Kelly
Pressing Club in the new building,
and shall certainly put in some of the
best machines obtainable. He recall-
id the beginning of the late Pick
which has just last week made its
demise via the fire escape plan-much
to the future betterment of Chapel
Hill Movies. The Pick was built in
1915 and run under his personal man
agement, Mayor Robsrsmi running
me in what is now the Strowd Garage
in competition.
The Mayor soon good naturedly
stopped his show and in 1920 leased
the Pick. Since then he has leased
it yearly and had no competition.
The management has kept pace with
the times in showing the bsst pictures
as soon as they could be secured, but
improvements have been sadly Iack-
ng. Almost nothing has ever baen
done to make the building and ma
chines any better.
Plans for the new building, how
ever, will cover all the weaknesses
if the o'.d building. The largest
eating space possible will be made.
Vew seats much like the old ones
will be used, but probably arranged
in a slightly different order, due to
the shape of the building. Mr.
Broekwell promises that it shall have
all the ventilation necessary to a
first class house and shall be fire
proof as far as possible. The ma
chines will , have some improvement
over the old ones by virtue of bying
new and lacking some of the franky
contrivances of the old ones.
(;fie of the machines that Will be
used in the new building has nheady
been ordered and will be installed in
Gerrard Kali the last of the week. It
will be used by the Y. M. C A. for
(.he present as will the gold fiber
screen, which accompanies it. The
machine is one of the largest makes
of the Motio-graph machines, and
has as many of the fixtures for
showing a good picture as the ok
machines had for breaking reels.

NORTH CAROLINA
IS VICTOR OVER
SOUTH CAROLINA
Gamecocks Suffer Defeat in a
Fast Basketball Game
Score Is 53-19
COBB LEADS SCORING
In the fastest game seen in the
"Tin Can" this year, Carolina's un
defeated Five smothered the South
Carolina Gamecocks last Thursday
night, 53-19. The first half was play
ed in whirlwind style, with the Caro
lina players shooting and passing
with uncanny accuracy. The wide
mr.rgin by which the visitors were
defeated was a distinct surprise, the
Gamecocks having recently trounced
Trinity College, and were fresh from
making a great fight against David
son. Carmichael opened the scoring when
after several minutes of free-for-all '
passing, he dropped in a difficult
shot from the right side-lino. Thu
whole Tar Heel quint then proceeded
to shoot in rapid succession, Cobb
tossing in two foul shots, McDonald
and Devin made field goals and
"Bill" Dodderer smashed through the
Gamecock's defense and dropped in
a shot. The N. C. spurt was tempor
arily checked after a gorl by Cobb,
when on two successive foals, the
South Carolinians were given three
chances at the basket from the foul
line.
With a good lead piled up the Tar
Heels kept their opponents dazzled
and shot at will with unfailing suc
cess. AH efforts to stop them were
in vain and goal after goal was drop
ped in. Swink managed to slip in
two field goals and Abrams made n
single shot after a foul, bringing
the South Carolina total score ti fivei
McDonald as usual, kept the students
in an uproar with his various an
tics and spectacular shots. The half
ended, 33-5.
The second half started off in slow
fashion. Dodi'orer secured the tip
off and the ball allowed to roll out
the court. The game bacame slow
and Carolina began to play in a list
less fashion. Wright made good hiy
two chances from the foul line and
following this Carolina missed shot
after shot, from the difficult kind
to the crip variety. Cobb finally
broke up jinx and rung a basket.
South Carolina then indulged in a
short s;-.urt and Lillard and Wright
ihot a field goal each. By this time
Carolina opened up her big gun.i and
began to shoot again with speed and
accuracy. Towards the end of the
?ame Coach Shepherd began to send
in his scrubs. Johnson, Poole, Line
barger and Koonce went in, leaving
Carmichael the only varsity man o.i
the floor when the whistle blew.
Captain Green was riot in uniform
due to a charley horse that he picked
up in the wilds of Virginia and
brought home with him. The game
was started and ended with an old
time whistle and the time-keeper
kept his pir.tol silent and spared thu
nerves of the audience. The door
keepers were on the elert and Chapel
Hill's superfluous population of home
less canines were for once success
fully kept off the court.
