When completed, the Gra ham Memorial will have seven rooms in the basement, seven rooms on the first floor, and 15 rooms on the sec ond floor. In view of the part these rooms are to have in campus unity, the students, it is believed, will doubt less welcome a detailed description how the interior of the building will look. Beginning with the basement, the corner fo the floor a cloak room, 21 by 12 feet. In general, the main floor is to be of oak, with the exception of the hall, which will be of terrazzo divid ed into panels by marble strips, as is done in the lobby of the new law building. The second floor is practically given up to moderate sized rooms to be used for campus activities. On the east side, by means of folding partitions, these rooms can be thrown into one room, 80 by 21 feet, suitable for either large campus committee meet ings or banquets.

Eight columns with four electric light brackets, one on each side of every column, and a corresponding electric light bracket on each pier, will furnish the light ing for this room. Small tables, ac commodating four or six students to a table, with other fixtures, will .give the cafeteria the appearance of big city "grill." Smoking will be permitted; sandwiches, soft drinks cakes, and coffee, will also be on sale. The cafeteria will be a place for stu dents and all University men who de sire to gather and lounge in utmost freedom campatible with good be havior. The wainscoating will be seven and a half feet high. There will be deep window seats. The en tire room will be furnished in oak with oak beams showing. Food for the cafeteria will be serv ed from a special kitchen, 38 feet long and 24 feet wide, which will be equipped with all the cultinary appa ratus of a first class grill-kitchen. The floor will be of battleship lino leum on concrete. The kitchen will be located at the north end of the building. South of the cafeteria will be a room suitable for a barber shop, 24 by 22 feet, with a white tiled hex agon floor, cement wainscoting, and a hard plaster finish. At the south west corner of the basement will be located a general toilet, with wash rooms. The stair hall and entrance lobby is to be the entire length of the cafe teria by ten feet in width, with a terrazzo floor and a fireproof stair way with composition treads, and wrought-iron rail. ' Underneath the west portico of the stairway will be i located stroage supplies used in the j cafeteria. This storage space will be j 79 by 13 feet, divided into two rooms, j one of which will be used for stor- j age of cafeteria supplies and the oth- j r for spare furniture necessary for j meetings or banquets. Brick walls, a j cement floor and ceiling, and fireproof construction will feature these stor age rooms. Passing to the main floor, one will find located directly over the cafe teria a social room, 38 feet wide and 78 feet long 16 feet high, with a six-foot fireplace at each end of the room. The walls are to be paneled in oak with circle top windows and sjemi-circular transoms over the loors. Fluted pilasters will support the ceiling beams, which will be op en to public view. The finish of this room, it is hoped, will be of oak pan eled walls, which will make it cozy, comfortable, and homelike interior. In this room it is intended to have usual club room furniture, with loung ing chairs, tables, book cases, and usual appurtenances of a first clyss club. Trophies, college pictures, and things of interest to the student will be displayed there. It is intended to have the floor fo oak, and to have rugs as soon as they can be obtain ed.' Directly west of the social room will be the main hall running par il lel with the portico. It will be one hundred by ten feet, and will have a paneled wainscoating and a monu mental staircase at either end. This staircase will bo a continuation of the one in the basement. North from the social room will be a ladies' recep tion room, 21 by 12 feet. Enerance to this room will be obtained through the hall leading in from Fnmklin Street. In addition to the ladies' re ception room, there will also be a ladies' retiring room, giving a suite of rooms avufilable for the use of needed. The room will be connected with the basement kitchen by two dumb waiters. The band, orchestra, publications, campus committees, country clubs, and various other organizations will find a home in these numerous rooms on the second floor. The intention of the Graham Me morial Committee and of the design ers is to provide a building that the student body may gather in with the greatest possible facility, both as to location of building, arrangement, and to make it a central democratic meeting ground for . all students of all schools connected with the Uni versity. , . . . The building will be thoroughly fireproof and the standard of con struction and workmanship will be the same as that of the new law building.

No Adequate Rooms Another very serious defect is the lack of adequate rooms and offices for the carrying on the different phases of the "Y" work. The Cabinet at present meets in the room of the president. One of the features of the Y. M. C. A. wing of the Graham Memorial Building is a cabinet room LOST Two Spanish books from University Cafeteria Friday. Ralph Harding, 5 Strowd Bldg. with permanent desks for cabinet members, and a large number of small offices. Reading Rooms The Y. M. C. A. has been- trying to promote thought and study on relig ious and social questions, and every year starts discussion groups for their consideration, yet has no libr ary and a very poor reading room. And now there is the possibility that the "Y" will be asked to start a de partment of religion with organized courses in the Bible. With a new building this may be done with a greater assurance of success. Many Complaints Cramped by its physical plant, the "Y" has been struggling against odds in its efforts to render a real sevice to the students. Complaints have been frequent and natural. What is the "Y" doing? What can it do? It really has done much, much that is not evident to the casual observer, much that does not attract publicity or flaming headlines, but it is never theless true, that as a force in active touch with the average student's life, the "Y" is on the defensive. Without an attractive building, without room or equipment for adding much to the social life of the campus, without e quipment for properly carrying on the more serious part of its work, this is inevitable. If the "Y" is to do its share in the production of a finer Carolina spirit, it must have an ade quate plant. The realm of the Asso ciation is primarily and distinctively that of the spirit, and its work may have much to do with any attempt to produce a spirit of unity among the ever-increasing numbers of students. 1 The National Underwear for Men, Boys and Children Elastic ribboned garments in wanted weights and colors Athletic Union Suits in popular styles and patterns.

New York Office, 367 Broadway THE DI AND Pffl NOT THE SAME The Two Literary Societies Do Not Hold the Same Place on the Campus For more than a century and a quarter the Di and the Phi Literary Societies have been the driving forces of progress on the University cam pus. They have been the nucleus around which has been built to her student organizations and institut ions of' progress here on the campus. The Di and the Phi Halls are rich in tradition in that they have served as a sort of forum in which every pro gressive movement and every change in the life of the University has been thrashed out. Famous Di-Phi Men The men who have left the portals of the University to achieve most in the world have baen members of either of the Di or the Phi. Men like President James K. Polk, David Low ry Swain, Kemp Battle, Edward K. Graham, Peter Murphey Edwin Alderman and a hundred others were once vital forces in the Di and the Phi. Those alumni of the University who are today most important in the affairs of the State were once mem bers of one of the Societies and all of these men will invaribly tell you that the brighest of their college memories are closely linked with the old Di and Phi Socities. One of the first questions that an old alumnus will ask you when he discovers that you are a student at the University is in regard to the Di or the Phi and the progress they are making on the campus. He will tell you that in the days he was here that the Literary Socities fostered every forward move ment and that above all they engen dered the best sort of student rela tionship and school spirit. Societies Slipping Altho we remember that during last year or so the Di and the Phi were big factors in inaugurating the Publications Union and that they have done other worthy things dur ing our time here, we begin to feel that these two bodies are not what they once were and we frequently assume they are degenerating be cause they do not occupy the same relative positions in University life. As forensic societies they still func tion, but as two organizations meet ing every extra-curriculum need they have given place to near, a hundred organizations. The Publications Union now edits and publishes the Carolina Magazine; the student body has formed a distinct, all-inclusive organisation to care for student gov ernment, and has removed from the literary societies this function form erly exercised 1-y them; Amphotero then and the Freshman Debating So ciety assist them in their function of teaching the art of public speech; and the Wigue and Masque and the Carolina Playmalcers devote them selves exclusively to the dramatic in terest of the University community. Campus Changing According to all indications the student body is undergoing a great transformation, it is being trans formed from a college to a large Uni versity. There are evidences that campus unity is breaking down and that the boys cease to love the tra ditions of the old Di and Phi. It seems that the University is coming to a day when two organizations are not broad enough and they do not satisfy as a means of keeping awake a live and healthy college spirit. The above state of affairs indi cates that with the progress of the University the time and energy of its campus leaders have been called to and inlisted in other phases of col lege life. This shows that the cam pus is fostering a greater number of student organizations today than i even before. From this it is evident i that there is a lack of unity and that the traditional old Di and Phi as semblies have ceased to bo the uni fying forces on the campus. It seems that today the activities arc of various types and that these activities are no longer cordinated and fostered by the literary societies. The times now seem to bo calling I for a co-ordinating force of a differ ent type. However deplorable it may ! be the societies are fast dying out as unifying factors of the student j body. This function is left to be performed thru some other medium. 60,000,000 POUNDS IN ONE TRANSACTION W GroWt,r"'."Z "r-l h 11,, hm, ' t otVS fir Possess,,,,, "' cr tfruwn;,?'.- CroP &! f WffBtt & r, ,us""' 'mail ,v'wky, y The year 1922 was a "vintage year" for Burley tobacco the test Kentucky ever grew.
