J . Page Four THE TAR HEEL Saturday, May 14, 1927 Graduate Students May Have Private Dormitory Next Year Plans Meet with Approval of Graduate Dean and Busi i ness Manager. PROBABLY BE OLD SMITH Advanced Students Want More Quiet and More' Fellowship; Entire Graduate Club Behind Proposition. . ', The graduate students at the Uni versity are to have a dormitory re served for their use, if present plans are carried to completion.' ' For some time the graduate students of the University of North Carolina have felt the need of a special dormitory for occupancy by advanced students. " The lack of fellowship among gradu ate students, the absences of conveni ent rooming facilities for graduates who wish to live together, and the great need for quiet on account of the Intensive nature of their, studies these are only a few of the obvious reasons why a special building should be provided for the advanced students. Early in September the executive committee of the Graduate Club of the University took cognizance of present inadequacy, and saw fit to in quire into the possibilities of securing special rooming quarters for the mem bers. Investigation confirmed a very positive student sentiment in favor of such a proposal. Further inquiry revealed that the Dean of the Gradu ate School and the Business Manager of the University were not indiffrent to the proposal. " Recently a committee of students has been appointed to consider further the original suggestion and formulate a plan for the details of arrangement for the new plant. 1 It is hoped that the University will ultimately con struct an up-to-date dormitory with adequate study rooms and bed rooms with special lounging or reading rooms pn the first floor. It is also hoped that the building will be located so as to insure the maximum quiet and the minimum noise from external disturbances. ' In the event that the University builds no new dormitory for a while, it is expected that a temporary plan will reserve one of the present buildings (probably Old Smith which will be re-worked im mediately) to supply the need. Ready by September The Graduate Club held its last regular meeting of the year Thurs day night at which time the commit tee on the dormitory proposal report ed that no less than fifty single men Btndents had expressed a desire to live in the building, that a number of sin gle instructors had also" requested residence privileges, and that other students had not been given an op portunity to express their desires. Mr. C. T. Woollen, Business Man ager of the University, was present at the meeting, and he assured the Club that the administration would try to carry out the wishes of the stu dents in regard to the proposal. The Graduate Club feels that the separate dormitory is now practi cally assured and should be ready for occupancy by September. When the new residence is made ready, the University Graduate School will be provided with an asset that only a few of the larger Eastern Universi ties now have. Senior Week Outfits The Senior outfits this year will be somewhat different from those which the Seniors of past years have chosen to wear during senior week. Those in charge have worked out a plan with Jack Lipman of the University Shop by which he is to furnish, the senior class with outfits which consist of a cane, a soft, white Panama hat, and a hat-band of the class, colors. This plan :does away , with the wing collar and the tie of class colors, but it. is thought that the hat and hat-band will be' a more lasting semblance of col lege days-for use in future class meetings and reunions. The hat will be very durable, and can be rolled up and packed away for future use. The cane will be the only article which will lend dig nity to the make-up. Jack Lipmari of the University Shop requests-that all those Seniors who have," not. ; already done so call by the Shop as soon as possible and sign up for their outfits as only a limited number are, 'to be ordered. The cost of the, entire outfit will be only two dollars and fifty cents. NOTICE Bids are open for refresh ments for approximately 300 people for the Senior Ball, Fri day, ; May 20.

WHITMAN PRAISES LAW PROFESSION President American Bar Asso ciation Speaks to Law ; School. " ' . "The Law Schools of this country today are particularly fitting men to become statesmen and legislators," declared Hon. Charles S. Whitman, twice gov ernor of New York and now president of the American Bar Association, speaking to stu dents of the Law School Mon day morning in the Law Build ing. "In the same manner that West Point trams soldiers, An napolis trains sailors, the law schools are turning out national and local leaders." The law profession is one that rewards only the most diligent with success. Steady consistent work is one of the requisites. This work is not a drudgery on the contrary, there is no more, inspiring, absorbing, or dramat ic scene than that presented by the court room. -Success re quires work, but, "I have found no, substitute for work," states Mr. Whitman. , . ''Law' is not a business, it is a "profession," stated Mr. Whit man.) "The main incentive that a lawyer should have is to see that the laws are enforced. When those laws become oppressive to .the progress of society as a whole, the, lawyer has always been.rady to life his ; voice, a- gainstthe errors of the govern ment." " ' '"' ' According to Mr. Whitman, there is, no profession that has, given more to our nation than that of.lawand with the excep tion of the ministry, there is not a nobler one, V ! In closing he stated that dur ing his time he has had several titles, but of them all, there is none finer than "Attorney and Counselor at Law.";.

CONORS GROUP TO BE CHOSEN Applications for Group of Tea : Exceptional Men Will v Close Today. , AMATEUR FIREMEN RESCUE VENABLE Young Conflagration Extinguished Without Great Loss of Life or Property. Much smoke and very little blaze characterized the fire scare in Venable Hall Tuesday night, Someone carelessly dropped a lighted cigarette in a basket of waste paper in one of the wash rooms, the paper caught on fire, and dense clouds of white smoke filled the room. ; ; 1 Dusty fire extinguishers were ruthlessly torn from their places on the walls by the volunteer fire fighters to be employed in case of necessity against the con flagration. The. fire was some what difficult to locate and was a great disappointment to those who wanted to see a big fire. The local fire department was completely snooted. They were not even made aware of the ex istence of the fire. The reason for this seeming slight was that immediate action was required in small amounts.
