Within the past few days 25
or 30 cases of mild diarrhea
have been reported at the In
firmary. On Monday a rumor
circulated about the campus that
it was ptomaine poisoning, and
that chicken salad served at
Swain Hall was responsible. Dr.
E. A.. Abernethy, v University
physician, questioned those con
fined in the Infirmary, however,
and found ,that only a part of
them were Swain Hall boarders.
He also denied the rumor that it
was ptomaine posioning.
On Tuesday 'and Wednesday
an increasing amount of the
sickness was reported, . and by
Wednesday night it was wide
spread on the campus and
throughout Chapel Hill. Most
of the cases were mild enough
that medical attention was. not
sought. s
Dr. S. A. Nathan, city health
officer, and Dr. Abernethy have
checked up on the local water
supply in trying to locate the
cause of the diarrhea. A care
ful check failed to show any con
tamination. They have also de
cided that it was no particular

TWENTY-THREB.
TENNIS COURTS
NOW AVAILABLE
Athletic, Association and Y. M.
.C. A. Cooperate to Put Courts
,in Condition Provide Others
.if Needed.
Journalism Professor Returns
Professor Oscar J. Coffin,
head of the school of journalism,
returned Friday after a week's
golfing and fishing at Roanoke
Rapids. . '
; Twenty-three tennis courts
have been opened up for free
use. of all Summer School peo
ple through a plan of coopera
tion between the Athletic Asso
ciation and the Y. M. C. A. New
nets have been purchased and
put 'up, and the courts are be
ing lined daily and kept in their
usual good condition by the
same working personnel that
was in charge during the long
session.
The courts were not "robbed"
of their nets at the . beginning
of the summer as some thought,
but rather ; in compliance with
the budget and ruling of the
Athletic Board, which Board op
erates only for the nine months
of the long session, the , nets
were taken down and stored for
the next year's use. The Ath
letic Association has never had
provision in its budget for ath
letic operations during the sum
mer months, and it was neces
sary therefore that some ar
rangements be made to provide
tennis for the summer school.
The Y. M. C. A., being charged
with all social and 'recreational
program during the summer
school, is. providing the neces:
sary money for purchase of nets
and the care of courts," while the
Athletic Association has assum
ed the problem Of management
and supervision.
If twenty-three courts are not
enough to supply the. demand,
then other courts will be opened
up . till the need is completely
met. The entire summer school
of faculty and students are in
vited to make free and frequent
use of the tennis courts.

PLAYERS GIVE
TWO SECTIONS
'She Stoops to Conquer" Acted
Tuesday and "The' Black
Pearl" Last Night
(By Reviewer) .
"She Stoops to Conquer," the
old English -comedy by Oliver
Goldsmith and the "Black Pearl"
a mystery play, were presented
by the Coffer-Miller Players
Tuesday and Wednesday eve
nings to appreciative audiences.
Jess Coffer, playing the part
of, Tony Lumpkin in "She
Stoops to Conquer," furnished
a constant source of laughter.
As the country bumpkin and son
of Mrs. Hardcastle, the doting
mother who had killed the char
acter of her son with kindness,
he was heartily applauded, -Coffer
is an accomplished actor and
was well cast for his role. , Mrs.
Hardcastle, played by Martha
Miller, though producing nerve
wrecking effects, by her strained
artificiality, fitted the type of
character she was portraying.
Her busband, squire Hardcastle,
was not as impressive as the
vigorous old ,man, due to .the
monotony of his tones.
"Visiting the family to court
Miss Hardcastle (Betty Lou
Kelly) was Young Marlowe, shy
of ladies and familiar with bar
maids. Arthur , Curran repre
senting the young man skillfully
acted the part and put his friend
George Hastings (Charles
Bo(jth")4ir the shade of medioc
rity. Other, characters, Con
stance Neville, as, Stingo, and
the Squire were mediocre and
unimpressively artificial.
The interest in "The . Black
Pearl" was chiefly the mystery
plot, occasionally forgotten in
the enjoyment of the humorous
and whimsical Jess Coffer. The
robbery was a false alarm and
the jewels during the fire had
become heated and had welded
together. The play was called
by the author, "The Comedy of
Intrigue." , Consistent acting
made it interesting throughout.
