A feeling of gratitude commingled with pride and pleasure fills the Uni versity of North Carolina "on receiv ing the Kenan Memorial Stadium, given by William Rand Kenan., Jr., to perpetuate the memory of his father and mother. The gift' qf the stadium is sym bolic of the faith that the leaders of today place in youth. No better ex ample of loyalty to the University has been shown in recent years. - Aside from filling a pressing need that has been keenly felt every time an ath letic contest of major importance is held here, the stadium can be used for dramatic productions and other ac tivities that will be developed further by the provision of proper facilities. The record of the service rendered the University by the Kenan family is marked by the quality of meeting a direct need in every case. There is a Kenan tradition here at Carolina; a tradition that has entwined itself in the growth and progress of the Uni versity! This splendid gift to be ded icated today heightens the record of the Kenan family in rendering unto the University. Myopic mutterings of individuals whose minds are dwarfed by narrowed vision, whose senses of proportion are lost in vain pursuit would work to detract from the magnitude of the service rendered by William Rand Kenan, Jr., in donating the stadium. The feeling of appreciation that reigns among the faculty, students, alumni and friends of the University typifies the spirit in which we receive the stadium. Mr. Kenan has rendered a distin guished service in giving the Kenan Memorial Stadium to. the University. ADOLISH DEBATES CEIXAR J I Ww :: i By Andy Anderson Last night the Carolina Theatre gave a midnight show featuring "Pa jamas" and today "Silk Stockings" is showing. The boys would greatly appreciate another midnight show continuing, the sequence. Thursday, November 24, 1927 PARAGRAPHICS THE CAVALIERS ARE NEXT, TAR HEELS! - The twenty-minute dedication cere mony won't be complete if Carolina doesn't use two hours during the game to finish Virginia. Seeing as how the Glorious Girls at N. C. C, W. are pulling all their tresses for a Carolina victory, they might come down and join the cheer ing section. Believers in Carolina invested heav ily, in Chapel Hill real estate Tues day, but not to such an extent that "investments" will not he made today. ' The Carolina line is the seven won ders of the world, Duke alumni are reported to have said. Well, add four more wonders and you have the Tar Heel team." Home-Coming Day i3 usually a full day for alumni, a contemporary avers Particularly so, At the bootlegger hasn't gone back on the grads. It won't be long Now! Uncle Hank Ford has -put in another good work for the members of the Hebrew race, "Talk Plans to Provide Cheaper School Books," headlines a daily. Trouble is that most of it ha3 been talk. Latest news from the city in the Land of the Sky: No movement was discovered today among Asheville alumni to kick Coach' Soandso out at Castoria college. One contemporary coyly asks, "Do Women Read Advertisements?" Men do when the ad has a picture of a good-looking girl in it. - -WELCOME The Tab Heel extends a hearty wel come to the alumni and friends of the University returning today for the game. To the jCavaliers and Virgin ians .the same warm welcome is ex tended. Plans have been laid to accommo date the largest crowd ever to attend the Carolina-Virginia annual clash. The new Kenan Memorial stadium, .with a capacity of 25,000, provides ample accommodations for the spec tators to see the game in comfort and with clear view. ' The University has grown since the graduation of the returning alumni : 'grown in physical plant, strength of faculty and prestige. The Kenan sta dium is but one of the concrete ex amples of the progress being made by the University of North Carolina. It points the way to what Carolina may do with aid and support of its alum ni and friends. ' Though progress in all branches of the University has been rapid and phenomenal, the same old Carolina spirit exists here on the campus. Re turning alumni will find a warm wel come among the student body await ing them. It is to be hoped that the three members of the English debating team that appeared here Tuesday evening will not form a definite opinion of the University of North Carolina on the basis of the lack of ability in debate shown by Carolina's represent atives. Seven weeks ago the Tar Heel, in a paroxysm of optimism and bounti ful hope, editorialized at length on the decadence of the immortal art of oratory; proclaimed the eminence and strength of oratorical achievements; and expressed hope that students would come to appreciate the value of learning to speak with clearness, precision and intelligence before a public audience. Our hopes are blighted; dark despair supersedes warm expectancy. The debate council of the Un;ver sity schedules a debate with the Eng lish team. Members of this trio of "pronounced political views concern ing the situation in their country, have been very prominent in their schools, and somewhat so in the affairs of their parties." One is a graduate with a masters degree, preparing to enter the Scottish bar. The others hold bachelor degrees. To debate these three, Carolina presents a jun ior, sophomore and a freshman! Such barbaric slaughter on the forensic mat! Such wilting fire of informa tion, keenness of reprisals and con clusive arguments aimed at our no vices ! It is, an insult to the three English men invited here to debate the' Uni versity of North Carolina debating team and then meet a junior, sopho more and freshman. Would the Uni versity entertainment committee in vite Einstein here to debate his theory of relativity with a member of th freshman mathematics class? Banish international debates if in terest in debating is so supinely in different as to work towards an en core of the performances witnessed during the last three years. We hear that a golf club has been organized. Well, all they need now is to find a place to playl Stadium Dedication Edition ets Record This, the stadium dedication edition of the Tar Heel, is the students' expression of appre-" ciation for what William Rand Kenan, Jr., has done for the stu-. dent body, alumni and friends of the University of North Car olina in donating the Kenan Memorial stadium. ' With a local circulation of 5,000 this 16-page issue of the Tar Heel sets a record of achievement in North Carolina collegiate journalism. The following men helped to make this issue possible by pre-" paring special articles : 4 Andy Anderson, Luther Byrd, George Ehrhart, Glenn Holder, Joe Mitchell, Brown Shepperd, Mutt Evans, Walter Spearman and J. J. Parker. Joe Bobbitt acted as managing editor for this issue. . Duke should be thankful that we licked 'em last Saturday. The win saved, quite a few from getting cold in certain parts of their anatomy. The papers tell us that Jankoski of the Duke team had ripped open the lines of every team until Carolina played them. In that game, he didn't even get a chance to rip a pair of breeches. KENAN GIFT MARVEL OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE AND NATURAL SETTING Which reminds us that Chuck Col lins has been chuckling for almost a week. , Virginia need not watch her step today. There are no holes in the Blue and White line. Dances start Friday afternoon. Headaches start Saturday morning. Dean Walker left last week to in spect a few girls' colleges in the state. He has nothing on the students; they leave " every week to inspect college girls. And Dean Royster gave -a reading at the Bull's Head bookshop of Noyes' verse. " Somebody told us that some of the poems were too noisy. Paul Green has a new play called Children of Disobedience. "Now. this is for state release: "It is understood that Paul Green has no reference to the' Carolina student body in naming his new play." In a several-years-old Carolina Magazine we noticed an advertisement that read: "JUST AS SURE as the Graham Memorial will rise in its splendor, and offer to Carolina its priceless service do we assure you of that same careful, clean and prompt service." The ad was from the laun dry. Now we leave it up to you as to just what the prognosticator meant. And in passing, we might mention that the educational films shown every now and then in Venable Hall are in no way endangering the attendance of either the Pick or the Carolina. The seniors have all -had their pitchers took. That settles the Christ mast present problem anyway. We notice that the engineers have decided to have their dance after the Christmas holidays. It is rumored that quite a few from that school plan to spend the holidays in Canada. The British came over to debate with us on Pacifism Tuesday night. Probably the debate would have car ried a little weight had it been held around election time. Miss Chicago may be Miss America but Miss Fisher leads the world in bodies. Charles W. Tillett, who spoke to the law class last Thursday, urged them to acquire a 'capital stock' of infor mation. -'To a lot of us, information is' about the easiest kind of capital stock to acquire." , - Continued from page one squad, and the other side is similarly equipped for the visiting players. Kenah Memorial Stadium is of a semi-bowl construction, with immense curving stands on either side of the playing field. At the center and top of each stand rises a majestic flag pole. On days when Carolina is sched uled to meet a rival football team at Chapel Hill, (the Tar Heel banner and the flag of the enemy will fly over the scene. Boxes have been constructed at the base of each flag pole. The eastern box is reserved -for the governor and members of his party. The western box is equipped with permanent seats and tables for the use of newspaper reporters. Each of these sections is covered by a comely awning which adds much color to the stadium and which defies the weather. Solid Foundation -"The playing field is of turtle-back design, so that it may be easily drain ed, and is underlaid with a tile at ten yard intervals. The soft covering of grass appears intensely smooth, and is pronounced by players as "much faster" than the playing field in the old stadium. Although the slopes of a ravine form the supports for the 41 tiers of seats, it was necessary to remove 55,000 cubic yards of dirt in leveling the playing field. The mammoth struc ture contains 4,000 cubic yards of concrete, the greater portion of which was poured over a base of solid rock and earth. r-' ;" The concrete tiers have been sur mounted with wooden seats a foot in width. The seats are raised several inches from the concrete by iron brackets, thus eliminating most of the "get your feet out of my face" trou ble. Material for the ' seats is known as Douglas Fir, and was shipped across the continent from the state of Washington. Authorities explain that Douglas Fir is the hardest of woods, which in turn explains why many peo ple will be accompanied by pillows on Thanksgiving Day. Woodland Setting . The stadium is situated in a nat ural amphitheatre, directly south of the present campus, in the heart of hills and trees.- A complete surround ing of pines and oaks supply a gor geous woodland setting. Each stand is 500 feet in length and towers grad ually above the playing field to a level with the ground at the top of the ravine. Each stand has 12 sections and 41 tiers. " Back of each' concrete stand there are four lavatory buildings, two for men and two for women. These are partly below the ground level and will be properly ambushed by shrub bery, r Last January, after A. C. Nash and T. C. Atwood, University architects, had drawn the plans, Nello' Teer, Dur ham contractor, began the excavation work with a bang. For several weeks, residents of Chapel Hill were kept in a constant tate of apprehension by numerous unforetold blasts while Mr. Teer's workmen were diversifying ob stinate boulders. T. C. Thompson and Brothers, Charlotte contractors, hand led all construction work. Charles T. Woollen, graduate manager of ath Itics, supervised the entire project and was never off his job until the last of the 24,000 seats had been poured on the first of August. Mr. Kenan with his splendid gift has eliminated ''a long felt need at Carolina. The product of his gift is considered among the greatest assets, both architectural and otherwise, within the University and in the South. , High Point College ousts a football player for playing rough with fresh men. Perhaps he was not rough enough with opposing teams. Which reminds us again that Duke isn't king anyjnore. Their hopes are barren. They've taken, the count. And one of the football men said the Duke team played fairly with each other. In the backfield, we hear one Duke man said, "Hell, I carried the ball last time, it's your time now." "University Co-Eds Offer Sharp Contrast to Those of Years Ago," headlines this paper. Well, from the pictures we've seen there is not such a great difference. , Organization number 999 is here. In the near future perhaps we will see men get a letter for collecting stamps. And we might add that if anyone is interested in collecting tobacco tags, we have a few local addresses on tap that might help. We read that the Playmakers are on their, way home and from the gen erous write-ups they have received, they are zicst I;rlnr.g home the bakin'.
