Architects Will Receive Bids
Foi New Library Next Week
Will Be Most Imposing Struc
ture on the Campus Loca
tion to Be Behind South.
Bids for the construction work on
the new library will be received by
Atwood and Nash, University archi
tects, next week, and if no hitch de
velops actualconstruction of the new
edifice should commence in the early
spring. Drawings and specifications
have been completed and have been
approved by Dr. L. R. Wilson, libra
rian, and the University building com
mittee. The new library will be the most
imposing building , on the University
campus, and probably the most beau
tiful library structure in the South.
The front of the main building will
be 204 feet long, with the entire front
way, trimmings and six huge portico
columns of white limestone. . The rest
of the building will be of .brick con
struction. A huge dome, not unlike
the dome of the Library of Congress,
will add beauty to the large struc
ture. Although approximately '200
feet long it will not be square, for
the back will be of irregular shape.
'The style of architecture is in close
harmony with the new University
buildings, but the building will be the
largest here.
-
In Rear of South
The library will be built south of
South building, with the back against
the campus road.' It has been staked
out and it covers a great deal of
ground. It will serve to fill the yawn
ing gap between Venable Hall and
the Saunders, Murphey, Manning hall
triangle. The work cannot be com
pleted in less than 12 to 18 months,
even if there is no further delay in
the building plans.
' The legislature of 1927 appropriated
$625,000 for the building and fur
nishing of a new library here to take
the place of the present structure
which has long since been outgrown.
For many years a new library has
been a crying need of the University,
for the old structure was built in 1907
to care for a library of 45,000 vol
umes which since has grown to 180,000
with an annual increase of about 15,
000 books.

Darst Talks In
Vocation , Series
Bishop Thomas C. Darst of Wil
mington, speaking in chapel Monday
morning on "The Ministry as a Vo
cation," declared that in the minis
terial profession a man 'has the op
portunity of expressing the finest side
of his life.
"Fullest happiness and greatest ser
vice come through the ministry,' he
declared. "We all have a desire to
lead large unselfiish lives, and the
ttunistry is the one profession which
offers that with the call to high ad
venture in fine living."
Bishop Darst admitted that the min
ify has its weak members as every
other profession, but that the ideals
remained. He praised the teaching
nd medical professions as worthy of
kemg classed with the ministerial.
Date for Senior
Dance Set for
Night of May 18
As a grand climax to Senior
Week, which is scheduled to be.
staged from May . 14 through
May 19, will come the Senior
Dance, whkh bids fair to be one
of the outstanding dances of the
spring quarter. This dance will
be held on the night of May 18.
It is likely that the Grail will
give a dance on the following
night immediately preceded by a .
twilight dance sponsored by a fra
ternity. Thus a full week-end is
promised to the scores of girls
who are expected down for these
dances.'
The leaders for the Senior
Dance are' as follows : D. E. Hud
gins, Jr., leader; J. C. Davis, first
assistant leader; W. W. Neal, Jr.,
second assistant leader. The Exe
cutive Committee of the class and
the Committee on Senior Week
are making plans to put on a
number of new events in connec
tion with the usual order of af
fairs for Senior Week, and the
Senior Dance is said to be des
tined for the outstanding one of
the festive days.
ENGINEERS HIRE

FOR THEIR DANCE
Grail Dance and Engineers Bail
To Wind up Quarter's Social
Festivities Saturday Night.
The Grail has set the date of its
last dance of the quarter for this
Saturday night. This dance, coupled
with the Engineering school's ballj
insures a full week-end for the Uni
versity's dancers. The :"13" Club has
decided to put its .dance off until
later.
The Grail will use the same plan
they employed at their last dance
that of selling all "stag" tickets at the
rear entrance of the gymn. The gymn
will be decorated for the occasion and
from nine until twelve Saturday night
the Carolina Buccaneers will furnish
music for the dancers.
The Engineers are planning an elab
orate "ball and, according to a mem
ber of the school, "They are going to
have the Carolina Inn ballroom dec
orated as it hasn't been decorated in
years." Several features' are also
planned to add to the occasion. The
dance is to be limited to members of
the engineering school, with the ex-
ception of those students "who are
with a member of the fair sex," de
clared one enthusiastic engineering
student. The would-be-engineer con
tinues that "there isn't a chance for
any member of the student body with
out an attachment," and there are
going to .be several guardians of the
door who are over six feet tall they
grow 'em big in the engineering
school." The students who wish to
secure invitations may obtain one by
seeing some member of the senior
class of the school.

concert, sponsored by the Community!
Club. The proceeds of this concert
are to be used for the development
and study of art in the Chapel Hill,

The program to be used for this
concert is essentially the same one
which has received much praise dur
ing the concert tour and is said to
be one of the .most versatile eve
used by the club, being composed of
a large number of selections never
heard here before. Among these new
numbers are "The American Ode," a
patriotic number of unusual vigor
and beauty; "Bring a Torch," an old
French carol which proved to be the
most popular encored number on the
recent tour; "G Holy Father"; "O.
Filii et Filiae," an old German num
ber with eight parts and an anti
phonal effect; "Land Sighting," a
Grieg composition' which will bemused
by the club in the Richmond contest

the Irish "Gallway Piper", and the
Bohemian "Reaper's Song." These
selections comprise a little over half
the program, which includes ten oth
er numbers besides the solo group.
Charles Troxell will act as the tenor
soloist for the club in the Tuesday

Wrestlers Win
Hectic Decision
Over Virginia
The' University , of North Carolina
mat team climaxed a hectic season in
the Tin Can Saturday night when
they gained a 14 to 9 decision over
the University, of Virginia in a good
evening of wrestling.
Taking the Virginians into tow for
the second consecutive season the Tar
Heels won four of the seven tussles,
taking the 115, 135, 145, and 175
pound affairs. - There was only one
falL during the meet. "Swampy" Twi
frd, Heel 175-pounder, succeeded in
pinning Overstreet of Virginia after
7 minutes and 30 seconds of fast
wrestling. The other Carolina wins
came on time verdicts. D. Moore,
Thompson, and Abbott polled these de
cisions. ,
The teams of neither of - the rival
institutions have enjoyed a very suc
cessful season this year .so both ag
gregations were out. to close the pres
ent year in gala fashion, the Tar
Heels being the lucky ones.
Graves, Virginia 125-pounder, was
the only visitor to show any outstand
ing" form or ability. This husky low
er weight man turned in a nice per
formance to win a decision over Zealey
of Carolina, with a time advantage of
9 minutes. Captain Williams of Vir
ginia and French of the same team
had a tough assignment in eking out
time decisions over R. Moore and
Houghton of the Tar Heels in the
158 and unlimited divisions. The un
limited affair went into extra time
for a decision over the Heel luminary.

work in physics; Dr. William C. Coker
for work in botany; Dr. Frank Ken
neth Cameron for work in chemistry;
Dr. Alvin Sawyer Wheeler for work
in chemistry; Dr. H. V. Wilson for

ELLERBE WINS
WEIRDCONTEST
Victors Were Trailing Middle
burg Quint with Score Stand
ing 15-1 at Half.
Ellerbe, in a game such as one sel
dom sees, defeated Middleburg 17-15
in the Tin Can Saturday night to win
the right to meet Wilmington for the
championship of the eastern division
of the state in high school basketball
elimination series.
In the first half, the-Middleburgers
scored 15 points, and the Ellerbe lads
had exactly one. In the second half,
the one pointers ran up seventeen
more credits, while their opponents
got none, and therein is the queerness
of the contest. Liske, center, made
the one point for his team in the be
ginning half by making good a free
chance at the goal. His work in the
last half made him t high scorer for
the night, giving, him twelve tallies.
Forward Little, the only other scorer
on the team, got six points. '
This is the first year that either
team has advanced so far in the series
and both, as dark horses, have elimin
ated teams from schools much larger,
and which have made rather impres
sive records in basketball in years
gone by. - x -

New-Comer
Dr. Coker, the new-comer, is one of
the 150 men working in the field of
zoology whose work has been so rec
ognized. His selection was made "by
a vote of the men competent in each
science, two thousand in all being
asked to take part." The starred list
may include those who have been do
ing outstanding work as teachers, text
writers, engineers, or men working in
medicine or the applied sciences. The
basis for selection, however, is their
contribution to the field of pure sci
ence as the term is narrowly used. .
The biographical dictionary is now
in its fourth edition. A revision being
made every five years. The first edi
tion was published in 1908 and con

growth in science over a 10 year
period.

Mat Tourney
f Friday Cancelled
Announcement comes from Direc
tor of Athletics Coach Bob Fetzer,
that the Southern Conference mat
tourney scheduled for the University
of North Carolina for the coming Fri
day and Saturday has been cancelled.
This action was taken by the authori
ties because of the all-too little inter
est taken in the annual event by the
Southern Conference " members who
support mat aggregations, and by the
fact that there were too few entries
to warrant an elimination tourna
ment. Worked out by the Conference offi
cials, Virginia Plytechnic Institute
is declared Conference champion, by
virtue of her victories over the lead
ing mat teams over the span of the
Southern region. The Tech victory
over V. M. I. last Saturday night
cinched the title for the Blacksburg
clan. .
Hawaii now sends the United States
about 800,000 tons of. sugar yearly.
Role to
Florida Fight
LAST OF SEASON
Crews Socks Odell Sapp In Des
perate Scrap To Give 'Gators
4-3 Victory.
A lowly substitute played
hero to the Florida 'Gator as
semblage at Gainesville, Flori
da Saturday night to give the
Floridians a 4-3 verdict over the
University Tar Heels, in the last
match of the season for the
Rowe proteges.
By name the Florida hero made
by fate was Norman Crews, and his
hair-line victory over our old friend
Odell Sapp gave the Gainesville seven
their margin of victory over the
Heels. The situation was a perfect
Frank Merrjwell setting Florida had
captured three of the pervious
matches on the card, while Carolina
had fought her way to victory in two.
The 'Gator forfeiture in the heavy
weight section to "Ox" Shuford, due
to Bill Middlekauff's indisposition,
set the count at 3-all. Enter Mr.
Crews on the scene. And to quote
from our Jacksonville paper inform
ant, "Crews entered the ring against
a man who from the first gong evi
denced clearly that he knew more ring
tactics than did the Florida light
heavyweight.
Close Final

"The battle started with Sapp land
ing oftener, but not so cleanly as
Crews. The first frame ended fairly
even, but the second went to Sapp oh
a large nargin, Odell pummelling the
Floridian with everything at hand.
But Crews had almost as large a mar
gin in the final frame and one of the
judges and the referee voted for the
'Gator scrambled-ear artist.
Florida had won her lone inter-col
legiate start and the Tar Heels had
tasted defeat; in her last intercolleg

JOINT SESSION OF
Dl-Pffl POSTPONED
Meetings Booked for Tonight
Are Moved up to Thursday
Evening.
The joint meeting of the Di and
Phi which was scheduled to take place
in the Phi hall at seven o'clock tonight
has been postponed until Thursday
night at the same hour and place.
The postponement is a result of the
request by the editor of the Yackety
Yack, who wishes to make a flash
light picture of the two literary so
cieties in joint session. The picture
could not be made until Thursday
night since the photographer of the
Yackety Yack will not be back on the
, campus until that time. The expense
of this picture will be borne by the
Yackety Yack and will head the foren
sic section. Editor. Allison is anxious
that both societies be well represented
at this meeting, for the larger the
number the better the picture.
After due deliberation by a joint
committee of the Di and Phi it was
decided that the things of greatest
interest to the student body at pres
ent are politics, both local and nation
al. Therefore the following resolu
tions were carefully framed to be dis
cussed in order at the joint meeting
Thursday evening:
1. "Resolved: That student politics
with their customary frame-ups and
other tactics serve the best interests
of this, campus in annual elections."
2. "Resolved: That a man should
always vote for the candidate whom
he thinks most competent for the of
fice rather than vote a straight party
ticket in every election because, he
belongs to a certain party."
