Chase, address ing the students in chapel yesterrlay called attention to the fact, that two new buildings. would soon be erected on the campus, and appealed to the students to help preserve the beauty of the campus by confining their walk ing, playing and kindred activities to places appointed for such uses.

Only the first unit is being constructed at present, and the rear of the structure will be left in an un completed stated pending later addi tions. The edifice ,will be of lime stone instead of brick yke.all others on the campus now, and when finish ed will be the largest building here. The total cost of the library, when completed will represent the greatest sum of money spent yet by the state for a lone building, related the presi dent. . The other building will probably be used to house the economics and commerce departments. Construction on this will be commenced during, the springy - After describing some of the efforts of the University, directed by Dr. W. C. Coker, to restore the charm and beauty of the campus, Dr. Chase ap pealed to the students to cooperate, chiefly by not walking on. the grass, and being careful not to break the shrubbery set out around the several dormitories. . .. He recalled that a few years ago, before the era of expansion and build ing in which the University has been engaged for the past several years, that there was a distinct feeling of i pride on the part of students and alumni in the unique attraction of the grounds.

The athletic part of the program consists of the state high school track meet and the state .tennis tourna ment.

While the athletes are fighting for their schools on the fields, the de baters will -be having a series of word battles in the various auditori ums and class rooms.

PITCHING STAFF WEAK Only Westmoreland and Ellison Remain for Mound Duty from Last Year; Ashmore Expects Strong Nine. Tar Heel baseball followers will be served a heavy menu next week, for no less than five games are scheduled on Emerson field. Coach Ashmore's varsity nine will swing into action Monday and Tuesday against Mary land, while Pennsylvania and Wash ington and Lee will follow. These games will be the first in the Tri State league, and will be the first of the regularly scheduled games for the Heelmen. Following the Maryland Series, Pennsylvania will invade Chapel Hill for a two-game series on Emerson field Wednesday and Thursday; Wash ington and Lee will be met Saturday. All these games will be played in Chapel Hill. While the Carolina nine showed ex cellent hitting and fielding strength against Elon last Saturday, the lack of hurlers is likely, to cause trouble in a five game series extending over a period of six days. Captain Joe Westmoreland and Red Ellison are the only varsity moundmen in togs this year, and Coach Ashmore will be forced to rely on inexperienced men for duty in at least one of the four games. Maryland and Washington and Lee are members of the Tri-State league, which also includes North Carolina-. State, Virginia, V. P. I., V. M. I., and the Heels. These teams are all mem bers' of the Southern Conference, and will battle for the championship of the upper states In the conference. .

Coxe and Young are two mainstays in the outer garden, while Ed Foard has been fill ing the third post in practice. Maus will probably work behind the bat; the youngster has an excellent throw ing arm and showed up well in the Elon contest. Besides the two varsity pitchers, Ball, Fulcher, Bost and oth ers have been twirling in an impress ive manner and may see service next week. .
