PLANS BIG DOINGS
IN CAMPUS DRIVE
Proceeding with unprecedented
smoothness and dispatch, the annual
nominations for candidates for cam
pus ofSces were completed Tuesday
morning in Memorial Hall in the rec
ord time of slightly less than half
an hear. The thirty-one nominations
were made with a minimum of the
flourishes and tactical manoeuvers
that are an important part of all pol
itical settoe3 on. the campus.
President Charlie Jonas function-!
ed as chairman and steered things a
Iong sMQfulIy. At only one point
was the smooth course of the pro
ceedings interrupted. That pointjcame ,
when objection was raised to the j
fact that the office of Representative j
at large on the Athletic Association
did not appear in tthe list of those
for which nominations were to be
made. Chairman Jonas immediately
cleared that matter up, however, when
he explained that the Athletic Coun
cil plan inaugurated last spring
eliminated all representatives on the
Athletic Association, and that the man
elected to that position through mis
take last spring had found himself
without a job.
Getting Hotter
The aftermath of the nominations
set in immediately after the mass
meeting called to make them was ad
journed, and resulted in the political
bosses minutely scrutinizing the of
ficial list of nominees, which appears
elsewhere, on this page, in an effort
to gather up all the loose ends and
myriad ramifications of their frame
ups eo as to be certain no possibili
ties of strengthening them were
overlooked. Yesterday and today
politics warmed up considerably af
ter the late start this year, and it is
expected that the usual frenzied cam
paigning will be in full blast this
morning.
To date only two major frame-ups
have made their appearance, and pos
sibly only one of them could properly
be said to be of major proportion s.
Thus far there is every indication" of
a one party election and walk-away,
according to the experienced politi
cal dopesters. However, the politi
cal surface may undergo a complete
change cf complexion during the five
days that will intervene before elec
tion day, and it may yet metamor
phise into one of the most tumultous
elections on record, according to these
wiseacres.
New Plan
In connection with the issuance of
the official list of nominees this morn
ing, President Jonas called attention
to the fact that a departure from the
usual procedure will be made this
year when the officers elected are in
ducted into active charge of the duties
of their positions' immediately after
the elections are over. They will be
inaugurated with appropriate cere
monies at a special mass meeting of
the student body, and the retiring of
ficial3 will work with them during
the remainder of the year. This pro
cedure will give the new officials a
much tetter insight into the duties
and capabilities - of their offices than
has been possible in past years, in
the opinion of the members of the
Student Executive Committee, wholly opposed by R. W. Noe and J. H.
are responsible for the change.
Tar Heels Licked
By Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's diamond aggrega
tion handed Carolina a 5-3 setback
yesterday in a fast and thrilling game
on Emerson field.
Perm confined its scoring to two
innings. They countered first in the
" second inning, three men crossing the
plate when Bob Jessup let a ball get
through him, and twice again in the
eighth to cinch the game.
.Mackie, Burt, and Satterfield grab-
bed hitting honors for the Heels with
two hits each. Both of Mackie's hits
were doubles. Deutsch was the only
one of the visitors able to garner more
than one hit off Westmoreland's de
livery. The Heels meet Penn again today
on Emerson field at four o'clock.
Score by innings:
Pennsylvania 030 000 0025
Carolina 000 000 1023
Gertrude Ederle recently cast aside
all previous engagements and accom
panied three Penn State boys to a
big college dance. The dance was
probsJbly wet.
Graham Memorial Hall, pictured
above, was started in 1919 when the
students of the University of North
Carolina undertook to build a fitting
memorial to Edward Kidder Graham,
one of the presidents of this school,
who died the preceding year during
the great epidemic of influenza. When
the project was first begun it was
thought that ?100,000 would complete

of engineering, together with H. E.
Miller, chief engineer of the state
board of health, attended a conference
in Asheville last week-end with repre
sentatives vof the Sylva Paper Board

PHI ASSEMBLY
H0LDSJ1EETING
Resolution to Levy Fee for Com
pletion of Graham Memorial
Defeated by One Vote.
The Phi Assembly held its second
meeting of the quarter last Tuesday
night in New East building.' The dis
cussion was of unusualinterest and
the meeting lasted the full time, there
being no motion for adjournment until
9:00 o'clock.
A3 per the constitution, J. B. Lewis,
the Speaker for the spring quarter,
delivered a brief inaugural address
at the opening of the meeting, saying
that the Phi and Di are still the most
important organizations on the cam
pus, but are neglected due to the lack
of recognition of such importance by
the students here now.
The discussion proper concerned the
completion of Graham Memorial build
ing by levying a student fee to last
for the next ten years more or less.
The resolutiop was introduced by Jud
son Ashby who was very much in
favor of abolishing this source of em
barrassment by completing the build
ing that the campus needs so greatly
at present. The measure was violent-
Harrell who doubted the right of the
present student body to tax the incom
ing students for a permanent improve
ment. Fred Parker and John Wilker
son then sponsored the resolution on
the grourfds that it was a necessity;
and the sum of five dollars being im
material there would be no kick on
the financial standpoint. xThe resolu
tion was defeated by one vote.
University Band
Gives Program In
Southern Pines
The University Band presented its
1928 concert program to the people
of Southern Pines Sunday afternoon.
This program was given outdoors in
one of Southern Pine's beautiful parks
and it was marked by being the first
open air concert that the Band has
played this year. The Chamber of
Commerce at Southern Pines engaged
the services of the Band, and present
ed it to the townfolk of the commun
ity, who, in turn, expressed much in
terest in the program. Comment at
the close of the concert indicated that
Mr. McCorkle's musicians had well

listeners.

ent costx of materials and labor it i
will take around $110,000 over and
above the amount already spent to
complete and furnish this one unit.
It is estimated that $92,000 of this
amount would be spent to complete
the first floor, the mezzanine, second

while the-remaining $18,000 will be
held as a reserve to furnish and equip
ACTION ON GRAHAM MEMORIAL

A Fee To Support
Student Government
Is Also Proposed
Action on the proposal to complete
the unfinished Graham Memorial
building, students activities building,
by levying a fee on the student body
has been postponed until a later date,
it was announced yesterday by the
central administration council. In the
meantime, President Charlie Jonas
has appointed a student committee to
consider ways and means of complet
ing the building.
The central administration council
of the student bovernment met in the
Y. M. C. A. building Tuesday after
noon and adopted two proposals re
lating to student fees. The first of
these was a proposition to secure fi
nancial support for the expenses of
operating the student government and
the other was relating to the comple
tion of Graham Memorial building.
President of the student body Charlie
Jonas, Ed Hudgins, Dillard Gardner
and Jud Ashby were present at the
Tuesday meeting.

Proposed Use and
History of Building
Are Related Here
(By Jimmy Parker)
A glowing account of the Graham
Memorial which was soon to be erect
ed, and the many goods that would
be accomplished by it was carried on
the front page of the first Tar Heel
of the school year of 1923, announcing
that the early completion of the build
ing was assured, that most of the
money was secured, and the remain
der was in sight.
The progress of the movement up
to that time was detailed, how the
drive was commenced in 1919, shortly
after Dr. Graham's death, by friends
and admirers of the deceased presi
dent, and the funds were being rap
idly secured until the financial depres
sion of the following year caused a
slowing down. At the time of that
article, in 1923, about one hundred
and eighty-five thousand dollars had
been subscribed. The original plans
had called for an expenditure of
around one hundred thousand, but
later changes had raised the amount
to four hundred thousand dollars.
Numerous students and alumni had

Regional Conference
Closes First Day
With Dinner At Inn
Dr. Archibald Henderson Presides;
Manv Notables Present.
After a full day of numerous dis
cussions, the delegates to the Southern
Division of the Regional Conferences
on the Drama closed the first day of
the convention with a dinner at the
Carolina Inn last night. Dr. Archi
bald Henderson, member of the fac
ulty of the University of North Caro
lina, presided.
The dinner last night marked the
largest" group of great dramatic lead
ers that has ever assembled in the
South. Cards were placed for the
country's most talented playwrights,
theatrical managers, dramatic critics,
actors, producers, and scholars of
drama. In fact, every phase' of the
drama was represented by an author
ity at the meeting.
The University sent,- out a great
number of special invitations to the
leading dramatic people in the coun
try. The group which gathered at the
Inn last night showed that only a
few invitations had been rejected.
Some forty or fifty people who- found
that they must decline the invitation
sent letters of greetings to the con
ference, and these messages were
read between the courses.
"Immediately after the dinner wa3
completed, Dr. Henderson called upon
a number of men to say a few words
to the delegates. Among those who
spoke short greetings were: George
Pierce Baker, director of the Dramatic
department of Yale University, but

pledges, in fact over $33,000.00 has
been spent in the past nine years in
the effort to bring the books up-to-date.
-
At present there is a movement
on foot on the campus to raise the
necessary amount of money to com
plete the building by levying a spe
cial fee on every student. It is
hoped by the originators thai this
plan will mee with approval.

SENIORS HOLD
HECTIC MEETING
Many Important Issues Discuss
ed By Outgoing Class; Final
Plans for Dance.
Meeting in a lengthy three-hour
session in Swain Hall Tuesday night,
the senior elass adopted a class day
program, completing full plans for
Senior Week, made final arrangements
for the senior dance, reached a deci
sion upon the class memorial and. en
gaged ha a prolonged discussion of
the matter of senior regalia which
was finally referred to a committee
of eleven members of the class.
Final plans for the senior dance,
which has been set for Saturday eve
ning, April 13, occupied a consider
able proportion of the time. All mem
bers of the class who are bringing
girls to the dance and all stags were
requested by President Ed Hudgin3,
who officiated as chairman of the
meeting, to assemble at nine o'clock
on the evening of the dance.
The recommendation of the commit
tee appointed to submit a plan for
senior regalia was presented by
Chairman Henry Brandis. The com
mittee's recommendation that the class
members array themselves in spats,
monacle, cane and derby hats didn't
exactly correspond to sense of sar
torial perfection of most of the sen
iors. The committee's recommenda
tion was summarily rejected, and a
session of heated discussion ensued.
Blazers, flannel trousers, and cap3 and
gowns were all suggested, and the up
shot of the matter was that it was
left up to eleven men to be appointed"
by the president.
A proposal submitted by Charlie
Jonas, in which the suggestion was
made that every student at the Uni
versity pay $5 a year toward a fund
with which to complete the'' long-in-completed
Graham Memorial building,
ws the chief high light of the meeting.
After long consideration, the plan was
rejected by a small majority.
The senior memorial adopted com
prises plans for a long walkway, ap
propriately marked and flanked by
Japanese cherry trees on each side,
to extend along the west end of the
arboretum, in a line with Cameron
avenue and -pareliel to the President's
walk. This walkway is to be com
pleted and fittingly dedicated at this
year's Commencement exercises. It
will be used for the last procession of
the class ss a hndv
President Hudgins urged that the
members of the class consider the
men to be elected for the permanent
class officers, who will be elect
ed at the final banquet, which is to
mark the last assembly of the class,
as a unit.
