WILL CONVENE ON MAY 11
Object of Open House is to Ac
quaint People Throughout the
State' With the Work Being
Done by the Engineering
School f
The School of Engineering of the
University is busy with preparations
for an open house which is to be held
on Friday, May 11, from 5 o'clock in
the afternoon until 11 at night. The
chief purpose is to' display through a
number of interesting exhibits, the
work being' done in-the different de
partments of the school.
In the laboratories a number of ex
periments will be run to demonstrate
the various types of work done by the
students in the course of their work.
The. Departments of Mathematics
and Physics, which are allied with the
School of Engineering, will also have
exhibits. One of the most interesting
of the exhibits will be by the English
Department of the School of Engi
neering which will put on display sam
ples - of the work done by their stu
dents, such as laboratory and inspec
tion trip reports, technical papers, and
business writing' of the type required
of the engineer. ,v- .
The first open' house was held last
year. It drew visitors from all parts
of the state and proved such a sue
cess that it was decided to hold an
other this spring. It is being put on
by the students, with the sponsorship
of the faculty. Visitors are promised
a view of much new equipment that
has been installed in the laboratories
since last spring.
The object of the open house, says
the announcement, "is to acquaint the
people Qf the state with the Engi
neering School- at the University.
Very few people know that there is
, an exceedingly well-equipped and
highly rated engineering school at the
University, offering courses in civil,
electrical, mechanical, sanitary, hy-
draullc, and chemical engineering."
The open house will sart imme
diately after the Carolina-Virginia
baseball game here on Friday, May
11. Special exhibits and contests
have been arranged for the ladies. .
Plans to Restore
Battle Park Beauty
- - i
Scheme Is Under Way to Remove
Sewage Disposal from the
Gimghoul Section.
Plans are being made to move the
University's sewage ' disposal plant
from the! Gimghoul section, and tojn
stitut a modern sewer system for
the present tank.' It is hoped that
these efforts wilL restore the beauty
of former days to Battle Park.
The present plan is to abandon both
the disposal plant jand. the tank and to
run ai adequate pipe line down to the
municipal plant to the east in the
creei "valley. It is estimated that the
cost of the line - will approximate
$10,000. The ' University authorities
have agreed to recommend to the
trustees an appropriation of $2,000,
which would represent the advantage
which the University would gain from
the abandonment of the plant. The
village estimates that it would " be
justified inexpending $6,000, while it
has been proposed that the Gimghouls
offer the .remaining amount.
The tank was built formerly to
serve about half a dozen houses,'
while at present there are seventeen
houses in this colony. The present
underground drainage system fails, to
meet the demands of the situation.
The ' Gimghouls made a gift of a
large tract, forming part of Battle-'-'
Park, to remain permanently as a
wild woodland, and' they are averse
to having this marred. : .
If the scheme matures the ; loveli
ness of Battle Park, which occupies
an important place in the history and
traditions of the University, will be
restored again. 1 v V J
President Chase, who is in Chicago
this week on business, will leave Mon
day for Charleston, S. C, where he
will deliver the commencement ad
dress at the College-of Charleston on
the' following day, May 8. .

After having taken over the busi
ness end of the Tar Heel at the be
ginning of this scholastic year, "Bill
Neal has manouvered its finances ex
ceedingly well. He does not relinquish
his hold on this paper until the end
of this year when he expects to gra
duate. , The Tar Heel under the gui
dance of Mr. Neal has suffered much
prosperity and when he leaves the
entire staff will probably ' sing avid
praises. He has been an excellent
business manager says Jud Ashby.

Brockmann Spoke
' In Chapel Monday
On Topic 'Surgery'
"Go slowly in deciding to become
a surgeon" was the keynote in Mr.
H. L. Br ockmann's talk on "The Op
portunities in Surgery" which was,
made in chapel Monday. Mr. Brock
mann is a surgeon in the High Point
Hospital and was making the - six
teenth of a group of vocational lec
tures which are being given at the
University. "There are many prob
lems facing a young surgeon today','1?'
Mr. Brockmann stated, "and one of
them is the oversupply of specialists.
Locations are difficult to find. The
fact that . a town has good hospital
facilities does not mean that it would
be a good town for a young surgeon.
Private hospitals usually serve the
public well but they work a hardship
on a young surgean." Mr. Brock
mann says that there is a growing
demand for medical doctors, . and he
advises medical students to wait un
til v their hospital interneship before
considering surgery as a profession.
"A doctor must give his life up to
his . work," said Mr. Brockmann. His
family has to also adjust itself to his
mode of living. For this reason a
doctor is1 very happy when he can get
an afternoon or a day off with his
family, and he usually takes moie
interest in his home life than the
average man.

DIALECTIC MEN
DEDICATE HALL
Solicitor" W. B. Umstead, of
Durham is Speaker of
the Occasion
. The Dialectic Senate, one of the two
literary societies at the University,
.1 T i 1 i 1 if .1 ' 1 1
dedicated its new hall in the recently
remodeled New West building here
Tuesday night with Solicitor W. B.
Umstead, of, Durham as the chief
speaker. The ceremony was presided
over by L. A. Crowell of Lincolnton,
atcing president. Taylor Bledsoe of
Asheville introduced Mr. Umstead,
who is a University alumnus and who
was prominent in literary society work
and other undergraduate activities
during his undergraduate days. .
"I would like to hold up before you
three men who have had such a phil
osophy that they believed that to fail
to serve was to waste life," the speak
er said. "These men are the late Ed
ward Kidder Graham, who was pres
ident of the University; Dr. Harry
W. Chase, who is now president; and
Prof. Frank Porter Graham, a mem
ber; of the f acultyT I wish - to com
mend these xmen to you as worthy ex
amples to be followed.
"President Graham had one of the
finest analytical minds I have ever
known, he was an idealist who could
make his ideals materialize, and a man
loved by all those who came in con
tact with him. Dr.. Chase came into
the presidency of this University at
a lime that would have been trying
to any man. A man with less courage
than his would not have tackled the
job, and a man with less ability would
have failed. Professor Graham is per
haps known by more University men
today thanxany man in the state. By
Tiis personality and character he has
entwined himself into the hearts of
thousands' who have been students
here.
"There is something that these men
have in common. That something is
the fact that they have lived to serve
others. Students have left here to
forget everything they learned in the
classroom but to remember a contact
with one of these men." '
Mr. Umstead also pointed out the
part thafa literary society may have
in making a man a well rounded col
lege product. "Whether talking to
one man or to a multitude, the abil
ity to think aloud means as much to
day as it ever did," he said. "The
time will never come when men will
not be moved by a speaker who be
lieves in .a principle and who- backs
that belief with zeal, intellect, and the
ability to speak."
