The Plan ning board's chairman, Collier Cobb, well-known contractor, insurance ex ecutive and head of the State's Plan ning committee, is one of the main inspirations behind the new project, Chapel Hill's men of vision foresee the small village as rising above the run-of-the-mill towns in physical ap pearance With itg of about 8,000, consisting mainly of professors, scholars, merchants, famous writers and students from all over the state and nation, Chapel Hill feels it de serves a unique and tasteful appear ance to fit its distinguished character. As things now stand, any renovat ing of store-fronts or new building along Chapel Hill's main thorough fare, of Franklin street requires the approval of the Town Planning board, according to a city ordnance passed by the Board of Aldermen. "In reality the plan we envision is a cooperative affair," explains Collier Cobb. "We expect a certain amount of opposition at the start but as soon as some of the property owners show what glorious things really can be done at modest expense the others will fall in line. Our board already has the guarantee of cooperation of a goodly proportion of the local merchants." Architects, engineers and artists are now hard at work finishing the colored sketches of Chapel Hill as the town should look when the plan is fully com pleted.

The first day that the University opened after the Civil War it has been said that Judge Winston and his bro ther raced up Strowd Hill to see which of them could be the first to register, and the Judge won.

Everyone is invited to attend. First on the program is "Big Meetin' Time," by Clare Johnson Marley of Cary, N. C. Subtitled "a ritual-play of the Falconites," it brings to the stage all the spirit and unbelievable religious practices of an old time camp meeting. The time is Augusts 1864 and the place Falcon, a junction near Fayette- ville. There are over twenty-five in the cast, contributing intermittently with singing, chanting, keening and "the Glory Train."

Oth ers in the cast are Myra Sklarey as the old maid, Miss Lulu, Barbara Rich as the ingenue, and Vassie Balkcum as the romantic heart wrencher. Carrington Cross is directing and the stage setting is designed by Joan Martin. David Hanig, of Trenton, New Jer sey, and holder of the Kay Kyser Schol arship last year, offers a drama of a modern day problem with "Unshielded Lamn."

The stage setting is designed by Peggy Bargonier, Shir ley Pic is directing the play. Debates Tomorrow Concern Election Opening its season with the first po litical debate that it has held in several years, the Debate council will take the floor in the main lounge of Graham Me morial at 8 tonight to discuss the prop osition "Resolved that the American people would benefit more by the elec tion of Franklin Roosevelt than by that of Thomas Dewey." The Debate council, which held try outs last Wednesday nighj, has selected two debate teams to argue the question. Charles Nice and Robert Morris, both members of the debate squad, will speak for the affirmative, while Bill Mackie and Bill Crisp, members of the Debate council, will uphold the negative view point. Immediately after the. debate, try- outs will be held for the dual debate with the University of Georgia. The tryouts will be held in the Grail Room.

Setting the temper of the discussion of the struggle between the Kuomin tang, or National party, and the Com munists was the text of an address by Agnes Smedley, author of Battle Hymn of China, read by Arthur Goldberg, which outlined the accomplishments of the Communists in the areas under their control. According to the paper "about 100 million people live in eight provinces in this region. CPU members pointed out that the nethods of the Communists were Demo cratic in process in that they estab lished educational campaigns among the people in self-government and dem ocratic elections and have instituted agrarian reform and majority rule. The United States government was accused of backing the wrong horse in its dealing with-the Kai-shek regime, but there was dissention on the ques tion of what could be considered the "right horse." Although no count was taken, there appeared to be a majority in favor of encouraging a coalition government in accordance with pres ent efforts of the Communists them selves. Sentiment against the Kuomintang based on charges of corruption and fail ure to carry out promises of demo cratization within the party and throughout the country was unopposed at the meeting. The CPU agreed also that United Nations pressure should be exerted to urge cooperation between the contend ing factions in the prosecution of the war against Japan, following which aid from United Nations would be more wholehearted, since it is felt aid now sent the Chinese serves only to further the civil war. Staff Meeting All staff members of the Tar Heel are asked to attend an important staff meeting Tuesday afternoon in the Hor ace Williams lounge of Graham Me morial. The meeting will be held at 4:30. PU Board Terminates Editors Appointment The Publications Union Board has terminated the appointment of the editor of The Tar HeeL Last June when the decision was made to continue publication twice a week during the summer, the Board filled the vacancy of editorship by appointment. This appointment was neces sary inasmuch as no student elections were to be held until the Fall. It was made with recognition of the appointee's ability. In terminating the appointment, the Board still recognized that ability and competence. The basis of the action is the editor's continuous incompatibility with the staff. gram is expected to get under way sometime in 1945 and will extend over a period of approximately ten years according to the schedule outlined by Dean House. The completion of the library by the addition of two wings is the first pro ject to be undertaken under the new program. The present library struc ture was erected in 1927 and has been completely outgrown by subsequent expansion of the University. Another majr project is the con struction of a new building to house the School of Commerce which is at present located in Bingham Hall. The new building is to be designed espe cially for use as a Commerce School and will be provided with a sufficient number of modern laboratory and demonstration rooms to take care of all future needs. The space now occu pied by the School of Commerce in Bingham will be used for class rooms after the new building is completed. The Botany Department is to be housed in a modern fire-proof building which is ti be constructed near the Wil son Laboratory for zoology. The fire proof structure will provide a much safer place to store the valuable col lections owned by the botany depart ment and, in addition, will provide suf ficient classroom and office space. The most valuable of botanical collections is the famous "Aste Herbarium" which is one of the most complete col lections of plants, shrubs and trees ever assembled. The present NROTC Armory is to be replaced by a permanent structure which will be located in a more con venient location and will provide greatly improved facilities for the De partment of Naval Science and Tac- ics which is .a permanent part of the University and will continue after the war. The plan also calls for the con struction of a colosseum to be used by the NROTC. Other plans call for the construc tion of a new building to house the Department of Languages which now occupies a part of Murphey Hall, a new building for the Playmakers, a religious center to replace the present YMCA building, five new dormitories, a new shop building to house the Uni versity's repair shop and a general expansion of the public utilities oper ated by the University. The Univer sity also plans to assist the town and county in rebuilding the Chapel Hill high school which was destroyed by fire about two years ago. Another important project is the completion of the University power plant by the addition of a soot elim inator thus solving a problem which is becoming acute for some of the residents of the western part of town. Still another provides for the installa tion of new seats in Memorial Hall. Dean Mackie Announces Additional Pledge List Dean E. L.
