S S v . fraternities Send Invitations To Frosh Through Deans Office Fraternities Must Send Cards To Dean of Students' Office Today Inviting Frosh to Visit On Friday and Saturday. The first steps toward rushing season, somewhat altered in form from those of previous years, will be taken today by the various Greek orders now exist ing on the Hill when lists of desired freshmeii.are sent in by the fraternities to the dean of students. The dean will then send cards to the men invited by the fraternities. The freshmen must visit the houses to which they are invited sometime be tween the hours of 2 and 12 p. m. Friday or between 7 and 12 p. m. Saturday. Failure to ap pear at those houses to which he . is invited will bar the4 offender from joining any fraternity dur ing the time that he is a student at the University of North -Carolina. Because of the fact that the rushing period this year is short er than those of previous years the rushing will naturally be more intensive. A freshman can easily make his dates for the entire season with the first two fraternities that he visits and such is .heartily discouraged by the inter-fraternity council. Freshmen are urged to go slow ly in making their decisions in other words "keep your heads up." v ; ' Both .freshmen and members of fraternities have been warned of the period of silence that now exists. Breaking of this rule is likely to bar any freshman Jrpm fraternities and subject the fra ternity to a, fine of . a hundred dollars. Rushing is defined as entertaining, engaging in social conversation, or in any kind of communication whatsoever with the exception of formal saluta tions. , , Church Conference Commences Today More than ninety clergy and laymen of the'state will convene Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day at the Chapel .of the Cross for the annual fall conference of the Diocese of North Carolina.

S 10,000 Is Available for Organ and Addition to old Library "... for Auditorium. TRUSTEES MEET Local Architects Working on Plans for Remodelling - Library. The executive committee of trustees " of the University of North Carolina met in Raleigh yesterday with Governor O. Max Gardner and approved the ap pointment of two new profes sors, heard an optimistic report by Harry W. Chase, and was notified of another gift of $40, 000 by an unnamed alumnus. The $40,000 gift was made available by the same party who some time ago offered the Uni versity $30,000 with which to purchase, an organ. No suitable place for the organ has been found and the donor offered the additional sum for the purpose of erecting an auditorium addi tion to the old Carnegie library, which is now being refitted for a music hall. The organ would beplaced in the addition, which would seat 800 people. The ex ecutive committee approved the plan and architects will see if the addition can be made. The University architects, At- wood & Nash, Inc., in consulta tion with Dr. H. 3- Dyer, Pro fessor T. S. McCorkle and Pro fessor N. O.. Kennedy, of the music department, .have made l It 1 s ' t -m tentative pians ior tne auai- torium . addition - to - the old li brary building, which is now be ing converted to the uses of the school of music. These plans show an addition 101 feet long and 61 feet wide to the rear, or west, of the building, the archi tecture of which is in keeping with the design of the old part. As is well known, the stack room of the old library building was thoroughly reproof. ; This stack room, 28 by 57 feet; is in corporated as a part of the au ditorium, giving a hall 82 feet by 58 feet by 32 feet high, with seating accommodations for' about 800 people. The stage oc cupies a space 47 feet by 58 feet, of which 32 feet by 49 feet is visible to the audience, the re mainder, at the rear, being used, on the main floor, for dressing and toilet rooms, above which are four large chambers for the accommodation of the organ. The rear partition oi tne stage is composed in a large part of grills, through which the sound of the organ will be heard. ' The blower room for the or gan wind is located in the base ment, and special precautions are being taken to prevent the sound of the blower being heard about the building. The stage floor is level for use for recital purposes, and is to have removable seats rising in tiers at the back, for use by the glee club, the A Capella choir, the- University band, concert band and the University Orches tra. The best advice obtainable is being utilized to make the audi torium acoustically correct, and the entire building is being. de signed around the requirements of a first-class organ installa tion.
