FRESH SUPPORT GIVEN VIRGINIA SPECTATOR (Continued from first page) leave one's room, . so that one might study. Not this today. Dormitory v presidents, councils, and managers guard the welfare of the dormitory members on every hand. Even itinerant agents have been "shoo-ed" away, and a- dormitory office holds mercantile sway in each dormitory. In fact, with the civilization of some of the more exuberant of the "younger gen-. eration, the dormitories would be the quietest and best room ing places on the campus. The dormitory club deserves consid erable honor and recognition for planning and perfecting several of these reforms. B. C. Wilson, president of Old East dormitory, Was elected as president of the club. J. G. Pleasant, Mangum, was elected vice-president. J. S. Weathers, Ruffin, was elected treasurer.

Previewers Praise Show "Noah's Ark" INVESTIGATE ORIGIN OF TERM TAR HEEL' (From News and Observer Bureau) Washington, Oct. 9. Senator Overman has had the Library of Congress investigate the origin of the term "Tar Heel" as. a synonym for North Carolinians. He is informed that the Oxford English dictionary says "it is a nickname for a native or inhabi tant of North Carolina, in allu sion to tar as a principal product of that State." ' The Library of Congress ex pert also gives his approval to a quotation from John S. Farm er's "Americanisms," published in London in 1885, stating that it was a name .given in derision by. Mississippians to a brigade of North Carolinians, who in one of the great battles of the Civi War, .farled to hold their posi tion on a certain hill. The Mississippians taunted the North Carolinians with having forgotten to tar their heels -that morning, and hence the cant name. ' University, Va., Oct. 9. - (Special.

Bloomer, editor-in chief. "If, after every person at the - University has had a chance to subscribe, we can't make up seven hundred subscrip tions," said a staff member, "it will be definitely settled that the University of Virginia cannot or will not support any magazine of serious purpose."

"The scenic effects -were the most marvelous I ever saw, and for teaching a lesson, the pic- ure is unsurpassed." This was the comment of the Reverend C. Rozzelle of the Methodist church on "Noah's Ark," the pic- ure being shown at the Caro- ina today. Before being shown to the public this week, "Noah's Ark" was presented at a special pre view for University officials, he clergymen . of Chapel Hill, and the press of the town.

In addition, therefore, to the fam ous stupendous Biblical scenes, It I All mere are pictures oi xne war and of the mobilization in Paris. The sets used for the picture are the largest and most costly ever built. For the flood scenes, the climax of the photoplay, tons of water were employed.
