Near the end of the Half Carolina had an -eight-point lead, but Durham rallied and reduced it to two. Hutchison shot a goal as the . half ended, making the score 14-10.

One Year Ago Today University Was Closed Due To Flu Scare (By Browning Roach) "Hello, this the infirmary? Well, listen, we have five cases of flu here afC dormitory. Can you take'care of them?" "We have only two or three cots left, but bring them around and we'll make arrangements somehow." The time' was a year ago yes terday, December 13. -The char acters were : first, and most im portant, three undergraduates, a junior, a senior and a fresh man; and second, , an attendant at the infirmary. Another tele phone call at the infirmary. The attendant picked up the receiver. "Hello," came the words over the line, "this is so-and-so speaking at J dorm. We have four or five cases of flu here and want you to prepare to receive them in a few minutes." "I don't know how we'll take care of them, but bring them around anyway. We'll do the best we can." In a fewv moments another phone call,' and still another. This must be a serious epidemic, e tensive Improvements Will e Made On Peabody Building; To Remodel Interior Of Hall Classes Next Quarter Classes of the winter 'quar ter will begin on Friday, Jan uary 3rd. There will be 30 days of probation for each day of classes that any stu dent fails to attend. A late registration fee of $5 will also be charged to those who reg ister after the regular days assigned for that purpose. Folklore Course Here Next Quarter A general course An folklore will be established in the Uni versity next quarter in the com parative literature department. Dr. R. S. Boggs will be instruc tor and the course will be listed as comparative literature 85. The hour has not been given, but, according to Dr. Boggs, it may be in the afternoon. The course will define the various types of folk literature the folk tale, ballad, legend, my thr riddle, etc. Theories of origins will be discussed and in dividual studies of a compara tive nature made, following the different themes in their vaga ries through different countries: CHAPEL HILL SCHOOL TO ENTERTAIN WITH CIRCUS A school circus is being given at the high-school, building at 7:30 this evening. The main event will take place in the audi torium, after which there will be a series of side shows in the rooms above. As a preliminary to the circus, a parade, starting , from the school building at 4:30, will pass down Franklin street and through the campus. Admission to the main show will be 15 cents, and to the side shows 5 cents. . Sandwiches, cakes,: lemonade and candy will be sold.. Proceeds will go to -the high school annual. Gerrard Hall Closed Gerrard hall was closed yes terday until after the Christ mas holidays, so that repairs may be made to its roof. thought the infirmary attendant. We'll have to let Dr. Chase know that the situation is growing worse. - And those of you who were here last year will recall that at 2 o'clock Wednesday after noon, December 13, the hastily-got-tpgether University commit tee called it a holiday ana dis missed classes almost a full week early to forestall the advance of the influenza epidemic. Now, whether or not these entirely in nocent telephone calls had any thing to do with the final deci sion of the committee is a mat ter of mere speculation, and we'll let it rest at that. And look at us this year everybody on the campus as healthy and hearty as can be, no flu, no pneumonia, no nothing (I believe there are a couple of chaps Henry London and C. G. Stafford confined to the in firmary with colds, however.) Guess we'll all just have to stay here until next week and face exams. No three weeks' holi days this year. - CHAPEL HILL, N. C SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1929 School of Education To Have New Auditorium, More Class rooms and Improved Offices. Plans which have been an nounced concerning the remod eling of Peabody building -provide for a large auditorium, more classroom space and a much , improved arrangement of offices for. the' administrative force arid the professors in. the school of education. The legislature made appro priations last year for a new wing to be added to Peabody, but owing , to lack of available funds, .the trustees' building committee decided instead, to enlarge the basement and to make an entirely new layout for the first and second floors. The University is following the same policy with Peabody that it fol lowed in reconstructing the in terior of South building, New West, Old West, Old East and New East. The alterations will take place only on the interior. The inside will be remodeled en tirely, while the outside will re main unchanged. While the work is going on in Peabody, the University school of education will be quartered temporarily Jn the old library building, which is in the process of being converted into, a home for -the. music department. The construction , of the auditorium at the rear of the library, where the pipe I'organirtcT be installed, will be able to proceed without interfering with the activities of the school of education in the main building. The reconstruc tion of Peabody is expected to be completed soon after the Christmas holidays, or during the winter quarter at the latest. Abernethy Will Return To Chapel Hill Today Dr. Eric A. Abernethy, uni versity physician, who is under going treatment at McPherson hospital, Durham, for sinus trouble, is expected to be oack in his office today. "Dr. Aber nethy was taken to the hospital Thursday and was under the care of Mr. McPherson. Community Xmas Tree Chapel Hill is to have a com munity Christmas tree again this year. . A holly tree,' il luminated with vari-colored elec tric lights, will be placed' on the campus lawn not . far from Franklin street near, the new dorms. Santa Claus, in his tra ditional costume, will distribute gifts to the boys and girls. At 4 :30 on the afternoon of Monday, December 23, a brief program will be conducted at the Presbyterian church. Rev. A. S. Lawrence, rector of the Chapel of the Cross, will read the story of the first Christmas tree, and George H. Lawrence will, lead in the singing of Christmas carols. Every child is asked to bring toys and clothing for the poor. The county welfare officer re ports that this year there is more poverty than usual in and around Chapel Hill. - Quarter's Chapel Over There will be no further chap el exercises this quarter. Ger rarjj hay has been closed for certain repairs to the interior which will not be completed be fore the close of the Christmas holidays. . A Correction In the news story appear ing in yesterday's Tar Heel the following statement ap peared under the heading, Tuberculosis Seal Sale Con ducted By Community Club': "The patients who are the greatest menace to the stu dents in the community are among the servants attached to various, food dispensing units here.' This statement is misleading. Sirs . Otto Stuhlman, , chairman of the local committee, states that there are no tubercular pa tients connected with the var ious food dispensing units here. Baptist Church Will Give Pageant Sunday . Sunday night; December 15, the Baptist church will present a Christmas pageant entitled "Bethlehem." Oriental costumes will be worn by the cast, and the scenery and stage effects are to be very picturesque according to the committee in charge. Some forty persons will take part in the pageant. It will be held in the main auditorium of the Baptist church Sunday night at 8:30 P.M. ' Home Gets Trees W. B. Sanders of the "Univer sity department of sociology has announced the gift of 75 fruit trees and 25 grapevines as a Thanksgivmg..gif t from Paul C. Lindley, president of the Lind ley nurseries of Greensboro, to the state home and industrial school for delinquent Negro girls. The school, located near Efland in Orange county, was founded by the state federation of Negro Women's Clubs. For the past few years this organ ization has made numerous ef forts to have the institution taken over by the state, but so far they have succeeded only in getting a small annual appro priation for this purpose. Con sequently the equipment of the school is inadequate. Much Comment Caused Here News Of Collins' Offer From Georgetown University (By Browning Roach) With the publication of ar ticles in the Washington Times and the News and Observer con cerning Coach Chuck Collins' offer from Georgetown, rumors have arisen and discussions have sprung up as to the possibility or probability of any immediate action being taken by the Caro lina coach. His contract here at the University still has a year to run.-'.. Coming to Carolina after one year's coaching experience and building up the football team to its present standard, Coach Col lins has earned the confidence and esteem of everyone con nected with Carolina. It is pessible that the salary question will come to bear on the situation. It would take a con siderably larger sum than he is now receiving ; to lure Collins away from the Hill. The coach ing situation here, as things now stand would present' s more at tractive proposition than that at Georgetown! The eastern uni versity will be handicapped next season by a noticeable lack of material, while very few x men will be lost from the varsity squad for Carolina. radshaw Urges Use Of. Loan Fund By Students Sociology 11 Will Be Offered Winter And Spring Terms Dr. E. R. Groves, professor of sociology, will offer his course Sociology 11, "Marriage and the Family," in both the winter and the spring quarters this year. The course has heretofore been offered only in the final quarter of the year. Sociology 11, which is open only to male senior students, will take up a study of the fam ily, parent-child relationships, wife - husband relationships, problems of the home and the like. This is the third year which the course has been given. A number of colleges and uni versities over the country have realized the need for courses dealing with the family and marriage problems and have re cently instituted them. Dr. Groves is an authority on the subject and has written a number of books dealing with marriage and the family. The course is offered next quarter at the 12 o'clock hour. '. Upperclassmen To Register Next Week The Registrar's offices an nounce that all upperclassmen, (juniors and seniors), and students in the professional schools will register during the examination period, De cember 18-21. . Students in the. college of liberal arts will register in the offices of the department in which they are majoring; all others will register with their deans. No registration will be ac cepted by the Registrar's of fice unless all courses needing assignments to classes are properly validated and all outstanding fees at the busi ness office and library have been paid. First and second year stu dents will register January 2. It will take 'some skillful coaching to build a strong team for Georgetown next year, while here Collins would have only to continue with the work already well started. The inauguration of a new system of coaching is quite- a task and ordinarily re quires several seasons to pro duce favorable results.' The re sults of Collins' work here are just coming to light, and the recognition due him is now be ing accorded.- He would have to begin again at Georgetown the job of building up a team, just as he did at Carolina four years ago. When he came to Caro lina Collins faced the problem not only of building up a team worthy of note but of acquiring a reputation also. National recognition has descended upon the young Notre Dame coach and the team he has engineered through a prosperous season. Since the entire football coach ing staff, as well as the grad uate manager, are out of town, reports of the Georgetown of fer have yet to be verified, and Collins' attitude has yet to be ascertained. An extract from the article Continued n page four NUMBER 11 Dean of Students Says No One Should Give Up School Be cause of Monetary Reasons. Dean Francis . F. Bradshaw issued an invitation yesterday afternoon to those students who feel doubtful about returning to school next quarter because of financial difficulties to make use of the student loan fund. Although the fund is not suf fering from an over abundance of wealth, there is enough money at its disposal to enable every student who needs the money for his continuation at school to obtain it. The dean of students, who had originally intended to bring this before the students in chapel exercfses Monday and Tuesday, but who is prevented from so doing by the repair work on Gerrard hall, stressed the fact that no student need give up his education because of lack of funds. Anyone who has been consid ering giving up school for mone tary reasons should make an ap pointment with the student loan fund officials before the Christ mas holidays. Room 205 South building is. the office of the dean of . students and loans will be granted through that office. Engineers Complete Culvert Pipe Test The school rofengineering in cooperation with the state high way commission has recently completed a study of the be havior of a new type of culvert pipe under an earth fill 44 feet high. The fill is one being made during the construction of the re-located route of highway No. 60 between North Wilkes boro and Boone. During the field tests of this pipe, which is made of cast iron with spiral corrugations, obser vations were made and accurate deflections were taken at a point inside the 30-inch barrel verti cally under the center of the roadway. The re-location -of highway No; 60 is considered little short themasterpiece of highway con struction in this state. Many extremely heavy cuts and fills have been made and at one point, to avoid , a very heavy and ex pensive fill, a concrete bridge 105 feet above the stream bed will be built. H. A. Schmitt made the field observations as the representa? tive of the school of engineering and was on the work during the entire time of construction. This new type of pipe is the same as that on which labora tory tests were made at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, which were observed by Dean Braune ; of the school of engineering. . , V FOUNDATION DIRECTOR VISITS UNIVERSITY A. J. Warren, who is in charge of the fellows of the Rockefeller Foundation, was recently in ChapelHill for the purpose of visiting the school of engineer ing and seeing Dr. J. R. Mar-tinez-Ponte, a holder of a Rocke feller fellowship from Venezuela, who is taking graduate work here. While in Chapel Hill, Mr. Warren, who is a brother of J. A. Warren, treasurer - of the University, was entertained by Professor Thorndike Saville of the school of engineering.
