Page Four THE DAILY TAH HCEL Fndajv February 28, ijU Miniature Golf Course Behind Post Office Nears Completion Chapel Hill is finally to be blessed with an additional means of entertainment in lieu of the Carolina theatre and card-playing. ;:. ; w V :- G. L. Crowell of Statesville and Messrs. Andrews and Hen ninger of Chapel Hill are part ners in the "Tom Thumb" golf course which is rapidly nearing completion. The course, which is to be called the "Carolina Midget "Golf Course," will be located in a lot behind the postoffice. It will be three times larger than those which are at present in use throughout Florida and Cal ifornia and will include 3000 square feet of playing surface. It will be an 18-hole course and will require about 40 minutes for completion of a round. H. J. Weeks, engineer for the Okoee Amusement Company of Chattanooga, is surveying and plotting the course, Mr. Weeks is also the patentee of the par ticular type of green to be used and he claims that it is semi permanent in. nature, will pre sent at all times a uniform play ing surface, and - will be prac tically water-proof . The course will be replete with roughs, bunkers and haz ards even to the extent of a pretty miniature lake that will attract many, many frolicking golf balls and there will be hills and dales enough to send any golf bug into a rapture. The course will furnish an excellent practicing place for those inter ested in perfecting their stance and putting ability. From re liable sources comes the infor mation that despite the minute size of the course, any -man who makes a hole in one is "pretty durn good." The "Tom Thumb" courses Senior Exams The senior comprehensive ex amination for the winter quar ter will be held Saturday morn ing, March 1st, beginning at 8:30 a. m. in 103 Bingham hall. Those taking the examination will provide themselves with the large; size (32-page) quiz book. The student's name is not to be written anywhere on the amination book. ' ex- have taken the country by storm. Since their inception during July of last year they have become so numerous throughout the south that they have almost be come a nuisance in some cities. They are exceedingly popular in the winter colonies of Florida and in California. Tulane, Ala bama, Rollins, and Southern California are some of the few other colleges that can boast of a course. The . most important feature of the proposition will be the subsequent diversion derived from the course. For night play, which is the time when the courses are generally jammed to the utmost capacity the course will be lighted by 24 lamps of 150 watts each. There will be ample accommodations for spectators and players alike. It is designed like a standard course, not a factory course, and was plotted by the engineer io fit the landscape. Therefore, there are many improvements to be made. rue. engineer an nounced that the course would be open for play for the Satur day after next. The price per round has not yet been announced, but since the rate in Florida and other places is usually 25 cents, it is probable that this course will charge the same amount. Alabama Scientists Find New Element Evidence of the presence of Element 87, one of the two ab sentees of the possible 92 ele ments, has been discovered re cently by Fred Allison and Pro fessor E. J. Murphey of the physics department of Alabama Polytechnic Institute. The evidence in support of the discovery is based upon a new and highly sensitive method of analysis, magneto-optic method, which has been developed by Dr. Allison and Professor Murphey. By this means elements reveal tnemseives in cnemicai com pounds by producing minima of nolarized light at points on a scale which are characteristic of the atomic jnass and . valence of the element. The two elements ores pollucite and lepidolite, showed under this analysis the chemical equivalent of "ekacae sium," this new element. The discovery, if finally estab lished as conclusive, is a goal attained by the Alabama inves tigators that has long been sought by the world's leading scientists. Only one element, No. 85, will still have escaped the eyes of science. A preliminary1 announcement of the results concerning Ele ment 87' is being published as a note in the forthcoming issue of the Physical Review. The element has not been sepa rated chemically. Thus far, only a preliminary statement has been made by Dr. Allison and Professor Murphey while their investigations are being contin ued. ' Bishop Remington To Be Here Tonight The Right Reverend William P. Remington, Bishop of East ern Oregon and one of the 'most popular men. in the Episcopal church, will come to Chapel Hill today and will be at the parish house tonight for an informal talk with students. He has visited many of the colleges in his work and is thoroughly familiar with the problems of college life; and his talk should prove highly interesting. All students who would like to meet him and talk with him are cor dially invited to be at the parish house , tonight at 8 o'clock .
