NASH MH LEAVE HILL FOR WASHINGTON University Architect Has Served Here Since 1922; Designed ' Eight Major Buildings On Campus. , Arthur C. Nash, the Univer sity architect, will leave Chapel Hill at the end of the summer to live in Washington, D. C. Mr. Nash is retiring from the firm of Atwood and Nash, Inc., architects and engineers, but he will continue to be associated with Mr. Atwood in a consulting capacity. Mr. Nash came here . eight years ago, in 1922. This was the year after the legislature had provided funds for the expan sion of the University, and building operations were under way. But the most important structures that have risen here in the last decade were designed by Mr! Nash. The new Library, the woman's building, the Gra ham Memorial, , the Carolina Inni the Kenan Stadium, the re constructed South building, the dormitories to the east of the campus, and the later classroom buildings all these are . monu ments to his skill, his artistic sense, and his good taste. Buildings of his design outside the campus include several fra ternity houses and homes in the village. In Raleigh the revenue buildingrthe fairground ' build ing, and the additions at Peace Institute were constructed from his plans, and he also planned the renovation of the state capi- tol. - The sentiments of the comnm- nity are appropriately expressed by the Chapel Hill Weekly, which says: "The University and the vil lage owe a great debt ; to Mr. Nash. His ability as an archi tect has been only part of- his contribution to the cbmmuhiiy. His 'feel' for the traditions' and atmosphere of the place, his de votion to the ideal of harmony between the old and the new, the sympathy and understanding he has brought to bear upon every one of his projects, and his un failing courtesy and kindliness have .won the admiration and goodwill of all who know him. Chapel Hill honors him both for his achievements as an archi tect and his character as a man JITNEY PLAYERS TO APPEAR MRE Widely Known Actors Will Pre sent Two Plays in Playmaker Theatre April 14 And 15.

CAROLINA CO-EDS BEG STICKERS, ASK 'DATES' WITH HARVARD MEN Letters Addressed To "Handsomest,'' "Best Sport," Etc, Delivered At Random By The Yard Postman. From Boston Herald) There is no end apparently to the audacity of co-eds of a cer tain North Carolina college in collecting, college "stickers," and incidentally in corresponding with Harvard men. So much the Rover learned when he per used the contents of several let ters written by the co-eds to such; as "Mr. Harvard's Hand somest," "Mr. Harvard's Best Sport," "Mr. Harvard's Best Athlete," "Mr, Harvard's Best Dancer," and other "Mr. Har vard's So and So." In reading such letters the Rover was somewhat taken a- back. He could scarcely be lieve his eyes were reading the thoughts expressed on the hand written pages, but he wasn't "seeing things," of that he is very certain. . These North Carolina co-eds addressed their contemporaries at Cambridge expressing the wish that the Harvard students woiila see fit to comport them selves a3 gentlemen and scholars and reward the writers with stickers. The stickers request ed are those that may be seen almost any day on the wind shields of automobiles and "collegiate phords" parked in the vicinity of Harvard square. "Dates" Are Arranged But these girl-student-writers don't stop at requesting stickers ; they go right on and suggest NOTED PROFESSOR T0SPEAMI0NDAY J. Y. T. Creig Of The University Of Durham, England, To Talk In Bingham Hall Tomorrow Night. Professor J. Y. T. Grieg of the University of Durham, England, who is visiting this country, will speak informally in Bingham hall 103, Monday evening at 7 :30 on certain trends in contempor ary English literature. Professor Grieg's address will conclude be fore 8:30, in order that those who wish may attend the con cert, v. Professor Grieg has been a visiting professor at Vanderbilt University this year, and is now making a tour of southern edu cational institutions. He comes here directly from Georgia, and will leave Chapel Hill for the University of Virginia. Besides being a professor of English literature, Mr. Greig is a nove list well known to the British reading public. Students; and faculty members especially in terested in language and litera ture are cordially invited to hear Mr. Greig, as for that matter are all who are interested in contemporary letters. Professor Greig will be here . Monday and Tuesday. : fc ' ; -' .; v. . Exchange Of Pulpits : This morning at the eleven o'clock hour the .. Rev. W. D. Moss of the Presbyterian church wiil - preach at the - Methodist church while Mr. Rozzelle the Methodist pastor is filling the Presbyterian pulpit. Later in the Spring there will be other exchanges among the various ministers of Chapel Hill. A full attendance is expected at each service today. that any time the certain Har vard man is in the region of a certain town, usually in North Carolina, he must be sure to get in touch by telephone or other wise with the writer. Rewards in tne iorm oi dates are promised by the assumingly-fair co-eds. In fact, the Rover noted, the letters go to some length to arrange for the contemplated meetings. ' One young lady who described herself as blond, five-feet-four, and "considered attractive by her mates," wrote to "Mr. Har vard's Handsomest," that she had a collection of college stickers which included all the best known institutions of learn ing, excepting Harvard. "It seems to me," she wrote in a pretty hand, "that Harvard's prestige is somewhat to be ques tioned by anyone who views my collection, and finds Harvard's sticker among the missing." She appeals to his "college spirit" to relieve the situation. Another young lady (the name is signed, and apparently authentic) states in a letter to "Harvard's Best Sport," that she understands from what she has been able to gather that Harvard men are generally con sidered good sports. Then she goes on to ask him not to dis appoint her by refusing to send the requested sticker.
