DAILY TAR HEEL
STAFF ORGANIZES
IN MET TONIGHT
Reporters, Editorial and Fea
ture Writersto JMeet
At Seven.
Tonight at 7 o'clock there "will
be a meeting of the staff of the
Daily Tar Heel in its . office in
the rear of Alumni building. All
former members of the' staff are
requested to be present, and all
new men who are interested in
trying out for positions on the
staff .are asked to report. Pre
vious experience in newspaper
ivork, 'white desirable, is not at
all necessary. All men who
bave done work on prep school
and high school papers 'are es
pecially desired.
A position on the Tar Heel
staff is held an enviable one by
Carolina students. Last year,
under the leadership of Editor
Holder, Managing Editor Yar
borough, and Business Manager
Alexander, the paper made, its
first start as a daily publication
and was considered a great' suc
cess by the students, as a vote
of confidence by the student
body showed.
This year the staff will be led
by Will Yarborough as editor,
Jack Dungan as managing edi
tor, and "Pat" Patterson as busi
ness manager, and indications
point toward an even more suc
cessful publication this year.
The paper has rapidly gained
fame in college circles through
out the country. To be a mem
ber lof the. editorial, staff, and
even of the reportorial staff, is
considered an honor on the Uni
versity campus. ,
Aside from the distinction to
be gained, a wealth of valuable

TIN CAN IS MOST
USEFUL BUILDING c
ON U. N. C. CAMPUS
Huge 4 Tin Structure Is Now
Used for Registration, Re
ceptions and Commencement
Dances.
By Will Yarborough
It is extremely doubtful if
the planers of the Tin Can, the
University of North Carolina's
large athletic arena, foresaw the
usefulness of the structure when
-they set out to enlarge Carolina's
athletic equipment. Certainly
few of them could have imagined
at that time that it would become
just about the most useful build
ing here.
But it has. Condemnation of
Memorial Hall last spring left
the registration officials with
out an adequate building for re
gistering the students enrolling
here this week. The Tin Can was
the solution.
Back in 1923 when Carolina
basketball teams were winning
titles with monotonous regular
ity it became evident that By
num Gymnasium was inadequate
As no money was available for
an up-to-date gym, the Tin Can
was built. Three hundred feet
long and one hundred feet wide
the structure was suitable for
almost every need of the athletic
authorities.
It was completed in January
1924 and dedicated at the Caro
lina-Mercer basketball game!
Caroling won that night, 35-23
and contnued winning until it
had captured its second consecu
tive Conference title.

returned from a full summer of
study at the University of
cago, where he" has been for the
past two months or more work
ing in the university library on-j
a history of melodrama which he
hopes to publish sometime in the
future. ''-

consisted of teaching courses in
melodrama and comparative
drama at Northwestern Univer

also found time to help three
graduate students who were
attending North Western Uni
versity. N
Professor Heffner stated
that he enjoyed his summer's
stay at Chicago. The work done
by him during the summer
months will undoubtedly be of
aid to the Carolna Playmakers
this coming season.

Is Outlined.
The Carolina Dormitory Club,

operating service rooms in every
dormitory, began its second
year, with a meeting Friday
night by electing officers and

The Dormitory Club was or
ganized last year under the su
pervision of the buildings de
partment of the University con
solidated service plants, when
agents were prohibited from
coming into the dormitories be
cause of the annoyance and
thefts caused by the easy access
of all kinds of persons to the
dormitories.
The service rooms were es
tablished in every dormitory and
were put in the charge of self
help students rendering partial
ly -the services of agents. The
commissions and profits derived
from the stores, on an average,
paid for; the board of the op
erators. The new rules of the service
rooms are hardly any different
from last year's. The chief dif
ference is that a standardized
list of articles and services is
suggested which in no way are
aimed, to interfere witb the trade
of local merchants. ,
The stores will handle candy,
chewing gum, bottled drinks,
milk, sandwiches, fruit, peanuts,
smoking tobacco and matches,
tooth paste, shaving cream, soap,
hair tonic, pressing, shoe re
pairing, writing materials, pen
nants and banners of local mer
chants. This is a complete list
of authorized articles.

ization are: J. B, Parker, presi
dent; R. H. Morgan, vice-president
