C TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1931 Restoration Of Battle Park Seen By Newly Formed Group That Battle Park, a tract of natural forest lying close in un der the eastern brow of Chapel Hill, may be transformed into the popular woodland retreat it was many years ago, is the be lief of those who met here re cently at the home of Colonel Joseph Hyde Pratt to organize the Battle Park Association. Battle Park, owned by the University, is named for Kemp Plummer Battle, Reconstruction president of the University, who until his death in 1919 took de light in clearing paths and building rustic seats and bridges in this woodland. In his, day the place was beloved rendez vous for those who liked, to walk in the woods, but with the com ing of the automobile, the movies, radio, and highly or ganized sports, the old paths have become dim and the seats and bridges have fallen to de cay. It is for . the restoration of these that the .Battle Park Association was formed.- Colonel Pratt, who was elect ed President of the organization, said, "A great charm of Battle Park has alwaysvbeen that it is woodland in the natural state.

Phillips, of Yale university, spoke last night in Gerrard hall at 8:30 o'clock. His lecture was on the subject, "Tribal Negroes of Cen tral Africa." Dr. Phillips was the holder of a fellowship under the Albert Kahn foundation for the foreign travel of American teachers, and it was during this time that he made his extensive researches in Central Africa. It is on these travels that he based his speech last night. He will also be remembered as the recipient of the award by Little, Brown, and Company for the best unpublished historical manuscript, Life and Labor in the Old South. This- manu script was then bought and pub lished by this company under the same title. Infirmary List The infirmary list increased several patients yesterday. The students confined yesterday were: E. C. Miller, Toy Jones, Elizabeth Hamrick. Charlie Gault, R. B. Freeman, L. R. Drane, M. L. Hall, B. S. Solo mon, J. R. Wall, R. M. Byrd, J. M. Tobin, Jack Riley, and E. B. Grady. Dr. Battle always wanted it to stay, like that, but at the same time he wanted it to be easy of approach. He wanted folks to come into the woods and enjoy them. That is why he laid out the paths and built the bridges and took such tender care of them all his life. "In talking around among my acquaintances I have found considerable interest in the idea of restoring Dr. Battle's paths and bridges. Maybe it's a minor ity who love to walk in the Avoods, but it's a sizeable minor ity; and I believe that as time goes on the park will be used more and more." Mrs. John M. Booker, a granddaughter of President Bat tle, was elected chairman of the association's executive commit tee. Other officers named were : Mrs. E. C. Branson, vice-presi dent; Miss Guelda Elliot, secre tary; Dean W. W. Hobbs, trea surer; and W. C. George, mem ber of the executive committee.

NEWS STAFF TO BE INCREASED TO THIRTY-FIVE MEN Meeting of Contestants for Posi tions Will Take Place This Afternoon. A special meeting has been called this afternoon at 5:00 p. m. in room 104 of the alumni building for all men desiring to work on the reportorial staff of he Daily Tar Heel. It is the plan of the new editor and managing- editor to considerably increase the size of the present staff, thus making, room for from thirty- five to forty new men. Those men interested in writing edi torials are asked to meet at 1 :30 p. m. in the same room. During the next two weeks or more these men trying out for the editorial board will be re quired to turn in at least three or four editorials each week, and for this reason it is urgent that the applicants have passed at least two of the higher English composition courses.

So far this year it has been the plan to have a small repor torial staff, but having tried out this system the editors have de cided to enlarge the present number of reporters two or three times. The main factor to be considered in the choice of the list of reporters is consistent work, as well as the ability of the writer. Men doing the most regular work will be the first choices. To encourage good Work on the paper, charms are given at the end of each year to those men who have done the best work during , the entire time, and the Daily Tar Heel page in the .Yackety Yack also carries a picture of the most competent writers. Aside from these facts, actual journalistic experience is to be gained by working re gularly on the publication.
