The association, assisted by Lawyers Round Up Cowboy Prof essor Professor Patrick Henry Win ston, when he arrived late at the law building to instruct his class in mortgages, was attired in a sporty cowboy, suit of some an tiquity, and a red bandana ker chief which did not quite con ceal his need of a shave. He clattered up to the steps of Man ning hall in a delapidated old buggy drawn by a mangy pony, which he parked in the rear of the law building. This strange assemblage wrould have been left in the front, but Miss lone Post wrathfully intervened. At the end of the instruction in mortgages a very learned and erudite performance Pro fessor Winston, accompanied by Prof essor Millard Sheridan Breckenridge, toured in state to Pritchard-Lloyd's drug store to recuperate from the trials of classes on peanuts and choco late. They wTere accompanied by an admiring throng of students.

The University of Virginia may be "the country club of the South," but it will have to so some to tie this : two boys, a thousand dollar baby grand Piano, an 'electric radio, a glass paneled bookcase, easy chairs, and numerous pictures and tapestries all assembled in one dormitory room. A few months ago the occu pants of the dormitories in the lower quadrangle were some what astonished to hear the -strains of Beethoven's Sonata in D Minor, played on a piano, emanating from one of the rooms in the newest dormitory on the campus. After a few hasty consulta tions, a delegation was chosen to investigate the matter and re- Port back to the crowd of inter ested students the results of the inquiry. The head of the delegation politely rapped on the door, but there was no answer. The music continued to reach the ears of all persons within hearing dis tance. After knocking once or ... lwice more with . no response from within, one of the boys be came impatient and in quite vivid lanffuaee explained what he would do if "this hellish noise doesn't stop." The smooth even tempo of the music continued to float through the halls as if there were not the slightest disturbances with in ten miles. By this time the quality of the music had more or less soothed the "savage breasts" and the students were beginning to conjecture about the mysterious music which ap parently was being, played in side without human assistance. At the conclusion of the selec ion, the door was quietly opened, and the occupant of the room inquired of the delegation what they wished. So startled were the boys at the sight of the student who had, calmly re mained playing throughout and howliner that they could for the moment an swer nothing. The students residing m the buildings on the lower quadran rie. however, soon became ac customed to the strange fact of being treated to selections from the world's greatest composers at all hours of the day and even ing. By the. urgent request of his fellow students, the musical artist was prevailed upon to re frain from playing his instru ment at such times as was iouna rv for study.

By Ed Hazelwood Chief Cheerleader t Since the departure of justly-renowned Kay Kyser from the campus, organized cheering at the University has .been steadily on the decline. Despite the heroic efforts of succeeding cheerleaders, there has been a- noticeable lack of spirit in the responses to cheer leaders at tempts to renew the old enthusi asm at the various athletic events of recent years. The underlying factor behind this lack of cooperation is in dubitably this feeling among the students that sternly forbids any display of school loyalty, emo tion, or enthusiasm. But when this false pose for it is nothing more than a pose -is analysed, all the hypocrisy of such an at-, titude is revealed. Anyone would resent the im plication of being untrue to the Carolina colors, but when no interest-is shown in cheering the Blue and White team, what oth er meaning can possibly be in ferred? The chief cheerleader-elect hereby announces his intention of making the coming year a (turning-point in the develop ment -of - organized cheering at Carolina and hopes to realize a return of that old spirit of loy alty that has always character ized Carolina men in the past. Often visiting teams and stu dent bodies get very poor im pressions of what the Univer sity of North Carolina really is by noticing the lack of enthusi asm shown-in cheering. In ad dition to this unfavorable im pression which may be given to visitors, those men who are up holding Carolina's name on the, (Continued on Zaat page) Student Center Becomes Tangible As Memorial Reaches Completion Ever since work was begun on liranam memorial some months ago, progress has been steadily made until a very tan gible vision of the future stu dent center can now be seen. Workers are at present setting up the stone portico in front of the building. It is expected that this part of the work will be completed in approximately two weeks. The stone is Indiana limestone of a Roman-Doric type, and the architecture is for mal Georgian in keeping with the design of the other new buildings on the campus. Or namental cornices will tip the eight marble columns in front of the building. Plans have been made for a very ornamental lobby with a memorial tablet on the west wail. The exact inscription has not been determined as yet. The lobby floor will be of -marble with walls of cane stone cement. Within the building, work is rapidly progressing oh the main floor. Two marble stairways, with wrought iron rails have been constructed at each end leading upjx mezzannine bal conies. Rest room and coat room facilities for both men and women have also been arranged here. r The ceiling of the main lobby is beautified by a number of large wooden cross beams. Three large chandeliers have been sus pended for lighting facilities and various smaller side lights have " been placed at different points around the walls. A large open fireplace has been built in the center of the north wall. Twelve rooms have been plan ned out on the third floor but their exact use has not yet been determined. A committee has been appointed to decide the use for both the third floor and the basement. The plastering in the base ment, now m progress, will be finished some, time soon. Two winding .flights of concrete stairs have been constructed in the rear of the building. The University architect, Mr. Weeks, stated that the entire job would be finished about com mencementtime. He was un able to give any information re garding the purposes for which the various floors wTould be used. When the building is complet ed, the students will once again have a meeting center. With the gradual increase in enrollment at the University, the present Y, M. C. A. has become too small to act in this capacity, the result of which was the disappearance of informal gatherings of large numbers of students. Graham Memorial will again make these meetings possible..
