The electric wiring throughout the student union is now finished and all the rooms on the second floor are completely plastered. The rough primary , flooring has been nailed down in the rooms of the upper floor. Iron stairways leading to the upper rooms and basement have been set in place, but the railings and stone steps have not yet been added. Basement Finished Masons have recently com pleted laying the limestone blocks which are to constitute the pavement for the floor of the portico. The basement of the building is practically finished except for fixtures and furni ture. The floor of the main room of the basement is paved with red tiles, which lend a good deal of color to the otherwise barren room, and the basement corridor has. red cement for the flooring. The interior decorators and men who are to install the elec trical fixtures will soon take charge of the edifice and add the last touches. Memorial Begun in 1924 Work on the Graham Memor ial was begun in 1924, but due to lack of money it was not able to be completed until this TAYLOR SOCIETY HEARSHALLETT General Manager of Kendell Mills Discusses Scientific Maintenance of Factories. H. K. Hallett, general man ager of Kendell mills, in a talk before the student branch of the Taylor society Thursday night on the subject of "Scien tific Plant Maintenance," stated that "maintenance is founded oh prevention instead of cure." Mr. Hallett has made a success as general manager of the Kendell Mills because he has always tried to prevent rather than to cure unrest among his em ployees. - Regular Inspection Planned The speaker discussed the topic of plant maintenance from the standpoint of machinery, belting, electrical equipment. painting, and fire prevention. In turn, each of these topics were discussed in detail, and the most important feature of a maintenance plan was brought out to be inspection. At regu lar intervals everything that comes under each of the above mentioned items is inspected and the findings recorded in a permanent file. From an ob servation of these files system atic repair periods are deter mined. When the Kendell chain was taken over, it was bankrupt and in such a dilapidated condition that it seemed almost hopeless, but the scientific method of maintenance was instituted and the organization was built up until now it is one of the most efficient in the South. Even in these bad times, when most mills are running only about half time, these mills that are man aged by Mr. Hallett are running full time and a ready market is found for the finished articles. 0 on Graham Memorial, Patterson- Carr Building, and Plans for Are About Complete. o ' spring when , an alumnus, who prefers tq remain anonymous, donated the funds necessary for its completion.

The organ has been heard in numer ous other concerts, the first of which was the performance of The Messiah" in December, by the Chapel Hill community cho rus. Many musicians of note have visited the music building while passing through Chapel Hill, and have expressed their admiration for the organ. Beginning with the concert on November 23, Professor Ken nedy has played concerts on the vesper series during each month except December. It is estimat ed that exclusive of the three ca pacity audiences which attend ed the dedication of the organ by Edward Eigenschenk in Nov ember, more than 3,000 people have listened to Professor Ken nedy's playing since the series opened. The success which has attended this series encourages the department of music to an nounce that during the next school year, beginning with the first Sunday in October, this series will be continued. It was originally planned to bring eight prominent musicians to the University. For various (Continued on next page) CLASSICS PROFESSORS TO SEE GREEK DRAMA. J. M. Saunders, George Howe and G. A.

NUMBER 172 FEE NEEDED FOR MAINTENANCE OF STUDENT CENTER Student Body Will Voice Opinion on Quarterly $1 Fee. At a banquet of the Student Activities committee Thursday night at the Carolina Inn, a de finite proposal for student or ganization and maintenance of the Graham Memorial building as a student activities union was agreed upon. This was the final step in formulating the fut ure of the building. This pro position, which was decided only after a lengthy and heated discussion in which all those present took an active part, is to "be presented to the student body of the University for its decision. Student Union Fee The vote on the proposal is to be taken before commence ment, and all students of the University will vote together. It embodies the levying of a one dollar per quarter student union fee lipon each student of the University, which fee is to be oftllpp.ted hv.fhp bnsinps?? nffirp and turned over to the com- miffpp nf a ministry firm rvf t.hA student union. Therefore, the change means that each student will pay twelve dollars for the use of the building during his four years. This three dollar assessment each year on every student would, figuring on an active student bodv of 2000. amount to at least $6000 a year. Mr. C. T. Woollen informed the committee that it will take this amount to run the building for a year. Mr. Woollen justified this amount by saying that the state would not furnish heat, light, or upkeep for the building.
