C SUNDAY, MAY 24, 1931 Fate Of New Graham Memorial Will Rests On Vote Of Students Election to Take Place Sometime This Week to Decide Whether Student Body Is Willing to Pay Three Dollars a Year ' As Maintenance Fee. o As the last of the scaffolding i was torn down from the front of the Graham Memorial build ing last Friday, the completion of a project which has been in progress for nearly twelve year3 nears its goal. There is one last step before the building may be usedand this will be made dur ing this week when the student body will go to the polls to de cide whether they are willing to pay a dollar a quarter for the use of this student union. The movement for a student activities building was started in 1919 when it was suggested that a fitting memorial to the late President Edward Kidder Graham, who 'had died in the fall of 1918 during the flu epi demic, be' erected for his splen did service to the University and state. , ' History of Building During the year 1919 $123,000 was subscribed from alumni, students, faculty, and friends, but the campaign was suspend ed during the following year on account of the business depres sion. Renewed efforts were made in 1923 arid the goal was increased from $123,000 to $400,000. An employed secre tary was appointed to take charge of the drive, and under the direction of W. Jay Ward, a group of students canvassed tha state during the summer of 1923 in an effort to reach this quota. Enough money was pledged to warrant starting work on the structure late that year. At that time an article appearing in The Tar Heel stated that the "campus is now definitely as sured of the proposed Graham Memorial building," but as was soon found the students have had to wait several more years before this statement could come true. As some of the pledges were never collected, work was sus pended until this past fall when a gift of $80)000 by an anony mous New York .alumnus as sured the completion of the cen ter portion of the memorial. It is hoped that some time in the future money may be raised to Class Of imi mil Convene Here To Celebrate Golden Anniversary . -o . Thirty-Three Living Members of Class, Including Many of State's Prominent Men, Will Recall Old Times at This -Year's Commencement. By Glenn Holder One of the most colorful clas ses ever graduated from the University of North Carolina, the class of 1881, will celebrate its Golden Anniversary at Chap el Hill during this year's Com mencement exercises. It will hold its reunion on Alumni Day, June 8, along with eleven other classes. Practically all of the thirty three living members of the class of 1881 have achieved dis tinction far above the average since they left the University campus fifty years ago. Charles Duncan Mclver, president and founder of North Carolina Col lege for Women at Greensboro, and one of the greatest cham pions of the cause of education in the history of the state, was one of the most' popular mem bers of the class. Eminent Members Three eminent members of complete a wing on each end of the present structure. The Social Center Graham Memorial was plan ned from the start to be a stu dent center and general get to gether place for all students. Unless a student is a member of a fraternity there is almost no place in which he may enter tain visitors. The graduate stu dents, a relatively small group, have exclusive use of their quarters for this purpose. The present Y.M.C.A. building is al together inadequate for social usuage, lack of rest rooms be ing very noticeable, and yet this building is the only place at present for students to spend their leisure time. The new memorial equipped with lounge and reception rooms will act as a sort of lobby for the campus. . The work of the committee of students,, faculty, and alumni, who will decide what' use will be made of the various rooms, has postponed its decision until , the vote of the student body on a maintenance fee is taken. If the campus is not in favor of taxing itself to the extent of $3 a year for the building, it will have to be closed again, and used for a storehouse as has been the case for the, past five years. Although money has been secured to build tHe memorial there has been no fund allotted to maintaining and furnishing it. Well-Equipped Club The building is planned to pro vide a home for the various campus clubs, councils, and pub lications, on the second floor. According to present plans the basement will be used mainly as a recreational center, with a bowling alley and other fea tures. With the main floor con taining reading and rest rooms, the memorial will be nothing more or less than a well-equipped student hotel or club for the use of all. If the Carolina student wants to have the use of this building during the coming year, he can do his part by voting to tax himself a $3 a year union dues. the class, Judge Charles Ran dolph Thomas, member of the House of Representatives for eleven years and until recently a special judge, Colonel Leroy Springs, one of the foremost capitalists of the Carolinas, and John Henry Dillard, Jr.,. state legislator and prominent in the state's political life for many years, have died within the past three months. The class was graduated at the close of one of the University's most eventful years. Just five years previously, the institution had been reopened after a seven year"1 suspension following the Civil War. North Carolina had only partially recovered from the effects of the conflict, and the evils of Reconstruction were at their height. President Kemp Plummer Battle reported to the General -Assembly' that1 the Uni versity's annual income of (Contiitved sn tstt page) Class President - "V" 1 Joe Eagles of Wilson, who was unanimously elected permanent president of the senior class at their smoker Friday night. COBB TO ATTEND PARIS CONVENTION University Geologist Will Sail For France in August for Scientific Conference. Professor Collier Cobb, head of the University geological de partment, will sail for Havre, France, in August to attend the International Geological con ference in Paris, August 14-21. This trip will be afforded him by the discontinuance of the an nual University transcontinental motor tour of the geological de partment during the summer. Due to the inadequacy of funds, the department has seen fit to cut down expenses along this line. Professor Cobb's speech at the conference will be on the subject of "Dune Sands and Eolian Soils in Relation to Present and Past Climatic Conditions on the Con tinent of North , Arn.erica.'' : . Despite the ancient epigram that a rolling stone gathers no moss, this noted geologist is gathering fame, "Beating about this old world of ours," as he terms it. His most recent suc cess has been the acceptance of his work in connection with the Loess deposits in China by the standard textbooks.
