Stadium Is Noted Example
Of Gridiron Architecture
Structure Combines Beauty and
Usefulness; Gift of Wil
Ham Rand Kenan, Jr.
Kenan stadium, home of the
University's football activities,
is one of the finest examples of
gridiron architecture in the
country. The stadium, which
takes the place of the inadequate
Emerson stadium, was made pos
sible by the generous gift of Wil
liam Rand Kenan, Jr., in honor
of his mother and .father, the
late Mary Hargrave and William
Rand Kenan.
There is no other stadium in
the South which can vie with
Carolina's stadium in beauty of
architecture and natural sur
roundings. Grantland Rice,
famous sports writer, says that
"Kenan stadium is the prettiest
he has ever seen.
It is reached by numerous
foot paths which permit the
emptying of its full capacity,
24,000, in .the space of
five minutes. On each side, the
top of the stands is on a level
with the paths leading in, mak
ing it very easy to enter.
Cost $300,000
Mr. Kenan's original donation
was $300,000, but a little later
he added $28,000 for the con
struction of a field house and
other features. The field house
contains on one side complete
shower and locker facilities for
Tar Heel teams, and on the oth
er side like equipment for visit
ing players.
The stadium is of semi-bowl
construction, with immense cur
ving stands on each side. At the
top and center of each of the
stands, a large flagpole rises.
When a varsity game is played,
the Carolina flag floats on the
pole over the southern stands,
with the banner of the rival team
on the other pole.
. Boxes Constructed
Directly under each pole boxes
which are covered by awnings
have been constructed. The box
on the north side is reserved for
the Governor of the state and his
party, and the one on the south
side is equipped with tables and
seats for newspaper sports re
porters. The turtle-back design of the
playing field makes for easy
drainage and it is underlined
with tile at ten yard intervals.
The covering of grass makes the
field appear very smooth.
Wooden seats one foot in
width have been built on the con
crete tiers. The seats are made
of Douglas Fir shipped across
the continent from the state of
Washington, and they are held
up by Steele brackets. This ar
rangement eliminates the trouble
spectators have to find sufficient
foot room. '
Dedicated in 1927
Although the "housewarming"
game, in which Carolina defeat
ed Davidson, took place in the
stadium on November 12, 1927,
the stadium was not officially
dedicated until a few weeks la
ter at the annual Carolina-Virginia
Thanksgiving Day game.
With his gift, Mr. Kenan has
eliminated a long-felt need of
the school, and in addition, the
stadium contributes beauty to
the University's surroundings.
Roll Your Own
While the state legislature of
Pennsylvania and federal agents
are investigating it, the recent
increase in wholesale prices of
leading brands of cigarettes was
felt in Chapel Hill by returning
students as they were charged
sixteen cents for packages of
twenties by the majority of .local
tobacco sellers. ' . . .
This price is a one-cent ad
vance over the price standard
throughout the state and the at
tempt of local merchants to bull
the market has driven a number
to pipes and to "roll your owh's."
Buildings Renovated
for Opening Session
During the two weeks interval
between the end of summer
school and the opening of the
University for the fall term, P.
L. Burch, superintendent of
buildings, has had a group of
self-help students at work reno
vating the dormitories.
The hot-water pipes in five
dormitories, Steele, Mangum,
Manly, Ruff in, and Grimes, were
found to be clogged. The corro
sive action of the water on the
iron pipes had formed a sedi
ment which had blocked the pas
sage of water. Brass pipes are
being used to replace the old
iron pipes. .
The self-help students have
been at work in the dormitories
scrubbing floors and walls,
cleaning furniture, and washing
windows. Considerable repairs
have been made to beds, bureaus,
and chairs. In addition, some of
the mattresses have been re-cov-!
ered or made over.
Termites were discovered in
great numbers in lumber that
had been used for concrete forms
and had been left under the
buildings. This lumber has been
removed and burned. An air
pressure machine is now being
used to destroy the termites
where they have entered struc
tural parts of the buildings. A
mixture of creosote and kero
sene is used in the machine.
The most destructive attack
of the termites was found in the
library in the basement of the
law building. In the basement,
linoleum is laid over a concrete
floor that is, built upon the
ground. The- termites found
cracks in the floor and crept
through them and started to eat
away the' linoleum.
VILLAGE CHURCHES
PRESENT SOCIALS
Continuing its usual custom
each of the four local churches
entertained at informal socials
Friday night to welcome the new
students of the University.
At the Baptist church, Rev
erend Eugene Olive presided.
Several entertainments were
featured in the form of solos by
the choir, and games which were
participated in by the new stu
dents. Talks were made by T.
B. Campen, president of the Bap
tist Student Union, by W. G.
Privett, superintendent of the
Sunday School and by A. C.
Howell, student pastor.
Reverend C. E. Rozzelle with
Mrs. Rozzelle headed the receiv
ing line for the informal gath
ering tended the new Methodist
students which was given at the
church social rooms. Others in
this line included officials of the
church, Dr. L. R. Wilson, repre
senting the resident members,
welcomed the new members, and
was followed by the student pas
tor, Ralph Shoemaker, . who
made a similar v talk. Group
singing then followed as an en
tertainment. V
The Presbyterian church tend
ed a welcome social to its new
student members also Friday
night at the church. Reverend
W. D. Moss officiated; the stu
dent pastor made an address.

liam F. Draper, representing the
student vestry. Rev. A. S. Law
rence, rector, then spoke of the
church's past history and also

Since it's just come to light
that cannibals refuse the. flesh
of inveterate smokers, we can
keep all our .next campaign ci
gars to send to the missionaries.

REVISED Y STAFF
READY FOR WORK
Comer, Lanier, and Hamer
Head Association for Com
ing Year
. After one or two changes in
its personnel, the Y. M. C. A.
staff is now about to start the
year's program, with Ed Ham
er, freshman secretary, as the
only new addition.
The present staff now con
sists of H. F. Comer, general
secretary; Ed Lanier, self-help
secretary; and Ed Hamer, fresh
man secretary. The hired sten
ographer who was with the
association last year had to be
dropped because of the large
v.ll III - J- UUUg C L iUI IdiKS
year. Each of the three mem
bers of the present staff are able
to use the typewriter, and
since there will probably be
lun m worK during tnis year,
the board of directors thought
it advisable to make this change
in the staff.
Hamer New Employee
Under the present arrange
ment, Ed Hamer will take over
the Sophomore cabinet with
which he worked last year " as
freshmen, as well as handling
all of the self-help work. Be
sides having general supervision
over the entire program of the
local association, Comer will al
so spend much of his time with
the Junior-Senior cabinets as
he has done in the past , few
years.
Freshman Directory
For the benefit of those per
sons desiring to find addresses
of new men here, a special fresh
man directory was made up by
the Y.M.C.A. and was delivered
yesterday morning to each dor
mitory and fraternity house on
the campus. Several copies were
given to the Post Office and
Western Union and to those per
sons and organizations having
any special need for them.
The copies delivered to the
dormitories will be posted on the
bulletin boards in the different
buildings, fhose left at the fra
ternity houses will help the
members to acquaint themselves
with the class of 1935 besides
giving the addresses of the
freshmen. Another copy will be
placed in the lobby of the Y. M.
C. A. and will be left open for

Often said,
but NOT of
Parker Duofold
1
Don't make yourself unpopular by
borrowing students' pens. Unless the
pen is a Parker Duofold, your hand
is apt to foul the point, or change its
action. Don't expose yourself.
Stop at the nearest pen counter
and pick the Parker Duofold that
fits your hand to a "T." You'll be
prepared then for any emergency
even for lending gracefully.
For no style of writing can foul, or
alter Parker's miracle Duofold point.
Still it writes as easily as you breathe
with amazing Pressureless Touch!
And even the Parker Duofolds at
$5 have 22 to 69 more ink capac
ity than some pens of other makes
priced 50 higher. Yet none has
Parker's stylish, balanced, stream
lined design "America's Shape
liest" or Parker's Invisible Filler,
or Patented Clip that lets the pen
set low and unexposed in the pocket.
The only guarantee you'll need
for life is the name on the barrel
