Madry ' (University News Bureau) New Memorial hall, the Uni versity's auditorium, which was completed last spring, is to be formally dedicated at exercises to be held Monday morning, October 12, at 10:30 o'clock in connection with the University's celebration of its 138th birth day. Representing the state, Gov ernor O. Max Gardner is to de liver the address of presenta tion. . Acceptance will be made by John Sprunt Hill, of Dur ham, chairman of the . building committee of the board of trus tees. The other speaker will be Stahle Linn, of Salisbury, chair man of the committee on the memorial tablets which adorn the walls of the building. The new building, which is on the same site, takes the' place of Old Memorial hall which was torn down in the spring of 1930 after thorough investigations by competent building experts had convinced the trustees that the structure .was unsafe and that it would be a hopeless tack to attempt to repair it. Two of the wooden arch supports, which formed tbe chief support of the building, were found to have rotted, causing a bulging that surely would have led to disas ter had the building not been demolished. Classic In Design , The new building, which was erected at a cost of $182,000, oi which $150,000 was authorized by Governor Gardner from an emergency fund; is rectangular in shape. In length it is 157 feet and in width 104 feet. It is of brick construction. '. Classic in design, the building harmonizes with the old ante bellum buildings on the campus Old East, Old West, Gerrard, (Continued on last page : : - , - , . z TO DEDICATE NEW MEMORIAL HALL . . .7 tw.V.V.V.X.!

Professor F. H. Koch will read Shakespeare's comedy, A Mid summer Night's Dream, and Mendelssohn's music, later writ ten for the drama, will be played. Once each month, during the year; a play will be read on a Sunday evening. For some years, it has been a tradition that Prof essor Koch should read a Shakespearian drama for the first play of the year. Professor Koch 'hopes that Paul Green will be in Chapel Hill to give his play, The House of Connelly, now running in New York, at the Martin Beck theatre. It is planned that num erous playwrights and authors will read their own plays, dur ing the year. Except for the Shakespearian drama, the plays are all by authors of the present day. The public is invited to the readings. House Of Connelly Is Financial Success According to reports from New York, Paul Green's The House of Connelly is something more than an artistic triumph. In a season which has been no tably poor in money-making plays it has established itself a a financial success. Variety, the New York theatrical journal, announces its receipts for last week as $13,000, second only to Grand Hotel. The magazine further states that The House of Connelly should enjoy at least a moderate .' run, with a strong possibility of its being one of the leading attractions throughout the season. -.

Excel Roz zelle if they can get the Presid ing Elder, the Bishop and the Conference to see things their way. The Conference appointments come up for consideration with in a month, and these sessions always bring about a number oi snnts among xne ministers.
