Norman Thomas, for the sec

Sunday concerning the results of
the Daily Tar Heel's campus

can say," he stated to a Daily
Tar Heel reporter, "except that
I am gratified in the interest and
appreciation which the Univer
sity of North Carolina and the
people of the state have accord
ed me."'

Hungry ? With , eighty-four
different eating places in Chap
el Hill? Eie:htv-f our' establish
ments, where from one to six
hundred students are served at
each meal, provide a means of
diet variation guaranteed to sat
isfy the most exacting epicures.
This number includes boarding
houses, cafeterias, restaurants,
fraternity house dining rooms,
sandwich shops, and the two
University dining rooms, Swain
hall and Spencer hall.
This information is the result
of a survey recently completed
by the Daily Tar Heel. In the
course of the investigation, ev
ery house in Chapel Hill was
canvassed as a possible food dis
pensary. Although no official
figures are available, it is evi
dent from the study that the
number of boarding houses
shows a tremendous increase
over last year.
Many Students Employed
In these eighty-four establish
ments, catering to the needs of
2886 students and guests, ninety
student managers are employed.
In addition to these, employment
is iurmshed lyo students as
waiters, dishwashers, sweepers,
and the like.
The average charge for two
meals per day is $20.60 per
month. Check-put systems
range from a straight check-out
with a refund for all meals miss
ed, down through a check-out at
half -rate to no check-out at all.
The .survey disclosed a num
ber of interesting facts concern
ing the eating habits of the stu
dent body. Almost twenty-five
per cent of the students here eat
only two meals per day. That is,
today, there are more than 600
students who habitually miss one
meal each day ; and that meal is
almost without exception, break
fast. Economic and social rea
sons have been advanced in ex
planation of this situation. It is
probably true, however, tha
most of the students in this
group, particularly those with
classes beginning, at 9:30, have
a preference for sleep instead of
oatmeal.
On the other hand, the man
ager of one boarding house stat
ed that most students missed
the morning meal in order to ef
fect a saving that enables them
to go to the movies more often or
to buy an extra pack of cigar
ettes during the week. Another
owner threatened to go out of
business because his clients who'
missed breakfast so often ate so
much at the other two meals that
tie was being forced into bank
ruptcy. The large scale con-
The building which houses the
Young Men's Christian Associa
tion at Carolina stands as a
monument to the generosity of
University students. Inspired
by Dr. Francis P. Venable,
whose great ambition was to es
tablish permanently upon the
campus a Christian order, young
men of the school themselves
furnished over half the money
required for a building., Dr.
Venable, who was president of
the University at the time, is
largely responsible for the ten
year campaign for funds which
culminated in construction of the
present building in 1904.
Building Needed
Need of a building was keenly
felt. For almost twenty years
after founding of the local Y. M.
C A., the organization laced a
housing problem. It met. 'in

hall and used as a gymnasium
until converted into a dining

Playmaker Presentation Will
Have Many Different Scenes
On February 24, 1893, the
ramnaiern for a building to
house the organization was be
gun. In less than twenty-four
hours $2,500 was raised from a
student body of no more than
800 boys. By commencement,
three months later, $6,000 had
been pledged mainly by students.
On June 13, 1893, a state cam
paign was begun, initiated by a
special number of the Tar Heel
devoted to Y. M. C. A. work and
especially to the needs of the or
ganization. Canvasses were
made throughout North Caro
lina, and student "Y" cabinets
continued to contribute to the
building fund. A goal of $12,
000 was set, and it was planned
that no work should begin until
the entire amount was collected.
After a struggle of ten years,
the hopes of Dr. Venable and his
associates were realized. The
building was completed in 1904
at a cost of $12,000. The cam
paign was brought to an end by
a committee led by Dr. Venable
and composed of Professor J. W.
Gore, Thomas Kenan and R. M.
Harper, who was director of the
Y. M. C. A. in 1903-04. Names
of the committeemen appear on
the cornerstone of the building,
