Is s- GVTHERING CALLED TO GET STUDENT OPINION Vacation Beginning April 15 And Lasting Through April 23 Is Plan Favored. With only one dissenting bal lot cast, the Union Forum, at a meeting called in Graham Me morial by Haywood Weeks, president of the student body, last night voted overwhelmingly in favor of a nine-day spring vacation beginning Saturday, April 15, and extending through Sunday, April 23. The meeting was called for Plans For Mangum Contest Under Way Plans are being made to award the Mangum medal for oratory this year as usual to the senior who delivers at com mencement the oration adjudged best. Seniors interested in com petiting should see Professor G. F. McKie of the English depart ment for details of the contest.

Explains Plans President Weeks opened the meeting with an explanation of the three proposed plans for holidays and of how a vacation at the present time would affect the snrinsr snorts program. He said that a vacation would mean that the University athletic as sociation, -would have to pay the expense of keeping the baseball, tennis, golf and track squads iere during that period. The nine-day holiday as pro posed would interfere with fif teen athletic events while the ex tended week-end from the Fri day before Easter through the CONTINUANCE OF BATTLE AGAINST SLASHES URGED Campaign Shows Good Effect, But University Still Has Hard Fight Ahead. HOBBS ANNOUNCES NEW REGULATIONS Rules for Re-Admission Require Student to Pass Two Courses Preceding Quarter. A complete announcement of the change in re-admission re quirements in the University for next year was issued yes terday by Dean A. W. Hobbs of the school of liberal arts. The new rules will affect all Univer sity students.

According to opinions express ed yesterday, the student move ment started last Saturday by the student council, executives of the classes, and the interfra- ternity and dormitory councils, has "had a good effect on the legislature." Hard Fight Ahead Yet, it was pointed out yes terday, the University still has a hard fight on the legislative floor to gain anywhere near the appropriations impartial observ ers think it should have for ade quate operation. I Student leaders also express ed pride yesterday in the quick mobilization of the student body when it appeared that the Bowie-Cherry substitute propos al to reduce the biennial appro priations for the University to $330,000, a 64 per cent cut from the peak figure in 1929, and other state educational and charitable institutions corre spondingly, would be forced through the house in toto. For the past three days stu dents have been sending peti tions, letters, and telegrams to parents, friends, and legislators to enlist their support in the de- COMMITTEE NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN McNAIRSPEAKER Dr. H.

The Playmakers have built here on their own campus a tradition of the drama to be found nowhere else in the world unless it be in the work of the Irish Players from the Abbey theatre.

College in Baltimore last Friday. Dr. Eric Alonzo Abernethy, former head of the University infirmary, died last night at his home on Columbia street from a self-inflicted pistol wound which proved instantly fatal. A little before 7:00 o'clock last night, Dr. Abernethy sent Mrs. Abernethy from his room, asking her to bring him a cup of coffee and in her absence, shot himself through the mouth with a pistol. He left no message of any kind in explanation of his action. Suffering from ill health for several years, the result of a bul let wound he received in the war, Dr. Abernethy had under gone several major operations and last fall spent several weeks in a New York hospital and at the Walter Reed hospital at Washington where he again un derwent operations and treat ment. He has been in a particu larly bad state of health during the past week. Life Devoted to University Dr. Abernethy's life was al most entirely devoted to service to the University. Graduated in 1899, he attended medical schools at the University of Vir ginia and Columbia University. After practicing medicine in Washington for a year, Dr. Ab ernethy returned to Chapel Hill and set up a private practice in 1904. (Continued on page two) MUSEUM MAY BE INSTALLED HERE Group Works on Plan Putting Natural History Exhibits In One Building. Plans for establishing a mu seum of natural history on the University campus were consid ered at a special meeting of Uni versity faculty members and stu dents interested in the project in Graham Memorial yesterday afternoon. The project started by the group will include placing such objects dealing with natural his tory already on the campus into one building and the building up of other collections. Subsequent ly other collections would be so licited and placed on display at the University. A number of these collections, such as stuffed animals and ar row heads, are contained in dif ferent buildings in the Univer sity, but no successful effort has ever been made to combine them. Committee Appointed A committee was appointed yesterday by Haywood Weeks, temporary chairman of the group, to attempt to make ar rangements with University au thorities to get a place to collect present exhibits and put them on display. This committee is composed of Dr. W. C. Coker, Dr. J. B. Bul litt, Dr. W. F. Prouty, Francis Anderson, Mayne Albright, W. I. Gervis, and Weeks. (Continued on page three)
