C. A. cabinets of 1926 to a week of significant social and political discussions by na tional authorites. The institute from March 28 through April 3 this year will be the fourth held on the campus, it wffl, thinks Mr. Comer, be the most successful of all. Biennial Although the original inten tion of the "Y" cabinets was to have institutes quadrennially, the last one was held only two years ago. More frequent institutes were suggested 1 by the committee which handled the program in 1935, for it felt that the increas ed tempo of current affairs de served study oftener than just once each college generation. Meetings At the first institute there were 20 mass meetings within a five-day period during which vis- iting speakers discussed social, economic,-international, pohti- cal, and interracial problems of the day. Four years later 1931 a to I.. .. tal of 25,000 attended tne six days of lectures. Interest in, and nrestiere of. the Human Rela- tions institute was growing. Tn 1935 32.000 attended the 21 mass meetings and 130 class seminars at which discussions were led by such institute speak ers as Representative Hamilton Fish, Dr. Everett Dean Martin, Norman Thomas, and George Soule, and the program was re ceived enthusiastically by stu dents and faculty members. .

Big Migration Stops In Adams,' Wilson Find Location of Birds Five Miles West of Chapel Hill . By Ben Dixon Accounts that la tremendous migration of robins had stopped in southeast Orange county led Dr. Raymond Adams and Mr. W. L. Wilson of the English depart ment to search for the location of these birds.

The News and Observer has estimated that there are from 75 to 100 million robins covering an area of 10 sauare miles starting a few miles west of here and ex- tending to the A1aTrmnP. boun- dary.

Of Robins Orange County - posted game wardens to protect the birds. According to Dr. Adams "the sky was black with robins." "The cherping, when you got in the woods, sounded like a down pour of rain on a lake, and the shrillness fairly deafens you. The whir of the wings of the birds coming in waves sounded like a nearby explosion. The birds were flying from tree to tree in swarms like bees, and the limbs were bent down from their weight." Dr. Adams further remarked that "the robins were very in considerate in not settling near the concrete highway but about ja mile up a dirt road." Several .1 carloads have been out from Chapel Hill to see the birds. A similar incident occurred about five years ago near Ashe- boro. Robins are protected by the federal government by the fact that thev fly across state boundaries.
