I Over CHAPEL HILL, N. 0, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1937 BuiVs Head Sign Is Found Missing Disappearance of Famous Bull Rivals Beacham Photo Theft The disappearance of anoth er campus figure, equalling that oi trie now-famous photograph of Miss Hazel Beacham last year, was made known to the campus at large yesterday. This time, it is the Sign of the Bull's Head that is missing. " j Upon arriving at the Bull's i Head book shop yesterday morn ing, Miss Nellie Roberson and her extension library assistants found their shop without its sign. Mr. Horner in the Ene-lish department had constructed the benign visage of the bull ten years ago and Jt had been used ever since, both in the old " Y" shop and after its removal into the ground floor of the Univer sity library. According to Miss Roberson, unless the old sign is returned, the shop will have to resort to a printed letter sign instead of the traditional Bull's Head. Dean Carroll Speaks D. D.

Hobbs Says Early Classes Would Allow Ho Classes Would Begin at 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, With Chapel Tuesday, Thursday Dean A. W. Hobbs said yes terday that he is chiefly concern ed with providing sufficient chapel hours in the recommen dations of a change to 8 a. m. classes that he will make to the faculty at its next meeting. Under the plan classes would begin at 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 in the morning. Assemblies would be from 10 to 11 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturday Classes Saturday noon classes would be eliminated by being moved up until 10 a. m. The only classes at 10 a. m. would be Mondav-Wftdnesdav- Friday three-hour classes. Five land six hour classes would be im possible because of bi-weekly chapel at that hour. Visitors The dean believes that hour- long assembly periods each week would make possible desirable mass meetings of the student body, and insure sufficient time for talks by prominent visitors. He said yesterday, however, that his recommendations would not be practical in case of re storation of the five-hour basis of classes, and that they should not be considered until Dr. W. M. Dey's pending plan is settled. Dean Hobbs admits that many professors and students would object to. earlier classes, but he feels that soon after such rec ommendations as his are adopt ed there will be general satisfac tion.
