Acting on the advice ojf Professor M. S. Breckenridge, the Board
of Trustees of the University of North Carolina last night in a
special executive session formally decreed that the Chapel Hill
Unit be immediately transformed into a cotton mill. Provision
was made on the suggestion of Governor Clyde Hoey9 acting as
chairman, that the library building be made over into a broad
casting station and that the Federal Communications commission
be petitioned for permission to construct a 5,000,000,000 watt
transmitter. This transmitter would be the most powerful artifi
cial station in the world, exceeded only by the vocal talents of
Senator Robert Rice Reynolds. The station is to be designated
H-O-E-Y.
Cheap Labor 4
The trustees agreed with Pro
fessor Breckenridge that Chapel
Hill was admirably fitted to bo
a cotton mill town. "Immense
quantities of cheap labor are
available here," said Ex-Governor
O. Max Gardner, "which will
enable us to undersell the world
market, to destroy the rayon in
dustry, and to bankrupt Japan."

Ivey Explains
A. Guy Ivey, director of Gra
ham Memorial, suggested in an
exclusive interview granted to a
Daily Tar Heel staff reporter,
that there should be a closer and
more intimate cooperation be
tween the heads of the three
units. "Today we have a Great
er University in which three in
stitutions are combined under
one head, why can't these three
titles be combined into one and
then there would be no conflict."
"This situation would never
have arisen if we had had the
legislative form of student
government," commented Dr.
"Woodrow .Wilson" Booker as
he prepared another manuscript
in letter form for the editor. .
