On defeating the proposal, Orange -county failed to join the roll of 27 counties now having these, stores. Durham county remains the westernmost North Carolina county with approved stores. r The town of Chapel Hill, how ever, voted for setting up the control system 576 to 272, being one of the four precincts to ap prove the proposal. Heavy ma jorities from rural districts and Hillsboro, the county's largest town, helped defeat the measure. Church Denounced Proposal The entire county was aroused by pro and con forces before the vote was taken. Preachers and church leaders denounced the proposal in sermons at regular services in addition to holding special meetings and rallies for the purpose of urging voters to defeat the measure. Establishment of legal liquor stores would not have benefited University students, however, for an ancient state law forbids the selling of liquor specifically in Chapel Hill. Bob Magill, the farm boy from Shanghai, and president of last year's student body, returned to the Hill this week from the dunes of South Carolina where he collected 473 chiggers and I some tall stories about deer hunting, to take up his duties as director of Graham Memorial. Putting on an imitation of the boy friend of a whirling dervish, Magill, between hurried confer ences with carpenters, painters, locksmiths, etc., sketched briefly his plans for the union for the coming year. Building Repainted During the past month the building has been completely re painted and repaired, and all its facilities, including the game rooms and Grill, are now in full operation. The first ofiicial function of the student union, following a week of freshman entertain ment, will be the dance spon sored for the new coeds tonight with the music of Freddie John son's orchestra. First Entertainment Regular Sunday afternoon en tertainment features will begin Sunday, September 25, when Miss Jean Westbrook, violinist of the Peabody Institute of Bal timore will present a concert of classical selections. From time to time Magill will present eve nine entertainments featuring campus talent. Although no definite date has been set, first of these enter tainments will probably be sn amateur night for which the Big Three of campus entertainment for the past several years, Pete Ivey, Bob du Four, and Stuart Rabb, have promised to return with another group of skits and stunts worked out during the summer. Magill's main departure from past years' plans will be the shift of responsibility of the programs from union director to students, who Will arrange and present programs themselves. Hours for game rooms and bowling alleys will remain the same as for last year; from 12 o'clock in the afternoon to 10 o'clock in the evening on week days, and from 10 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock at night on Saturdays and holidays. Interior Of Present Structure Is Gutted By Flames The home of the Carolina Playmakers and birthplace of native American drama was al most totally demolished by fire August 13, leaving the dramatic arts department without a thea tre and laboratory. After some 13 years work, Dr. Frederick H. Koch finds his or ganization back in the same building, the Chapel Hill high school auditorium, where it be gan. Memorial Hall will also be used as temporary headquarters. Dr. Koch stated that they would meet the emergency as best they could with plans at present indefinite. There will be. a lull season, he said, in spite of the handicap. Walls Saved The Playmaker theatre was discovered in flames late one Sat urday afternoon by Paul Quinn, electrician for the group? De spite frantic efforts of the local fire department and volunteer summer school students, the swiftly rising fire swept through the interior leaving only a char red mass of wreckage between the solid walls which were saved. The 90-year-old structure, one of the most architectually perfect buildings on the campus, was gutted in the short period of 30 minutes. It is believed that the fire ori ginated in a short circuit in the switchboard. Most extensive damages occurred in the rear of the theatre where the stage, scenery, and lighting features, were completely destroyed. As sistant Comptroller Rogerson (Continued on Page Sixteen) Entire Engineer School Moved To State College Procedure Of Consolidation, Begun Three Years Ago, Now Completed Final consolidation of the Uni versity school of engineering with that of State college at Ral eigh, a procedure that required nearly three years, was made last month following the gra duation of the class of 1938, and the transfer of the school equip ment to Raleigh. When the consolidation was begun three years ago, it was de cided to carry through the class of 1938, sophomores at that time, but to admit no more freshmen to engineering courses. Now only a few engineering stu dents remain at Chapel Hill. They, however, lack only courses regularly given in the Univer sity for graduation. Most Equipment Moved All equipment from the Mech anical engineering and the elec trical engineering schools have been transferred to State college, but that of the civil engineering school has been retained here for service courses for science stu dents in the mathematics depart ment. Space vacated by the engineers here will be occupied by the mathematics, and physics de partments and the Department of Public Health. Professors transf erred to State college engineering school previous to this year were Smith, (Continued on Page Eleven) . if pp n)
