NEGRO CENTER
FOR CHAPEL HILL
Project To Provide
.Social, Athletic,
Dramatic Facilities
A Community center, which will in
clude a day nursery for small chil

zens for the Negro residents of Chapel
HUL ".: ' c- ' i
Planned to be situatedat Jthe old
Craig place" on West Rosemary lane,
in the center of the Negro section, the
project will be similar to those car
ried out at Greensboro, Rocky Mount
and Raleigh. '
The center will embrace five acres
and will provide facilities for recrea
tion for the Negroes. Such places have
proven valuable aids toward Jncreas
ing self-respect.
TRUSTEES
The plot of land was obtained by
Chapel Hill men interested in improv
ng the status ofNegroes. They signed
a note of $1,500 to the Bank of Chapel
Hill in gettiiig the plot: Those sign
ing .were: W. C. Coker, R. J. M; Hobbs,
R. B. House, M. S..Breckenridge, D D. ;
Carroll, Louis Graves, A. W. Hobbs,
Paul Wager, R. M. Grumman and Lee
M. Brooks. They are acting as trustees

a game room in the basement.
APPROVAL
Chief W, T. Sloan has ' expressed
hearty.apprVaT -lays
he believes the project will aid in re
duction of law violations. "Let's give
them a chance to get off the ctreets.
It's better to give them encouragement
to be decent, law-abiding, than it is
to have to chase' them down, haul them
into court, and punish them with fines
and road , sentences."

German Club
Defeated, 21-7
The Phrasembly will give a formal
dance November 10, it was decided last
night at the meeting.
A motion was passed 19 to 10 that
the Phi challenge the Di to a debate,

The motion: "Resolved: That the
Phi assembly favor the establishment
of an organization composed of mem
bers from the Interfraternity coun
cil and the Interdormitory council in
equal proportions which will assume
the duties of the German club," was de
feated by a vote of 21 to 7.
Eleven new members were initiated

German club bill. Representative Sloan
