T ) Rogerson Draws Up Concession System For Dormitory L Steps were begun yesterday to set up a system to supply residents of L dormitory with refreshments and school supplies. The system was recommended to Assistant Controller L. B. Rogerson by. the Student Ad visory committee last week. The committee was informed of the acceptance of its recommendation Monday. PETITION Attention to the need of a source of refreshments in the new med students dormitory was brought to the advisory group .by a petition, signed by the residents asking -that the owner of a nearby store be, allowed to canvass the dorm to sell refreshments. The store was set up tq supply the workers of the Carolina Inn annex and is only a temporary arrangement in "accord ance with an -agreement" made with the University. ; Because, of the many students in the University needing self -help, he com mittee felt that the opportunity of operating a dormitory store should be given to one of these .rather than- to someone outside the school. However, they believed that-a store would pre sent a source of noise not now in existence. .T THE ONLY COLLEGE DAILY IN THE SOUTHEAST- CHAPEL HILL, N. C WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1939 4."

"The system works all right at Duke, and I'm in favor of it because it would mean that the mail would be put up more quickly," said Herbert McNairy. Phil Ellis explained that a central postoffice would keep the same hours as the one downtown and that the students probably would use it during chapel period. Of 30 votes cast, 22 were in favor of the 'motion, "Resolved: .

Music Of Beethoven, Brahms And Wagner Will Be Presented Duplicating the program given last Sunday in Greensboro at Bennett col lege and Palmer Memorial institute in Sedalia, the University symphony orchestra will give its first campus con cert this year tonight at 8:30 in Hill Music hall. . The program will be: Overture to the Ballet "Prometheus" Op. 43, Beethoven; Symphony No. 11 in D major Op. 73, Allegretto grazioso Presto-ma no, Non Asisa, Allegro con spirito,. Brahms; Eine kleine Nacht musik K 525, Romanze, Andante, Menuetto, Allegretto, Rondo, Allegro, Mozart; and Siegfried's Rhine Jour ney, Wagner. ANALOGIES , There are interesting analogies be tween the composers incluuded in the program. Brahm's music shows ar rested development when compared to that of the other composers. Wag ner has more originality than Bee thoven, although the former is con sidered the spiritual son of Beethoven. Wagner liked Beethoven and said, "The characteristic of the great com positions of Beethoven is that they are veritable poems, in which it is sought to bring a real subject to represen tation." Wagner's 'Siegfried' possesses. fwery virtue but that of self-explanatory continuity. Years of musical activity have gone toward making the present orchestra. The late University Controller, Charles T. Woollen, was one of the first Chapel Hill residents to organize local musicians and from the,time he came here in 1905 he fostered musical in terest among students and townspeople. He eventually formed an orchestra and "band which furnished incidental music for pageants and plays, but it was not until the early twenties that indepedent programs were presented. DEPARTMENT ESTABLISHED Largely through the influence of Mr, Woollen the University established a music department. yCarl Wiegand, a law student, and Fred Hard, now a professor of English at Tulane University, once were di rectors of the. combined band and orchestra. By 1924 the orchestra in- creased its size to 24. Hal Kemp was just another clari-i net player and Professor Fred . B. McCall belonged to the orchestra when it made its tremendous hit playing "Song of India" between acts at a Carolina Playmaker's production. Under its present organization the orchestra has been successively un der the direction of Professor Smith McCorkle, now of Southern Methodist university in Texas; . Harold Dyer, Professor Earl A. Slocum, now director of the University band and Dr. Swalin, present director. The 50-piece orchestra, composed of students, faculty and townspeople, is constantly in demand for concerts in and around Chapel Hill and other sec tions of the state. Mrs. Fannie Archer Dies In Charleston Mrs. Fannie. G. Archer, for whom the University faculty club was named, died early yesterday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Millie A. Ravenel, in Charleston, S. C. For many . years she ran a board ing house in the house now used for the faculty club and the name ''Archer house" is still applied to the build ing. Funeral services will probably be held in Chapel Hill Thursday. NUMBER 59 HISTORICAL PLAY IMTURES EVENIS m FAYETTEVILLE 150th Anniversary Of Chartering Is Commemorated FAYETTEVILLE, Nov. 21. Fay etteville, celebrating the 200th year of the landing of the Scotch in the Cape Fear section of North Carolina and its own centennial, took time off today to honor the 150th anniversary of the chartering of the University of North Carolina and watch a fresh man football game between Duke and the Tar Babies. Highlight of the day was a his torical drama directed by John Par ker, extension director of the Play makers, telling of the ratification of the federal constitution by North Carolina in Fayetteville in 1789 and of the provisions made then for the founding of a state university. The pageant featured Governor Clyde R. Hoey, Federal Judge Isaac Meekins, Dean R. B. House of the University and Dr. Archibald Henderson of the math department among others. HOEY AS FIRST GOVERNOR Governor Hoey portrayed the first governor of the state and others took the parts of men prominent in its early history. The first scene was laid in Hillsboro, in 1788, telling of the first debate over the federal con stitution and the adjourning of busi ness until next year when the con vention broke over the question of the Bill of Rights. The Fayetteville convention passed the constitution with a Bill of Rights. Land was seceeded in the west to the federal government and the state of Transylvania (Tennessee) founded. And the provisions were made for the founding of the University. President Frank P. Graham spoke (Continued on page U. column 6) ORGANIZER LEAVES LOCAL DIES GROUP Nickson And Lasker Elected To Offices Bill .
