Students Requested
To Stop Smoking
In Memorial Hall
The cooperation of the University
student body in refraining from smok

stop because a law of the State of
North Carolina makes smoking in such
a place as Memorial hall illegal. "The
reasons for this law can be plainly
seen and it is just plain common
sense," Hobbs reported.
Hobbs said that an orderly retreat
