Number Examined
Drops from 412
To 345 Students
Still spreading, the influenza wave
which hit the campus early this week
had 130 students confined to the in
firmary last night, 34 of whom had
to be moved to Smith building because
of cramped quarters in the regular
hospital.
University physicians and officials
warned against undue anxiety and
again emphasized that most of the
cases were light..
The total of 130 students is be
lieved to be the highest in the Uni
versity's history. In two days 'the
number of infirmary patients has
more than doubled.
Although the number of students
examined at the infirmary for flu
had dropped from 412 Wednesday to
345 yesterday there were no indica
tions that a definite break was in
sight.
Dr. W. R, Berryhill, head Univers
ity physician, warned students to
take care of themselves, told them to
get more rest than usual, dress warm
ly and to avoid congested areas.
Physical education classes have been
holding no serious exercise but stu
dents must report to their classes even
though they do not have to change
to gym clothes.
Despite prevalent rumors to the
contrary, there has'been no indication
that school will be suspended. Sev
eral cities throughout the state have
been forced to close their classrooms
coincident with the shutting down of
movies and churches.
Visitors are still prohibited from the
infirmary.
The following 130 students have
succumbed to Tar Heel propaganda
about an influenza epidemic: Eliza
beth Blair, Thomas Sullivan, Emett
Burden, Gordon Mace, John McRae,

Analysis of Budget Shows
Little Increase
By Bucky Harward
If the legislature accepts the recom
mendations of the state advisory budg
et commission, the total salaries paid
members of the Carolina faculty will
be increased only $36,427 in 1941-42.
At the University's hearing before
the commission back in November,
President Graham requested $1,445,
504 for total faculty salaries in com
parison with the $1,205,442 being paid
this year. ...
Seeking material recognition ior
the many Carolina professors who
had turned down offers of better-paid
positions at other universities, Gra
ham proposed salary increments and
promotions totalling $41,950 and new

Succeeds Sharpe
As Faculty Member
Professor Earl Hartsell of the Eng

editor of the Tar Heel and editor of
the first Buccaneer, has been appointr

Union board, Leonard Lobred, presi
dent of the board, announced yester
day. Dean R, B. House appointed Hart

expired January 1. Each of the two
faculty members are appointed for
two years and their terms are stag
gered so that a new man goes into
office at the beginning of each year.
Hartsell was an undergraduate at
Carolina when the PU board wasi
formed to control the four student

Religion Classes
Are Still Open
Classes in religion, sponsored by
the local Minister's association, are
still open for students who may reg

desire to attend.
The courses offered are: "Old Test

uel Sandmel Monday and Wednesday
at 4 o'clock in 109 Saunders; "Begin

Thursday at 4 o'clock, the Rev. A. S.

positions and replacements amounting
to $103,404.
When the commission's report on
the entire new state budget for 1941
43 was released Tuesday noon at a
joint session of the state legislature
by Governor Broughton, it was found
that only $36,427 had been recom
mended "to provide for promotions
and new positions."
Probably because the commission
thought the sale of more state bonds
inadvisable, the report also failed to
take cognizance of the $1,069,136 build
ing program requested for the Chapel
Hill unit by Graham.

Ike Grainger and Sis Clinard, co
chairmen of the Student-Faculty day
committee yesterday released thje
completed calendar of events for the
annual celebration which this year
will emphasize University growth and
achievement.
Nine recently appointed committees,
to handle the program, swung into ac
tion with the program's release, and
the February 5 celebration assumed
definite form.
With an emphasis on University
progress and advancement, the pro
gram was carefully outlined by the
co-chairmen, and the program will
contain features rarely emphasized in
the . six preceding Student-Faculty
days.
Governor Broughton May Preside
The coronation of the King and
Queen, possibly with, recently inaugu
rated Governor Broughton presiding,
will open the program at 10:30 in
the morning. Past celebrations have
held the coronations in the evening.
The change was introduced so that
the two "rulers" might actually "reign
for a day."
The coronation program will last
a half hour. At 11 o'clock the de
partmental exhibits will be opened.
All departments are planning displays
outlining its work. These exhibits
are an innovation, being featured
mainly to give the University's South
American visitors chance to observe
the school and its functions.
A skit has been planned tentatively
to follow the coronation. It will take
the place of last year's evening per
formance produced by Sound and
Fury. A Sound and Fury program
this year was out of the question since
that organization is preparing its re
vue later on in the month.
Faculty to Be Dinner Guests
The exhibits will remain open un
til 1 o'clock. Faculty, and administra
tion members will then be the dinner
guests of the fraternities, sororities,
and dormitories. Placing the dinner
guests will be carried on mainly by
Ferebee Taylor's dance committee with
the aid of the University club.
Exhibits will be opened aeain at
2:30 and will remain open until 4
o'clock. From 4 to 6, the fraternities,
sororities and dorms will hold open
house for faculty members. Arrange
ments for the visiting schedule of the
professors during this open house
period have not as yet been worked
out, but it is expected that during the
two hour period each professor will
have a chance to make at least four
visits.
Supper from' 6 to 7:30 o'clock will
give both students and faculty a
slight chance to rest up for the eve
ning activities.

AII music programs' planned for" the
