New Price Rise
Final plans called for the discontin
uation of the special dinners and an
increase of food prices, in direct per
centage ratio to the rise in wholesale
foodstuffs.
Lowest Possible Price
"Every penny made from the dining
hall is treated as revenue so that stu
dents pay less for tuition," said L. B
Rogerson, University controller. "We
try to offer the best quality foods at
the lowest possible prices, but not at
such a level so as to drive other com
petitors out of business. This is ac
complished by serving only good sta
ple foods and leaving the fancier
menus to other local establishments
Built on a $273,000 WPA grant, the
cafeteria must pay back a debt service
of $1,000 monthly in order to pay off
the bonds and interest. There is no
subsidizing fund available if a loss is
suffered and so the cafeteria must be
managed on a self paying basis.
Theatre Men Donate

Final plans for the presentation of
"Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" have been
completed, according to the latest re
ports from student officials and E.

"All theatre personnel, including

donate their time to the campaign,"
Smith announced yesterday.
The show will begin tomorrow night
at 11:15. Admisison will be 33 cents
"Students should turn out for this
climax to the fund-raising drive with
no hangers-back," said Charles Nice,
co-chairman of the committee. "With
the hours extension, no coed has an
excuse for staying away," he added.

Sophs Adopt
Constitution
At Meeting
Committee Approves
Class Celebration
In Spring Quarter
By Westy Fenhagen
In a move unprecedented in class
history, members of the finance and
executive committees of the sophomore
class meeting with class president Dot-
son Palmer voted to adopt a class con
stitution and at the same time to es
tablish a "sophomore day" to be held
sometime during the spring quarter.
Speaking of the new constitution,
first to be made in many years of class
history, Palmer stated that its purpose I
would be to make the class "function
more systematically and to give officers
and committeemen specified duties to
be carried out during the course of the
year."
A committee of six including Ernest
Frankel, Wiley Long, Dewey Dorsett, I
Arthur Williams, Soney Boney, and
Marvin Rosen has been appointed to
draw up the formal constitution. -
Plans for "sophomore day," another
idea new to the campus, include tenta
tive arrangements for freshman-sophomore
athletic events, and some form
of novel entertainment for the evening.
In addition, the entire sophomore class
will adorn itself with some form of
M T A 1 SI
wearing apparel to aisunguisn us
members from the rest of the student
body. "Sophomore day" will be held
sometime during the spring quarter,
but is not to be confused with the soph
omore dance which will be held on a
different date.

before the students.

P. Graham will address the student
body at a special convocation in Me
morial hall at 10:30.

out interruptions. The Honor Code is
the most cherished of all things at
Chapel Hill."

The NYA student aid drive
was rapidly approaching the $5,
000 mark last night, it was learn
ed, but student contributions had
bogged down noticeably in the
second day of the drive, while
campus organizations responded
with increasing vigor.
Tabulators checking pledge cards
admitted that results were incom
plete, but pointed out that of the total
fund, $4,673, either approved or wait
ing approval, $1,873 represented stu
dent donations, and only 700 of the
University's enrollment of 4,000 stu
dents had signed cards.
Individual contributions reached a
new high when George Levy donated
$250 to the fund yesterday morning.
The senior class executive commit
tee, meeting in special session yester
day afternoon with president Bill Mc-
Kinnon, voted to appropriate $200, but
explained that such a budget change'
would necessitate class approval. Mc
Kinnon will distribute approval slips
to- class members- this morning at
10:30 in Gerrard hall.
Student pledge 'cards "for" yesterday
alone, showed a total of $913 had
gone into the fund. Increased student
support was deemed "imperative," if
the $8,300 deficit is to be made up in
time to prevent the dropping of NYA
students from the lists.
Funds and pledge cards are being
deposited with E. S. Lanier, self-help
director, it was disclosed. A special

University Symphony
Opens Concert Season
With Program Sunday
By Morton Cantor
The progress made by Chapel Hill
in the musical world will be exhibit
ed when the campus musical land
mark, the University Symphony Or
chestra, conducted by Dr. Benjamin F.
Swalin, gives its initial concert of the
year on Sunday 'evening at 8:30 in
Hill Music Hall.
A far cry indeed from the, small mu
sical groups at the University when
Charles T. Woollen, a past controller,
came here in 1905. and began foster
ing musical interest, among students
and townspeople. A violinist and clari
netist himself, Woollen started small
musical groups which eventually grew
into the present orchestra and band.
1920 saw the establishment of a
Music Department at the University,
largely through the influence of Wool
len. For some time it occupied several
rooms in Old East Dormitory and was
not moved into Hill Hall, which was
then the old library, until ten years
later.

type and another is a strictly com
