Work Rushed On Barracks Completion Date Set for March 10 The two brick barracks begun on Pittsboro Street ten days ago are scheduled for completion March 10 despite sub-freezing weather which has halted work for several days. If the buildings are not ready University authorities will 'pro? occupants, wno may oe young men sent to Meteorology school by the Army or students from dormitories taken over for other purposes. Work may have to be done at night under floodlights if bad weather holds up construc tion further. Open Interiors Just as in Army camps, the structure interiors will not be divided by partitions but will be left wide open and long rows of bunks placed in them. William Muirhead, the Dur ham contractor, is putting up the buildings under an agreement by which he pays for them and leases them to the University. According to the contracts drawn up, the University will lease the buildings for the dura tion of the war and will manage and sub-lease living quarters to students. Occupants will more than likely have to be in training in some branch of the intensified war program before rooms will be let. Noted Musician r To Give Recital This Afternoon F.

G. Garden for vice-presidency of senior class, while two recounts on other contests showed no change in party standings. .Turner polled 300 votes as the totals were announced for the first time, while his opponent ended up with 205. This gives the Student party five out of eight senior class posts as the returns are now complete. Live By Five In a recount on the presidency competition for the Senior class, Bob Burleigh's lead of 13 voes was slashed to five, but the UP man manged to come through with the victory. The first count gave Burleigh 262 to 249, while the recount showed 257 to Earl Pardue's 252. A second comparison of votes for the Sophomore class presi dency resulted in no change, the tally standing as before at 238 for SP's Dan Davis and 229 for Jack Fitch. Class Finals These returns complete the campus balloting for officers of the rising classes. The campus wide offices had their results on Friday, giving the UP a clean sweep in those posts. Final tabulations gave the UP sitions, seven out of eight Junior class slots, and five out of eight offices in he Sophomore class.

Richard Railey, chairman, asked that all members be present to discuss important business and for the election of three new members. arks Birthday of Oldest So By Kat Hill Tuesday, February 23, will hail the 50th anniversary of the Daily Tar Heel. Carolina's newspaper will have been pub lished for 50 consecutive years without missing an issue; 50 years of work and play, deadlines and features, newsstories and editorials, typographical errors and misspelled crossword puzzles copyreading and night editing. This year the Publications Board's favorite child will mark a year's growth without the show, speeches, supplement and other display usually ascribed to its birthday celebratioon. Due to war-time restrictions, the presses will roll off the regular four-page edition- with space on the front page donated to features aclaim ing the end of a half century of publication, and the beginning of another. Manafirinsr Editor Bob Hoke tried for weeks to secure extra paper allowances for a Tar Heel supplement, to get out standing speakers for a Tar Heel program, but was thwarted in both attemnts bv irovernment priorities." Rather than stage a second-rate observance, he de D T H M 1943 EditorUl: Y-ilU, New: rait 10 Problems of WLB President To Speak As Board Member In "Of f-The-Record" Talk Saturday By Sam Whitehall In his first scheduled talk before a campus audience since the opening convocation of the 1942-43 year in September, University President Frank P. Graham will speak to interested students, fac ulty and townspeople Saturday at 4:30 p. m. on 'The Problems of the War Labor Board." To be held in Gerrard hall, Dr. Graham's "off-the-record" talk ''v 'tf L DR. FRANK," University president, now a member of the WLB, will tell students some of the problems the board faces. Canned Goods Ration To Start Students To Get Books At Elementary School Students planning to register for the rationing of canned goods must do so at the elementary school on West Franklin street next week.

So the Tuesday morning edition of the Daily Tar Heel will be no bigger, no thicker than today's edition. Dubbed the . . best, brightest, newsiest college weekly in the South " by a Harvard profes sor in 1893, The Daily Tar Heel was first bathed in printer's ink as a college chronicle at the Uni versity by Charles Baskerville of New York City, and Pete Mur phy of Salisbury. The first Tar Heel was pub lished under the editorship of the Athletic Association. Sports pre dominated every page. Society news was a feature and it closely resembled that published in any small town weekly. Hottest lead of the day was found when a Car olina student went home for a weekend. Criticism, then as now, was mere routine for the reports of 50 years ago. Predecessor of the Carolina Mag and the Yackety Yack, the honor system, profes sors, classes, courses, South building officials were all subject to verbose but acid criticism and mud-slinging.

T-U1 NUMBER 107 f is being sponsored by the student government organizations and the Daily Tar Heel. Capitol Commuter A member of the War Labor Board since 1941, the University president has been commuting to Washington weekly, dividing his time between educational ad ministration and labor mediation. Recognized as one of the leading authorities on labor problems in the United States, he has twice been rumored for the post of Sec retary of Labor in Roosevelt's cabinet. Emphasis will be placed on the "Little Steel Formula" and the question of strikes and the war effort, Graham has indicated. Time will be given to open dis cussion and questions. Dr. Graham recently appeared as guest speaker on the nation wide radio broadcast "My Peo ple" which rendered observance of Lincoln's birthday and por trayed the part that the Negro race is playing in the war effort. Locally, the University presi dent has appeared on the public platform only in a secondary ca pacity. His memorable- address marking the opening of the 149th session in September was his last appearance as main speaker of any public program here. IRC Schedules Trade As Topic For Debate The much-debated question of free trade after the war will be the topic for the International Relation's club's regular weekly discussion period which is to take place tonight at 7 o'clock in the Grail room of Graham Memorial, it was announced yesterday by program chairman Paul Katten burg. Without Fanfare Editorial campaigns were waged bitterly and with no waste of words. In a 1893 drive for building improvements the edi tor railed: "This University is state prop erty and it is false economy to let the property go down for lack of repairs. ... Sanitary arrange ments are needed as badly as re pairs An infirmery for the care of the sick is indispensible where 320 men are congregated together." And in February, 1893, the Tar Heel started its first edito rial drive against muddy paths and for brick walks. The cam paign still goes on. From a weekly publication, the Tar Heel expanded and went to press twice a week, then thrice a week, and finally, daily. Tar Heel editors once set type by hand, in their own broken-down printing offices. Today three linotype operators turn out 4,000 copies overnight. Late news flashes come over the phone from United Press wires. Not the original number two but a hun dred students now make the Daily Tar Heel click. Discuss
