Houses May Be Put in Woods Close to Campus Tract on Mason Farm Road Not Far from Pittsboro Highway Now under Consideration A tract of about 25 acres of University land out beyond the the Mason Farm road, is being considered as a site for the 150 houses which the Government has agreed to provide for the G.I. students here and their wives. Engineers are now engaged in making a map of the tract for tne university oniciais ana tne Dunamgs , ana grounas commit- tee members wno are studying AT 1,1 If this place were chosen, the nearest House to town, m tne colony, would probably be about a nunarea yaras irom wnere tne the Pittsboro highway, opposite vincrvn narm man ihhmu nTT tttitti tne Udum nome. Most ot tne houses would be south of the road (to the right as you leave the highway), but some might be north of it. , The Government official who has to pass upon the suitability of the site, and then close the contract with the University, was , scheduled , to arrive in Chapel Hill Monday but had not mond L. Barringer of Charlotte, turned up yesterday. He may listed among other entries $1. have arrived by the time these 50 for "making pants", $2.25 for lines appear in print. ; The tract on the Mason Farm road under consideration is wooded, but not thickly. And most of the trees : on it are small. Most important of its merits is that it is close to the campus. Students living there-would be only a few minutes' walk from xneir . il. . . it mi. . x. i f ii advantage of being close to existing water lines'and electric wire lines.

Rufus Barringer, iater a Confederate general, carefully entered in a small note- book the record of his expenses for a four-year course at the University between 1838 and 1842. The total was $1,07,5, which is less than most students spend in a single year now. The note book, lent to the . historical col lection by Barringer's son, Os one pair of pumps, 10 cents "paid for liquor (sick)", and, later, 25 cents "Paid for liquor" with out explanation. In 1859," just before the war, prices in the South were still low, according to the Pdlk-Yeat man Collection, a gift of Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Yeatman and Miss Jennie Yeatman of Colum hlA. TpTlTl A lor? (TAT L-nmf rrl Va I ' .v Aahwood Farm in Maury Coun ty, Tenn., recorded the price of bac5n as 10 cents a pound, ham 11 cents, beef four cents, and pork five and one-half cents, and meal 75 cents a bushel. However, corn had risen to two 'dollars a bushel. Then came the war, and the result is shown in a table com piled by Dr. Hamilton from an open market price list at Ral eigh on March 27, 1865. Bacon was $7.50 a pound, beef $3 a-pound, corn $30 a bushel, meal $30 a bushel, coffee $40 a pound, eggs $5 a dozen, fowls $6 each, irish potatoes $30 a bushel, sweet potatoes - $35 a bushel, lard $7.50 a pound, mo lasses $25 a gallon, wheat $50 a bushel, flour $500 a barrel, pork $5.50 a pound, sugar $30 a pound, and brandy or whiskey $100 a gallon. Price Control There was an attempt at price control then; too. The legisla ture enacted laws against specu lationthat dav's name for black market operations but they were "utterly futile" and prices stayed up, according to Dr. Hamilton. There is no doubt that control was needed, because, according to an' entry in the Polk-Yeatman ledger in 1866, the pay for a day's labor was $1.50, only $1 more than it had been 30 years before.

JOHN V. 0 -' Sound and Fury President Appraises Carolina Coeds Bv Posev Emerson S Gal, if you're free, white, over sixteen and on the Carolina campus, without a doubt you have been appraised by Pokey Alexander from a purely pro fessional standpoint, naturally. William M. Alexander, alias Pokey, president of the Sound and Fury Club, has an eye for talent and a mind for producing good shows. A Chapel Hill boy, Pokey just returned in November from three years in the armv air - corps to resume the struggle for a degree. His major is Dra matics, radio in particular. In spite of his twenty-five years of riotous living, Pokey has managed to maintain an ex tremely innocent look that makes him look about twenty. Medium height, brown hair, and green ish eyes that many a coed has been heard to admire (he won't commit himself as to whether or not there is one specific admirer of those eyes), Pokey has been working at the Carolina Inn. Said Pokey "My father's tired of supporting me and the gov ernment just isn't generous enough, so what can I do but work for a living?" A Chi Phi, Pokey was very busy in the Sound and Fury when he attended Carolina be fore and he recalls how it used to be one of the most active or ganizations on the campus a status he hopes to regain now that the campus is approaching normality again. He is quite apt to burst out laughing when he remembers some of the past publicity stunts S and F waged before shows, such as, the time a ooy pretended to throw an epileptic fit in the Y court. Fin ally when several people ran off to get doctors he stood up and said, "You'll have a fit too when you see the Sound and Fury show, "Standing Room Only!" Pokey's campus fame was really acclaimed after his char acter part in "Bagdad Daddy," the spring review in 1942. That review went on the road, touring from Fort Bragg to Greensboro Right now, all Pokey's time, energy, and ability are going into the production of Sound and Fury's Snrinfir Review.
