Support of Loan to Britain

On World Commerce, Claims Statesman
New York, Feb. 11. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes to
night urged support of the proposed loan agreement with Great
Britain as a mpasnrp whirh &
would loosen the grip of cartels
on world commerce and establish
international trade on a business

Byrnes said that British

Although the architect's plans
call for two wings, those in
charge of the drive are working
to build only one wing at the
present time. In the new wing
would be a combined auditorium
arid ball room which would do
away with the necessity of using
the main lounge for dances and
other social affairs. At the pres
ent time students are forced to
sit on the floor and window sills
for Sunday night concerts and
other performances. Many of

The board of directors of Gra

$500 to secure professional en

time only singers and pianists
can be used because of. the lack
of a stage and dressing rooms.
When Mary Hutchinson, drama
tist, comes'here March 6 she will
perform in the Playmakers
Theatre, although it is the policy
of Graham Memorial to hold all
activities within the building it
self. The Playmakers have giv

commodate Miss Hutchinson and

Also in the new wing there
will be an informal student rec
reation room with a juke box,
ping pong tables, bridge tables
and other recreational facilities.
This room will be open from ear
ly morning until late night.
Construction will begin on the
new dream wing as soon as suf

$25.00 to the fund and other con
tributions, dither personal or

from the Valentine Dance Fri

the building fund.
Hello, Major V someone said.
An elderly, rather stout man
shook hands with the trustee.
The ordinary Tar Heel native
was the giver of the Art Gallery
and Planetarium, which stu
pendous value caused immediate
excitement among the trustees.
"We congratulate you on your
contribution to the education of
the youth of America, and to
world peace."
All the group was shaking
hands with the Major, who was
the second of the Moreheads to
attend the University since the
first John Motley Morehead
came here when the school was
21 years of age. Each of the
four generations has played a
major role jn the unfolding in
dustrial, business and social de
velopment of the Old North
State. The first Morehead was
twice Governor of North Caro
lina (1840 and 1842), made his
extensive and lasting contribu
tions to railroad building and in
ternal improvements. John Mot
ley, a sophomore here now, is
studying radio.
"I wanted to share something
of what I have to the students
who will pursue science as I have
tried to do," Major Morehead
commented on the Planetarium,
the telescope of which will cost
$75,000. . '
The Memorial Gallery will
have supporting reception

service rooms.
