Graham Memorial Boasts Ability To Provide Varied Recreation; Facilities for Education By De Lon Kearney Presenting a newly washed face to the Carolina sun, Graham Memorial Building now stands, as always, ready to serve the members of the student body in any recreational and educa tional capacity. - ' Having its face lifted is no small task, for the building can boast of unique accomplishments. The main lounge has been called the most beau tiful room this side of Washington; the paneling alone in the room is esti mated to have cost a cool $30,000 and that was before the days of short ages, too. Begun in 1924 and finished in 1931, the building was planned to have two additional wings to include a ballroom so badly needed on campus. Features of Building In its neophyte state several fea tures of the building included a pool room, a bowling alley, a -barber shop (incidentally to be" restored when a barber is available), and" a "cafeteria in use when the Navy swarmed the campus. Even today, a novelty is the professional artist,. Miss B. Warren Jones of New York, who will paint portraits for that nominal 'sum re quired by those eating artists. Present day activities include, pas times as the Thursday -night bridge tournament (come at 7:30 if you're a devotee); bridge classes on Monday through' Thursday ' (the hour is 5-6 p. m. if you're a beginner or re fresher) -the Friday Night Frolics I v.

As the center of extra-curricular activities on the campus the building operates on a full-time entertainment schedule for all students. Though unknown to many new arrivals, all Graham Memorial activities and en tertainments are free. in the Candlelight room (from 8:30 till co-ed closing hours) ; the Satur day evening dances in the Y court; the Sunday night lawn concern (8 10:30 for the long haired musicians) ; the dark room (hold it, read the next line, please) for the purposes of de veloping those pictures you took of grandma at the beach price 25 See GRAHAM, page U Person Hall Shows Exhibits Collected By Life Magazine rnotograpnic bcience, an amazing exhibit comprising a collection of photographs prepared by the editors of Life Magazine, will be on view in the Person Hall Art Gallery from Wednesday, August 7, through Tues day, August 20, it was announced to day by John V. Allcott, head of the University Art Department. Gallery hours are from 10 to 5 daily and from 2 to 5 on Sundays. Consisting of 18 photographs by Fritz Goro, well known Life photog rapher, the exhibit records "impor tant moments" in the history of scien tific achievement." Each . photograph is enlarged and mounted on 28 by 38 inch panels. "Micro-Photography" Mr. Goro, one of the pioneers in photographing science, has also pio neered in devising methods to photo graph the illusive manifestations of science, as against xne two aimen sional effect of microphotography, he has developed what he calls "micro photography," which takes tiny objects below the point of vision and photo graphs much scientific phenomena, and his historic photograph of atom split ting, made in 1939, is included in this exhibition of his work. Many of the exhibition photographs were made with specially built equip ment and often involved Mr. Goro in months of preparation. The drama of some subjects is increased owing to original photographic magnification and to subsequent enlargement of the See PERSON, page U X Uncertainty of Funds Causes Delay; Course To Cost $250 Course Would Include Sufficient Training for CAA Pilot's License By Roy C. Moose . The possibility of resuming flight training as an elective course at Carolina in the near future, probably this fall, was expressed yesterday by J. A. Williams, Assistant Business Manager. The course, if offered, would include flight training sufficient for a Civil Aeronautics Association private pilot's license and ground school work in meterology, navigation, and CAA flight regulations. - Cost for the entire course will be approximately $250.00, most of which could be covered by the GI Bill of Rights. Need Experienced Managers At present plans are being held up for lack of an experienced Airport Manager and the necessary 'funds for the initial equipment. Approximator $25,000 will be needed to finance the project. Since there ' are no appro priations for an Aeronautical Depart ment and since the course is purely elective, the entire program will have to be self-financing and self-supporting. Mr. Williams pointed out that there would have to be a sufficient demand for the course from the students to insure the project being self-supporting. ' Many Applications Received Many applications have been re ceived for the position of Airport Manager but as yet no decision has been made because of the uncertain ty of funds. Prior to the war the University cur ricula included a Department of Aero nautics under the management of W. R. Mann. General Aeronautics 31 was offered then as an elective five hour course and was open to all stu dents who had completed one year of colelge work. Flight training was given at the Chapel Hill airport in Piper Cubs, planes of 65 horsepower. Equipment Sold in '43 However, in 1943 the University was called on by the Federal Govern ment to sell its equipment for war training purposes. At that time Mann entered the service and Flight Train ing was discontinued. Now that the University has con verted itself to civilian training, it is felt that there is a definite need to resume the course in. Aeronautics. Information will be released later concerning the definite class, credits, and eligibility, when plans are com plete according to Mr. Williams. Robbers Loot Pharmacy The Carolina Pharmacy was robbed of approximately $800 in cash and checks sometime between 2 o'clock and 9 o'clock Thursday morn ing by an unknown thief who broke two locks, in committing Chapel Hill's first crime of this typo m more than a year., Mrs. Phillip Lloyd, wife of the drug store's owner, requests all students who had checks cashed at the store" on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday i i i i .1 i to siop payment witn tneir DanK im mediately, and also to notify the Carolina Pharmacy, since they have no record of persons for whom they had performed this service. Mrs. Lloyd said that the major reason for having such. a large amount of-cash on hand was for convenience in cash ing student checks. Cash Receipts In Wood Compartment The Lloyds have been unable to buy a safe, and kept their cash receipts in a wood compartment closed by a small lock set into the doors. The thief smashed a padlock off the back door of the store, broke the lock to the cash drawer, and took a wood tray of coins, a bag of pennies, a metal cash box, and a cigar box con taining stamps. Nothing else in the store had ap parently been molested. Chief of Police W. T. Sloan is investigating the robbery. GI Bill Change Is Announced 'Closed Awards' Policy Begins Next Quarter A new policy, which in effect means that each veteran will be placed in training for only one quarter at a time, has been announced by the Vet erans' Administration, Carlyle Shep ard, University Veterans' adviser, said yesterday. Heretofore, "open awards" have been made whereby the date on which J the subsistence will begin is specified, but the date on which it will end is not. Hereafter, only "closed awards" will be made, with both the date of begin ning and date of termination of sub sistence will be indicated. This policy , will become effective here at Carolina at the end of the second summer session, August 29, Shepard said. On that date each pre viously enrolled veteran will have his training "interrupted." This "inter ruption" will be made automatically and will not require any notice of in tention on the part of the veteran. The new plan will not necessitate any new certificates of eligibility or requests from the veteran to continue his training. During the pre-registra-tion period, the veteran will fill out a form as a part of the regular regis tration routine which will place him back in training under the G. I. Bill without further effort on his part. IFC Meeting ' , The Interfraternity Council will meet Monday night at 7:30 o'clock in the Grail Room of Graham Memorial. Veterans May Use Change of Address For August Checks Veterans who desire that their sub sistence checks for August be mailed to their home address should notify the Veterans' Administration. Win ston-Salem, prior to August 10, on the change of address form, VA 572, which can be obtained at either 119 Peabody or 208 South. The checks for August will arrive on September 1. Therefore in order that checks shall not be lost or de layed in transit it is essential that arrangements be made, according to a statement from the veterans' ad viser. If any veteran is planning not to mail the change of address form but to have his check forwarded from Chapel Hill he should leave a large self-addressed envelope for that pur pose. If it is re-addressed and for warded in the original envelope, the Post Office department must return it to the Veterans' Administration, the statement said. Ed Scheidt, State FBI Head and UNC alumnus, recently won the State Championship in checkers. James E. Webb, UNC class of 1928, has just been appointed Budget Director of the Uhited States byPresi dent Truman.
