ranged in circles about the room
and wait for the show to begin.
A soft purple light prevails in
the chamber giving the effect of
early twilight. The first thing
you notice about the room is the
huge mass of machinery resting
in the absolute center of the
room under the apex of the
dome.
Although not visible at first,
the dome itself is made of stain
less steel plates welded together.
To the left and behind the dome
as you enter the room is a large
stage which will be used in some
phase of the demonstration.
Directly opposite the stage on
the northwest side of the room,
there is a series of peepholes be
low the "horizon line." Behind
these - holes is the control room
which is equipped with turn
tables and recording machines
for use during the demonstra
tion. Finally, to the right' center of
the room is a semi-circular,
raised pulpit affair called the
"control panel." This board con
tains all the operational controls
that will be used in the demon
stration. The man who will conduct the
demonstration mounts the pul
pit. ,
He goes at once into the pre
liminaries of the demonstration.
"Here are the facts on this room.
I am speaking to you through
speakers in the apex of the dome.
The dome is 68 feet in diameter
and 34 feet high from the hori
zon line which is nine feet, ten
inches from the floor.
"The dome is 10 percent per
forated and is made of stainless
steel throughout. There are ap
proximately 25,000,000 perfora
tions in the dome, which costs
$115,000. It is within 14 inch of
the porifcra, or only 14 inch
from being perfectly symmctri
cal.
"This demonstration will be
projected on the dome with per
forated metal plates inside the
revolving $75,000 instrument. In
actual definition, a planetarium
is essentially a multiple projec
tor with which it is possible to
reproduce the appearance of the
sky for any moment of the past,
present, or future, as seen from
any spot on the. earth's surface.

Authorities Say
Nylon-Destroyer
Could Be Worse
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb.
16 (UP) An airborne irritant
cost a few more Jacksonville
lasses their nylons today but
authorities said they were lucky
they still have their health.
Dr. W. W. Rogers, city health
officer, said that the conditions
may be similar to those in Don
ora, Pa., recently when a "death
fog" seared ' lungs and caused
death in asthmatic victims.
The soot particles that appar
ently carry sulphurous, nylon
attacking acid here fortunately
cannot be inhaled, Rogers said.
A certain degree of moisture
in the air converts the sulphuric
waste into acid in a rare com
bination of conditions such as
that at Donora, he added.
"It probably won't happen
again in a coon's age," Rogers
said. "But. if it does it won't be
a tragedy because there is so
much dilution here. But it ought
to point out to people in a con
gested community to be careful
about what they turn loose into
the air."
The state board of Health's
industrial hygiene division ex
amined some of the shredded
stockings under a microscope to
day and found a tiny soot par
ticle at each hole in the texture.

you think interest in Wolfe is

kind of a memorial would be
preferable to commemorate

sively in the western part of
the State and has visited Char

of Wolfe, and Chapel Hill. At

Chairman Earl Fitzgerald of

nounced an innovation in inter

lection of a faculty panel of jud
ges to sit at varsity debates.

sisting of 24 heads of depart

ed with an eye toward "out

abilities," Fitzgerald said.

Tom Kerr of Tarnation pointed
out that a magazine like "Holi
day' operated at a deficit for
two years.
While Marshall's substitute
resolution was under considera
tion, John Giles asked that if the
legislature provided up to 50
per cent of the funds for pub
lications that would go only to
subscribers, would not non-subscribing
students be paying "50
per cent for nothing instead of
100 per' cent for something?"'

- The 12-man committee chair-
manned by Gov. Kerr Scott, met
in the governor's office here. The
resolution to support the tuition
hike recommended by the Ad
visory Budget commission was
introduced by Mrs. Laura Cone.
Mrs. Cone's resolution read:
"Moved that it having become
apparent that in order to main
tain the standard of excellency of
instruction at the three branches
of the University than an increase
in tuition as recommended by
the commission is necessary, this
committee goes on record as fav
oring the increase recommended
by the commission."
Dr. Clarence Poe introduced
an amendment to the bill which
was accepted by the committee,
It read:
"This action is taken by the
Executive committee with the
belief that this increase repre
sents no greater increase than
the increase during recent years
in the value of hours of labor
and the prices of produce. We
look forward to the time when
economic conditions will permit
a return to the present tuition
rates."
The only member of the Exec
utive committee who could not
be present at today's meeting
was Judge John J. Parker of
Charlotte.
Immediate comments were not
available from administration or
student leaders at Chapel Hill,
but the action of the committee
was denounced by those mem
bers of the student body who
heard the report of the trustees'
meeting.

Letter Is Sent
To Kerr Scott
OnTuitionHike
President Condemns
Stand on Tuition
Student body President Jess
Dedmond said, yesterday that he
has sent a letter to Gov. Kerr
Scott protesting the tuition raise
which Scott said last week he
would "ask and insist" of the
Board of Trustees.
Dedmond's letter said, "In view
of this statement I must express,
in the name of the students at
the University of North Carolina,
my disagreement with your
stated position."
In his message to Scott, Ded
mond pointed out that the recom
mendation does not "appear con
sistent with your go-forward"
program.
The letter continued, "It is at
the same time, it seems to me,
a desertion of the stated princi
ple of the North Carolina con
stitution and the basic principles
of public education.
"Is not the purpose of public
higher educational institutions
to make educational opportunities
available to all the qualified
youth of the state? Is it not possi
ble, in line with your apparent
stand, that the youth of tthe state
will be sacrificed for the state's
private schools?
"Here at Chapel Hill we like
to feel that the sons of the farm
ers and of the common men,
whose cause you have espoused,
have an opportunity for train
ing to serve their state and nation.
"We feel that any increase in
tuition tends to close the door
which should be opened wider
for all the state's qualified youth."
