Rides Senate Herd Dr. Franks Veep Wit WASHINGTON, Sept. ' 21 W Now that Alben Barkley has been promoted from senator to vice-president, he doesn't get quite so many chances to exer cise the Barkley wit officially. And the Senate is the worse for it. :- Barkley used to be an expert at jumping into a Senate squab ble that threatened to get out of bounds. He'd come through with a snappy crack, "or, more often, a long winded, but witty, story with a near tagline. In short, he was a tension breaker. Every meeting, whether its the U. S. Senate or your local PTA, needs one. Several senators have a sense Phone F - slmeoT cxceeoino : : , . : : '. , icfrA filial ' WK X k I ' i a.

The : acting president had been serving in-that capacity in every thing but name since last March when Dr. Frank Porter Graham was appointed to the United States Senate. He will continue in the job until the Board of Trustees appoints a successor to Senator Graham, who ran the University for 19 straight years before his appointment. Victor Bryant, Durham attor ney and chairman of the special Trustee committee selected .to re commend candidates for the pres idential job, said the group will , (See CARMICHAEL, page 5) Humor Replacing For Cooling Tempers j of humor, although it's usually wordy and cumbersome . And several more have the type of humor that smarts and stings. But none, it seems, is as ef fective as Barkley at pouring out humor to cool the hot fuss. One possible candidate; Sena tor Graham (D-NC), although he hasn't been around long enough to tell for sure. The former president of North Carolina University is a small, vivacious man with a quick grin. .- --.-A-t He tickled reporters soon after he came here.

The counsellors, selected by the (See ORIENTATION, page 8) man Graham held up his hand, like a schoolboy, and asked: "Mr. President, could I say a few words now?" He was presiding over th Senate the other, day during the absense of V-P Barkley, who constitutionally has the job.

BANG! Turning to the chair, Connelly asked: , (See GRAHAM, page 3) 11 NUMBER 1 On; 7 000 $19 Million To Be Cost Of Expansion Medical Building Is Biggest Unit By Chuck Hauser "There'll be mud; there'll be inconveniences; and this old campus will be mighty torn up for the next year or so, but when we get through we will have more than $19, 000,000 worth of new build ings and equipment," Assist ant Controller C. E. Teague mused yesterday on the Uni versity's gigantic postwar ex pansion program which is finally putting on a full head of steam. Teague said the total expan sion program will cover the sum of $19,028,800. The 1947 General Assembly appropriated $7,844,800 of the amount, and the 1940 Legislature added a $6,042,500 suplement plus an additional $5,141,500 appropriation. The 'Assistant Controller, quot ing figures from his "Bible," the 1949-51 ; biennium state budget, seemed concerned ocer the stu dents' reception to the general havoc the multi-million dollar building program will cause on campus. "If students will just bear with us while the building's going on," -he said, "we'll eventually get things cleaned up, landscaped, and we'll have a much more beautiful campus." Teague said work has already begun on the 3,000,000-galJon-per day filter plant, at a cost of $840,000, and "ie new '$400,000. disposal plant being paid for jointly by the University and the town of Chapel Hill, has all ready been completed. The new Medical School and teaching hospital contracts have been let at a cost of $3,663,954, and work should, begin soon. The General Ascsembly originally ap- propriateS $5,344,00 for the work, but the state saved $1,396,000 on the contract bids. In addition to the Meo School, plans are on the drawing board, Teague said, for a $1,618,000 nurses home and training school. Also being built is a $610,000 building to house internes and residents and $100,000 is going into building and equipment for the School of Dentistry. A $200,000 addition will be built on the the old Medical School biulding and a $175,000 VD research laboratory is in the process of being completed'. A $900,000 addition to the chemistry building is on the drawing-board and $250,000 worth of equipment will be added to that. Three new dormitories will be built to the southeast of the Monogram Club at a cost of $930, 000 for buildings and $700,000 for equipment. The " addition to the Law School will encompass (See BUILDING, page -5) 56 Years With this issue The Daily Tar Heel begins its 56th year of service to the campus.
