VoL 16, No. « Tulane to Bring Heavy Team to Meet Carolina Beefy Linemen and Backs from New Orleans Will Give Tar Heels Hard Job Tomorrow FULL STADIUM EXPECTED The village is making ready for the thousands of people who will come here tomorrow for the Carolina - Tulane football game and the University’s “Homecoming Day.” The main street, the fraternity houses, and the dormitories are being gaily decorated. Restaurants and cafe terias are laying in extra sup plies of food. The State High way Patrol has promised to send some of its men to help the local officers with the great flood of traffic. The kickoff will be at 2 o’clock in the Kenan stadium. The game promises to be a good one, and it is expected that the sta dium will be filled to overflow ing. The forecasters give North Carolina a slight edge. The Tar Heels come up to this game with a 14 to 6 victory over Wake For est and a 21 to 0 victory over State College. Tulane’s score board shows a 13 to 10 defeat by Clemson and a scoreless tie with Auburn. The University team played good, sound football last Satur day against State College and may show still better stuff to morrow. The team’s supporters are cheered by the report that George Stirnweiss, first-string quartern©*, wiirffrcibahly play. (Stirnweiss has been in the hos pital this fall with an ulcerated stomach.) It is believed here that Tulane is stronger than it was last year, when the University de feated them, 13 to 0. Coach Bill Lange, who scouted the Clemson and Auburn games, said that the Tulane line was 50 per cent better in the Auburn game than it was in the opener with Clem son, and that Auburn never seri ously threatened the Tulane goal line. A. A. U. W. Meeting Will Be Held Tuesday Afternoon in New Dormitory for Women The first fall meeting of the American Association of Univer sity Women will be held at 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon in the new dormitory for graduate women.

Art Exhibit and Gallery Talk An exhibition of 20 drawings, “Improvisations on the Cruci fixion,” by Joseph T. Pearson, Jr., of Huntingdon Valley, Pa., will open at the Person hall art gallery day after tomorrow (Sunday). These drawings were shown last June at the CoVcoran gallery in Washington, D. C. Russell T. Smith, head of the University's art department, will five a gallery talk on this ex* hibit and the Dwight Shepler exhibit at 4 o’clock Sunday af ternoon in Person hall. Every body is invited. The Chapel Hill Weekly LOUIS GRAVES Editor P.W.A. Approval of Latest Project Brings to $2*349,000 Total Cost Os Luilding Program Soon to Begin The unexpected last-minute approval by the P. W. A. of the $700,000 project embracing three dormitories and an addi tion to the Carolina Inn has raised to $2,349,000 the cost of building improvements to be car ried through by the University within the next year and a half. By the terms of the Government grants, a start must be made on every project by December 31. Os the total amount to be spent, the Government contri butes 46 per cent ($1,057,000), the University 55 per cent (sl,- 292,000). For some projects the University’s share comes from an appropriation by the legisla ture; for others, the University issues revenue bonds based on revenues from the projects. In the former category are the improvements for which money was voted at the special session in August (zoology building and the reconstruction of the Alumni building, Gerrard hall, and the Byhum gymnasium). In the lat ter category are the power plant, the dining hall, five dormitories, and the Inn addition. These are the new structures that will be under way next spring (some of them earlier) Village Is to Have Set of Bowling Alleys; They Will Be Operated by McCauley and Johns John McCauley and J. B. Johns are going to operate a set of four bowling alleys in the building on Franklin street re cently vacated by the Lyon hard ware company. “They will be of the very best modern type—streamlined,” said Mr. McCauley yesterday. This reporter doesn’t know what streamlined means, as applied to bowling facilities, but it sounds impressive. Anyway, the alleys will be right. The new establishment is ex pected to open some time around the end of the month. The firm that is to install the alleys has a force of mechanics on a job in West Virginia now; as soon as they have finished it they will come here, and the installation will take about ten days. The University has given its approval to the enterprise, and good order and decency are guar anteed. If any bowler or spec tator doesn’t behave properly, and doesn’t respond to admoni tions, Mr. McCauley, who is to be the manager, will undertake to throw him out; and if the fellow is too pugnacious and Binewy to A Record-Breaking Enrollment A record-breaking total of 3,480 students are enrolled this fall in the University, 240 more than at this time last year. There are 1,003 out-of-state stu dents from 33 states, the Dis trict of Columbia, and 8 foreign counties. There are 269 from New York, 121 from New Jer sey, and 78 from Pennsylvania. There are 390 co-eds, more than ever before. This is the fifth consecutive year that the Uni versity's registration record has been broken. Sausage Tree, No Sausages H. D. Carter, standing in front of the bank Monday, was telling a friend about things he had seen in Florida. “They showed me what they said was a sausage tree,” he said; and, after a pause and a gloomy shake of the head, he concluded the story: “But there weren't shy sausages oti ft.” CHAPEL HILL, N. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1988 and will be completed by the spring of 1940: Power plant, out by the laun dry at the west end of Cameron avenue, the present power plant on the campus. Zoology building. Dining hall. v Five dormitories. Addition to the Inn. One of the new dormitories will be for women and win be a twin to the one for women in the grove opposite the Arboretum. They will face one another. Another dormitory (for men) will fill the open space at the east end of the outer quadrangle (near the tennis courts). Where the three other dormitories, the zoology building, and dining hall will be placed has not yet been decided. Carr to Design Inn Addition The University has engaged George Watts Carr of Durham to design the addition to the Carolina Inn. He was seen in specting the r present building and the grounds day before yesterday, and he has already begun making preliminary sketches. be handled by the partner on the spot, the absent partner and maybe the police will be sum moned to carry through the ejec tion. The alleys are to be open on weekdays from 10 A. M. to mid night. Coca colas and cigarettes will be served by vending ma chines, and sandwiches will be sold by hand. Arrival of His Father and Mother Fails to Make House Feel Like Home to Jim McMullan Attorney General and Mrs. Harry McMullan have moved into the J. P. Harl&nd house. Before they came, there was a period of three weeks when their son Jim, a sophomore in the high school, lived with the Harlands. Around bedtime every night Mrs. Harland would bring him a slice of cake, a piece of pie, or something else good to eat; and sometimes the archae ologist aroused himself from dreams of ancient tombs to pay the young man agreeable atten tions. It did not take Jim long t 9 decide that the Princetonian and the fair-haired descendant Scouts to March up Street at 4 This Afternoon The Merchants Association has assured the people of the vil lage a view of the 1,800 Boy Scouts, now assembled here for their Jubilee and quartered in tents on the campus, by arrang ing a parade up the main street at 4 o’clock this (Friday) after noon. A campfire session was held last night on Fetzer field. An elaborate “scout-o-rama” will be held there at 8 o’clock this (Fri day) evening. Everybody is in vited. Several national and re gional Scout officials will be on the program. Demonstrations of all types of Scout activities will be given in the encampment today and to morrow morning. A cooking demonstration will be put on at noon tomorrow. The Scouts will attend the Carolina-Tulane football game tomorrow afternoon and will give a demonstration between halves. Chapel Hjll Chaff Last week I expressed the fear that J. T. GobbePs signing his name legibly might disqual ify him for employment by the Bank of Chapel Hill. “This re minds me,” says Raymond Adams, “of an incident. A few years ago an attempt was made to ascertain the illiterates in Or ange county by examining the tax books, on the theory that those whose signatures could not be read or those who had to have others sign for them needed re medial treatment. When the list emerged it included the name of the cashier of the Bank of Chapel Hill and the President of the University—the one because no one could read his name, the other because someone else (his secretary) had signed for him.” * * * Before proceeding further, I should say that the correct way to pronounce Athanasia is with the accent on the next to the last syllable and with the * like a double e, thus: AthanasEEa. The other evening when I was dining at Louis Loizon’s restau rant, the Tavern, a laughing lit tle girl with dark eyes and dark hair (as I presently learned, she was four and a half years old) came running up to my table, and Mr. Loizon introduced her as his daughter, Athanasia. The name seemed appropriate, for in the appearance of the child was something sort of flavor of romance. It brought a vision of waves lapping softly on a Mediterranean strand, of the olive-trees and the blue skies and the temples of Attica. The sound of long-forgotten lines was in my ears again: “maid of Athens . . .", “and Marathon looks on the sea . .“rang the pure music of the flutes of Greece.” (Continued on last page) of the Vikings were just the right sort of people. When the McMullans arrived, and the displaced owners took refuge with English Bagby three or four hundred yards down the road, the peace and quiet that had hitherto prevailed were suc ceeded by a state of confusion. Baggage coming in, miscella neous belongings strewn around, no servant yet engaged—all that sort of thing. In the midst of the jumble Jim remarked sadly to his father and mother; “It doesn’t seem like home since the Harlands left.” The boys are taking their meais at Swain hall: breakfast at 6:30, lunch at 11, supper at 6. The University infirmary has established a field hospital in the encampment, and the Scouts re ceive dally physical instruction. A trained nurse is on duty at all times. Religious services will b e held for the encampment at 8 o’clock Sunday morning, after which the Scouts will break camp and start home. • »!■■■■ i i.i —■■nun ii—■.■n— Human Relations Institute The University’s sixth Hu man Relations Institute will be held here April 2 to 7, with Harry Comer as chief executive officer.

Project Academy oi Sciences to Have Meeting Here The National Academy of Sci ences, the most select organiza tion of scientists in America, with a membership limited to 300, will have its annual meet ing here in Chapel Hill—its first meeting in the South—on the 24th, 25th, and 26th of this month. It is a great distinction to be elected to the Academy. There are only two members in North Carolina and they are both in the faculty/here: H. V. Wilson, zoologist, and William deß. Mac- Nider, pharmacologist. Mr. Wilson is honorary chair man of the committee on ar rangements, and R. E. Coker is active chairman. The scientific sessions will be held in Venable hall. The Uni versity will give the visitors a dinner at the Carolina Inn on the 24th, and Duke University will entertain them at a lunch eon the 25th. There will be a reception at the Inn on the eve ning of the 25th. Citizens, Register! New Lilting of Voters to Begin Mon day, Oct. 10, and End Oct M To the citizens of Chapel Hill: if you don’t register between this coming Monday, October 10, and Saturday, October 29, you can’t vote in the November elec tion. For, a new registration has been ordered by thd county elec tion board. AH previous regis trations are null and void. The old precinct is now cut into two new precincts. The di viding line is: Franklin street, from Carrboro to Raleigh street (President’s House corner); thence along Raleigh street to state highway 54 at the new gym nasium ; thence with state high way 54 eastward to the Orange county line. The territory north of this line is the North Chapel Hill precinct; the territory south of it is the South Chapel Hill precinct. Here is the informa tion you need about registra tion: North Chapel Hill precinct: Paul Robertson, registrar, will register any citizen in his office, in Carolina theatre building, on any weekday from Monday, Octo ber 10, to Saturday, October 29, inclusive. On the three Satur days (October 16, 22, 29) he will be in his office all day. On other days than Saturday any citizen may make an appointment by telephone (No. 6576). If a meet ing at Mr. Robertson’s office is not convenient, he will come to the citizen’s home. South Chapel Hill precinct: Theo. Best, registrar, will re gister any citizen according to exactly the same schedule as the one just given for Mr. Robert son. He can be reached at his home, 305 Pittsboro street. His telephone number is 5751. He will be at the elementary school (in yard of in athletic building) all day on the three Saturdays (October 15, 22, 29). On any day but Saturday, telephone him for an appointment, Hitch-Hikers Are Fined Three University students were convicted in the recorder’s court last Monday evening of violating the local ordinance against* begging rides while standing out in the street. They were lined $2 each by Judge Phipps. . # sl-50 a Year in Advance. 5c a Copy Will Satisfy Desire That Has Been Cherished by Univer sity People for Years ITLL BE A SORT OF CLUB A faculty center, which will serve the purpose of a dub and a general meeting place for the teaching and administrative forces of the University, will be contained in the structure that is to constitute an addition to the Carolina Inn. This addition is part of a P.W.A. project (the other part being three dormitories) for which the University put in an application a little while before the Government’s deadline date. The last-minute approval in Washington, hoped for but not expected, came as an agreeable surprise to President Graham and other University officials. The cost of the four structures embraced in the project will be about $700,000. Some of the space in the new section of the Inn wiU be de voted to sleeping quarters, which are urgently needed for people who attend conventions and institutes, as well as for transient guests, and to kitchen, dining room, and cafeteria ex tensions. The faculty center will be so fitted into the build ing plan that it will be easily accessible from other parts of the Inn but will be separated from lobbies and corridors for the, sake of privacy. For many years members of the University faculty have been yearning for a club like faculty clubs elsewhere in the country. Some men who have come from other institutions have declared that, on the social side, the lack of such a place was their one real disappointment in Chapel Hill. Sporadic efforts to organ ize a club have been made, and aU have come to naught. Os course there has not yet been time to work out any de tails of the organization. Pre sumably there will be moderate membership fees and the usual battery of committees. University Day Celebrition Next Wednesday; Eth ridge of Louisville Will Speak Mark Ethridge, general man ager of the Louisville Courier- Journal, will speak at 11 o’clock next Wednesday morning, Octo ber 12, in Memorial hall at the celebration of the 145th anniver sary of the founding of the Uni versity.
