women who ardently championed it With the family thus divided the professor of history maintained a strict neutrality It seems to me that even neutrality a pretty bold position for a husband to take Under like circumstances I doubt it many would have dared it and doff my hat to Mr Connor as a person of independent spirit tVy' Dr MacNider could not eat or drink and could hardly speak after his operation for tonsilitis last week but he managed to smoke four cigarettes before he had been out from under the knife as many hours' As we sat fourteen of us in Mr sitting room the other night Mr Toy remarket that this group outnumbered the University faculty as it was when he first came to Chape Hill He recalled that one -afternoon in the late eighties the President and all the professors down to the youngest instructor met and went for a walk together Their course 1 lay through the Tenney place (where the Braunes and the Cokers now dwell) and on down across a log over the creek If the faculty of today assembled for such a purpose an introducer would have to be appointed to make the members acquainted with each other and unless a warning were published in advance the gathering of such host

Rockefeller Memorial he is now engaged in making a study of county government in America Branson is directing his searches Mr Boland was at Harvart during the first few months his stay in this country am came thence to Chapel Hill Early in the summer he will se forth in a car for a tour through the West The stranger came to get information about America but it has turned oubthat many of his new acquaintances in 'the University-are taking advantage of his presence here to get information about Ireland At a supper at the Steiners' the other evening he was subjected to a long-sustained fusillade of questions about affairs in the Free State He is an enthusiastic adherent of the new regime and believes that ifis the best possible solution of the problem that has baffled Britain for centuries Mr Boland is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin Not only has he had an intimate view of the political changes that have taken place in his native land within the last few years but also since leaving college he has devoted himself to a careful study -of the Free State government His knowledge of its workings and his familiarity with Irish history and literature and the life of all classes of the Irish people make his conversation exceptionally interesting The dynamiting goes on day after day on the site of the Kenan Rtadium The noise of the heavy blasting resounds through the village and on and around the campus windows and doors rattle from the shock Nello Teer the excavating contractor made his bid on a flat-sum "basis not as is sometimes done with a provision for extra compensation for the removal of rock That is he took his chances and hoped for the best For a while it looked as if he were in luck The steam shovel clawed away at the hill sides and found little but soft and yielding dirt Then a few weeks ago the diggers hit rock and they have been hitting it ever since Drills are constantly in operation and quantities of dynamite have had to be brought upon the scene Every time a blast is about to be set off the workmen must scatter to safety and when they re-assemble they must struggle to get huge bould- ers confined in chains and dragged away by the caterpillar tractors It is a process than consumes much more money than does the handling of soil this keeps up they ought to call this the Teer Stadium lrir stead of the Kenan one of the friends remarked to him the other day it docs look like going to contribute a good deal toi replied Mr Teer However he takes the hard luck philosophically and sticks to the job Atwood of At-wood-Nash the engineer-architects says that the excavating schedule as laid down when the work began is being maintained He estimates that more than half of the total excavation has been done and thinks that the laying of concrete will probably begin about the first of June There seems to be no fear the the stadium will not be completed by Thanksgiving Day The final level of the playinj 1 field in the middle has been established and here the ground Is settling so that it may be rollec and planted in grass early in the summer McCauley and Shields to Open Store Next Week The contract for paving the stretch from the Orange-Chat-ham county line to Pittsboro on state highway No 75 is to be let Tuesday March 29 It is regarded as practically certain that the work will be finished by the latter part of November so that the new road will be open for traffic for the Virgin ia-Carolina football game on Thanksgiving Day Between the bridge a mile from Chapel Hill and the county line it a three-mile stretch of dirt road which is not included in the project This however may be added to the contract in which case November will see road paved without a break from the Virginia line through Durham and Chapel Hill to six miles south-of Sanford Another? paving enterprise soon to be put under way Is the one between the western edge of Chapel Hill and the Carrboro public school Jack Long has he contract for this and he is have his force at work before March is out A new route for this road has ecn mapped out through the joint efforts qf the Cjiapel UiU arid Carrboro tqwn governments and the state highway commission In order that the right-angle turn at Rosemary lane near the site of the old Marshall blacksmith shop) may be diminated a right-of-way has een cut through from the west end of Franklin street to meet losemary (which is here part of he state highway to Hillsboro) a hundred yards or so this way from the railway track The present highway will be followed to the other side of the track From that point the pavement instead of swinging to the right will go on straight past the -stores and past the Baptist church and will then curve to the right and meet the present highway at the turn near the school Last fall it was said that the paving the four-mile stretch from Carrboro to Calvander was to be included in the spring contracts but this has been postponed There is a possibility however that later on in the' year the commission may decide to extend the hard surface that far i At the same time that Jack Long builds the new road through Carrboro he will complete the paving of West Franklin street in Chapel Hill Only half of that contract had bedi completed when winter weather set in A f- i V- TV- V1 Party for Mr Noble Hill Sells to Delta Psi 'rirnda Gather fur
