cut -to Raleigh) indicates that the preseni distance will be reduced by mile and a half That is thatit will' be 1 1 'i instead of 13 miles If this is jaccomplished the distance from Chapel Hill to Ra leigh by the hew road will- be 28 miles and the saying as compared with the journey a-round by Durham will be 9 Vi miles instead of the hitherto ex pected 8 The shortening-is to be effected in part by straightening the line at this end The new straightway will be built from near the bottom "of hi eastward to eliminate the bent which now carries the traveler around the Needham Lloyd hill Under the new plan traffic wil pasipto the north instead of the soutk-tif that eminence John Sprunt Hill the highway commissioner for this district says that beginning at the junction with the Pittsboro highway southwest of the campus there will be miles pf road to the Durham county line and 9 miles from the Durham county line to Nelson It is regarded as more economical in the long run to build a new road on proper line than to maintain an improperly placed road that would fdmost surely have to be changed in the future Just when the actual work of construction will begin is not yet known The survey has not gone far enough for the map to je laid before the highway July meeting and it js hoped that the contract for the improvement will be let this summer Already wooden forms show the outline of seats and the pouring oAwncrete for the new Kenan stadium is to begin This point of progreM has been reached on the north side of the field and before many more days have passed a start will be made on the forms on the south side The reiort got abroad a' week or so ago that the University athletic authorities had given up hope of having the" stands ready for the Virginia game next Thanksgiving I)ay But this is not correct The work schedule in the office of Graduate Manager Woollen indicates completion by the fifst of November It is likely that the problem of a playing surface will be solved by the hauling in of turf At first it was planned to plant grass in time to get a good growth by November but the great masses of rock unexpectedly encountered prolonging the excavation Job threw the schedule out pf gear and so it looks as if the Held will not bejpady for seeding as soon as was anticipated There has been some talk to the effect that the'V I game which comes three weeks before Thanksgiving may be played in the stadium Jmt thus far that is no more than rumor It may be that within the next few weeks there will be some definite information about it At last the rock on the stadium site seems to have come to an end and whatever blasting is heard from qow on will be for the purpose of shattering some of the loose boulders that are lying about The rock caused altogether a delay of about six weeks in the excavation but the schedule had provided enough margin for this not to spoil the plan for the Thanksgiving game Gossip places the amount that Neiio Teer lost on the excavation at more than 810000 Eflmd Miy 17th 1927 a In'some places an editor may set himBelf up as an oracle and1 To th Editor: get away with it but in the Feelln that rtlde on neighborhood of a
