NIGHT WORK NOW
TO RUSH BUILDING
Furious Efforts to Get Things Ready
for Opening Of University
This Month
RECORD BREAKING ATTENDANCE

Night carpentry work is in
vogue in Chapel Hill now.
Furious is about the only word
7 to describe the efforts that both
University and town are max
ing to get ready for the opening
of the fall term. The difficulty
of getting labor recalls the
super-busy days of wartime.
A citizen of Chapel Hill, at the
postoffice the other morning,
looking heavy-eyed and weary,
tot told a friend:
81 stayed up half the night
putting up bookshelves an6
painting l kept waiting and
waiting for the promised help.
but it didn't come and l had to
do the job myself"
AS one goes by or through
the campus after dark, he hears
the sound of hammering on the
college buildings. This has to
be if they are to be done on time.
The authorities are straining
every nerve to get as much work
behind as possible in the next
two weeks.
The Old West and the Carr
buildings, the interiors of which
have had to be reconstructed,
are expected to be ready for stu
dents, but the middle and south
ern section of the Old East can
not be completed until Christ
mas. 1t is the Old East that
was found this summer to be in
danger of cohapsing, and a new
concrete framework had to be
built to hold it together.
The registration to date shows
that this falls enrolment in the
University will break all records.
Dormitory Accommodations were
long since exhausted, and all the
available rooms in the village are
being brought into service. for
students.

Stockholm. He told his audi

paid. He told me, too, that he
was pleased to have got rid of
his big place, now that his fam

hasn't at his command the wide
space that he used to have, he
still manages to work with
things that grow-grass, and
flowers and vegetables now, in
stead of larger crops.
