Committee PoStpones Decision
On Stadium Site; Will Meet
Monday to Say the Final Word

The committee aon buildings
of the University's board of
trustees adjourned its meeting
here last Monday without de-
Gliding upon the site for the new
Kenan stadium. 1t will convene
again this. coming Monday and
will then make the final decision.
When Mr.. Kenan announced
the gift three weeks ago it was
taken for granted that the sta
dium would be placed in the
.ravine near the Tin Can. But
then the objection was raised
that this site was too close in
that, when. the University ex-
panded toward the south, the
noisy athletic celebrations would
I be too near the precincts devot-
ed to scholarly pursuits.
The members of the committee
spent several hours discussing
the matter and listening to ar
guments pro and con. At the af-
ternoon session they concluded
that they wanted week longer
to think it over.
"It's too important a question
to be settled hastily. ".one of them
said when the meeting broke up.
"The University is growing, and
we've got to look a long way
ahead. When the stadium is
built it will be built to stay. We
can't afford not to be dead sure
it's in the right place"

Chapel Hill Chaf

). A few weeks back | was proud
to publish to the world the high
standing of my neighbor, Yer
non Kyser, as an authority on
soap. This was apropos of his
being retained as an expert wit
ness by American manufactur-
ers who were defending their
right to apply to their product
the word CASTLE. The attack
ers are group of importers
who bring into America a Euro
pean article which alone, they
say, may properly be called by
that name.
The suit before the Federal
Trade Commission is still in
progress, and Mr.. Kyser con-
tinues his researches. From be-
ing soap chemist he has per-
force become a soap historian.
In the University library, and
in the private library of his
uncle Vernon Howell, he pores
over musty tones in search of
evidence to fortify his convic-
tion that CASTLE is a generic
term which, for centuries, has
pertained to soaps made in var
ious countries. He tells me that
he has found references to soap
in ancient Hebrew scriptures.
Some of the books which he con-
suits are in Latin, and then he
goes down to get Mr.. Harrer,
the Latin professor, to trans
late for him. The other day
he found something of what he
was looking for in a German
pharmacopeia published half in
Greek and half in Latin. This
indicates that another language
man, Mr.. Bernard, will have to
be called for help. | have sug-
gested to Mr.. Kyser that he
ought to write a book called
"The History of Soap" If
cleanliness be next to godliness,
this work might bring him a de-
gree from some theology school.

Another treason for pOstpon-
ing the decision was that Pres
ident Chase was absent. He had
had to go to an important edu-
cational meeting of the faculty's
campus committee several days
in advance of last Mondays
meeting, and the faculty COM
mittee approved it by a major
ity vote. But both w. G. Coker
and DR.. William de B. MacNider,
members of this group, have eX-
pressed doubts as to. the advis-
ability of having an athletic CEN
ter so near to where new build
ings are to go up. Because of
DR.. Coker's long record of ac-
tivity in the care and develop
ment of the campus, and the
careful study he has given to
this phase of University life,
the trustees committee are Civ
ing much consideration to his
views.
The discussion of the prob
lem within the last two or three
weeks has brought forth other
suggestions for a site. One is
that the stadium be built about
400 feet down the ravine from
the place first proposed. Anoth-
er is that it be built to the south
east of the cemetery over in the
direction of the Country Club.
And still another suggestion

VILLAGE MUST
HAVEA BETTER
PHONE SYSTEM
Present Plant about to Give Way
under Steadily Increas-
ing Pressure
COMMON BATTERY COMING

The time is near at hand when
Chapel Hills present telephone
equipment can no longer stand
the strain. 1t is now being
worked to the limit of its capa-
city.
A year or so ago there arose a
situation which practically COM
pelled the University to take
over the system; and today the
University authorities find them
selves faced by two alternatives:
either to sell out to some indi-
vidual or corporation, or to in
stall new plant. \
The switchboard now in oper-
alton was designed for not more
than 400 telephones. There are
422 subscribers on the list, and
it has been possible to serve all
of them only through the use of
many duplex, or party" lines.
More applications for connections
come in every month.
When the expansion of facili-
ties can be postponed no longer,
the common battery plan will be
substituted for the existing an
tiquated magnetic plan. Which
means that the subscriber will
simply lift the receiver off the
hook, to call central, instead of
having to turn a crank. The
proposed new switchboard will
have total capacity of 1900
connections and will be equipped.
from the start, for 600. The
cost of the Improvement, includ-
ing the central plant, the instru-
ments. and the changes in wir-
ing, is estimated at between
$25, 900 and $50, 900.
AS long as the present plant
is kept in operation, the central
office will remain in the little
frame building-often called
shack--on Henderson street near
the post-office. When the COM
mon battery SYSTEM is installed,
central will be moved to the Pub
lie Service building where the
University Consolidated Service
Plants has its headquarters. 1t
is likely that along several blocks
of Franklin street the cables will
then be run in underground
conduits instead of on poles.

A Clavilux Recital
Novel Form of Entertainment Will Be
Given Monday Evening

A claviluX concert-a form of
entertainment never before pre-
sented in Chapel Hill-will be
given by Thomas Wilfred in
Memorial Hall at half past eight
O'Clock Monday evening under
the auspices of Phi Mu Alpha,
the national honorary music fra
ternity.
The clavilux is an instrument
upon which the artist plays not
with sound but with light.
"A recital, .an artist at key
board this is a passage from
one review of Mr.. Wilfred's per-
formance-"yet not sound is
heard; but as he touches the
keys on the strange instrument
in the darkened hall the huge
screen comes to life9and opens up
vistaS of fantastic forms in such
graceful movements and gorge
Gus cOlors as no pen can de-
scribe"
Thomas Wilfred began his re-
search with the use of light as a
fine art in 1905, but it was not
until 1922 that he played his
first public recital of silent visu-
al compositions. His achieve
ment has won for him a world
wide fame. The Matin of Paris
has called the clavilux "the cul-
minating point in esthetics," and
Brussels journal says: 1--WE
were transported into a gorge
GUS fairy world that continued
to live before the inner eye long
afterWard." -. These colOrs,
these FORMS" says Deems Tay-
lor, the New York Worlds cri-
tic, utterly unconnected with
anything we have known before.

lingly like that of music; they
set the imagination free; they
are by turn amusing, exciting,
and menacing, with flashes of
quite unearthly beauty
The price of admission to
Mondays concert is 81, with a
special rate of rs cents for stu
dents. There are no reserved
seats.

What vigorous effort can accom-

tion of the undernourished chill

year, from II per cent. to A per

child in one grade was brought
up to normal weight.
Mrs. Wettach and her fellow

minimum amount to be raised
this year in Chapel Hill and
Carrboro. Everybody is asked

FRANK GRAHAM.
GOING TO GAME.
IN AUTO SMASH
Misses Terrell and Parker, in
Car with Him, Have
Bones Broken
CAR CRASHES INTO HOUSE

FRANK Graham, approaching
the Y. M. C. A. building late in
the afternoon the day before
Thanksgiving, came alongside
Miss Margaret Terrell's car. In
it, with Miss Terrell, was her
friend, Miss Coralie Parker. He
asked them if they were going to
the game in Charlottesville, and
they said no.
"Why not?" he asked. Un-
able to justify themselves with
any good reason, they said very
well, then, they would go. Mr..
Graham had planned to make the
trip on the train, but they sat
isfied him that there was plenty
of room for three in the coupe.
So, after a few minutes prep
aratiOn, they struck out north,
to catch the train at Lynch
burgh. About three miles this
side Of the Virginia line they
came to a sharp bend in the
road. But they didn't know it
was there, for (as they after
ward learned) the warning sign
at this point had been torn
down. They were rolling along
at good clip, and Miss Terrell,
at the wheel, saw that if she
tried to make the curve the car
would turn over. She chose
what seemed the better chance,
and left the road.
A tree stood squarely in her
path. A quick turn of the
wheel carried her safely past it,
and then-smash the car ran
into house, an abandoned coun-
try store.
Miss Terrell had a bone in her
foot broken. Miss Parker got a
cut about four inches long above
her eyebrows, and bones in her
hand were broken.
Frank Graham-fOr some rea-
son which none Of the travellers
can explain--came out Of it
without a scratch. He helped
the two young women as best he
could, and presently a nearby
farmers family came to give
aid. They said they had heard
the crash and knew just what
had happened, since five other
cars had left the road here with
in the last month or so.
A school teacher took liz
three football fans in his car ami
brought them back to Durham
to Watts Hospital. Miss Ter
rell and Miss Parker, after re-
ceiving surgical treatment, sent
word out to their escort, waiting
in the corridor, that they wanted
him to catch a train and go on
tn Charlottesville. Nothing
you can do here" added DR.. Up
church, $50 you might as well go
on" Mr.. Graham found one
berth left on the special car
from Durham, and reached Char
lOttesVille Thanksgiving morn
ing.
Miss Terrell and Miss Parker
are still in the hospital but are
rapidly recovering.

RABBI WISE SCORES
| PALESTINE REPORT
loose GeneraIizations," He
! Says of Objections to
Jewish Colonization.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. November 3O.-Agree-
ing that Jewish colonization of Pal
estine is visionary but in the same
way that the purposes of the Pill
grim Fathers were Visionary Rabbi
Stephen s. Wise, leader of the Zionist
movement in America, yesterday at
tackled as loose concentrations" a
report made public by DR.. Henry s.
Pritchett. trustee of the Carnegie En-
ooWment for International Peace
The Pritchett report is not SO
much z report as a repercussion Of
the loose genera 'iZations that can he
heard from the lips of any Arab poll
tician, absentee Syrian landlord or
Mohammedan renegade" said the
rabbi.
Difficulties Being Met
IF DR.. Pritchett viewed Palestine
with open mind as we'll as open ewes
he must have seen that the difficulties
OF the problem are being faced in the
most earnest and resolute fashion. and
that, great as they are, they have in
part been met and solved by the in
credible sacrifices of the Jewish
pioneers in the colonies and settle
ments Of Palestine and by the ma
teridl cooperation, as yet insufficient
OF world JewrN
AS for the charge that we are
seeking to displace the Arabs, did
Or. Pritchett learn nothing of the
enormous prices paid to Arab land
lords for lands purchased from them
and for the most part reclaimed for
productivity after centuries of disuSe?
Does he not know that "A referendum
today of the Arab population of Pal
estine would result in a great ma
joritv in favor of Jewish settlement
in Palestine, because Of what Jews
have brought to and done for Pal
estine?
Jews Have Brought Good.
1T is not true that unhappiness and
the bitterness have been increased
for the Jew and the Arab by the Jew
fsh reSettlement. Jews have
brought nothing but good to Pal
estne
After asserting his belief that Jew
and Arab are bound to go forward
together in unity of spirit and effort
unless investigators and surveyors
succeed, as they are hardly likely to
do. in bringing il to pass that Pal
estine, instead Of being under British
mandate, shall become an Arab de
pendency of some Near East empire"
Rabbi Wise says that il is a "lamenta-
bic thing that man making report
like this should be clothed with the
authority with which the Carnegie
Foundation seems to invest him.
