Nash Judged Pictures
Returns from New York, Where He
Served on Architects Jury

Arthur G.. Nash returned at
the end of last week from New
York, where he had gone to
serve as one of the judges in a
competition held by the Beaux
Arts Institute of Design. Mrs.
Nash accompanied him on the
trip.
Periodically the Institute,
made up of alumni of the Ecole
des Beaux Arts in Paris, holds
these competitions among stu
dents in American architectural
schools. Always some definite
problem among students in A
merican architectural schools is
assigned. This time the con-
testants were called upon to
submit designs of a monumen-
tai bell-toWer suitable for a
municipalities World War men,
orial.
The jury of 30 architects
started in to examine the draw
ings at five O'Clock in the after
noon of the appointed day, and
continued their work through
the evening. They had to di-
vide up in squads for the pre-
liminary weeding-out, because
of the great number of designs
submitted. Then, when the
first medal" drawings were put
up against the wall, the entire
jury voted on those which were
to receive the prize offered by
the Municipal Art Society and
the two scholarships offered by
the Fontainebleau School of Ar
chitecture.

Wigwammers Alarm Parents

Margot Baker, Deedy Carroll,
and Bobby Koch decided, late
Wednesday afternoon, that they
would go out into the woods
back of the Koch home and
build a wigwam, and they set
forth without telling anybody a.
bout their plan. Dark came on
and they had not returned.
Their parents, alarmed, began
telephoning around in search of
a clue. The three adventurers
appeared a half hour or so after
supper.

1t is humiliating, the brand of
weather we have recently been
obliged to display to visitors.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Robertson,
and their friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoysradt, came from New
York to the Inn last Saturday
to enjoy the soft Southern
balm; and when they went out
of doors they had to bundle up
as if for a dog-sled trip through
the Arctic. The Inn manage
ment, like the rest of us, had
been deceived into thinking
that spring was here; and in the
middle of the night the visitors
had to send an S. O. S. down to
the office for more blankets.
Last week | wrote a piece
gloating over the fine warm
weather, left word for it to be
put on the first page, and start
ed off to Rocky Mount and
Windsor. Whereupon it prompt

ploring the cold, and | have no
doubt that, by the time these
lines reach the public eye, the

Speaking of Hugh Robertson :

York, his chief claim to con-

Travelling East

The fiat sandy lands of east
ern North Carolina possess, for
me, a great charm. Even in
midsummer, when thousands of
the inhabitants flee off to the
Blue Ridge and Maine and Can
ada, | have found the region
agreeable. Of course there is a
lot of progress and hustling in
the east, of the genuine pied
montese variety; but, thank
heaven, the command Forward
March," has not entirely super
seded "As You Were!" There
remains ever a certain delight
full flavor of ease and leisure
which gasoline and concrete
highways and factories and road
side billboards have not been
able to destroy. When halt at
a railway crossing at the end of
a~shaded village street and see
an Atlantic Coast line flyerrush-
ing on toward Florida or New
York at sixty miles an hour, l
feel disposed to say to it: We'll,
go on, damn you'll hope this
place ii never grow big enough
for you to stop here"

upon the cost of laying cables
underground along the business
block from the post-office to
Columbia street.
Some of the existing cables
can remain in use, it is thought,
but some will have to be replac-
ed. A higher voltage is required
for the common battery system.
Of the approximately 400 tele-
phone telephone instruments in
Chapel Hill, the larger part will
have to be scrapped or, possibly,
sold as secondhand equipment
to a small community where the
turn-the-crank process is to be
retained.
AS soon as/Mr. King makes
his report the University will
decide whether or not to install
the new system.

Class of 1902 Reunion
Plans Made for June Gatherings; Mrs
Lawson Will Serve Dinner

One of the University classes
that are to have reunions at this
coming commencement is the
class of 1902. The announce
ment has already been sent out
to the members; the Episcopal
parish house has been reserved
for the dinner on the evening of
Friday, June a; and Mrs. r. B.
Lawson, who fed the class so
heartily at it's Goth reunion in
1922, has consented to serve the
feast again.
Nineteen-two has always had
a large proportion of it's men,
bers at it's gatherings in Chapel
Hill, and a good attendance is
assured.
Under the old scheme the
class would not have had a re-
union until next year, it's 25th
anniversary. But the General
Alumni Association has adopted
the so-called 'Dix reunion
plan," the object of which is to
bring back to the Hill at the
same time the classes that were
in the University together.
Thus, at this commencement,
1901, 1902, and 1908 will all have
reunions.
Brent Drane is the 1902 presi-
dent, and Louis Graves is secre-
tary. Members who have not
yet responded to the bulletin are
asked to communicate with the
secretary, in Chapel Hill, at once
Altogether, about three fifths
OF all the University classes are
to have reunions this coming
June, since this is the "bridging
over" year between the old plan
and the Dix plan. The latter,
which is governed by a definite
schedule prepared for many
years in advance, will go into
operation in 1927.
The holding Of commence
ment at the weekend, June 4 to
7, is expected to bring back an
unusually large number of alum
nj. Class officers and alumni
marshals are to be here tomor-
row Saturday to confer with
Secretary Daniel l.. Grant Of the
General Alumni Association.

The vacation period has its gains
and it's losses for the individual and
for the church. Among it's losses
there is a temptation to laxity, and
in laying aside our responsibilities
we may forget our opportunities and
constant obligations to our Heavenly
Father. The forces of the church be-
come scattered and interest and en-
thusiam dissipated.
In order to reduce these losses to
the lowest possible point we are cal
ling all the members and friends OF
this great church back to its services
and the work of it's organizations on
next Sunday-Home Coming Sun
