Hobbs Off to Atlanta
Conference Committee Will Consider
Plea of Junior Colleges

"A. w. Hobbs left for Atlanta
last night to attend a meeting OF
the executive committee of the
Southern Intercollegiate Confer
ence this evening and tomorrow
morning.
The chief matter that is to be
discussed is the question Of
whether or not graduates of ju-
nior colleges may play on var
sity teams in their first year at
a Conference institution. AS it
is now they come under the gen
eral rule that prohibits any stu
dent from playing until his sec
ond year.
The graduate of a junior col
lege who enters the University
of North Carolina is qualified to
become a member of the junior
class, Under the one-year rule,
therefore, he has only one year
to participate in intercollegiate
athletics before graduation.
Several Of the junior colleges
have voiced objections to this
limitation. Mars Hill, North
Carolina, is one place where the
students want to be relieved
from the operation Of the rule.
The Chapel Hill weekly. [volume] (Chapel Hill, N.C.) 1923-1972, 1927-02-25

With this number the Chapel
Hill Weekly ends it's fourth
year. 1t was established March
/, 1923, and next weeks issue
will be Number l of Volume 5.
The first seven or eight issues
of the paper were printed in
Durham. In May of 1923 a limo
type machine, presses, and 9TH
er equipment were installed in
the basement of the StroWd
building, beneath Sutton & AL
derman's drugstore, and the
printing was done there for a
year and four months.
These quarters proved to be
unsuitable. In the first place,
they were cramped. And then,
whenever there was a hard rain,
the water poured in. The flood
of August, 1924, covered the
basement floor with water more
than a foot deep.
Before this | had bought a lot
on Rosemary lane back of the
hardware store-a lot that used
to be the rear part of Miss Belle
Hutchins' property. In Septem-
ber a one-story brick building
was completed here, and the
plant was transferred in time
to be in operation at the opening
of the college term. 1t happened
that at this time a Burlington
printing company, possessed of
much modern equipment, went
out of business, and from there
a new job press, stones, a cast
ing box, types, and other useful
material were brought in to sup

plement the equipment that had
been shifted from the Strowd
building. A few months ago a
second linotype machine was in
stalled.
University students have had
a large part in the printshop
operations. Cyrus w. Bazemore
set up the first job in 1928, and
he is still here. Since his grad
uation last June he has been the
boss "floor man." He was one
of the editors of the Tar Heel,
and as the printer who prepares
it for the press he still maintains
an intimate connection with that
publication. Robert p. Moore of
Statesville came in as part
time worker in his freshman
year, and now he is running one
of the linotypes. Students who
now serve the shop are Girard
E. Boudreau of Massachusetts,
who is in the engineering school;
]. N. Callahan, and A. M. Davis.
The chief linotype operator is
Elmer Harrington, who came to
the printshop from Sanford in
the spring of 1924 and has been
here ever since. Not only does
he operate machine, but he
knows how to cajole one back
into good behavior when it has
lapsed into wicked habits. A
newcomer in the shop is Rowland
M. Pittman. Seiss Taylor comes
in occasionally to help out.
The printing department of the
WeeklY is conducted under the
name of the orange PrintSh0p.

Mr.. Hughes's Big Tent
Successful Evangelist Arranges to
Accommodate Big Crowds

Rev. w. G. Hughes, the evan
gelist who lives in Chapel Hill,
has bought him a tent big
enough to seat 1000 people. 1t
requires the support of A poles.
Thus far Mr.. Hughes has con-
Quoted his meetings by himself,
but his success in drawing
crowds within the last year or
so, and his acquisition of this
capacious tent, leads some of his
friends to think that he may
come to have singers and other
assistants-that is, an organiza-
tion like that of Rev. Billy Sun
day.
He got the tent in Kentucky,
and he will probably make his
first use of it in or near Rich
mond, Virginia, in May.
He returned a few days ago
from a series of meetings which
he held in Woodland, Virginia.
Here he won 67 converts and 200
reconsecrations.

100 LegiOnnaires
This Post Has Big Increase in Mem
bership; Previous Record, 50

The Chapel Hill post of the
American Legion now has 100
members. Until this year the
membership had never gone be-
yond So.
The increase is due to a cam
paign that was carried on under
the direction of Commander J.
%. Harmon. He divided the per-
Sonnel of the post into two teams
which competed in the signing
up of the county's World War
veterans. One team was headed
by Charles Martindale, the other
by Paul Robertson. The an
nouncement of the result of the
canvass was received with
cheers at the Legion supper in
the Episcopal parish house last
Friday evening.
This was a merry gathering.
The women of the Auxiliary,
with Mrs. Featherston in
charge, served a delicious meal.
1t pleased the ex-soldiers so
much that, out of gratitude, they
voted that the next meeting
would be a party at which the
women would be the guests of
honor.
Mr.. Harmon was the fluent
and breezy toastmaSter. At pres
ent the chief of the University
eating place, Swain Hall, he told,
IN the course of his. remarks,
now he had made his start as a
purveyor of food. AT Greenville,
South Carolina, in 1918, he vol
lnteered to serve as a waiter at
a banquet to a group of high
officers and political bigwigs
and their wives who were visit
ing the camp. On his first trip
around the table he dumped a
pie in the lap of a colonels wife,
and on his second he emptied a
plate of soup down major gen
erals neck.
