Tom WOlfe's Novel
Look Homeward, Angel" Is Title of
Book by University AIumnus

Tom Wolfe's first novel, Look
HomeWard, Angel, has just come
off the press of Charles Scrib-
ner's Sons.
Mr.. Wolfe revealed his tai
ents as a writer when he was a
student in the University. He
was editor of the Tar Heel and
was one of the original men,
bers of the Carolina Playmakers.
After his graduation here in
1920, at the age of 10, he en-
gagged in graduate work in Har-
ward. He Travelled and studied
in Europe, and recently he be-
came a member of the faculty
of New New Y ork ORR University. II lie
has just returned to the North
from a visit to his mother and
sister in Asheville.
His novel presents a picture
of a strange family of Southern
ers. Although North Carolina
is not mentioned, nobody who
knows anything Of the authors
early life will have any trouble
in recognizing this state as the
scene of the story.

A visitor who has had some
experience with college towns
recently remarked that the two
prettiest in America are Chapel
Hill, North Carolina, and An
dover, Massachusetts.
What does University alum
nus who left the Hill 25 years
ago think of it? We have never
been in Andover, but if it equals
Chapel Hill in the spring, when
the spirea and jessamine hang
out their white wreaths and yel-
low bells, or in October, when
the naples, sweet gums, dog
woods, ashes, and hickories, like
rockets, send up one last flare,
we hope we shall live to see it.
Let us be thankful for small
mercies, and be glad that, If
Chapel Hill had to submit to
progress, progress has not
ruined it or even inflicted upon
it the kind of indecorum that
occurs, say, when a white-haired
old lady chooses to appear In a

Georgia alumni who had been
in doubt about coming to Chapel
Hill were in doubt no longer,
and Monday morning a flood of
orders for tickets poured into
the office of Graduate Manager
Charles T. Woollen. It con-
tinued to pour during the week,
and now people are predicting
that the crowd at the Virginia
game In 1927-when the Kenan
stadium overflowed upon the
adjacent Milsides--will be
equaled and perhaps exceeded.
There are other happenings to
draw the public to Chapel Hill.
The new library will be dedi-
Gated with elaborate ceremonies
tomorrow morning in Memorial
hall; and many of the delegates
to the Southern Educational
Conference, which begins its
sessions Monday, have made
their plans to reach here In time

DECISION FOR PLAINTIFF IS
 GIVEN BY MILL
Miss Goldstein an d Mrs. Simpson Win Law Suit
 for Pond Building

In a decision handed down by Judge E. Coke Hill at Valdez, on August 19 Miss Minnie Goldstein and Mrs. Belle c. Simpson were awarded the E. P Pond property on Front Street at the corner of Admiral Way. This was made known today with the filing of the judgment in the case, which was heard before Judge Hill here last November.
 It orders specific performance" of the contract agreement, payment of $50 per month damages to Miss Goldstein and Mrs. Simpson since May 1, 1927, and payment of $500 attorney fees to their counsel, Hell lenthal & Hellenthal.
 How Case Arose
 The case arose over an agree ment made between the plaintiffs and MT. Pond by which the latter was to have sold the property to Miss Goldstein and Mrs. Simpson for the sum of $11, ,000 A memo randum agreement was signed by MT. Pond, stipulating that the up stairs of the building and certain rooms used as dark rooms for pho tcgraphic development on the flrts floor. should be leased to Wi-iter & Pond Company for S25 per month It %as specified that the lease, however, was not transfer able.
 MT. Pond later rejected money oI- fcred in payment on the agree ment and refused to go through with the deal. Miss Goldstein ard Mrs. Simpson then sued to compel that the contract be carried out. The case came up for trial Novem- Der l2, 1928. Evidence was intro duced and the matter then sub nitted on briefs, Hellenthal & Hel- lenthal representing the plaintiffs and Judge James Wickersham the defendant.
 COntracIuai ABreemcHt
 Judge Hill decided that the con- tractual agreement was valid and binding upon MT. Pond. He de- nied there had been any showing of fraud in obtaining the contract, as alleged by Judge Wickershams brief, saying specifically in his written opinion that mo false rep resentations of any kind were made to him
 Concerning the contract itself, Judge Hill said.
 4It sufficiently describes the property to be conveyed. It is a contract for the conveyance Of that propel ty from the owner thereof to the persons named, for a definite sum to be paid at definite time. It is upon a valu- able consideration, to-wit, Sll,0O0 and the value of certain reserved rights. This Court finds that 1t was reasonably fair, equal and just in it's terms and circumstances, and that the remedy of specific per- formance, will not be harsh or op- pressive. A decree for its specific performance would not be nuga- tory. and the court is able to en- force it's decree when made" This, he concluded, fulfills contractual requirements.
 Further, he added, there had been a meeting of minds between the parties involved but that later the defendant changed his mind.
