May Get New Fire Truck
To Protect Suburbanites
Rats

Variations in the intellect of
rats have recently been engaging
my attention. Why is it that
the rats in my yard walk
readily into traps while those in
my mothers house next door
not only do not get caught but
are even clever enough to eat
the cheese or bacon off the trig-
ger and leave the trap un-
sprung? My rats and hers
seem to be of the same species.
At least, they look exactly alike
to me. Why should mine be
stupid and hers be shrewd?
1t must be that the mentality
of house-dwelling rats is
superior to that of the outdoor
genus, just as college profess
sors are more intellectual than
diteh-diggers and rock-crackers.
My mothers rats are constantly
in an atmosphere of culture.
They amble around upstairs,
where they hear the lodgers,
graduate students in the Uni
versity, conversing about
science, literature, and philo-
sophy, and at meal times they
lurk in the runways of the fold
ing doors and have their minds
stimulated by the table-talk,
My rats, on the contrary, make
their homes in the drain pipes,
the shrubbery, and the crevices
Of the stone walls, and so are un-
touched by cultural influences.
True, they have been seen out
side the window, apparently at
tentive, while Mr.. House was
playing on his mouth-harp, but
somehow this has not seemed to
sharpen their wits. Maybe if
he had played selections from
Mendelssohn and Beethoven in
stead of Turkey in the Straw"
and "The Arkansas Traveller"
the result might have been diff
ferent.
One night not long ago a trap
was set with cheese, in the
house next door, and placed in
a corner of the living room
where rats had frequently been

THE UNIVERSITY
CLOSES; HOLIDAY
SEASON Is HERE
Students Leaving Chapel Hill,
and Village Enters upon
Period of Quietude
REPOsE FOR PROFESSORS

The University's examinations
will be over tomorrow. The
students will leave Chapel Hill
and scatter among their homes
all over the land. And the vii
lage will settle down to a quiet
and peaceful holiday season.
Professors will be able to get
a bit of repose after their labors
of the fall quarter and to regain
vigor for the Forthcoming toll
Of winter. Some of them will
depart, between Christmas and
New Years Day, to attend meet
ings of pathological, philosophi-
cal, sociological, scientific and
other learned societies, leagues
and associations. Some will sit
by the fireside and browse
among the writings of Einstein,
Will Rogers, Edgar Wallace, and
other immortals, varying their
literary pursuits with strolls
along the streets and in the
woods. Some will hunt par
tridges, and some are hoping
the weather will be mild enough
for them to play golf and tennis.
AS always at Christmas, a
few Of the residents will HE
them to New York to listen to
the opera, to see the new plays,
and to mingle with the crowds
in the shops and on the streets
Of the metropolis.
The general somnolence will
be broken into, for day or so
just before the New Year, when
the members Of the American
Historical Association gather
here for their annual conven-
ton. They are to be the guests
both Of the University here and
Duke University, holding part Of
their sessions in Chapel Hill and
part Of them in Durham.
The students will begin to
come back January 2, and the
University will reopen on the
Bird.

Defer Sentence on Hall
Trustees to Decide Next Month on
Fate of Unsafe Building

The decision ON what to do
with Memorial Hall-repair it
or demolish it's to be made
when the University trustees
have their semi-annual meeting
in Raleigh next month. The
executive committee, when it
met day before yesterday in
Governor Gardner's office, voted
to pass the buck to the full
board.
Some of the trustees are said
to fear that alumni Sentiment"
would be offended by demoli-
ton. 1t is likely that such sem
timent is a tigment of the
Imagination. The editor of this
paper has talked to many alum
nj about the matter, and he fails
to find evidence of any appre-
ciable sentimental attachment to
the hall. If anybody would have
that feeling it would be men,
bers of the Battle family, be-
cause of the activity of the late
Kemp p. Battle in promoting
the project 45 years ago; yet a
son and a grandson of his have
expressed the opinion. in the last
few weeks, that the building
should be torn down.
1t has always been unsatis-
factory as an auditorium. The
attempt to hear a speaker in it
involves such a strain that it is
apt to give the hardest man a
headache. To repair it would
be very costly, and when the
repairs were done the building
would be no good. The sooner
it is got out of the way and is
succeeded by a decent audi
torium, the better.
No doubt the trustees want to
exhibit a seemly hesitation about
decreeing its death, but this
hesitation will almost certainly
come to an end at the January
meeting.

May Have Hard Courts
University Considers Laying Of All
Weather Tennis Surfaces

The University may build two
or more all-weather tennis
courts. All-weather meaning
that, as far as the surface is
concerned, they can be played
on in any season. 1t is only
when the rain or snow is falling,
or when the cold is so severe as
to make the muscles numb, that
they cannot be used.
J. P. Kenfeld, the tennis
coach, went to Nashville, Ten
nessee, this week TO inspect
courts made of a composition in
which two Of the ingredients are
tar and sawdust. =. A concrete
court costs around $1,000, but
it is said that one of these COM
position courts can be built for
5000 or thereabouts. And some
tennis experts think this type
givesa better footiDg-less rigid
and therefore more friendly to
the feet. The main question is
whether or not the composition
is durable, and Mr.. Kenfield is
now considering that.
If it is decided to build the
all-weather courts, the hard sur
face will probably be laid upon
some of the present courts east
Of the campus.

The MacRaes Are Here
Former Chapel lillian and Family on
Visit from Maryland

Duncan MacRae, former resi-
dent of Chapel Hill and alum
nus of the University, is here
with Mrs. MacRae, their 10
year-old son, Duncan, and their
4-year-old daughter, Ann. They

He is chief chemist at the
Edgewood Arsenal near Balti-
more, where the chemical war
fare division of the United
States Army conducts its inves-
legations into poison gases. In
this post he succeeded j. f..
Mills, another University of

to spend a night in Richmond.
They have visited Mr.. MacRae's
sister, Mrs. Robert l.. Gray, in
Raleigh, and his niece, Mrs.
Lewis Patton, in Durham. They
expect to leave Chapel Hill to-
morrow.

FOushee and Aldermen Confer
With PrOuty and Edmister
About Fire Protection

q
The purchase of a new fire
truck, to afford protection to
dwellers beyond the corporate
limits, is being considered by the
town government. John Foushee,
Town manager; M. E. Hogan
and P. L. Burch, representing
the board of aldermen; w. F.
Prouty and F. H. Edmister,
representing the colony out
along the Pittsboro highway;
and Mr.. Payne of the American
La France Company discussed
the project at meeting at the
Town Hall Tuesday morning.
The tentative plan is for the
suburbanites to chip in and pay
for the truck; or possibly pay
only a part of what it costs,
since the municipality stands to
benefit from such an addition to
its equipment and may assume
some of the outlay.
1t is realized that there can be
no really adequate protection
until water lines are run out into
the suburbs, and Mr.. Edmister
and Mr.. Prouty are to confer
soon with Charles T. Woollen,
business manager of the Uniyer-
sity, to see if it is practicable
for the University Consolidated
Service Plants to extend the
present mains. Probably a
survey will be made, to de-
termine the cost of such an en-
terprise. The suggestion has
been made that the residents of
the outlying sections pay for the
pipe line extensions, perhaps
distributing their payments over
term of years; but it may be
that the water rentals, and the
prospect of greater rentals with
the growth of the settlements,
will justify the University in
some expenditure of capital for
new construction.
However that question is set
tied, considerable time must
elapse before the mains are laid
and the hydrants set up, and in
the meanwhile the suburbanites
want to obtain such protection
as can be afforded without
water supply. That is to say,
they want to take measures to
meet an existing emergency.
The representative of the La
France Company told the con-
ferees Tuesday about various
kinds of equipment that would
diminish the immediate danger.
One type of truck carries,
besides two 212-gallon soda-acid

Outlay for Fraternity Houses
Made up a Large Proper
tiOn of the Total
By H. D. Carter

Dy II. ~. carter
A backward glance at the
building operations carried on
in Chapel He'll, for the year now
closing, shows the expenditure
of rather more than three quar-
ters of a million dollars for
buildings and other improve
ments.
The University has completed
and occupied the new library
and also Bingham Hall, and. has
the old Library alterations, to
equip the building for the uses
of the music department, almost
finished, although the new music
auditorium has not been started.
Rooms have been built on the
top floor of Spencer Hall. Ex-
tensive work has been done on
the grading, walks, and cutters
of the south campus. Parking
space has been made to the
south Of the new library, and
Route 81 provided with concrete
paving from Pittsboro road to
the Country Club road. This
road now has sidewalks, and the
adjacent land has been graded.
Fraternity house building has
been unusually active, nine
houses being either built or un-
der construction with housing
facilities for $50 students. These
structures represent an aggre-
gate outlay Of about $320,000
exclusive of the furnishing. A
list of fraternity houses finished
or begun in 1929 follows;
Pi Kappa Phi, Pittsboro road;
Phi Delta Theta, Pittsboro road ;
Beta Theta Pi, Columbia street;
Phi Gamma Delta, Cameron
avenue; Kappa Sigma, Cameron
avenue; Kappa Alpha, Cameron
avenue; Alpha Tau Omega,
Franklin street; Sigma Epsilon,
Rosemary street;VDelta Sigma
Pi, Rosemary street.
Among the citizens whose
dwellings were completed in
1929 are:
English Bagby, Pittsboro
road; Miss COrnelia S. Love,
Rocky Ridge road; r. M. Grum-
man, Hillview road; J. M.
Gwynn, North street; Morgan
F. Vining, North street; H. F.
Munich, Forest Hill; William
Steene, Tenny Circle; DR.. r. r.
Clark, Durham road; P. II.
Wager, University Drive; DIR.
George w. Lay, The Glenn.
There are also some new cot
tages about the village. The
approximate expenditure for
dwellings has been about $685.
900.
Other projects carried to-
completion are the tavern build
ings on the Durham road, the
grading, walling, and grassing
of the cemetery addition, and
some filling stations. Altogether
not so bad for an off year. AS
to the coming year, anyone hav-
ing building project in mind
would do well to start at once,
since laborers and craftsmen
are numerous and unemployed,
and material prices are off due
TO lack Of demand.
