Chapel Hill Chaf

When new President of the
University was to be chosen to
succeed Harry w. Chase. two
years ago last spring, a delega-
tion of Charlotte citizens ap-
peared before a committee Of the
trustees in Raleigh to urge the
election of Frank Graham. DR.
Otho Ross was one Of the spokes-
men of the delegation, and in
the course of his remarks he
spoke Of Mr.. Graham's physical
condition.
"He has a sound constitution,
said DR.. Ross Il can say this
with certainty, because | have
examined him thoroughly. He
has been in my office often. |
have given him all sorts of tests.
| have put a stomach pump IN
him and, Just because | loved
him SO and wanted to have him
around, | have left the pump
there an hour or SO at time.

LIVELY SCENE AT NIGHT

Chapel Hills main street is
gaily decorated for Christmas.
When darkness falls and the
electric current is turned on, the
store fronts are lit up with stars,
and Wreaths, and Christmas
trees, and figures Of Santa Claus,
and reindeer, and borders of ce-
dar sprinkled with red and green
lights, and various fanciful de-
signs that are the fruit of the
Christmas spirit and the skill OF
the modern illumination expert.
For two or three weeks Tom
Rosemond and his assistants, un-
der th2 watchful guidance of
j. s. Bennett, fabricated their
pictures of wood and tin and
glass and cardboard, and attach
ed bulbs, spread on paints of
many colors, and went up and
down the street with tools and
bundles of wire, and clambered
up ladders and in and out of WIN
dows. And now they may rest
from their labors, proudly sur
vey their handiwork, and enjoy
the plaudits of the populace.

The trustees committee,
charged with selecting a vice
president for. the Chapel Hill
unit of the new consolidated
University, met Monday and
agreed unanimously upon Louis
K. Wilson. 1t was an excellent
choice. Mr.. Wilson'S character
and abilities, his thorough ia
miliarity with the University ;
problems, and the high regard
in which he is held by the facul-
ty here and by educators
throughout North Carolina,
make him the ideal man for the
place. And because of their al
fection for him, quite aside
from any reasons that have to
do with his task, the. people OF
this community look forward
with delight to his return.
Nobody is more eager than
we are to see Mr.. Wilson back
with the University which he
served so long and 50 well, but
we wish that his return We're
not coupled with his appoint
ment to the vice-presidency IN
Chapel Hill. 1t is an office
which probably should not have
been created at all and which
certainly should not have been
filled until opinion about consol-
idation became more firmly
crystallized
The plain truth is that the
consolidated University is a
one-man idea and one-man
creation with no discernible pub
lie sentiment behind it. We
have heard Of nobody but Gov
ff-ff4f47 ff4f47 Gardner ii A.hfe " he feels n taeHt .eas
enthusiasm about it. When he
proposed it, men most prOmln-
emily connected with the UnlVer-
sity did not want to oppose 1t
because they did not want the
institution to be placed III the
apparent position of cllnglng TO
its separateness and dominance
al the expense Of the states ed
ucatiOnal interests as 4 whole.
How these interests We're to be
advanced by consolidation was
not evident then and, 50 far as
we have been able to learn, has
not been made evident since.

University Consolidation

The Governor rammed conSOll-
dation down the states throat,
and the state. unaware what 1t
was all about and more than
little dazed. gulped and swallow
ed it.
The consolidation law called
for committee of 'outside eX-
rerts that is, educators of the
highest standing, from outside Of
North Carolina-to make a sur
Vey and submit a report. The
law also provided for q commits
SION headed by the Governor, and
including representatives of the
three institutions to be merged,
to pass upon the plan of the eX-
perts. The experts made their
survey and submitted their re-
port. And what did the Cover
nor and his commission do with
he report? Why, they promptly
threw overheard the most thor
oughgoing of its recommends
tions They decided upon COM
promise which would bring into
existence a few new offices and
do away with a few minor dupll-
cations.
We have no quarrel with this
decision. Under the clrcum-
stances-three separate lnstltu-
tions already in existence; each
with its own physical plant that
had cost several million dollars !,
each with its own scheme Of or
ganization, reached after years
Of development each with It's
traditions and loyaltleS, ana us
own body of alumni bound TO it

integrity-under these clrcum-
stances such a compromise was
inevitable. But it dld not
go far enough. The commission
would have done better to aban-
don the plan Of a consolidated
University under single chief
executive, Just as it abandoned
so many Of the experts recon-
mendations which did not please
it, and to retain merely the
scheme Of control by a consoll-
dated board Of trustees.

The New Chevrolet
Goes an Disnlax InmurrnM lnmn nanA
Is Hopeful of Big Sales

Chevrolet's new 1888 models
will go on public display tomor-
row Saturday. Louis Mae
MILAN, the dealer here, is going
to have one Of them in his show
room at the corner Of Rosemary
lane and Henderson street.
"It is still too early to estimate
the retail orders now on hand, "
says H. j. klingler, vice presi-
dent of the Chevrolet company,
since the company's policy is to
receive field reports only at
Today intervals. Dealer orders
for the first consignment of So
900 display cars have been plac-
ed. Interest in the 'no-draft'
ventilation, the increased wheel
base, and other new features is
resulting in what appears to be
the largest accumulation of pre-
announcement orders on record" "
The first public display Of the
new cars will add $4,000 mem
bers of the sales organizations to
those thousands already en-
ployed on the new line.

YEARS BUILDING
PUT AT $2O5,OOO
BY H. D. CARTER
In View of the Depressed Con-
ditions, Construction Here
Has Been Considerable
FAIR PROSPECT FOR 1888

Toward the end Of December,
for several years; at the request
Of the editor Of the Weekly, |
have reported upon the cost Of
building construction in Chapel
Hill since the preceding first Of
January, and now again | am
asked to make such a survey.
OF course the depression has
had he eff eet off off cutting down a a H
ventures requiring an outlay OF
money, and building has suffer
ed along with the rest. Yet, in
view of conditions throughout
the country as a whole, there has
been considerable activity in and
around this village.
The largest building operation
this year was the University
dam. Although the dam is some
distance beyond the town limits,
out to the west of CarrbOro, it
is properly to be included in the
Chapel Hill record. Most Of the
men employed on the job were
from Chapel Hill. The amount
expended on this project was
$4,000.
Among the dwellings erected
in 1882 are those Of ID. y. Car
T0II, &. T. FusSIer, {. T. Sprulll,
Miss Katherine Jocher, K. d.
Herndon, Miss Elizabeth Balm,
w. G.. PriVette, Mary Graves
Rees.
other construction projects,
including alterations and addl-
tions, were those OF n b..
Adams, Mrs. G. +. Crawford, Joe
Dawson, Pickney GalashaW, A.
w. Hobbs, w. J Mckee, Mrs.
Fred Patterson K. +. Stalnback,
the S, 2. +. fraternity, and the
Chapel Hill school.
There were several extensive
painting jobs-the Carolina Inn,
+. W Zimmerman, St Anthony 5
Hall, and r. + Rainey.
| estimate the total building
construction for the year at
$2O5, 600. For the three years
before this one the record is:
1929, $750,000; 1880, $484, 900;
1881, $297, 900 Thus the aver
age for four years is S434, 900.
The prospects for 1888 are
fair. hear Of ten or a dozen
citizens who think Of building

 Early in the war, he realized the danger to Austria hungary and tried to persuade Sthe Central Powers to seek an advantageous peace while there was time. Again he failed.

Croft of Plymouth did not go inside the sick room be- cause his wife did not want to see him. he testified this morning in the common pleas court during the trial of his $10.000 alienation of affection suit against George H. Chapman of Terryville. The plain tiff testified he had. visited his wife in the hospital but she had ordered him not to come again. Still, he said, he made daily visits and sent the flowers into the sick room by his daughter Lorraine, While he waited outside,
 The court room was crowded with every seat taken, by residents of Plymc uth and Bristol where the parties in the suit are very well known. Judge Edward J.
