a Bird Sanctuary
Organization Being Fermed to Man
age | niversity's New Lake

An organization is being
formed to take over the man
agement Of the University'S new
lake as a sanctuary for water
fowl. The pro ject was initiated
by the Chapel Hill Ornithologi-
cal Club of which the officers are
Eugene Odum, Colt Coker, and
Billy Hunt.
The plan depends, of course,
upon the Cniversity's consent.
A petition is being submitted to
the trustees at their meeting
here at commencement. Col
onel Pratt is helping the boys
draft this petition, and at the
same time he is going to pre-
sent a similar petition proposing
that Battle Park be taken over
by the association of citizens
which has recently been active
in caring for it.
Waterfowl will naturally be
attracted to the new lake, and
the idea of the bird club is to
provide a safe wintering place
for them. They will spread to
nearby smaller bodies of water
where possibly hunting will be
allowed.
The idea is to make the lake
and its surroundings a beauty
spot. Paths will be built and
shrubs will be planted. Later
on there may be established a
biological experiment station.

discharged Tuesday.
The notices they received
from the school board, inform
ing them. that their services
would not be needed next year,

talk and speculation as to the
reasons for the boards decision

or three days. He will come in
his Aeronca monoplane with
which he won the junior light

sue aviation as a hobby. He
has done considerable barn

he will probably make some ex-
