University Prepares to
Start Buildins Program
Calling for Expenditure
Of About $40. 100000

AS result Of the appropria-
tions made by the recent legis-
lature, the University is about
to embark on a building program
far greater than any it has ever
undertaken before.
(All figures in this article are
for the University here in
Chapel Hill; they have nothing
to do with State College and the
Woman's College.)
Counting in the unexpended
money voted by the 1947 legis-
lature - unexpended because
construction costs were so high
that they could not be covered
by the appropriations - the
amount to be NIT into h.,;Ikinn.a
in the next two years stands at
about $4,000, 900.
This exceeds by about $2,-
100000 the cost of all the build
ings (including the $4,000, 900
for the new Morehead building)
erected by the University in its
entire life of 156 years.
The appropriations for build
ings by this years legislature
amount to $12,184,OOO, made up
of $6.O42.5OO to supplement the
l947 appropriations tie, to
make those appropriations cover
the cost of the buildings for
which they were made) and $6,-
l4l,500 for new buildings. The
latter amount includes $1,000
600 for a dentistry school build
ing, which was added by the
legislature to the amount recon-
mended by the Advisory Budget
Commission. This is the only
change from the commissions
recommendation.
ct should be explained that
the term buildings" as used
here, embraces some equipment
and also improvements in the
form of walks, roads, electric
lines, and sewer lines.)

that the dog let him alone. The day

you get austere with diet. you

simpliled your taste and that. as
with other newly arrived fellow
countrymen of mine, I am literal
lily appalled, when something
wholesome, like a steak, confronts
me.
At Least, They're Well.
I'm other words" Leslie went
on. I'VE have found in England
that frugality and simplicity in

as a six-course meal. English
children are nonny as never before

lost with us. at least We keep
WELL"
Speaking of other public well
fare regulations in England, the
actor thought there was general
misapprehension here concerning
the plight of physicians under So
cialized medical practice.
They must. Of course, conform
to the law" he said. but this does
not mean they may not have their
private practice also. They do
have it. For example, in my own
family We have our physician Of
years standing to whom We 60
or he comes to us-when needful.
And this is generally the case. All
English practitioners have their
private practice just as always.
What happens now is that the
number of those they treat is am
plified under the socialized medi-
cine code. So, while it is none of
my business, cannot see why
American doctors are worrying so.
However, I do admit that the
general extension of government
paternalism has an extremely bad
feature in that, noticeably, it is
tending to diminish incentive and
individual impulse among my
countrymen. Tendency to have is
vanishing and all reliance is being
placed upon the government to

In the living room Of her Beverly

Typhoid Mary or just plain

was-ready, willing and more
than able to go to work. And the
phone refused to ring.
Then. suddenly, the telephone
rang twice. Alexis Smith refused
the lead role in The Shoplifter. u
and she was suspended by her
Warner bosses. Andrea said yes.

In THE Shoplifter," Andrea
gets her most dramatic role to

will be no more waiting at the
telephone for jobs to ring in.

Free-Lancing Has Changed.
What makes it even better. ?"
says Andrea, "is that Universal
International Is now dickering
with my agent to put me under a
long term contract"
Andrea has been free-lancing
since she left Warner Bros. at
the close of 1945. and free-lancing
in Hollywood these days Is not
like it used to be. Good roles are
few and far between. free-lance
players are making what they call
''no-quote" deals, that Is, working
for far less than their customary
price and swearing the producers
to secrecy about 1t so that their
price doesn't fall too low.
You'll find q lot Of free-lance

hear them saying, Baby, it's cold
outside!'"
Andrea, who is beautiful either
as a blond or brunette. can be
convincing either as a bad girl
or a good one on the screen. Dur
ing her three years under contract
to Warmers, she was considered
a sort of younger sister to Bette
Davis. "They expected me to
grow into her type Of roles" says
Andrea.
At the beginning Warner

she got her first star billing, with
Dennis Morgan in God Is My

looked like Lillian Russell, Andrea
was given the Lillian Russell role

Her pride took q beating when
they told her she was getting a

one else. But she kept her chin

in Ride the Pink Horse" with
Robert Montgomery and Wanda

lures simultaneously, "Mr. Pea

Then came the hull. For no ap-

probably because fewer pictures
were being produced-Andrea sat

This has been a tough fort
night. getting Jimmy Durante onto
Broadway and getting Joe E. Lewis
out Of town.
These two top flight comedians
have exchanged places in the
fabulous floor show at the Copa-
cabana revue, nocturnal show
which presents the equivalent Of a
"Ziegfield Follies" Of the 1920's on
a capsule floor where two blondes
are a crowd.
Durante, that man with an un-
fiinching nose, peered about his
audience and concentrated on two
cuties at his side attired in f1imsy
costumes. He gazed at one cur
vaceous figure and inquired. in a
formal manner. Where are you
from, honey?" She answered:
Texas" He asked the same ques-
ton Of the next and got the same
answer: Texas"
Durante turned Indignantly to
the audience and summed up his
diagnosis: And they call Texas a
fiat State"
Watching Durante in rehearsal

cap with the long nose and a
scrambled accent. For a show that
requires his services for only 9
