Simms Addn Authoress Corr Reading Public H Dr. Babcock's English classe dressed last Satur(lay by Mis Charlotte, N. C. Miss Simma Desk" and gave many intierestii a writer. She also corrected a so many of the reading pul)lic literally a 'bd of roses,' that self at his 'trusty typewvriter' ai ly. But according to Miss Simnms, the above is definitely not so. "Writing is Hard Work" "WVriting is hard work and a pain in the neck," she stated. But ii surely must be an interesting pain in the neck to Miss Sinmms, for she has to her credit, to date five novels and thirty or forty short stories. Her stories dlepict life in the middle class of southern cities. Trhe reason for her choice of thuis type of character is that the pre war southern plot has been ex ploited enough, and she also wished to write about something which hadn't been done before. When her first book came out, the people of Charlotte were terribly shocked; they thought that she was writing about them. They also had the pre-conceived idea that she was a meek, little woman wvho was not supposed to know or even think of things 'off color.' At this point. she related a rather amusing inci dent which occurredl after the pub lication of one of her books. She and her husband, a prominent city judge of Charlotte, were at the Charlotte Country Club one evening, and the only table available to them was near one at which six of Char lotte's 'first families' were seated. Trhey were discussing authors, and one of the women at the table was near-sighted, and had not glimpsed Miss Simms sitting nearby. One of the party mentioned Margaret Mitchell, and the nearsighted lady exclaimed, "If you think "Gotte With the Wind" is terrible, you should read Marian Simms' new book!" At once all five heads came together and emitted an audible shhl But Miss Simms was not a bit nonplused. She merely said, "Please speak a little louder, I can't hear everything you are saying." However, when Miss Simms and her husband were leaving, the hus band of the near-sighted, tactless lady apologized for his wife, saying that she had not read the book and that he was sure that once she had read it, she would change her mind.

Rains Do Not Halt Work On New Buildings Despite heavy rains and general ly inclement weather, rapid prog ress is being made on Carolina's two new dormitories. Pouring of concrete for the first floor of the new fireproof women's building, located on Devine street between Bull and Pickens, is nearly complete. It is expected-that work on the walls up to the second floor will begin soon after the concrete of the first floor has set. Construction Begun Brick-laying on the walls of the men's dormitory, on Green street, was begun recently, and is progress ing satisfactorily. Hollow tile is being used for part of the walls of this building, while brick is the ma terial being used on the women's dormitory. Both buildings are scheduled to be completed by the opening of the session next fall. Contracts have been let setting a definite schedule for construction. President J. Rion McKissick said that no additional information had been received by him relative to the start of construction of the pro )osed new library building for the University. However, he said that something definite might be known next week. He refuted a rumor to the effect that the amount pf money allotted for the new library had been reduced. Hibbs is Architect The architect for the new library, Henry C. Hibbs, was here two weeks ago for a conference about the new buildings. President McKissick said that a meeting of the Building and Grounds committee of the Board of Trustees was scheduled for next Wednesday to discuss the situa tion. .sses Classes cts False Ideas as About Writers s had the privilege of being ad s Marian Simms, authoress', of ; spoke on "Behind a Writer's ig points from the viewpoints of grave inisapprehelnsion held by of today-that a writer's life is Ell he has to do is to seat him id pound out a story immiediate Simma' New Book Miss Simms' latest book is "Call It F'reedom," which concerns the crucial ycars of a woman's life after she has been divorced.
