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.
