Ji McHail, a member of the library staff, has some in teresting example of mistreat- ment of books in the library. A book of English. Drama; written by Nathaniel Lee and publish ed in 1733, had a complete play torn out of it. This book was valuable, but now the value is somewhat lessened: It is evident that there are some people who don't like either- detective stor- ies or the University library. Here is a quotation Which had been typewritten on the title page, "This is a hell of - a detec tive story book. It is a mystery to me how anyone could go wild over it. - The University library is not worth a j tinker's dam though."; u r . Some, of the folks who don't like books have a sense of hu mor, however, according to C. J. McHail of the library. Some students borrowed a book entit led Traveling Through Asia. When the book . was returned, this addition had been inked after the title, "on a Mule." Ra fael Sabatini"s Carolinian had so many pages torn from it that it had to be , discarded. Then there are the persons who like to underscore and underline state ments in books. Such people will sometimes ruin a book by" mak ing marks on practically every page, . -.' ;.v . .The, books which contain handsome plates and engravings are often minus the plates or en gravings on being retured to the library. Then there is the problem of those books which are considered "hot" or "dar ing," These books are usually stolen, if they are not closely watched. Even reference books are'not immune from mutilation. Certain volumes of encycloped ias have been badly marked, y . Magazines are taken from the reading room and articles are clipped from them.- . According to several people in the student body it is quite correct to form a personal library from the books which canbe stolen from the University. BYRD FILM FEATURES BENEFIT PERFORMANCE Under the auspices of the Leonidas Pope chapter of the United Daughters . of. the Con federacy a . return showing of the Admiral Byrd film taken in the antarctic regions, "With Byrd At The South ; Pole," will be featured at the Carolina theatre on Sunday afternoon at 3 :Q0 o'clock. The admision is free, but a collection - will be taken up to aid in forming a scholarship for some worthy high school graduate of 1931 The members; of the local chapter are also giving a Hallo we'en festival at the Tin Can tonight, to aid them in raising funds for this purpose. - -SOURCE C7 n,IDSEr,W FOS All ProFs Puns,' Selden's Golden Voice, Prospective Algernons and Jacks, Peculiar English Accents, Together With Nervous Freshmen Awed by Sacred Playmakers Con- ; sidered Great Fun by Spectators.

Last' Wednesday night, all the aspiring dramatic jenderes into North Carolinian of fine old British dramas were on hand most of them with that sinking feeling, at the pit of the stom ach, which comes to each and every one of us, while a few were wrapped in the- beautiful sheath of self-confidence and knowledge that comes only with experience as a former Play maker, or a graduate student in" English. . Many of them there were too, who patiently waiting their, turn, tried to appear un concerned and used to. it all, as they nervously, fingered the pledge pins on their coat lapels, and dreamt longingly of those first nights when the Tobacco ville High School Dramatic As sociation's presentation v of "Come out of the Kitchen"' was Program Of Education Conference FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31 v.
