Y- VOLUME XXXIX MADKYWEFl Tire mi NEW; ilk3 Kews Bureau Head Is Author of Article In 'The Epsilog," Col lege Publishers Magazine. "In their effort to suppress the unfavorable news stories that originate on their campi, a great many educational insti tutions are injuring their 'rela tions with the public and press," comments Robert W; Madry, director of the University news bureau, in an article published recently in The Epsilog, college publishers' magazine. In this article, Madry points out the attitude of the news bureau on the subject of sup pressing news. The;, policy of the University's news service, he says, is absolute non-censorship of the press, because of the fact that news suppressed will leak out and do more harm in the form of rumors and that a story suppressed will be played up more by the press whenfinal ly, published; . "And yet there are corres pondents in some educational in stitutions throughout the coun try trying to suppress news day in and day out. Of course most of their efforts are futile, for real news gets to the newspa pers by one method or another. And if it is not sent out straight at first, it is frequently badly garbled in transmission. Us ually one paper gets the story first. The others are x 'scoop ed You know the rest. Such a correspondent doesn't last long in the confidence of the news editor, Madry goes, on to say. The news bureau director speaks from six years exper ience with the University when he says: "What part the newTs service has played in the tre mendous growth of the institu tion is a matter for speculation, (Continued on page two) Bradshaw Collects Diata on Freshmen To secure direct facts for gen eral information and for his talk Friday night before the assem bled alumni in regard to per sonal service rendered to the in dividual student here, Dean F. F. Bradshaw asked each fresh man in chapel yesterday morn ing to fill out an anonymous card giving specific instances in his college career that advice had been given him, stating by whom, when given, and how many times given. All informa tion and advice that had been re ceived in regard to loan funds, religious affairs, self-help work, fraternity matters, vocations, courses, how to study, health, or miscellaneous affairs were to be included. . : Mr. Bradshaw also continued to stress the importance of avoiding procrastination in ap plying for loans or self-help work during the next quarter. Dawson and Gooch Open New Restaurant Scarcely had the news of the closing of Tom Gooch's cafe ap peared before his son, C. E. Gooch and his son-in-law, M. Dawson, decided that it would not do for the town of Chapel Hill to be without a Gooch owned and operated restaurant, and so they took over control of the former Anilorac Cafe. Both of these men are experienced in cafeteria work; Gooch worked as general, manager of his fa ther's cafe, whilp.' Dawson also HIP occupied a position in the em-; served and a large assortment of j mark all -such parcels "Perish Ploy of Tom Gooch. Christmas gifts will be on sale. 'able." Use special - delivery Freshman Council Urged To Maintain High Moral -Level The freshman friendship council held a brief but interest ing meeting Monday night. John Lang, president of the State Federation of Students, gave a short talk to the members on the subject of Carolina ideals. He urged that those present should inspire others by their actions to uphold the Carolina tradition of gentlemanly conduct at all times, but especially at the coming foot ball event this Saturday. - "To carry out the tradition of upright character, clean sports manship, and to give a square deal to his opponents is the privilege, as well as the duty, of every Carolina man, Lang said. In closing he stated that if each man acted the part of a gentle man, nothing would occur to the discredit of the school. In inaugurating the sale of Christmas seals on the campus, Ed Lanier pointed out the true worth, of the cause. In his talk he showed the need of helping all those ;. thousands who t are making the greatest fight oi all in their struggle against tuber culosis. ' The main speaker of the even ing was Reverend A. S. Law rence of the Chapel Hill Episco pal church. In an inspiring message he urged that in the college democracy a highest-common-denominator should be established instead of a lower one. it is the tendency, when m a crowd, to lower the moral tone of the gatherings r instead of raising it. This, he said, should be remedied by reducing the popular tendency to be alike in morals and ideals, as well as in thought and speech. , He showed that .the very best type of de mocracy is one in which each man contributes his best and thus raises the whole to a higher plane. V 1 It was unanimously voted that President Frank Graham should be invited to meet with the council in its next meeting. Y CABINETS MEET IN JOINT SESSION The sophomore, junior, and senior Y cabinets convened in a joint session Monday night; After some especial business matters had been discussed, a letter from George H. Lawrence, Orange County superintendent of public welfare, was read as a report on the recent relief fund drive. It was announced that this drive would be followed up by an old-clothes collection to be made before Christmas. The Detroit faculty-student conference, to be held in Decem ber, was discussed with the pos sibility in view of sending a quota of ten men as representa tives. No definite decision was made about the matter. A report by Sam Gorham, chairman of the student volun teer group on the campus, was heard concerning the recent group meeting. Plans were made for the meeting this winter. v The program was concluded with a talk by Beverly Moore on "Social Problems in.North Caro lina."

C, WEDNESDAY, DECE3IBER 3, 1930 Student Radio Station Will Celebrate Tenth Anniversary -o- On the first floor of Phillips hall there exists under the di rection of the engineering, de partment an amateur, radio sta tion which plays an interesting part in the life of the school. The station is named W4WE and has been in existence since 1921, The name was assigned by the' government when a , license was obtained for the station. The tenth anniversary of the founding of the institution will take place shortly. There is ho radio department in the University, so the opera tors have to obtain their ex perience outside of school. The station is under the direction of Professor J. E. Lear, head of the electrical engineering de partment. However, active con trol is given the operator in charge of the station. Records of messages being transmitted have been kept since 1925." G. M. Rose and T. B. Smiley did a great deal to build the equipment for the sta tion and were largely responsible for bringing the station to its present high standard of effi ciency. They were at Chapel Hill until the summer of 1928. At present four or five men are licensed to operate the station. Station W4WE operates in all amateur bands. It has conduct ed two-way communications with stations in all parts of the world. Some of the most interesting countries with which it has com municated are : Alaska, Mexico, Nicaragua, Brazil, Bolivia, Ar- Post Office Issues Annual 'Mail Early' CHristm as Message If Thanksgiving has past, can Christmas be far behind? Many, as usual, have not realized how soon Christmas will be here, and have made no preparations for the holiday. The post office took the opportunity to tell the students and townspeople its an nual story, "Mail early." All parcels ritiist be securely wrapped or packed. Umbrellas, canes, and golf sticks should be reinforced their full length by strong strips of wood tightly wrapped and tied so that they may withstand any strain occur ring in transportation. Hats should be packed in strong cor rugated boxes or be crated, oth erwise ' they are liable to be crushed. Cut flowers should be wrapped in tissue paper so that they " will retain their moisture and should be -packed in a wood en or tin box. Drawings, paint ings, etc., should be wrapped in some strong material--so' as to avoid damage. When not flat, these articles should be wrapped in a wooden core or put in a paste-board tube. Sharp-edged or sharp - pointed instruments should have edges and points fully guarded so as to prevent injury to other mail and to the clerks. ' -. Articles easily crushed or broken must be crated or secure ly wrapped. Liberal quantities of straw or some like material should be used in packing -these articles in the container. All things easily damaged must be plainly marked "Fragile."

W4WE was in communi cation with the McMillan Artie and the Byrd Antartic expedi tions. As Is the case with nearly every amateur station, the local station is a member of the A merican Radio Relay League. The members of this league transmit messages sent from any station and thus furnish a valu able means of communication especially in emergencies. - Amateur operators have play ed an important part in the de velopment of radio, especially in developing the field of short wave transmission. They were especially commended for their work during the recent world war and have been active in aid ing the navy and army in times of peace. There are at present about twenty thousand amateur operators in this country. They have proved very valuable in communicating with sections of the country which due to emer gencies have been cut off from the rest of the world. The local station is the only means students have of studying radio in Chapel Hill. Since only licensed operators can handle the, apparatus, the number of students able to work with the station is greatly restricted. However the . present staff is surprisingly large and is capable of handling all work available in Chapel Hill. - stamps to expedite delivery. - Addresses should be complete, with house number and name of street, post-office box or rural route number, v A return card should be placed in the upper left corner of every piece of mail.

It is a physical impossibility to efficiently han dle this great quantity of mail when it is all -sent during one week. For this reason the post office department asks that everyone buy and mail early so that there will not be too much congestion and delay in the transportation and delivery of the mail and gifts. The use of Special Delivery stamps will assure delivery on Christmas day if posted at the proper time. : Special Delivery services mean the handling and transportation of parcels with the same expedition of first-class letter mail, as well as the imme diate delivery at the office of ad dress. Special Delivery may be obtained by affixing a Special Delivery stamp of the proper de nomination, or -its equivalent in ordinary stamps, in addition to the-regular postage.
