''" University Plans Laundry Deposit Collection Change In an effort to aid the student, plans are being made by the University business department and the student advisory board whereby students will no longer be required to call at the Laundry department office for their laundry when deposits become exhaust ed, it was announced yesterday by L. B. Rogerson, business manager of the University. It has been the custom in the past that when students' laundry deposits ran out, they have been required to make a trio to the laundry office down town for their laundry. Roger son stated that the present system is not only an inconvenience for the student, but it is also complicated and requires extra work for the laundry department and the business office each quarter. NEW SET-UP The new set-up now being planned would be simpler and more of a con venience for all parties concerned.

'Ghost Writing' Is Favored By 15 Per Cent Only 75 Per Cent Disapprove Paying For Themes; 10 Per Cent Indifferent "Ghost writing," the practice of pre paring themes and reports for some one else's class work, gets a thumbs down expression of opinion from three- fourths of American college students. What may be more surprising to some, however, is that the other fourth is eitner lndinerent or openly m ap proval. These are the results of a poll conducted by the Student Opinion Sur veys of America, collegiate sampling organization of the undergraduate press, of which the Daily Tar Heel is a member. "What is your opinion of the prac tice of students paying ghost writers to prepare themes and term papers for them?" was the question present ed to a scientific cross-section from coast to coast. . THE FIGURES Disapproving were 75 per cent; in different were 10 per cent; approving CANDIDATE GAINS SUPPORT OF TWO POLITICAL PARTIES Has Been Prominent In Football, Boxing Class Activities By LOUIS HARRIS The University party yesterday con cluded its slate of student body offi cers, by endorsing Gates Kimball, president of this year's junior class and star football player and boxer, for the vice-presidency of the student body. When notified of his nomination, Kimball said, "I appreciate running on the party ticket and the confidence the UP has placed in me." Kimball will be ne of the few exceptions in this spring's three-cornered political race, since he will have only one op ponent, Ed Hubbard, who was recent ly named by the Carolina party. The Student party announced the nomina tion of Kimball early in the year. ACTIVITIES During his three years at the Uni versity, Kimball has been active in both athletics and student govern ment. For the past two years he has been a regular tackle on the football team, receiving numerous All-State and All-Southern Conference positions last fall. After the season was con cluded, he was elected co-captain of the gridders for the coming year. .This past winter, he went through the regular boxing season undefeated, scoring many knockouts over South ern Conference foes. In the confer ence tournament in Columbia, he lost a close decision to Warren, Clemson, heavyweight. In last spring's elections, Kimball was chosen by his classmates to serve as president of liis class. In that ca pacity, he has been a member of the Graham Memorial board of directors, and has directed several inter-class ac tivities. As recognition for his merit in both athletics and student govern ment, the Order of the Grail last year tapped him for membership. He is a member of DKE fraternity. Mathematicians Decide To Convene Here Next Year ' j The Southeastern Section of the Mathematical Association of America will hold its annual meeting here next year, Dr. Archibald Henderson has announced after returning from Ath ens, Ga., where the sessions were held this year at the University of Geor gia. Dr. Henderson and eight other members of his department attended the Georgia meeting, and Dr. John W. Lasley, one of the members of the staff here, was elected vice-president of the association for the ensuing year. Dr. Henderson presided over one of the sessions. The University won the attend ance prize, having, a larger delega tion than any other institution. Oth (Continued on page 4, column 2) Of Students were 15 per cent. Answers to the query were tabulat ed by the interviewers in five different categories to indicate the intensity of feeling on this issue. These results are given below: Strongly opposed 54 per cent Mildly opposed 21 per cent Indifferent ". 10 per cent Mildly in favor 8 per cent Strongly in favor 7 per cent ARGUMENTS Significantly, it may be noticed that a majority of students, 54 per cent, is in the strongly-opposed class. Also, the trend of approval looking down the preceding row of figures, dwindles down to a mere 7 per cent at a rapid rate. The chief argument of those who favpr ghost writing is that in effect it often helps students by giving them more time to study for more impor tant and pressing courses. On the other hand, the majority of those op posed condemn it as plain scholastic dishonesty.
