at a sPecial meeting yes-

Quantities of the campus daily
will be placed in boxes strategi
cally placed at all well-worn
avenues to the campus in order
that students may pick up copies
on the way to classes. Abandon
ment, of the house-to-house deli
very was necessitated by the
shortage of delivery" boys.
The new plan will go into ef
fect "probably" next week, as
soon as the construction of the

that they would be seven in num

near the YMCA.
As long as possible delivery will
be affected to each of the men's
and women's dormitories.
Until the new system is actu
ally instituted delivery will con
tinue on the old house-to-house
basis. Extra quantities of the
newspaper will be deposited at
the, YMCA,- Graham Memorial,
Library and Swain hall to rein
force the hampered delivery.
Students have been requested
to take only one paper in order
that the supply will be sufficient.
Surveys will be conducted at each
point to determine the number
needed. Honor system rules will
apply to the dispersal points and
persons not entitled to papers
will be forbidden access to the
boxes.
The plan was chosen after the
break-down of the door-to-door
delivery toward the end of last
quarter due to the lack of carrier
boys. Negro newsboys solicitated
from the Orange County Train
ing school were experimented
with but found unreliable.
The booths will be placed so as
to cause the students as little in-

Unorthodox Local Weekly
Passes Up Special Edition
Louis Graves, whose widely-
read Chapel Hill Weekly violates
almost all the canons of orthodox
journalism, is getting ready to
smash another custom.
His well known newspaper will
celebrate its 20th birthday
around March 1, but believe it
or not, Editor Graves isn't going
to capitalize on the occasion even
to the extent of getting out a
special edition.
He revealed his plans for no
special edition in a talk to Cha
pel Hill Rotarians this week.

who is co-owner of a string of
weeklies in Eastern North Caro
lina, was among the Rotarians
present. He told Editor Graves
he'd been thinking of asking him
to talk to one of his journalism
classes but he wondered now if
he should do so.

Cobb also announced that at

standing in this category were
the IRC and CPU, which will

"Editors of weekly papers in
Eastern Carolina would fare
pretty poorly if they couldn't get
out a special edition now and

ed. "That special edition often
means the difference between a
profit and a deficit for the year's
work."
Editor Graves explained why
he devotes so much space to the
so-called "human interest" stuff.
Whether they admit it or not,
most people would much rather
be amused than instructed, he
said, and if you can do both at the
same time so much the better.
Explaining why he skips pub
lication one week at Christmas,
he said : "I know I need a rest and
feel that my readers do, too."
One of the greatest mistakes
any editor can make is to fail to
record operations, particularly
in the case of women, he said.
