'Dirty Icebergs Davis Claims

The student book trading
post which opens Monday isn't
any new idea.
But if it succeeds, it will be
the first to do so in campus
history. .
H. R. Ritchie, Book Ex
change manager, said yesterday,
"I wish the swap shop .the best
of luck in their project." Then
he went on to explain how sim
ilar projects were attempted in
former years and failed.
The last project of this type
was started in March of 1942 by
student government, headed by
President Truman Hobbs. The
book swap shop, then tagged "co
op student book exchange" was
maintained in Graham Memorial
basement. Curry Jones, head
cheerleader, managed the store.
The co-op store lasted less than
a quarter. When it died, student
government leaders went to Rit
chie and held a post mortem. Af
ter thanking him for his support,
they explained why the idea had
failed.
The old student book swapping
center failed according to Hobbs
and Jones, because:
1. Students wanted too much
for their used text books.
2. Many of the books placed in
the shop were old, outdated books.
3. Leaders of the project didn't
realize the time and skill required
to maintain the shop.
The question facing sponsors
of the student swap shop now is:
can the project be carried out?
Leaders in student government
and Alpha Phi Omega, sponsors
of the project, seem to think the
idea can succeed and serve stu
dents. The new plan appears to have
remedied most of the faults of for
mer ones that failed. This swap
shop will only be maintained dur
ing the first 10 days of the quar
ter. The former ones were set lip
to operate for the entire year.
The swap shop will succeed,
say student government leaders,
if students don't ask too high a
price for their books.
President Ham Horton said yes
terday, "We are very happy to
have the blessings of Mr. Ritchie.
We believe that any faults of old
student swap shops have been
corrected and that this one will
fill the needs of students."
'Orpheus' To Be Shown
Thursday In Memorial
"Orpheus" will be shown at
8:30 tomorrow night in Memorial
Hall under the auspices of the
Student Union Activities Board.
The French film is a modern
version of the Greek legend by
the same title. It is directed by
Jean Cocteau who uses surreal
ist cinema techniques in the phy
chplogical study of death.
Easily readable sub-titles are
used to supplement the French
dialogue.
Hear About Comets;
L. Whipple of Harvard, which
seems to explain many features
in a comet which had not been
previously explained.
Whipple's basic idea, accord
ing to Dr. Davis, is that a comet
is composed of a matrix of me
teoric material having a high
melting point, which is sur
rounded by the gases methane,
ammonia, carbon dioxide and
water. Normally these gases are
frozen into ices in space so
that a comet may be thought of
as a ball of ice.
Dr. Davis went on to explain
that the comet travels in an el
liptical orbit around the sun
and that the sun melts these

December 'Heat Wave'
Spring For Sure?
As traditionally sunny California and Pacific Coast cities
braced themselves for another week of heavy snows, Carolina
campusers yesterday enjoyed spring weather reminiscent of
Miami. ' ,
Raleigh weatherman D. D. Stone" was somewhat less sur
prised about the short sleeve temperatures than
most students. "There's nothing unusual about it
all," hesaid.
The December "heat wave," it seems, was
due to "a flow of warmer air towards the
south." The Raleigh cloud interpreter said sev
eral unusually warm days occur in December
in this part of the country. The day's high was
68.
At any rate, no one went swimming. Nei

Jews To Mark
Old Festival
Here Friday
Jewish communities every

the Jews and the, Syrian-Greek
king Antiochus, occasioned by his
effort to force the Jews to violate
their religious principles, by wor
shipping him.
The festival is observed through
the lighting of candles each night
of the eight days, beginning with
one the first night, two the sec

lege, State College and Duke,
have been invited.
A party for the local Jewish

For One Year
UNC Pay Raise,
However, Would
Decrease Amount
By Rolfe Neill
Students soon will have a
ripe financial melon sliced for
them.
It's the profit estimated at
from $30,000 to $40,000 from
this year's operation of University-owned
campus stores.
All of the money is to be put into
scholarships.
;The Trustees, in action last
spring, directed the University to
ply the profit from the student
supported stores back to the stu
dents. The-money comes from the
operation of the Scuttlebutt, Cir
cus Room in the Monogram Club,
Book Exchange (Steele Dorm
basement and Y), cigar counter
in Lenoir Hall and most of the
proceeds from soft drink vending
machines on campus.
. Previously the profit had been
turned into the University's op
erating fund.
Business Manager Claude Tea
gue, who made the estimate of
$30,000 to $40,000, said other
things must be taken into con
sideration He stressed that this
is an estimate and not "sure fire."
He also pointed out that Gov.-
Elect W. B. Umstead has promised
state employees a 10 per cent pay
raise, retroactive to July 1. If
this is put through, the money
for campus store employees will
be drawn from this hypothetical
$40,000, Teague reminded.
Chancellor Robert B. House an
nounced yesterday he is awaiting
committee report to aid him
m setting up an organization to
utilize the profits.
He said the findings of the
three-man group will be taken
and added to information he al
ready has and a plan presented
,0 Consolidated University Presi
dent Gordon Gray. Finally, the
plan will be submitted to the
Board of Trustees meeting, prob
ably in February.
On the committee are O. K.
Cornell, director of physical edu
cation, Claude Teague, University
business manager, and Dean Tho
mas H. Carroll of the School of
Business Administration.

will list every scholarship offer-

Unready Kilowatt
The case of the off and on
lights around the University
yesterday had nothing to do
with the delinquency of any
body's bill.
Merely, electricians were
checking for a ground that has
been acting up and had to
douse the lights sporadically to
facilitate their work.
