THEFTS IN THE LABORATORIES To the Editor of the Tur Heel: About n year ami a half ago I had the department purchase some table lamps for the use of students workiinr in the upper zoology classes. They are good reading lamps and are ulso of great use on dark afternoons iu dissection aud iu microscopic work. Mr. Burch told me that on the arrival of the lamps, before they could be sent over to the laboratory, one was stolen from his ofiiee. We have had so many thefts during the past years that I wondered how long these lamps would stay with us. Now one has been taken. It has been removed siuee the up, November St, 11)22. T. P.

May 4, 1923 No. 52 THE TAR HEEL ELECTIONS Monday between the hours of nine in the morning and sis in the afternoon the annual Tar Heel elections will take place, and the men who will run the campus newspaper next year will be elected by the student body. At a meeting of the Tar Heel board held last Monay night nominations were made by the newspaper organization. Men were recommended by this group to the campus as the best fitted on the campus for these offices. They are an nounced elsewhere in this issue. Today in chapel the nominations were thrown open to the student body. This piece is, of course, being written before this morning's chapel period, and we do not know at this time whether there will be any other nominations coming from the student body for these offices. We rather doubt that any other men will be nominated, since it seems quite envious to us that the most promising candidates available are included In the list submitted to the students by the Tar Heel board. Such should not be the case, how ever, and other nominations made by the student body we would like to re mind the students who are to do the voting of this one fact. The men nom inated by the Tar Heel board have worked hard on the paper and distin guished themselves in the past for their ability and faithfulness. The Tar Heel board knows who among its own num ber and who among the entire student body are best fitted for the positions to be filled. They know who have done the work in the past and who are cap able of doing the work in the future. They have named the men. The campus should think a long while before put ting into these offices men not recom mended by the Tar Heel board. The situation of the student publications at the University has grown acute during the past few years. Chief among the perplexing problems tlxat have come up and gone for the most part unsolved are those of finance. With the phenomenal growth of the size of the student body, however, and the general enlargement of the entire University plant and system, there have been other problems of various kinds to be faced by the publications of equally a serious nature, and with affairs being run in the old antiquated outworn way the solu tions for these problems have long been wanted. Now comes forth a proposition called the Students Publication Union as a remedy for the situation. The ques tion is whether this will turn the trick. The Tar Heel is convinced that it will. For many years the Magazine has been in the hands of vie two literary societies, aud on several occasions when the Magazine failed to come out on top in a financial way the societies were held responsible. The Yackety Yack has been the official product of the societies and fraternities combined, and for all of its activities these two groups have been responsible. Both of these publica tions have been known as general student publications and practically they have been such. If the publications union is voted through they will be released by these groups only too willingly because the responsibilities are too large and inappropriate. The theoretical publication of the magazine by the societies and the Yackety Yack by the societies and fraternities combined are examples of the haphazard manner in which the student publications have been published. There has been absolutely no sign or any supervision, system, or any well ordered method of illst checking Til I1 11 i Tl (Y fliA Ctllrionf wn1H.,af inmo 11... 1 . , . . 1 w , metis ike tlx euvnr ov..i-v. ,.,,., .....1 Heel business manager has been unsatisfactory, and is old and obsolete. The ,hon. Once in a while a book goe or a elections of some of the other officers of the publications, due to the peculiar lens. An entire microscope was stolen and undesirable circumstances concerning the manner in which the publications about two years ago. All the small have been run, are equally as unsatisfactory, and a new plan has long been movables in the photographic dark room needed. Each publication has heretofore run on its own hook, with its business ww t"keu about three years ago. l)is dealings never checked up or known by the student body, and with its entire swtiuS instruments' are picked up from management a sort of mystery to the undergraduates who havn let thino-c mi- I ,volk 'tables. Electric bulbs are contiu drift on, scarcely paying any attention at all to the conditions. A number of embarrassing situations have come up and been faced by the different publica tions and those said to be responsible for them; and the inevitable result has been somewhat indifferent and irregular quality and a standard sometimes con siderably off and not in keeping with the high plane of our other student activities. The Publications Union plan, explained fully in the constitution printed elsewhere in this issue and which goes for a vote of the students Monday, will put the student publications here on their feet for all time and will remedy a situation that is now unhappy and promising to become more and more unhappy to make such losses public they shame as the years go by. The Tar Heel guarantees that if this plan is voted through ,ls- I afraid now that this attitude the quality of all the publications will be improved a hundred per cent. The I is wroS. The persons, doubtless very Tar Heel will increase in quality and quantity, and will be a real student news- few ""mber. who perpetrate such paper, eventually becoming a daily similar to those published at the large east ern and western universities. The Magazine will take on new life and fill its mission with pep and vigor heretofore impossible. The Yackety Yack will be a book to be proud of, akin in its size, make-up and content to such master pieces as tne iucky Bag published at Annapolis. We say this with the utmost confidence, because we can readily see that with the funds guaranteed hy the Union to work with, and the supervision of the board to see that the funds are properly used, there can be no other result. And what, of course, will eventu ally occur will be the construction of a students publications building, such as is found at Yale and Harvard. The constitution should be read through carefully, and every voter should weigh all of its parts and consider the results if it should be passed. The Budget plan may at first be distasteful, but think of the many good things that it can cause, and the fact that it will give you the publications at such ridiculously low prices, better and finer publications at that. Think of the fact that your day of bothering with subscription canvassers will be past Think of the fact that your money will be a subsidy for one of the most important of the student institutions publications and that the union will mean the beginning of a new day for the publications. The Tar Heel sincerely believes that the voting through of the publications union will be one of the biggest steps forward that the students of Carolina have taken in many a day in the way of undergraduate activities. pjnmnDimninrannmn LAUNDRY DEPARTMENT U.

J Wsmted .. men to find the answer THIS is written to the man who loves to seek the unknown quantity. He is the kind of labora tory worker who ventures into untried fields of ex periment, rather than the man who tests materials. Industry has heed of both types, but of the former there is a more pressing demand. College men may have been discouraged from pursuing pure research. In this highly practical age it may seem there is little room for work which does not have an immediate dollars and cents application. Hut such is not the case. The pure research-man is the pathfinder. With out him our fountain of knowledge would dry up. His findings in themselves may be uncommercial, but they establish a field for others to develop, Volta worked out the crude voltaic pile - unim portant until other men improved and applied it. And so with Papin in the field of steam, or Lavoisier in chemistry. Men of the inquiring slant of mind, stick to your last. In post graduate study, on the faculty, in the laboratory of some industrial organization, there will always be an "X" to baffle other men and call for the keenest thought of you blazers of the trail.
