Lost Articles Arouse Curiosity About Underlying Histories Record of Success Hits 50 Percent (Editor's note: The author of this article and ye editor have lost glasses and fountain pens which were never found. We print this informative story in the hope that it will publicize the bureau and increase its service. Bring or send everything you find. It's patriotic to conserve!) By M. E. Richter The most valuable article that has ever been turned into the "Lost & Found" department at the YMCA building on the campus was a man's Longine wrist watch, two years ago, valued at $150, and the one of least value was a shabby and worn change purse. The depot has been giving this special gratuitous service to members of the college and town since 1904 and in that time it has received literally thousands of text and notebooks, keys, fountain pens and pencils, of which about 50 are returned to their own ers. There is the same delight in poring oyer a batch of lost articles as there is in going through the usual thrift shop or charity bazaar, but at its worst See LOST AND FOUND, page 4 Editorial: F-3141, News: F-314S. F sit ID- Participation on WLB Deemed Essential Now Campus Denies Alleged 'Confusion' In Administration of UNC Affairs The Carolina campus was aroused on Saturday morning with a storyr in the state papers that President Frank Graham had been asked by the Board of Trustees to devote full time to his job as president of the consolidated universities, rather than to divide his time between them and the War Labor Board of which he has been a member since its inception. One of the only two mem bers who were held over from the original Defense Mediation Board to become one of the public members of the WLB, he has been spending every week-end and third week in Chapel Hill and the remaining time in Washington. Throughout the WLB's stormy career he has been part of the movement to quiet labor and bring peace between it and the work ers, and his efforts there have been considered important. Graham himself said in answer to a query concerning the possibility of his leaving the board now that the "chairman of the WLB Davis had asked him to . . .' "keep on my present schedule of one-third time in North Carolina and two-thirds in Washington, and then try for a while two weeks with the University and two weeks with the War Labor Board." ... Basic Policy "The Board's maintenance-of-membership policy now in jeop ardy, is basic to the national effort toward both maximum produc tion and minimum inflation. Since this part of the Board's policy has, by a division of work, been assigned to me for particular con cern, it is only fair to the work of the War Labor Board that, with your approval,, this matter of my early return be timed in accord ance with the judgment of the Governor, the Executive commit tee, the Chairman of the War Labor Board, and the President, who" made the appointment." The visiting committee, headed by Victor Bryant of Durham, said that the administration of the University "is confused as to authority and that the complicated administrative system of the Consolidated University makes it necessary that the President give his full time to his duties here." Committee Claims The visiting committee claimed that they had asked certain faculty members at Carolina about this and that they were unani mous in favor of a full-time president because the time was ap proaching for post-war policy clarification. According to the papers it is suggested that the president's absence part of the time has retarded unduly and inevitably the administration of affairs and that the work of the faculty lacks cohesion and direction. Unspecified The article did not specify who the members of the "visiting board" were, who the "members of the faculty" were, "and where the confusion" was supposed to exist. But both students and fac ulty members questioned after the article appeared expressed surprise and disagreed with the statements entirely. Certain officials within the University, while conceding that they would like to have the President return to the Hill full time, nevertheless agreed with him in his decision to remain in Wash ington until the present crisis over the Ward case had been cleared.
