He also stated that the financial stand ing was decidedly unfavorable, but Editor Glenn Holder cor-r rected his information concern ing finance. Holder stated that the paper would in all proba bility break even this year or in cur a slight loss, and also stated that the first year was bound to present financial difficulty. Representative Wilkinson aid ed Representative Lang in op posing the bill, by arguing that there was not sufficient campus news to fill a daily paper and that a lot o "bullshootmg" was used to fill the columns.

Carolina - Virginia football game, Kenan stadium: BULUS HEAD SHOP ATTRACTS LARGE NUMBER VISITORS Students who are seldom seen in the vicinity of the Bull's Head shop have been presenting themselves at this rendezvous of tense-faced folk in surprising numbers of late. The attendant, and the quiet group usually found reading there, are fre quently seen to raise their glances momentarily from their favorite book to scrutinize some anxious-eyed intruder who stum bles against chairs and fumbles over the shelves in search of they know not what.- "No, I shall not inquire where the book is. I want to make the discovery myself," muses the evident stranger. His eyes play over the well-kept shelves. The evasiveness of the object of his interest causes him to become more intent in his search for the hidden treasure. All's Quiet on the Western Front and The Tragic Era are shamelessly ig nored. The diminutive room is circled again by the questing student. Not a trace of despair is revealed in the determined face. Eyes of other readers rest lessly survey the shelves : they, too, have joined in the search. Finally the student pauses and withdraws from between Dumas, the Incredible Marquis and The Omnibus of Crime the loner-souerht volume Richard Halliburton's .New Worlds to Conquer. Seated at the table en vironment vanishes, as, within the space of perhaps an hour the reader journeys with the prince of travelers to the alluring spots of an entire continent. Pages are turned . . .'the tick ing of a watch becomes the voice of a far-away waterfall. The arrival of other students seems but a vague stirring of the pris oners in the blockhaus on lies du Salut ... and the drama and tragedy roll on. The bell for lunch is sounded. Less en thusiastic readers hastily file from the room. The boy at the table, unobvious of intrusion, continues to sail the Southern Seas. Another book by Halliburton has arrived. The word is passea from friend to friend and en thusiast to enthusiast. At pres ent one may note such a process as described above occurring at most any period of the day. All become victims for an hour, charmed by the beauty of Popo, enchanted by the cry of the wind through the pinnacled Ihca city, Manchu Picchu. CHAPEL HILL, N.

By doing this they will greatly facilitate the handling of traffic through the town and on the highways leading out. It will be recalled that a great deal of difficulty was experienced in clearing the streets of cars after the Geor gia contest. The few hundred cars which the townspeople will necessarily be driving in an opposite direction to the general run of traffic make for unnecessary congestion. Co-operation in this effort will be appreciated. CHARLES T. WOOLLEN Graduate Manager?

Music by .the University band and speeches by coaches and football players of this and by gone years are the .features of the pep meeting to be held to night at ,9 o'clock in the old Pick wick theatre. For the benefit of the freshmen this theatre is the old movie house directly across the street from the Carolina the atre.

As many as possible are urged to attend, for the finishing touches will be put on the song written by Wex Malone and "Block" Bryson especially for the Vir ginia game.

Following the pep meeting a big boxing show will be put on in the Tin Can. Seven bouts have been arranged by Coach Rowe, boxing mentor. All bouts will be between men on the squad, and as Coach Rowe has such mitmen to work with as Levinson, Jimmy Gray, Good rich, Sheffield, Shemwell, Gray, Preston, Patterson, Overman, Glover, Stallings,.

In chapel Tuesday morning Dean F. F. Bradshaw explained the rule that students are placed on probation for 30 days for ab sence from classes on the day before or the day after holidays. Since many have failed to un derstand this rule Dean Brad shaw explained ; ' its operation and the reason for it. A large number of absences are due to good roads and the recent insti tution of "bumming," the dean said: This is especially true of absences before and aiter holi days, when students) wish" to lengthen their stays away from the Hill. Dean Bradsliaw said that the desire and opportunity of increasing the. holidays by absences has caused a serious at tendance problem He pointed out the fact that it is necessary to set certain dates for recess periods and that all rather than merely a part of the student body must abide by the arrange ment. Dean Bradshaw said that the holidays were selected by a vote of the student body a few years ago. Hence the present body should be all the more willing to accept the dates that have been" set. " The dean of students urged the students not to ignore the rule but help meet the situa tion which has matie it neces sary. ' . " . Miss Herring Talks About Present Labor Situation At Y Meet Three Y cabinets held a joint meeting Monday night at the Y at 7:15 for the purpose of hearing Miss Harriett E. Herring of the sociology depart ment. Miss Herring spoke to the group on the subject of the "Present Labor Situation." She began her talk by asking the question, "Why is .there so much interest shown in the textile in dustry?" "One reason for this," states Miss Herring, "is that the textile industries employ whole families, whereas, other mills hire only men or women alone. Another reason," she continued, "is that the textile mill owners customarily furnish the .homes in which 'their employees live. This helps a great deal in bet tering the conditions of the workers." In answer to the" question as to whether the present labor condition was better or worse than the past she stated, "The mills of today are, without a doubt, much better in every way than those of former t;mes." Miss Herring closed her talk by answering a few questions of cabinet members. G. A. Metz, student pastor of the Lutheran church, ended the program with a word of prayer. Infirmary, List P.
