The Textbook
Problem
One of the most expensive
items in the college student's
budget is that of textbooks.
Most of the courses in the curri
culum, especially the more ad
vanced ones, require several
costly books, usually of a techni
cal nature. Purchase of these
books places a decided financial
burden upon the students, who
is, on most cases, already in im
pecunious circumstances. Hence
it is not strange thaiftfte prac
tice of re-selling these books as
soon as the courses are complet
ed has developed extensively
among undergraduates.
One of the most valuable pos
sessions which any man may
have is a personal library. This
is especially true in the case of
the college graduate. .His text
books form an excellent nucleus
for a personal library, since
their value for reference is fur
ther increased by the fact that
they represent the most tangible
associational objects which he
retains from his undergraduate
days. The notes and names
jotted on the margins and covers
of the books are a graphic com
mentary upon the entire college
life of their owner. Very few
posesssions will be more treas
ured in after years than the
books which represent many
profitable hours of work in col
lege. They have been granted
an intimacy of thought greater
than that accorded any other
material things, and- they have
contributed far more to the intellectual-development
of their
owner than all of his other pos
sessions combined.
If the undergraduate has the
least semblance of serious pur
pose in attending college, he will
wish to retain his textbooks af
ter he has completed the courses
for which they are required. But
in all probability he has financial
limitations within which he
must confine his expenditures.
The cost of the books must be
at a minimum. And this means
that he must be able to obtain
them direct from the publishers
or through an intermediate
agency which does not make a
profit from their sale.
A book agency plan is in op
eration at McGill University
which enables every student
there to purchase his books at
the lowest possible price. This
agency is conducted by the ad
ministration, and issues coupons
with each purchase. If there
are any profits at the end oLthe
year's operation, they are re
turned to the holders of these
coupons on a pro-rata basis.
This plan could ,be installed
here with great benefit to the
students. It would assist ma
terially in solving the vexing
i textbook problem.

of student carelessness.
The plea that just one per
son's walking on the grass does
not make a path is sound in
theory, but no good in practice
because we all use the same
short-cuts. The cumulative walk
ing of such theorists is the
thing which ultimately makes
the marring path.
Of course, this is a free cam
pus. Each student can walk
where he pleases without being
ostracized in any particular.
But let a man be judged by the
path he treads Let the man
who has an interest in preserv
ing the beauty of the Univer
sity's grounds use the regular
gravel walks of which there is
an abundant supply. And let
him who insists that he must
assert his individuality stick to
the illegitimate walks, whereon
he feels at home. J. C. W.

Lenten Season
Daily Devotion
General Theme : "Coming to
Terms With Life"
Thursday, March 27. Topic
of the day : "Charity for others'
weaknesses." (Read Galatians
6:1-10.) Key verse: "Guard
thyself, lest thou also be tempt
ed." Meditation: "Self-knowledge
should give one charity. With
all one's good resolutions one
blunders and fails and thrusts
his fingers oftimes into the
heart strings of a friend. But
no man wishes to be judged by
chance mis-plays. He wants to
be interpreted in the light of his
best. We all crave the mag
nanimous judgments of others.
Portia speaks for us-, all:-.
We do pray for mercy,
And this same prayer doth teach
us all to' render
The deeds of mercy.'
Men, frail and faulty,, may by
the Grace of God become wise
and gentle. In the closing sen
tence of a book of stories of ab
normal men and women the au
thor, a detective, says : 'As in a
dream I hear a soft, far-away
murmur Let. him that is with
out sin among you cast the first
stone.'"
Prayer : "O Thou, to whom we
look for mercy in the hour of
our short-comings, teach us to
show the mercy that we seek,
and to practice the gentle judg
ments that we crave. Out of
our need for charity, we would
bring the mind of charity to our
fellow men. Amen."
Daily Prayer
By Their Paths
Ye Shall Know Them
. The student-cut path from
New Dorms diagonally across to
Old East was long a thorn in
the flesh of the Campus Beauti
ful. Lazy feet on their tardy
way to class made the path an
unsightly streak across the main
part of the campus, and an eye
sore to the observer. After sev
eral months of faculty and stu
dent agitation, the customary
trespassers were reduced in
number and the path was re
grassed. Now the old streak is
almost entirely hidden beneath
a mat of grass. But even now
there is always some part of the
campus which is being shorn of
its grass by student trespassers.
All over the campus are
"Please Keep Off the Grass"
signs, which mutely plead to
each potential path-maker that
Jhe give the grass a chance. Dr.
Coker and his ground hands al
ways do their share, but we
must admit that they couid be
favored by a bit more student
cooperation. Unsightly streaks
here and there on the campus
grass-lots attest the prevalence
Grant, O God, that we may
recall that our Lord Jesus Christ
was a non-conformist, that he
healed on the Sabbath and that
he was a friend to the publicans
and sinners. Grant that we may
realize that conformity is
cowardice and that all conces
sions are made to the devil.
Grant that we may prefer to die
in isolation, knowing that we
have been true to ourselves than
to rot away inch by inch in the
dull alleys of the commonplace.
Grant that we may consider it
better to go our way among men
defiant of our scorn than to go
men's ways and scorn ourselves.
Furthur grant, O God, that we
may be ourselves and think for
ourselves; and that we may
realize that while our conclu
sions may not be infallible, they
will be nearer right than the
conclusions forced upon us by
those who have a personal inter
est in keeping us in ignorance
and grant that we may realize
that we only grow throughout
the exercise of our faculties, and
that if we don't reason now we
never will advance. Finally
grant, O od, that realizing
that we are all thy sons we may
claim our heritage.
This we beg in Christ Jesus'
name. Amen.
SONGS OLD AND NEW
IN "NO, NO, NANETTE"
The screen production of "No,
No, Nanette," showing at the
Carolina theatre tomorrow, will
contain song hits from the ori
ginal stage show as well as many
new numbers which have already
attained great popularity since
the recent release of this color
ful First National picture.
"Tea for Two" and "I Want
to Be Happy" from the footlight
production will be heard in the
Vitaphone edition, sung by a
chorus of 150 and the two fea
tured leads, Bernice Claire and
Alexander Gray. These two
songs were among the country's
best sellers when "No, No, Nan
ette" was having its sensational
success on Broadway.
The big number of the picture,
however, is "King of the Air,"
by Eddie Ward and Al Bryan,
one of Hollywood's most har-
monious song-writing, teams.
Three other numbers based on
lavish' scenes in the film are
"Dancing on Mars" by Michael
H. Cleary, Ned Washington and
Herb Magidson; "The Japanese
Ballet," by M. Jerome and Her
man Ruby; and "The Dance of
the Wooden Shoes," by Cleary,
Washington and Magidson.
And also there are "Pretend
ing," by Ruby and Jerome and
"As Long As I'm With You,"
by Harry K. Akst . and Grant
Clarke.
"No, No, Nanette" is one of
the most lavish pictures ever
produced at the First National
Studios.. Four of the big se
quences the Holland, Japan,
New York and Mars episodes
each cost more than the entire
original stage production.
The cast of noted players in
cludes Lucien Littlefield, Louise
Fazenda, Lilyan Tashman, Bert
Roach, Zasu Pitts, Mildred Har
ris, Henry Stockbridge and Joce
lyn Lee.

pRED E. MEINHOLTZ of the New York Times
sat in his home on Long Island, listening-in on
a radio press dispatch from the Byrd expedition.
Someone on the Times staff wanted to reach
Meinholtz on his home phone. And quiqkly! But
the receiver there happened to be off the hook.
Radio science was equal to the occasion. The Times
radio operator sent a request to the fur-clad oper
ator at the other end of the world. And Meinholtz
was quickly made aware of the situation by a radio
message from Antarctica saying: "Meinholtz, the
Times wants you to hang up your receiver so' that
they can call you on the telephone."

college-trained men are engaged at General Electric, where
they also receive further technical and business training.
