The owners, J. C. Williams and Beatty Rector, from Asheville, gave him complete access to the secret files of the partnership. After spending four hours in hunting through a mass of papers of all descriptions which included love letters to our red headed Magazine editor, Di Sen ate inaugural addresses, chew ing gum wrappers, various Paris style magazines with and with out models, he came upon what looked like laundry slips and what were labeled "account of the aforementioned owed to aftermentioned for such matters as the purchase of human diges tive materials." Whether the efficient managers of this store permitted the office boy to delve into the files for fear -of fearless Publicity unfavorable to them in the Tar Heel, or whether they were totally ignorant of what was in the files is a matter of question. After much trouble the office r. riT i- ; i Tar Heel Meeting The reportorial and editor iaL members of the staff of the Daily Jar Heel will meet for the second time since the organization of the new staff Sunday night at seven o'clock in the basement of. Alumni building, r There are three sport staff positions and three news po sitions, open to members of the student body who are in terested in making the staff. They will be awarded to those applying Sunday. -No one will be excused from attending the meeting.

He also found that the amount of goods sold totaled up to $140.61. By a strange coincidence, there was no account of any income whatsoever. The Tar Heel calls upon the managers of the store to declare publicly what income they have received or file a state ment of bankruptcy. Beatty Rector is now taking but one meal a day and Store keeper Williams has been forced to cut down to two the number of shaves per quarter, due to in ability to.buy shaving cream. On the other hand, the Everett inhabitants are going around very happily and seem very prosperous. They are always flushed with money as well as being continually supplied with candy and eats. Despite this display of food, their purses nev er seem to empty in the least. The only outward difference . is the increase in -pencils used in the store to mark down accounts and money owed.

Next Year's Entertainments; Ballot To Be Run Again Today. f According to the balloting in the recent poll held by the Stu dent Entertainment Committee the Theatre Guild is the best liked of the 30 entertainments from which next year's program may be selected. Richard E. Byrd ran the Guild a close sec ond with 47 votes to the Guild's 49. The balloting was small, only 70 votes being cast. Dean Hib bard, head of the committee, be lieves that a larger number of students are interested in next year's entertainments than the small voting would indicate. The ballot form is therefore be ing run again in this morning's Tar Heel. There is a box in the lobby of the YTM. C. A. as there was on the previous balloting. Votes may also, be turned in at Dean Hibbard's Office. The bal lot closes tomorrow. Of the" thirty possible numbers for the Iprogram the ten leading ones in the order of their popu larity are: the Theatre Guild, Richard Byrd, Lawrence Tibbitt, the Beggar's Opera, Pa vley-Ouk-rainsky Ballet, the Ben .Greet Players, Bruce Bairnsfather, Darrow-Cannon Debate, Carola Goya,, RuthTageRussian Sym phonic Choir, Spaulding, and an art exhibit. Each voter was allowed ten votes, indicating his choice by numbering from one to ten. The same system is to be used in to day's voting. The Theatre Guild got by far the larger num ber of first choice votes If the Guild comes and if the first ballot may be taken as an indi cation of the students' wishes in . the matter, Eugene O'Neill's Strange Interlude which has aroused so much comment, fav orable and unfavorable, will be presented by them. Since the original negotiations concerning Commander Byrd's lecture the cost of his coming has almost doubled. If the students and townspeople desire him to come he will be brought here however. The ten entertainments that are now leading show a well-balanced interest among the voters, music, drama, dancing, and the arts all being represented. Law Class Has Picture The members of the third year law class had a group pic ture of the class made Thurs day morning on the steps of the law school building, during chapel period. They had this picture made in order that they might all have a suitable me mento of the class.

GLEE CLUB WILL GIVE CONCERT HERE MAY 8 As a: regular part of National Music Week here, thd University glee club will give a f iiH concert on May $ probably in-the Play maker theatre.

C. Canvass Is Taken Of Fleece Potentialities By Reporter Correction It was stated in yesterday's issue of the Tar Heel that the ecPpse of the sun Monday would be annular and that it would cover nine-tenths of the surface of the sun. This was erroneous. Only about four tenths will be covered, and the eclipse here will be partial and not annular. An annular eclipse is caused by the pass ing of ' the moon directly across the surface of the sun, therefore, Monday's eclipse will only be annular in a path about as wide as that of the total eclipse. The area south of the path and the area north of the path will only be irjl partial eclipse. THIRTEEN TAKEN INTO HOLY GRAIL -Yearly Selection of Juniors and Sophomores Takes . Place. Thirteen sophomore and jun ior leaders of the undergraduate student body were inducted last night into the Order of the Holy Grail in the annual canvas of the campus for men of high at tainment, and character. The selection is accounted the high est honor . obtainable by sopho mores. ' :- -' . The initiates are: William Bridgers, Theron Brown, John Clinard, Oscar Dressier, Fred Ferguson, Noah Goodridge, Hamilton H. Hobgood, Steve Marsh, K. C. Ramsay, Carlyle Sitterson, Clarence Weeks, Hay wood Weeks and Burgess White head. The number chosen follows the custom set by the order in its first days on the campus. When possible, in alternate (Continued on last page) Decrease Reported In Dormitory Store Sales Nearly every dormitory store operator on the campus reports a noticeable decrease in sales this quarter. Although 'this is the first year that the dormitory store system has operated, busi ness for the whole year has been very good, despite the pres ent decline. Of the three quar ters, however, the spring term has shown for its operators the j least profit per month. In the fall quarter Old East netted for its operators approximately $85 per month Ho top he list in sales ; while the managers of the store in Carr dormitory report ed an estimated profit of $45 each month to trail the sales. The majority of the stores yielded a profit of $60 per month, roughly speaking. The high average for the fall quar ter is" attributed to the fact that most Of the dormitories were fully occupied and that the novelty of the stores attracted more purchasers. The winter quarter showed a decrease in sales of the stores as has the spring quarter so far. Steele and Old East', took the lead .these two terms, each re porting a gain of approximate ly $50 for the last month. Carr and "I" dormitories report the greatest decrease, the past month yielding their operators NUMBER 153 TWENTY - FIVE ARE LISTED IN BALLOT TAIEN TOTERDAY Student Body and Faculty In terviewed For Preferences. (By Edward French ) To be tapped for membership in the Order of the Golden Fleece is considered the highest honor that can come to a Caro lina man. It is taken to be an indication of his outstanding achievements during the time that he is a student, in addition to being a stamp of outstanding ability or talent along several lines ; namely, mental," physical and moral. A candidate's per sonality and his ability as a mix er are also strong considera tions. , ; - A Fleece man, theoretically at least, should embody at least a majority of these qualifica tions. In the past, as is inevi table in all human organizations, men have been. admitted to the order who appeared to the cam pus mind to be undeserving of the honor, and likewise men have gone "untapped about whose qualifications there seemed to be no doubt. On the whole, how ever, those who really deserved the distinction have been admit ted, to membership- in the -order. It is altogether highly com mendable that the members of the Fleece spend so many weeks in deliberation over those they intend to tap. A member of the order is obligated to consider each man in the entire .student body regardless of prejudice or affiliation. Each Fleece mem ber should vote on men not ac cording to his personal reaction but according to the amount of service the man has rendered the student body as well as on . a Continued on page two) an estimated gain of only $10. Managers of stores in both of these dormitories , give as reasons for the small profit the fact that their stores have not been operating daily as many hours as the stores in other dor mitories, since business did not demand it. For the fall and winter quarters Carr depended upon the medical students for an appreciable number of cus tomers, but this quarter the change in schedules of these students has cut off to some'ex tent their purchases. : Several reasons for the - de crease in sales have been given. The operators of stores in the two quadrangles state that quite a few boys moved to fraternity houses and to .Old East, Old West, and Steele, since these dormitories are more centrally located. A' number of the man agers said that the students are "just plumb broke." However it is the general opinion of the operators that business will pick up since many students, study harder after mid-term and consequently refresh themselves more frequently. Several man agers staed that their stores were literally swamped during examination week. As the school year comes to a close more ac curate results will be reported.
