VANDALS -El JURE
LIBRARY OB JECTS
Books and ' Magazines Are
Marked, Deleted, and
Stolen.
-There seems to have, been a
good - deal of misuse of books in
the main library of the Univer
sity. :r C. Ji McHail, a member
of the library staff, has some in
teresting example of mistreat-
ment of books in the library. A
book of English. Drama; written
by Nathaniel Lee and publish
ed in 1733, had a complete play
torn out of it. This book was
valuable, but now the value is
somewhat lessened: It is evident
that there are some people who
don't like either- detective stor-
ies or the University library.
Here is a quotation Which had
been typewritten on the title
page, "This is a hell of - a detec
tive story book. It is a mystery
to me how anyone could go wild
over it. - The University library
is not worth a j tinker's dam
though."; u r .
Some, of the folks who don't
like books have a sense of hu
mor, however, according to C. J.
McHail of the library. Some
students borrowed a book entit
led Traveling Through Asia.
When the book . was returned,
this addition had been inked
after the title, "on a Mule." Ra
fael Sabatini"s Carolinian had
so many pages torn from it that
it had to be , discarded. Then
there are the persons who like to
underscore and underline state
ments in books. Such people will
sometimes ruin a book by" mak
ing marks on practically every
page, . -.' ;.v
. .The, books which contain
handsome plates and engravings
are often minus the plates or en
gravings on being retured to
the library. Then there is the
problem of those books which
are considered "hot" or "dar
ing," These books are usually
stolen, if they are not closely
watched. Even reference books
are'not immune from mutilation.
Certain volumes of encycloped
ias have been badly marked, y
. Magazines are taken from the
reading room and articles are
clipped from them.- . According
to several people in the student
body it is quite correct to form
a personal library from the
books which canbe stolen from
the University.
BYRD FILM FEATURES

Under the auspices of the
Leonidas Pope chapter of the
United Daughters . of. the Con
federacy a . return showing of

theatre on Sunday afternoon at
3 :Q0 o'clock. The admision is

withdrawal, or thinning of the

EHR1GHAUS W
Orange County Democrats Meet
In Pickwick' Theatre
f Saturday Night.
Preparations .for the monster
Democratic rally to be held
here at eight "o'clock Saturday
night, " November 1, in the old
Pickwick theatre building are
about complete, ' Ray Farris,
field secretary of the Young
People's Democratic -League of
North Carolina; said yesterday.
Mr. J. C. B. : Ehringhaus, prom
inent Democratic leader and an
alumnus of the University, will

Ehringhaus is an able and

dents as possible who are eligi

The speaker has been active in
support of Josiah W. Bailey,
Democratic senatorial candidate,
during this campaign and has
drawn large audiences wherever
he has spoken. Farris states
that Ehringhaus will not speak
at length but will make his talk
brief and direct. The topic of
his speech has not been announc
ed but he is expected to discuss
the record of the present Re
publican administration and of
the Republican party in general.
Farris is endeavoring to
awaken on the campus a sense
of political consciousness which,
according to the former student
body president, is sadly lacking.
He urgently requests that all in
terested students attend the
rally, for an interesting pro
gram has been arranged.
