T" TTm A T-lr TTtt-rm. AS THERMOSTAT BREAKS The inability of the weather man to decide whether he wishes cold or hot temperature is af fecting the University library quite seriously. The buildings department is forced to keep the fire in its furnaces going for the fear that the mercury will drop and catch them unaware. The heat in the library is reg ulated by thermostatic system. When the room heat reaches a certain temperature,- the com pressed air line, if functioning properly, will effect the thermo stat which cuts off the heat un til the room requires more warmth. The heat is renewed by the same system. The com pressed air line has a leak in it, and the Johnson service corpora tion which installs and main tains the thermostat system is now working to repair it.

CHAPEL CRITICISM SCOREDBY HOUSE Executive Secretary of Univer sity Addresses Sophomore Freshman Assembly.

House, spoke to the joint as sembly yesterday morning. Defends Programs Another item stressed by the speaker was that it is impossible to devise assembly programs that will meet the satisfaction of every member of that assembly.

Lear, treasurer of the Publications Union Board, has released, a summary of the finan cial statements of the four Uni versity publications, thte Daily Tar Heel, Carolina Magazine, Buccaneer, and Yackety Yack. The Yackety Yack was the only one of these which finished the year with a net profit. The other three went more or less into debt. The net operating loss from all publications was $1, 182. The Tar Heel was published three times a week until the ses sion 1929-30. When the ques tion of increasing the issues to six per week arose it was es timated that there would be a considerable increase in the volume Of advertising, although it was not thought that this would be doubled. Nor was it believed that it would fall off. Ads Drop Off. Since the paper has become a daily the local ads have increas ed 22 per cent, and the national ads have decreased 26 per cent.' The total income from ads in this same period shows a dropping off of $408. Most of this de cline may be attributed to the depression, but some perhaps to differences in the effort put forth by the various business managers. The amount carried as bad debts has increased con siderably in the last two ses sions. The student subscrip tions since the paper has be come a daily exceeded those of the previous period by $3,436.00. Student Fee Raised In 1929-30, the student fee for all publications was $5.00, which was distributed'as fol lows : $2.70 to the Daily Tar Heel and the Carolina Maga zine; $.55 to the Buccaneer; and $1.75' to the Yackety Yack. When the fee was increased a dollar in 1930-31, the Daily Tar Heel and the Carolina Magazine received $4.00; the Buccaneer, $.40; and the Yackety Yack, $1.60; This change explains the large increase in the Daily Tar Heel, revenue from subscrip tions, and also the decrease in the income of the Buccaneer and Yackety Yack from this source. The total expense for the ses sion 1930-31 was $945 less than the year before. This reduction resulted from a more favorable printing contract and from a re duction in the salaries of the business manager, the managing editor of the Daily Tar Heel, and the editor of the Magazine. The editor of the Daily Tar Heel receives $35.00 per month as compared with $25.00 which the editor received when the paper was a tri-weekly. The business manager received $675.00 last year as compared with $225.00 plus a commission on net cash profits of the old. tri-weekly, which amounted to between $100 and $200 a year. Delivery Expense Up The delivery expense in 1930 31 was about twice as large as it was when the paper was a tri weekly. The other items are comparatively smalland are not significantly different from prev (Continued on page three)
