KNOW YOUR
(EDITOR'S NOTE: In the same
courses was presented before the holidays, the Daily Tar Heel continues with
this issue a comprehensive summary, 6f campus institutions with the idea
cf causing every citizen of the University to become better acquainted with
t- policies and systems of operation of his service organizations.)
UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS DEPARTMENT
The University buildings de-J
partment is carpenter, janitor,
gardener, plumber, and electri
cian for the entire campus. Per
forming most of the manual la
bor connected with the upkeep
of University property, it re
lieves the student body of many
household problems by its jan
itor and repair service in the
dormitories and by its trucking
and construction work.
The care of the dormitories
and classroom buildings is a
chief ) function of the depart
ment. A staff of approximately
fifty janitors is employed to
tend these buildings.' Excent
for the stadiums and athletic
fields, the upkeep of all Univer
sity buildings arid property is
tfnder the supervision of the
department. '
Small Mill Maintained
A small mill is maintained for
the repair work on University
property. Equipped with ail
necessary paraphernalia, it is in
the mill that dormitory furni
ture is repaired, and cabinets,
chairs, and tables for the library
and other buildings - are con
structed. The department owns
two key-bit machines with
which are cut all keys used for
University property. According
to P. L. Burch. superintendent
of buildings, few keys are lost
during regular college sessions
but the -girls who occupy the
dormitories . during summer
school seem to be incapable of
keeping their . Iceys for any
length of tjme. Spencer hall has
charge of the keys 'for co-eds.
Care of Grounds
The care of the University
grounds is another important
function of the buildings , de
partment. The arboretum is a
particular point of pride with
the force of five men which is
responsible for the maintenance
of the grounds. In addition to

Raleigh Man, Loyal Democrat
Announces His Candidacy
Favoring Selected
Standing upon his record in
the 1931 legislature, John W.
Hinsdale of Raleigh recently an
nounced his candidacy for the
state senate to succeed himself.
In his statement concerning
his candidacy Senator Hinsdale,
who was the author of the se
lected commodity sales tax bill
which was defeated by one vote
in the senate after once having
been adopted by both houses of
the " legislature, expressed his
f afth in the measure and pledged
himself to present it again in
the next session of the general
assembly. Pointing to the pres
ent state deficit, he said that his
vote against the 1931 revenue
bill was justified.
Stands for Economy
Stating his platform, Senator
Hinsdale declared, "I stand for
economy in the administration
of state government and in the
management of the schools, but
I am opposed 'to any economy
hat will cripple the usefulness
of the schools." He expressed
his opposition to a general sales
tax and to the short ballot.
Hinsdale was graduated from
the University, in 190O.fwith;:a
Ph.B. degree, and ' in-1901' he

this famous garden, the duties
of this force include freeing the
campus of refuse, cutting the
grass, arid tending to he trees
and, shrubs. This work con
tinues throughout the whole
year, gardening sometimes be
ing supplanted by shoveling
snow. Recently the trees on
thecampus were fertilized by
the department, and at present
the grounds around Graham
Memorial are being beautified
and planted with grass and
shrubs. ' .
Handles, Woodwork, Etc
In its woodwork, plumbing,
and painting activities the, de
partment employs some eighty
men, and often utilizes the part-
time services of students. The
ability of the buildings depart
ment to accomplish large-scale
work is shown by the fact that
Carr dormitory, Smith building,
Pharmacy building, and the ex
ecutive mansion have been re
modeled by the University plant.
It has also constructed much of
the furniture used in the library
and recitation halls.- No work
other than University commis
sions is. performed at the build
ings department. t . . .
Well-Equipped Supply Room
An x adequate supply room is
an", integral part of the plant.
Everything from bolts to boilers
is stored there and meted but
to the various departments-as
they require hardware supplies.
The students' chief contact with
this division is procuring new
electric light bulbs and other
room equipment.
The present buildings depart
ment is a result of the construc
tion program instituted on the
campus twelve years ago. Be
fore that time a small mainten
ance force served the purpose,
but with the expansion of the
University, an efficiently organ
ized department was a necessity.

his assembly talk yesterday
morning.
"He has been novelist, music,
art, and drama critic; during
the war he was the most widely
read playwright; and today he
the most famous Socialist. His
thinking has influenced the
thought of the world more than
any man's has since Tolstoy.
" W(hat is life but a series of
inspired follies?'" Dr. Hender
son quoted from one of Shaw's
plays. Many people said that
Einstein's theory was folly be
cause it tore down 3. scientific
structure which had existed for
two hundred years, explained
the speaker. In the same man
ner, he said, many people re
garded Woodrow Wilson's Lea
gue of Nations and Lindbergh's
flight across the Atlantic until
they began to call them "inspire
ed follies."
Dr. Henderson claimed that
it was the same sort of inspired
folly which .prompted him to
write the biography of George
Bernard Shaw. "I wrote him a
letter telling him of my desire
and received, after an anxious
wait a postcard requesting my
photograph. "Now-the photo
