(Continued on last page)
Current circulation in the
University library is on the up
grade according to figures " re
leased last week by R. ,B. Downs,
assistant librarian. Compared
with statistics for the winter
quarter of 1931, the past quar
ter shows a substantial increase
in circulation. However, use of
the library during the fall quar
ter was less than that of the be
ginning of the school year
1930-31.
It would thus appear that as
the depression continues, the li
brary increases in popularity.
The wails of the booksellers can
readily be answered by the in
creasing use oi libraries, not
only in Chapel Hill, but through-,
out the country as well.
Despite the fact that during
the present school year the Uni
versity library has purchased
few of the newer books, the fic
tion and special publication
shelves have been in constant
use. The small number of recent
books which have been made
available are quite naturaliy
most difficult to obtain. Fur
thermore, the special displays of
drama and poetry which' have
been featured during the year
have met with considerable suc
cess. Preference Shown
Statistics from the library
are also indicative, to a certain
extent, of the reading prefer
ence of University students.
Circulation shows that in fiction
works some fifty books are pop
ularitv leaders. Among those
greatest in demand are S. S.
Van -Dine's The Scarab Murder
Case, Eden .Phillpott's Clue
From the Stars, and -A Buried
Treasure, Elizabeth Madox Rob
erts latest work.
The list does not confine it
self to mystery and adventure
stories, but rather shows a wide
reading choice upon the part of
the University. The Diary of a
Provincial Lady rivals W. R.
Burnett's gangster tale, t Little
Caesar, in popular appeal, while
Edith Wharton's select society
novels have as large a following
as the western epic of Zane
Grey.
Interest in Local Writers
According to the figures much
interest is shown in the works
of University writers. Thomas
Wolfe's Look Homeward Angel
is easily one of the most sought-
after novels in the library and
Paul Green's several publica
tions have a definite following of
their own. Moreover, the large
number of volumes written by
other faculty members are also
in reasonably constant use.
The most read non-fiction in
cludes biography and drama, al
though travel books find consid
erable favor. At the present
time Paul Green's The House of
Connelly is one of the most fre
quently circulated plays on the
library's shelves. The autobio
graphies range from Count von
Luckner's to that of Mahatma
Ghandi, while the leading bio
graphies include those of Bis
marck and Isadora Duncan. The
most popular travel books run
from African experiences to the
South America writings in Jul
ian Duguid's Green Hell.
COMMITTEE WILL
FINISH SALE OF
BOOKLET TODAY
Full Opportunity Still Given to
Those Wanting Senior
Invitations.
After a week of intensive ac
tivity in the selling of the senior
invitations, the sale will close
tonight. The'booths w,ill be open
today, however, the invitation
committee announced, to give
the seniors the last opportunity
to place their orders.
During assembly period this
morning and during the after
noon, orders may be placed at
Pritchard-Lloyd drug store and
at the Y. M. C. A. for the book
lets which will serve as invita
tions an d mementoes. In addi
tion to these hours, booths will
be open in the early evening at
Pritchard-Lloyd's and at Sut
ton's. ,
Engravers Have Material
The material tofbe used in the
invitations has already gone to
the engravers, the Elliot Com
pany of Philadelphia. The invi
tations, which are made up in
booklet form have leather or
cardboard covers of Carolina
blue on which are embossed the
University seal and name, the
year, and- in a block-inset, a
drawing of the Morehead-Pat-terson
bell tower.
Since the booklets used this
year have been obtained at a
great reduction, more orders
are being placed than in prev
ious years. The leather-bound
invitations are secured in dozen
lots this year for $5.40 as com
pared with the $9.00 of last year
and the paper-bound invitations
are sold at $2.40 a dozen while
the cost last year was $3.60.
The committee has announced
that anyone may purchase the
booklets and that only fifty per
cent of the amount of the order
is required as a deposit at the
time of the order, the remain
der to be paid on delivery which
will be two or three weeks be
fore the close of this quarter.
The Order of the Golden
Fleece will round out its third
decade of campus activity tomor
row night at 8:30 in Memorial
hall when it engages in its thir
tieth annual tapping, of the
most outstanding University
leaders. Prior to the ceremony,
Henry L. Stevens, national com
mander of the American Legion,
will deliver an address upon the
general, topic of "Character." .
The ritual attendant to Gold
en Fleece tapping has long been
considered one of the most color
ful sights offered by any Uni
versity society. Accordingly, it
has always, been well-attended
by not only juniors and seniors,
but freshmen, sophomores, and
townspeople as well.
Immediately following the
close of Commander Stevens' ad
dress, two members of the soc
iety in black vestments, with a
fleece draped on their left shoul
ders will commence to parade
the aisles. Their solemn, im
pressive march will be inter
rupted only to designate men
from the audience, who are the
current choice of the society.
Announces List
When all the new men have
been tapped the Jason, Mayne
Albright, will announce the"
complete list from the platform.
Following the exercises in
Memorial Jiall, the new members
will be feted by the active mem
bers of the order in the ban
quet hall of Graham Memorial.'
The secret initiation of the neo
phytes is administered one week
after their tapping,
v Selecting men, as it does, . on
the basis of character, service,
and cooperation, Golden Fleece
tappings have usually admitted
a small number of men to the

ing that system to the student
body.
