After outlining the develop ment of the cotton industry -from the time of its beginning up to the present, Sloan, stated one of the main causes, for the present depression in this line : Textiles Had No Boom "In the face of industrial prosperity which was generally evident throughout the country during the several years prior to 1930, the cotton mills, as a rule, operated under grave dif ficulties and with little or no profit. One of the principal rea sons was the shrinkage of de mand for cotton products follow ing the World War. This was a particularly unfortunate devel opment because our facilities for manufacturing had been greatly expanded to meet military re quirements." Sloan went on to say that this expansion brought about the practice of night operations, and widely scattered manufact (Continued on last page) WILSON PRAISES SOUTH'S WORK IN BOOR COLLECTING University Librarian Stresses Lack of Adequate Special Collections in Country. .Before the evening meeting of the Bibliographical Society of America, meeting in New Or leans this week, Dr. Louis Round Wilson, librarian of the Univer sity and nationally recognized authority on library administra tion and science, presented a pa per yesterday on "Special Col lections in Southeastern Univer sities."

Commons Hall T7as Forerunner Of Present Dining Service Of Campus o Swain Hall Feeds Approximately Five Hundred and Gives Employment to Seventy-Five Students4 Besides Acting As Stabilizer of Board Prices in Chapel HilL . --o In addition to serving daily an approximate average of 500 boarders, Swain hall offers em ployment to over, seventy-five self-help students. Its purpose is not only to serve as a means of aiding students to w7ork their way through school, but to maintain a profit sharing policy which makes possible an efficient dining service, at the lowest cost. Whenever it is able to do so, Swain hall buys produce offer ed for sale by students. It acts as a stabilizer of board prices in Chapel Hill. In spite of the fact that competition has offered a serious problem, Swain hall has managed to hold its own against the various boarding houses in town and to prevent any unfair boosting . of prices. Even if there were any monthly profits, states Manager' Obie Harmon, the surplus would be spent in improving the board. In this way, he . explains, the stu aents eating at swam nan re ceive a direct share in whatever profit may be made. BELL ANNOUNCES N. Y. MED RULING Three Years Pre-Med Course, or Two Years A.B. Plus Medical Sub jects, Now Required. Dr. James Munsie Bell, dean of the school of applied science, has called attention to a new ruling which has recently come York. Up to the present, the requirements have included the completion of the first two i years of the A. B. curriculum, jbut the new ruling requires a i three year academic curriculum for the preparation of the study of medicine. There are there fore two programs of study pos- jsible for a student here if he wishes to study medicine in New York state: completion of the first two years of the A. B. cur riculum plus additional' subjects, such as biology, chemistry, etc., required by the medical school, or completion of the first three years of B. S. in medicine curri culum. Dr. Bell also calls ' attention to the fact that all courses must be taken in residence, since cor respondence credit is not re cognized. Meyer to Attend Conference Dr. .Harold D. Meyer of the sociology department will attend a meeting of the Tri-State rec reational conference in Durham Friday and Saturday. The dele gates are from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. For the Sunday Issue of The Daily Tar Heel Will Deal With Foreign and Campus Affairs Germany's Political Situation A Course in University Slang The forerunner of Swain hall was old Commons hall, which stood on the present site of Phil lips. Until 1914, "Commons," as it was called at that time, board ed about 150 students, and gave employment to seventeen. Managed Bjr Dixons Mr. and Mrs. Billy Dixon managed Commons hall, and "Mrs. Billy" took a great deal of interest in the boys who worked in the kitchen. Dean Bradshaw, who, as a self-help student, was employed by the University din ing' service, recalls how Mrs. Billy, inevitably in the kitchen, would delight in doctoring her assistants with home-made remedies at the slightest sym tom of a cold, "spring fever," or any other malady peculiar to college students. Before the war, board at Commons hall was fourteen dol lars per month, yet; people. were complaining of the high cost of food, for only a few years prev ious to that time, board had been as- low as eight dollars. MISS AKERS TALKS ON CARD INDEXING Instructor Addresses Catalog Section Of American Library Associa tion in New Orleans. Susan Grey Akers, associate professor of library science at the University, Thursday ad dressed members of the catalog section of the American Library Association at the small libraries round table session, held in New Orleans in connection with the fifty-fourth annual conference of the association. Miss Akers discussed "The Training of Catalog Librarians to Meet the Present Demand in Small Libraries." In summing up the points she had made, she said: "If the emphasis on fitting the catalog to the needs of the users of the library has taken hold up on the consciousness of library school students, they will be able to catalog for small libraries, whether school, public, college, or university (or for that mat ter to go into catalog depart ments of large libraries) , doing professional catalog work, in so far as an intelligent person with a moderate amount of training ana little or no experience can do so. They will be able to sep arate clerical from professional work and will try out different methods and explain them to their clerical workers. By so do ing, costs of cataloging will be cut even m the small library and more time freed for the task of bringing the reader into touch with the book which he desires for his recreational, education al or vocational advancement." Collier Cobb Speaks On Man And Nature' Dr. Collier Cobb spoke to the initiates of Sigma Gamma Epsi lon, geographical fraternity, last night on the topic "Man and Na ture." His closing words were: "There is abundant evidence that men who see deeply into nature see religiously. They see every where not chance but design. The God of organic evolution is not the occasional wonder-worker of the old theology, but an eminent Divinity, an ever-present God, working toward defin ite ends. Just because the young man of today cannot be religious in the same way that his grand mother was is no reason why he cannot be even more religious and in a very definite way, SELDEN WRITING -BOOKS ON DRAMA AND STAGE WORK Associate Director of Playmakers Compiling Manual for Drama tists and Directors. m Samuel Selden, associate di rector and technical adviser of the Carolina Playmakers, is now engaged in writing two books which will be published shortly. His nearly completed volume, Dramatic Practice, is to be used as a textbook for students of dramatics. Selden, in referring to the aim of his book said, "The purpose of the book would be to supply a need which I feel exists for a short, comprehensive, an alytical, and thoroughly practi cal manual of dramatic practice with the emphasis laid on train ing. I have looked in vain for such a book to be, used in my own classes in acting and direct- ing. All tne standard textDooKs now on the market have a ten dency, I feel, to be limited in the subject matter they treat and to lack definition and organization. While they present excellent general discussions on certain phases of technique, none of them, in my estimation, proper ly integrates its material or of fers sufficiently convenient 'hand les' for lifting out into practice the helpful suggestions buried in its pages. The volume which it is my ambition to write would attempt' to fill these 'lacks.' " A name for the second book has not yet been chosen. Hubert Heffner, former director of the Playmakers and now at North western University, and. H. D. Sellman, co-author with' Selden of Stage Scenery and Lighting, are both working in conjunction with Selden in the writing of this second handbook. Selden, is writing the sections dealing with scenery. Sellman handles the subject of stage lighting, and Heffner surmliP the techniaue of directing. Nearly eight-thousand copies of Stage Scenery and Lighting have been sold. The greatest demand for the book comes from little theatres, dramatic clubs, and students of dramatics. Sale Of Booklets Will Close Today The sale of senior invita tions will be brought to a close, this afternoon, members of the committee announced last night. After extending the time for several days, the committee will complete the sale today, giving the seniors their last opportunity to ob tain the booklets. A booth will be open in the lobby of the Y. M. C. A. build ing at chapel period today and up until 5 :00 this afternoon. NEW INITIATES OF PHI BETA KAPPA HEAR DR. GROVES Forty-Two Elected to Honorary , Society; J. H.

Pro fessor Groves spoke on "Social Loyalty:" He congratulated the new members upon the distinc tion that they had won, and aidicu tiiciL iiiusl ux mem wuuiu rise to leadership. ' "But," he asked, "have you the pluck for social loyalty ?" Loyalty is the strongest of social virtues and has always been one, he said. But in America today the de mands of the individual have be come more important, and loyal ty to the common good has weak ened. The "every man for him self " philosophy has seeped into politics and has began to under (Continued on last page) FORMER EDITORS WILL BE HONORED AT LAWBANQUET Alumni Are Invited to Attend Annual Function Which Occurs May 13.
