Ferger Suggests Harmonic Mean Of Price Relatives as Index To Retail Prices. r . Although little publicity has been afforded the Student Loan Fund Drive for some time, con tributions have continued to come in regularly. The money is being loaned out as fast it is received, so that much work still remains to be performed be fore the goal of the drive is at tained. Over $25,000 has been loaned to more than 500 students since March 1. The latest con tribution to the fund is a dona tion of $222 from the Charlotte alumni. The total received by April 1 was $19,435.40. Since that date the $25,000 donation by Mrs. Jesse Kenan Wise, an, anony mous gift of $10,000, and mis cellaneous contributions of $803.25 have swelled the total to $55,238.65. The goal is $100,000 for this school year and a like sum for next year. Alumni Aid Drive The alumni are hard at work to attain this goal. The medical unit has appointed a committee which sent letters to all medical alumni urging them to lend their aid. President Graham tps been making numerous speeches to alumni erouns in various CJ A - cities, and the results are ap narpnt. in ia nrncrrpiRS that IS being made in the drive. If tViA ririvp is Riiccpssful. it means that a large number of students will be enabled to con tinue their studies at the Uni versity who would otherwise have to drop out of school. An idea of the number of students who will be affected by the suc cess or failure of the drive is shown by the fact that 555 boys have been aided by the student loan fund since March 1. More than $25,000 has been loaned to students since that date. All ap plications for loans have been taken care of up to the present, but there is no surplus, as the money is loaned out to students as fast as contributors -send it; in. Many Fail to Return There is no way of knowing how many students failed to re turn to school this quarter on account of lack of funds. Quite a few, probably, knowing the scarcity of money in the loan fund and the uncertainty oi being able to borrow any dur ing the quarter, dropped out after the winter quarter and ap plied for jobs. Thus, although all applications for money have been filled so far, the dirve must continue so that students will be assured that when they return to school next fall they will be able to borrow enough money from the student- loan fund to enable them to continue their studies. - According to Thorndike Sa ville of the school of engineer ing, the greatest conservation problem facing North Carolina is "the allocation and use of the varied water resources in the state." Saville, speaking yester day in assembly, mentioned the more important forms of our water wealth and discussed problems which must be solved before it will be possible to use this natural wealth to the great est economic advantage. Rivers Contribute Saville stated that rivers of the state contributed water power, but that spring floods and summer draughts made it im possible to be assured ol a steady source of hydro-electric power. Many plans to regulate the seasonal flow of rivers have been tried, not least of which is the project being successfully carried out on the Saluda river in South Carolina. An artificial basin drains off excess water in time of flood and turns it again into the river system in time of draught. In this way, a con tinual flow of water insures constant supply of electricity. Many of the power plants in this state are closed a part of the year because of low water. Lake Basins Lake basins constitute, an other source of wealth. In the eastern part of the state lakes (Continued on last page) Dr. Wirth F. Ferger, of the department of economics and commerce, spoke to the econom ics seminar t Wednesday even ing on "The Determination of Elasticities of Demand and their use in Economics." He stated that one of the newer developments in the ap plication of statistical methods to the solution of the economic theory, as well . as for applied j economics, is tne measurement of the elasticity of the demand for individual commodities, which is the relative degree to which a change in price affects the quantities that the consumer purchases. Dr. Ferger discussed the longheld theory that the demand for necessities without satisfac tory substitutes is quite inelas tic, which also applies to arti cles of customary consumption as well as several other classes of commodities. "But statisti cal measurements have correct ed some of the details of the theory," he said, "and has shown the necessitv of broadening the - v concept of demand. "The purchases of speculators and dealers will react, for in stance, more to expected price changes than to present prices. Many intricate problems arise in statistically estimating de mand curves and elasticities, one of the most fundamental being (Continued on last page) Six students of the Univer sity are to leave for Greensboro today where the third annua congress of the North Carolina student federation will take place today and tomorrow.

Rose, Jr., vice-president of the Fed eration, will also attend. Closer relations between the higher educational institutions of the state have been advanced as the chief aim of the organiza tion. The federation has receiv ed the commendation of many state educational leaders as an instrument of service to every college and university in North Carolina.

For those necessities of life, light, heat, and water the Uni versity maintains a water and power plant of more than village or town proportions. The water plant is capable of furnishing the dormitories and recitation halls, as well as Chapel Hill, with one million gallons of water each day. Three boilers, with 380 horsepower and generators of 700 kilowatt capacity, are the nucleus of the heat and light systems. Each year the power plant uses about 70,000 tons of coal which produces 2,700,000 kilo watt hours. This power in con junction with approximately 750,000 hours purchased from the Duke power concern, fur nishes the electricity used by the University. It is utilized in lighting the buildings of the University and Chapel Hill, in addition to pumping water for common usage. Boilers Run by Coal The boilers are run by coal from West Virginia deposits. It is fed into the boilers by an automatic screw which gathers it in from the pit into which it is dumped from the delivery cars. At 12 :00 each night the Uni versity power is cut off and the Duke nower turns on. It is this change of current which ac- counts for the inevitable blink ing of the lights at midnight. Morgan's creek is the source of the University's water sup ply. At present the intake is engineered through means of an ordinary pit, but a dam is sched uled for completion by the fall quarter' of the coming year. As has been frequently announced, this dam will facilitate and im prove the University water power situation to a high degree of efficiency and economy. Carefully Tested Two centrifugal pumps, with a capacity of 35,000 gallons per hour, force the .water from the creek bed up to the run. The water is then carefully tested by the total count and indicator tests. In the raw water coming from the creek there is a bac terial count of 200 per cc. Each day from twenty-five to 200 pounds of alum, and between five and seventy-five pounds of lime are used for purposes of purifi cation. After this process approxi mately seventy-five per cent of the sediment is removed by means of filters and settling basins. Since niters must be cleaned at least once every fifty hours, a rate controler regulates the flow of the water. The filter method removes approximately (Continued on last page)
