NEW METHODS TO
BE USED IN WORK
Members of Year Book Staff Ex
pect to End Photography '
Work Next Month.
The plan to be used this year
in obtaining junior and senior
pictures for the Yackety Yack is
a radical departure from the
former arrangement in that, by
class vote; the " photographer's
f ees: are paid from class dues
rather than by the individual
student, affording convenience
both to students and members of
year book staff.
j " In conjunction with this plan,
many Yackety Yack appoint
ments were made at registration
Thursday;' and" about' one hun
dred of these have ' been filled
since that time.
It is expected that by the new
system ahds early start-, the staff
willr eliminate many-poor fea
tures of the old plan and be able
to finish photography work by
the end of October.
; Co-operation of all upper
classmen is urged,-and for their
convenience, lists of those hav
ing appointments on that day
will be published in The Daily
Tar Heel. In case students
have lost appointment cards,
duplicates may be
obtained at
Wooten-Moulton's.
Thus ' far, ' appointments have
been made only for this week,
but the staff plans to get in touch
with those who have not been
reached and make arrangements
for sittings.
The editor has announced that
I there are several ; vacancies on

INCREASE OF 700
VOLffiffiSINLAW
Gifts by Alumni and Exchanges
With Other Universities :
- Main Sources.
Recent check-ups on books in
the law school library show that
the library contains at present
24,700 volumes, which is an in
crease of 700 volumes over the
number there last year. This
increase was made, possible
through gifts by prominent
alumni, through the building up
of certain sections, and through
exchanges with other universi
ties, mainly the University of
Ohio.
In the special section on state
statutes and compilations an in
crease was caused by the receipl
of new reports ahd new volumes.
The section on . special reports
made an increase by- the' pur
chase of new reports, mainly 'on
aviation and compensation.
By Writing to all the state de
partments, as the insurance,
corporation, and industrial com
missions, the library was able to
obtain much material concerning
the laws and reports of each
body. Part of this material Was
ih ; book 'form and the rest was
in pamphlets.
: 1 Another increase in library
material for the law school was
made possible by a gift of fifty
dollars, which was donated by
the law school association. 1 At
the close of last year this asso
ciation gave part of its balance
to the law school library," and
with this a five volume set of
Wigmore on Evidence and1 a set

The interf raternity council

plans for the- rushing season,
which is to begin at 2:00 o'clock
this afternoon. The council has
been delivering invitations from
the various fraternities to fresh
men since Thursday night, and
the last ones were given ouMast

All men who received invita-

each house to which they have
been invited during the first two
days of rushing, and at this time
they will make dates for future
visits.
Irvin Boyle and Alec Webb,
president and secretary-treasurer,
respectively, of the ihter
f raternity council, will- be in

; Dollar1 Fee for Bids
Following the example " of the
fraternities in many' other
schools, the council " decided ' to
charge a fee of ' one dollar to be
paid by each freshman who re
ceives a bid on bidding day. This
is to defray the-expenses which
the: council will incur during
rushing season?
Because many freshmen to
whom the fraternities wished to
send invitations were' not listed
in the freshman directory," it
was decided that each-fraternity
would be ' allowed to find out the
addresses of these from the men
