Ed Lanier And Brother Give Own Version Of Good Samaritian Act ' o Self -Help Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and His Brother Give Up Their Beds in Room to Two Gentlemen Slightly Misin formed by Sign "Guest Room" Painted on Door. PHI TO DISCUSS PARTY POLITICAL ACTMTYON HILL Bills Concerning New FootbaU Rules and Birth Control WiU Also Be Discussed. Ed Lanier, self-help secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and his broth er, Brasel, struck a new high re cently for interpretation of the much-quoted Good Samaritan act. ' ! The occurrence, which might be likened to the legend of the Arab and his camel, occurred last Friday evening. The broth ers, who room at the "Y," went to the mid-night show. Thor oughly unaccustomed to. return ing to their domiciles at the un earthly hour of 2:00 a. m., they were keenly intent on getting to bed as quickly as possible. Upon arriving at their sleep ing quarters, they were aston ished to find their beds occupied by two heavily snoring and ap parently unconcerned young gentlemen. At this point, the Good Samaritan touch entered the proceedings. Showing a true Y. M. C. A. spirit of fraternity to all their fellows, they tip-toed out of the room to another di- con- rectly across the hall.

LAW SCHOOL TO SPONSOR DANCE THURSDAY NIGHT Hamilton-Hobgood who did his own Samaritan act by obligingly offering to take care of Brasel. Despite his exemplary action toward the intruders, curiosity eventually mastered Ed and he returned to find out what those two fellows were doing in his room. When he reached his des tination, he suffered the third shock of what must have been one astounding evening to him. Just a Mistake The invaders were wide-awake and thoroughly up and about. After profuse apologies, Ed dis covered that they were led to enter the room by an erroneous sign on the door bearing the in formation "Guest Room." This sign was painted on the door some years ago, before Ed took over the room as permanent quarters. The pair had just arrived from Wilmington for the Vand erbilt game and had evidently been well-informed of the hospi tality and service accorded by the Y. M. C. A. The general self-help director topped off the evening by telling his "guests" to go right ahead and use the room for a good night's rest. His own resting place that night is still a matter of conjecture. New Instructors In Romance Languages The Romance language de partment has two new teachers to take the place of two who have not returned this year. J. A. Hamilton, Jr., is teaching French in the place of Mr. Stab ler. Mr. Hamilton taught last year at the Citadel. Mr. F. C. Hayes is a part-time instructor in Spanish, taking the place of Gallardo. Both of these new in structors are , very capable in structors and are valuable addi tions to the department. The Romance language de partment, with Dr. W. M. Dey as the head, is one of the most efficient and active departments in the University. Although it has been short of three men for offer able instruction. PROFIT SHOWN IN RECENT AUDIT OF P. U. BOARD BOOKS Publications Union Board De clares Profit for the First Time in Its History. The University publications board showed a net profit for the year 1931-32 of $2,788.19, according to an audit issued last week by Professor J. M. Lear, treasurer of the Publications Union Board. The statement re leased showed that the Bucca neer was the only publication that was published at a loss, the amount being $44.90. This is the best year's operation for the past three years. A similar statement issued last year for the year 1930-31 revealed a total net loss of $1,- 182. The greatly better financial condition this year results from increased student fees, lower printing costs, and a more effi cient administrative policy, es pecially in the collection of bills. During the year 1930-31, the Yackety Yack was the only pub lication that showed a net pro- Beginning October 13, the f nr th vp.ar. as comoared University extension division will with every publication showing i i n J 1 1 conduct a series oi twelve lec- a profit this year except the Hue- . tures at Henderson which have Caneer.
