T. Couch; director of the University press, has an article in the current issue of the South west Review entitled "A Uni versity Press in the South" in1 which he discloses some interest ing facts about his work. Before approaching his main subject, Tie delved briefly into history to point out the fact that tie oldest publishing houses in xiatence are the Oxford Uni versity press, established in 1478, and the Cambridge Uni versity Dress, " established in 1521. He stated, "These organi sations have determined to a great extent the course of schol arly research and publication oTer a period of nearly four hundred years . . . Other univer sity presses find in them their model, though it is out of the question to imitate them because of their large scope, their priori ty in numerous fields of study, and the long years of patient la bor which have gone into the building of their elaborate or ganizations." Outlines N. C. Press Aims In hi3 article he tells the origi nal purposes and present poli cies of the University press and speaks of the" obstacles in the way of scholarly publishing in "the south.

HUSE DISCUSS CENSORED NOVEL Declares Book Banned from Country Contains No Covered Dirt. "There is no reason for cen sorship," asserted Professor H. R. Huse of the romance lan guage department in his discus sion yesterday at the Bull's Head of James Joyce's novel, "Ulys ses," recently published by Ran dom House after being banned from the United States for more than a decade. The book, Huse maintained, contains none 01 tne conscious covering of dirt with, false giam or, as is often done by some writers whose books thus pass unscathed the rather stupid cen sors. i!J33&EDbK teUs the story of one day in the life of middle-aged, Advertising Solicitor Leopold Bloom, Jewish resident of Dub lin, and his wife, Molly, and a friend, Stephen. The particu lar day is June 16, 1904. Parallel to Odyssey It is a parallel to the Odyssey, with the characters and scenes corresponding to those in the Grecian epic Bloom is Ulysses, his wife, Molly, is Penelope, and Stephens, (the author) corre sponds to Telemachus. The book is a feat or verbal virtuosity, Huse said, and con tains every type of style from that of the cheap romance to that of Carlyle, all used inten tionally. The stream of consci ousness style, which he borrow ed from an earlier French wri ter, is very effectively and skill fully used. Huse also discussed the vari ous guides to "Ulysses," men tioning Stuart Gilbert's and the one by Paul Jordan Smith. The former is in the library and the wcuar ; tT shop, where one copy of Ulys- ses" is on the rental shelf. COMIC OPERETTA -TO PLAY TONIGHT "Princess Ida to Be Offered in Greensboro by Playmakers.

Considering her athle- tic abilities, one would assume that her constitution would keep her from seeing spectres in the deep darkness of the night. Upon its first visit, the healthy Miss Hurst, self-styled "Eng lishwoman"' said that she took it for a man. The hollow rattle of keys evidently tied to the ghost's waist made her assume that it was either of tremendous statue or it lacked feet and was floating around in the night air. 1 Though the ungodly, noises made by the ghost in its creeping through Miss Hurst's room are harsh and weird, they were not heard by the : representative of the legal profession just below the ambassador from England's room. . . ; Sex of Ghost? j "While believing the ghost an DOGWOOD AFFAIR IS INCORPORATED New Non-Stock Corporation to Hold.
