You can't ask him to spend his money for books. I would recommend that he buy a set of Everyman's Lib rary or the Oxford Classics at 90 cents each, arid for five or six dollars he could have quite a collection of good books with all the fields well covered," was the advice that Professor Phil lips Russell gave when he was asked what constitutes a good student library. Miss Nora Beust, of the lib rary science school, said: "I think the student should decide just what he or she is most in terested in and buy a good out line of the subject in order to learn the breadth of the field. Then he should take one narrow phase of the subject and begin to collect books accordingly. For example, if the student were interested in photography, he might want to buy Dr. Paul Wolff's "My First Ten Years With a Leica." "Of course there are so many different types of libraries.

Paramount did not buy a pig in a poke. They bought a wild boar which they are afraid to turn loose, for fear it will hurt somebody. Now they are looking for an army and a country in which a mutiny and a court martial can take place. Paramount knows of countries in which these have happened, but it can't afford to offend any government. For this reason and others, Humphrey Cobb's "Paths of Glory," the facts in which Mr. Cobb says are authentic, lies unfilmed. And though the facts are admittedly true, to the French government they are em barrassing.

One of the trucks has been rigged up with an electrical de vice which can be attached to any of the overhead power lines. When a frozen pipe is located two wires from the truck are connected to it. A strong current is then sent through the wires and through the pipe, warming it enough to melt the ice. This method makes digging up the entire pipe line unnecessary. We Apologize The statements which ap peared in yesterday's issue of the Daily Tar Heel and attri buted to Herbert Katzenstein, German student at the" Uni versity, were not made by him in the interview. His state ments which . appeared were purely figments of the inter viewer's imagination, and the Daily Tar Heel apologizes for the reporter's deliberate dis tortion of the facts. PLAYERS TO GIVE TATHS OF GLORY IN HAIXTONIGHT Playmakers will Present Sidney Howard's Famous Anti-War Play in Memorial Hall TREATS DELICATE SUBJECT According to Director Davis, last minute details have been completed, for Sidney Howard's "Paths of Glory" to be given in Memorial hall tonight at 8:30 by the Carolina Playmakers. The play is adapted from the novel of the same name by Humphrey Cobb. Costumes are by Mrs. Ora Mae Davis. Pro fessor Davis designed the light ing and John Walker is in charge of it during production. Sound effects, created by Robert Scott will interpret the noises of bombs, machine guns, marching troops, and all the noise and confusion of a typical World War battle. Mrs. Davis has secured the same costumes used in the original production last fall in New York. New- Method According to Mr. Davis, the audience will be presented with something different in the meth od of production. A formal set ting, characterized by simplic ity, is used throughout the 17 scenes and a minimum of prop erty is utilized. The curtain will not be drawn at all during the entire course of the play, arid house lights will only be raised uringthe 10-minute inter mission at the end of the first half of the play.
