MANY-SIDED QUESTION
" Beneath the book situation are basic fundamentals which
must be borne in mind in any analysis. One is that the ordering
of books is a multifarous activity which involves above all the
interests of the student; The students' interests might be con
sidered just as strongly from the light of availability of all books,
'speed and dispatch in their delivery, and service in their dispen
sation as well as economy. And it is obvious that economy is
' considerably dependent on those other factors.
For example, that the Book Exchange must charge list prices
on text books is obligatory because only through that method can
it retain its A-l rating with publishers and have all the many de
sired texts available. It assumes, therefore, the responsibility
of providing many different books. A private book store can
neglect this fact because it can sell only a few texts, and can cut
the mice because it does not need and does not, have the con
,.fidence of all publishers. ... ;::--,.
. This does not mean that the Book Exchange cannot make
refunds if any profits accrue. We urge that such a procedure be
followed. But we must remember that such a profit shows only
' if the ordering of books is carried on with the least possible loss
"in left-over copies. And left-over copies often result from cut
prices in private stores.
This is only a small part of the situation which the advisory
committee should explain. It illustrates an axiom which we
seem to be forgetting, which holds in general that liberty is ef
fective only as it acts within the law. We may need some sort
of obligation to buy books at a central University-operated
" store where savings can eventually be effected.

An Interested Student
Co-op Member
CREAM-SKIMMING
Many campus organizations show signs of renewed activity in
the field of vocational information. We are vocationally con
scious. Simultaneously there has been a 300 per cent pick-up
in the number of firms seeking Carolina graduates. Is the Uni
versity performing its second duty in co-ordinating this student
enthusiasm with actual, material placement in real jobs?
- Prior to 1930 there was a so-called "vocational bureau, but the
depression and its general inadequate service caused its abolition.
Today only necessarily insignificant attention is given the matter
by Dean Bradshaw in the mad whirl of his multifarious duties.
A full-time guidance and placement director today would have
effected another 300 per cent higher placement record, declares
Dean Bradshaw. The University is not performing to any de
gree of fullness its function of helping students find jobs. 1
To eliminate all lost motion between firm representatives and
students, thereby securing better jobs for more students, this
bureau director must be a guidance as well as placement man. He
must know each student, his character, interests, abilities, and
attitudes. Such a man must be a full-time psychologist, not an
application filing secretary. Such a director would have to help
each student work out his curriculum in the light of satisfying
the students' aptitude and interest requirements certainly a
.University service.
But the establishment of an adequate vocational bureau in
volves budget manipulations. Michigan sets aside $14,000 a year
for her placement bureau; stretching the point, we are allotting
today at most, less than $1,000. If this guidance and placement
is an essential University service, it should not be entirely omitted
from the budget. V

William Philip Simms, Scripps
Howard foreign editor, had a
keen analysis of the present Eu
ropean situation. in the March 16
issue of the Washington Daily
News. Part of his article is
quoted below.
. In reading his comments
on Hitler's military occupa
tion of the Rhineland, it
should be remembered that
Hitler's move is only an in
cident in a connected chain
of events. It is more a
symbol than anything else.
After all, there are not now
enough Germans on the
French frontier to really
threaten war. The signifi
cance of their being on the
frontier lies in what they
forecast for the future
Germany is determined to be
come a first class power. To do
this, she must engage in inter
national politics. I think it is
important to stress that word
"politics." International affairs
are markedly similar to national
maneuverings, with the import-,
ant difference that in national
affairs statesmen generally have
the last word, while in interna
tional relations the last word
is spoken by the bullet.
So Germany will r. maneuver,
Hitler will :"politic," public opin
ion will be sought, nations will
be weighed against one another,
and eventually -who. knows? As
for- the. present European crisis,
Simms is able to find three pos
sible outcomes. He has been in
Europe and has talked, with
some of its leaders. Here are
the conclusions.
"Europe therefore, I find, is
seen as having reached the long
dreaded parting of the ways. She
must now take one of these
three roads:
"First, a compromise solution
which will admit Germany as a
full-fledged partner in a general
scheme of European peace, per
haps revolving about a reconsti
tuted and reinforced League of
Nations of which she would
again become a member.
"Second, failing this, Ger
many . must be t surrounded by a
coalition so united and so power
ful that she would not dare
commit an aggression.'
"Third, if neither of these
proves practicable, then Europe
will split up'into two or more
quarreling camps, speed up the
present perilous armament race
and finally blew up with a bang.
"Only the first of these three
roads is looked upon as holding
out any real hope of long avoid
ing general conflict. And not
many believe that Europe in her
present mood will prove sane
enough to engage in it.
"The second solution would
merely postpone the issue with
Germany, an embittered waiting
prisoner, has a chance to hack
her way out.
If the powers commit the
folly of taking the third course,
it is universally admitted that
war will be the inevitable result
in the not distant future, with
Japan in the Far East almost
certainly joining in against Rus
sia and perhaps against China."

Twenty-five thousand people
heard the outdoor production of
"Mark Anthony" although not
all of those people saw the show.
The C. C. C. boys did not like
"Julius Caesar," but strangely
enough, they liked "The Taming

Concerning the publicity of the
troupe the 'actor said: "We
have at least secured the sanc

if you don't think that is hard,
just try and get it."
Thomas Carnehan, who play
