- Through the- generosity of
donor who prefers to remain un
known, students now have ac

located in the . small lounge of
the Graham Memorial.
Dean R. B. House received

ago with the wish that it be
used to advantage for the gen
eral good of the University.
"Wishing to increase the interest
in philosophy, Dean House has
directed that the money be
used for the purchase and in
stallation of a library designed
to foster increased student ac
- tivity in this field.
A portion of the money was
used last spring to purchase
some desirable books for the col
lection and the library was set
up at the beginning of this year.
All books are purchased through
Cornelia Love, Order Librarian
of the University Library, thus
effecting a considerable dis-
count.
The library will be open for
use at all times, though no books
mav be removed from the
lounge.

First Act
20 Percent Increase Is
Predicted in Enrollment
Plans for the University of
North Carolina summer school
session of 1937 have been ex
panded "to include 12 weeks at
State and W. C. U. N. C. as well
as the regular 12-week course at
Chapel Hill. Prior to this year,
State and the Greensboro insti-
ution have had only a six-week
term.
Dr. Edgar W. Knight, director
of the consolidated summer ses
sion, said yesterday that a num
ber of requests for summer
school catalogues have already
been received and he predicts an
increase of 20 per cent in the en
rollment over last year's session.
We should have about 2,000 stu
dents here during the summer,"
said Dr. Knight.
The director of the session
said that course offerings will
differ little from those of last
summer except in the education
department. There will be fuller
offerings here for superintend
ents, principals and supervisors
of secondary schools. "There
will be a slight improvement in
summer session salaries," said
Dr. Knight. - '
Special features will be pro
vided at each of the three divi
sions. There will be conferences
on vocational and agricultural
education for the Young Tar
Heel Farmers in Raleigh.
Greensboro will offer institutes
on elementary education, home
economics, music, and parent
education.
' Chapel Hill will hold courses
in high school band and orches
tra instruction, a summer school
of photography, -a short course
for bankers, a short course in
nursing education, an art insti
tute, a conference and short
course in southern gardening,
and a coaching school.

Dean Francis Bradshaw stat
ed last night that the University
is investigating, the number of
students suffering from nervous
and emotional disturbances and
the advisability of creating an
agency to offer mental hygiene
for them.
A questionnaire has been sent
some members of the infirmary
staff, the psychology department,
the sociology department, arid
the medical school to ascertain
the extent of their acquaintance
with students in need of mental
hygiene.
The Aim
Dean Bradshaw explained
that the administration is seek
ing to solve two questions:
1 Whether current mental
hygiene work being conducted
by various departments of the
University can be better co-ordinated
and concentrated. -
2 To what extent mental hy
giene work is needed on this
campus and whether it is being
handled adequately under the
present system.
He explained that at present

chology department are handling

George Stoney Largely Respon
sible for Bringing Matter to
Attention of Authorities
By K. V. Murphy
Largely through the efforts of
George C. Stoney, University
senior, the minimum wage level
for all self help students was
raised last quarter from 25 cents
an hour to 30 cents an hour.
Stoney, after discussion with
various students, went to Presi
dent Frank P. Graham, and
asked if there was any possibil
ity of effecting some sort of
wage increase for self-help stu
dents. President Graham offered
to submit the proposal to Fred
Weaver, assistant to the assist
ant controller of the University,
and determine the possibility of
raising the wage standard. A
favorable reply immediately
boosted student-workers pay.
Later on in the quarter, Sto
ney talked to groups of friends
and called a meeting of all self-
help students interested inform
ing an organization for protec
tion and for furtherance of their
welfare. President Graham con
sented to address this meeting.
In his speech, the University
head announced himself in favor
of the organization and offered
his cooperation.
Immediately following Dr.
Graham's talk, a committee was
selected to act on the proposi
tion, and of the nine members,
the majority killed the proposed
union.
Some of the objections raised
by committee members and oth
ers pointed out that any sort of
union of self-help students would
tend to set them apart from
their more fortunate fellows.
Some others could see no good
or benefit to be derived from a
"labor union" and naturally fol
lowed the dictates of their own
opinions in voting on the hill.
