"Up Till Now," the first exception was-submitted by Nelson Lans- dale, former editor of the Buc- caneer. Lansdale, termed in the edito- rial note preceding the article as "the one-time breeding-con scious, ambitious would-be-so phisticate," writes his rather distorted views on campus edi tors that he knew.

B. Downs, University libra rian, in a recent talk, in which he gave collecting hints to stu dents interested in the Student Library Award contest. "The amateur book collector is always beset by the problem of deciding what books are of permanent worth as against those books of passing value, Downs continued. "No hard and fast rules can be laid down, but in general there are several classes of material avoided by most experienced collectors. Among these are de luxe edi- tions, theological treatises, old legal and medical treatises, sci- entific works, unless the authors are famous in the history of sci- ence, encyclopedias, collected - 1 sets of authors, editions of Greek and Latin classics, old textbooks, and old Bibles." Early Works I In further discussing the greater fields for collectors, Downs stated that "other fields of greater interest are early books -on California, Oregon, Texas, and pioneer davs in the ir f If K ..if.- '; ,.r tJj-riniTn irf.itfTifin jrnrtrrftirwtoi Literary Mag dealing with alumni activities in college athletics. A campus mys tery story, "Men's Dormitory" by Gordon Mull, "Drive" by Morton Feldman, "We Tycoons" by Stuart Rabb, and "Didn't Used to be That-A-Way" by George Stoney are other fea tures of the magazine. Under the title of "You Asked for It," the editors have printed their defense of "the many pro tests against the Magazine's un democratic method of choosing copy?"-' - Margaret Munch, art editor, and Nell Booker did the illustra tions for the issue, and Miss Booker drew the surrealistic cover.

Editions "It is nearly always advisable to procure the first or original edition of a book. This is the one most likely to become valuable. Another fundamental point is condition. Never buy one with any pages missing illustrations torn out, or a badly worn vol ume, unless something of ex treme rarity." "Still another matter of con cern to the collector is book prices," Downs continued. (Continued on last page) P. U. Board Plans To MakeRefund Staff To Vote Members of the Daily Tar Heel staff will gather this afternoon at 3 :30 p. m. in the office to make a staff selection of Student-Faculty Day campus queen. No politicin'. Regal Gallery To Open Today In YMCA Lobby Pictures of Campus Nominees For Student-Faculty Queen To Be Exibited A gallery of cabinet size pic tures of the nominees for queen of Student-Faculty Day will be opened this afternoon in the lobby of the Y. M. C. A. Beneath each picture will be posted a thumb-nail biography of the candidate. As there are necessarily many facts in the life of a coed which are not common knowledge, it is the aim of . the committee to give as enlighten ing a sketch as possible, its motto being "All the News That's Fit to Print." All voting will take place in full view of the photographs to make the voter queen conscious. Ballots will appear in the Daily Tar Heel on Friday and Satur day of this week and on Tuesday of next. Chicanery ( Due to the numerous efforts to hoodwink the committee, in the way of tissue paper ballots, fraudulent signatures and votes on such ineligible queens as Dean Bradshaw, all care will be taken to delete those ballots cast in the iinal election which are not prop erly signed. Faculty members are urged to register their choice for queen, king and jester by means of the special ballots furnished them through the inter-office mail. Di Head Upholds Recent Election As Constitutional President Elect John Kendrick To Be Inaugurated at Next Session Di Senate President George Steele, presiding over the execu tive session of the body Tuesday night, ruled, that the recent elec tion of officers should stand in spite of senatorial dispute aris ing from the charge that the election was not properly con ducted as provided for in the senate constitution. The constitution of the Di sen ate, according to dissenting sen ators, provides that, elections shall be determined by ballot and the incoming officers were voted upon by display of hands. According to announcement, President-elect John Kendrick will be inaugurated into office at the next session of the body. Dr. Newsome Dr. , A. R. Newsome, head of the history department, will go to Raleigh to speak to a meeting of the Society of Colonial Dames on "Racial Elements in the Pop ulation of North Carolina." Increased Circulation Revenues Allows Fee Reduction To Come In Spring The Publications Union board yesterday voted to refund ap proximately $1,400 to the stu dent body during the spring quarter in the form of a 50 cent reduction on each student's pub lications fee. The $2.30 fee previously charged each student quarterly will be changed to $1.80. George Allen, board president, stated that "the board has found it will not need the amount being refunded, due to an increase in circulation and advertising reve nues from the student publica tions." Professor J. M. Lear, faculty adviser to the board, announced at the meeting that earnings of the publications during the fall quarter were 25 per cent greater than during the same period of 1935. Annual Fee Yesterday's change of price was the first made .since the win ter of 1935 when students voted in favor of a 90 cents annual in crease in publications fees, which raised the annual fee to $6.90 per student. At that time the Publications union .was running a deficit, and students were urged to vote the increase in fees to guarantee the publications surplus. Allen announced that the Pub lications board has full power to restore the publications fee to $6.90 annually after, the spring quarter and without a Vote of the student body. Birthday Ball Planned Here Celebrations To Mark Presidents Day Chapel Hill will celebrate the President's birthday Saturday night with two dances under the general direction of John Fou shee.

Seventy per cent of Continued on last page Freshman Smoker In a report to the -freshman executive committee last night Stuart Ficklin, class treasurer announced that the class does not have sufficient funds to hold the smoker this month. The com mittee voted to postpone the smoker indefinitely. The short age in funds is a result of the failure of a large group of stu dents to pay their class dues. Bunk Anderson, chairman of the dance committee, told the committee that April 2 had been ,set for the freshman dance. - it' It' M t ?! .'7 I . t ! 1, i si: t i. -5 r ' : ( 3 ? 1 4 i i iif' 3 I V 1 4
