Comparing the selections of each class as a group, there is little change in taste apparent among the undergraduates. The graduate students, however, ap proaching professorhood, also begin to use the mystery novel collection for relaxation. Lewis still draws, but his popularity is waning. " Other Authors Other popular authors besides Lewis were: John Galsworthy, James Branch Cabell, and Raphael Sabatini. The absence of such names as: Margaret Mitchell, Hervey Allen and Loyd C. Douglas from the above list is surprising but explained by the fact that the library has wo few copies of their books to even approximately meet the demand for them. Requests for "Gone with the Wind" have far outnumbered those for any other novel. In Ctosing Seconds By 37-35 MmlliSj Waller High Scorers P.U.Charter Amendment Is Discussed Board. Hears Proposal Of Tar Heel Editor; Takes No Action The Publications Union board adjourned yesterday before de ciding whether to propose an amendment to the P. U. consti tution authorizing staff elections of editors, as proposed by repre sentatives of the Daily Tar Heel. Board President George Allen called another meeting for to day at noon to continue discus sion of the amendment proposal of Don McKee and Red Sarratt, editor and managing editor of the newspaper. Majority Allen stated that an amend ment of the section which pro vides for the election of editors by the subscribers must be pro posed either by the P. U. board or by a majority of those pre sent and voting at a meeting of the union for such an amend ment, which must be called by the president of the board. tie added tnat snouid an amendment be proposed, a stu dent vote on it would not be called for before next quarter. Ruling Students favoring staff elec tions called for yesterday's ses sion of the P. U. board as a re sult of the ruling of the studen council Wednesday outlawing staff elections. Last week staffs of the Yackety-Yack and the Daily Tar Heel voted in favor of .electing their editors rather than nominating them for a campus vote. Smith To Lecture "" Professor Russell T. Smith, head of the art department, will give a gallery talk at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon on the ex hibits now on view in Person hall.

Rogerson Away L. B. Rogerson, assistant con troller of the University, was out of town yesterday, but A. H. Shepard, Jr. stated that the spring quarter bills had been printed since last September, and that he was not sure how the business office had intended to change the amount of the publi cations fee. Mr. Shepard said that he would communicate with Mr. Rogerson last night or this morning for. a decision on the matter. sarily delayed until March 15 will be required to take which ever of the courses are left, un less they postpone English 23 until next fall or spring. The two sections of Mr. H. K. Russell were the first to be clos ed out. They were taken the first day. Both are the same, and will contain discussions of novels by Thackery, Butler, Maugham, Joyce, and Wolfe. Adams Another course that went fast was Rr.

Wake Forest, playing in the semi-finals for the first time, quickly showed why they had been rated an even chance to beat the Phantoms, taking an early five point lead in the first half and resisting stubbornly all attempts on the part of the white-shirted five from Caro lina. The Tar Heels crept up slow ly but relentlessly and by half time had forged into a 23-19 ler.
