C FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1937 ECSIXES3 FBOKZ 4H6 NUMBER 25 4Rm TrD ill v-s World News By Nelson Large HULES COMMITTEE ; MAY MEET. IN ADVANCE Washington, Oct. 14. Chair jnan O'Connor, of the house :rules committee, said today that jhe may call all of the commit iteemen to discuss terms for re leasing their hold on the wage hour bill before the special ses sion of congress in November. Failure of congress to enact this bill last session was one of the reasons why President Uoosevelt called the extra meet- When the measure was first "brought up, it was passed by the senate and the house labor committee. The house rules com mittee was able to hold the bill i j -r- i 1 up, nowever, aiier itepuDiicans teamed up in the opposition -with southern Democrats. O'Connor indicated that it would be impossible to hold , the legislation any , longer because, if necessary, the house will Ibring it, to vote by a. petition. It is required that two hundred eighteen members sign the pe tition. The wage-hour bill would provide for a labor standards board with the power to fix :minimum wages up to 40 cents an' hour and a maximum work week of not less than '40 hours in industries engaged in inter state commerce. : - Due to the lower living costs in the south, opposition from the southern committeemen has .Tbee'ff "centered largely 'on" the Hvage feature of the measure.

Each student who has paid his publi cation fee is a member of the Publications union. The union actually owns all four Univer sity publications, is the actual heir to a surplus valued last June at $18,831. The P. U. board feels that its problems are the problems of every student. Here is our prob lem: During the terms 1933-34 and 1934-25, our four student publications lost a total of $4,285. Because another loss seemed impending in the fall of 1935, the board felt that its credit was endangered. Without ample credit the board cannot get the best terms on contracts for big printing jobs, such as the one for the Yackety-Yack. There were three alterna tives: (1) To continue to lose money and endanger the credit of the board. (2) To curtail by making the Magazine back into a supple ment of the Daily Tar Heel; or making the Yackety-Yack smaller; or largely eliminating pictures from all the publica tions. ( (3) To increase the student publications fee, then $6.00 a year. . - ; Because the members felt that the standards of the publi CO-EDS GRANTED LOUNGING ROOM To Be Ready For JJse In Near Future The much-needed and long- hoped-for social room on the fourth floor of Spencer hall will j soon be ready for use, according to Miss Polly Pollock, president of the Y.

Miss Roush is a graduate of Hillsdale college and is in the school of library science. She is also serving as social, chairman of the Graduate Woman's club this season. Miss Virginia Douglas, of Greensboro, at present in the University law school, was elect ed secretary-treasurer. The dor mitory social chairman will be Miss Vivian Veach, of Rock ford. Illinois, who is in the school of dramatic art. ' cations should be held at cur rent levels, the P. U. board pro posed an increase of 90 cents a year in the publications fee. In a letter to the students, the board,, two falls ago, said: "There is every reason to be lieve that we are confronted with a more or less permanent situation for the next few years' : . The student body voted the increase on itself, 229-116. Now the ; four publications are out of the red. Last year they made $2,271. The Publications Union board can do one of two things : ( 1 ) It can turn over the in crease in profits to the publica tions. The editors and managing editors say the quality of their enterprises can be raised by so doing. (2) It can reduce the publica tions fee from $6.90 back to $6. ' The board is submitting this matter to the students because the students did not vote that 90 cents increase back in '35 to im prove the publications. They voted it to maintain the quality of the publications at the cur rent level of those publications. That is why the board wants to know the opinion of the campus before it takes any action. It is the responsibility of the mem bers of the student union to make their opinion articulate either through letters or through personal contact with the mem bers of the board.
