CARO&RAPHICShv Hurray For This Issue News: Gordon Burns Sports: Laffitte Howard TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS AND AN EMPTY PAIR OF SHOES Robert Bingham Downs, for six years chief li brarian at the University, has resigned his posi tion at the University. After July 1 he will become "Director of Li braries" at New York University. Mr. Downs said that it "is with the deepest sort of regret" that he will leave Chapel Hill, but the opportunities for professional advancement and the increased salary were too much to resist. New York University will pay him a yearly in come of $10,000.00, with a liberal retiring allow ance, to manage a new and elaborate library to be constructed soon. ' The dangling of a fat check in the face of For mer President Harry Chase more than six years ago lured him, also, to the New York University campus. It is not fair to say that an increase in salary was the only charm that the northern Uni versity had to offer, but certainly it has played an important role in the decision of both men. It was not many years ago that Thorndike Se ville, member of our faculty, left Chapel Hill to become dean of the Engineering school at New York University. Mr. Louis Graves, writing in his Chapel Hil weekly, says "And so N. Y. U. raids our Univer sity of North Carolina faculty. The only thing we can do to get revenge is to send our football team up there to beat 'em year after next." Mr. Downs' success at the University is un questionable. ' The very fact that our University budget is not large enough to hold him is an at testation of his ability. But more than this, his record on our campus and his reputation among those who know him are even clearer evidence. Mr. Downs' leaving reminds us that we are not a wealthy University financially. But more important, it reminds us that within the limits of a relatively small budget, a budget that includes few endowments, the University of North Carolina has developed an institution whose quality can in no way be measured by its income. , DO YOU IHI017 YOUR STATE? i hi i P15YflUI0lStrriAT KUQQXHAYBWWmi- mwtmr$Riximt vawspoon&nmim A.

J RUSHING OUT OF SEASON Downs Resigns Library Post Here The Carolina Political Uunion selected four new members yes terday. They were , freshmen who had filed their application early in the fall. Out of thirty-five applicants, four were chosen - to raise the membership to the maximum set by the Union's constitution. The process of weeding out was an oraeal tor Dotn union members and the applicants. Some few were eliminated when they sent letters of qualification. Others survived to interview the committee of four appointed by Chairman Heard. The remaind- m er, who withstood the judgment of the committee, interviewed the Union as a whole yesterday afternoon. Qualifications for membership included political connections in the state, experience in the poli tical field, willingness and com petence in the work required, and individual merit. Members agreed that the men selected would be assets to the organization, but also regretted that it was constitutionally ne cessary to eliminate a number of applicants who were com pletely competent. CPU Names Four New Members EXECUTIVE CO-OPERATION Bob Magill got together two teachers and fif teen disciples at a luncheon yesterday and asked: can the-present leaders in student government pass on their crude techniques of leadership to freshmen and sophomore leaders-to-be? A fine thought, everyone agreed. It most al ways happens that not until he's elected and par tially through with his job that a student catches if catch it he can the science of leadership. So, can't the group that's now in the saddle have some time-outs this quarter and next to help their uninformed, perhaps disinterested, succes sors grasp the techniques? - Then Dean Bradshaw, who was one of the teachers, cheered the, luncheon group's mood by citing an authority on leadership training. Yes it can be done, the authority, writes. He urges training leadership with such devices as practical nsvcholosrv and the encouragement of student A 7 self -development. The group will meet again, but not with such a preponderance of seniors. There will be sopho mores and juniors leaders-to-be. By well-guided instruction thev should absorb techniques of leadership before the awesome day of inaugura tion, after which there is no cure but hard knocks, trial-and-error, and belated immitation of predecessors. (Continued from first page) tions at that time will not be limited to freshmen. Treasurer The union also elected Town send Moore as its new treasurer. Moore, who replaces Allen Mer rill as treasurer, formerly head ed the publicity committee, which is one of the CPU's most importan non-elective posts. Roy Clark has been added to the poster machine staff to as sist Harry Gatton and Willis Sutton. Heard also announced that Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr., who has been asked to speak here, recently wrote him, saying that he could come on February 11 or 12. At that time he ad dresses a Lincoln Birthday gath ering in Greensboro. Because of the overcrowded program, though, Heard said that the union would be forced to turn him down. Fish is the congress man from President Roosevelt's home district in New York. (Continued from first page) . also the birthplace of Dr. L. R. Wilson, librarian of the Univer sity from 1901 to 1932. He grew up in Asheville and came to the University as a student in 1922. He was graduated with the class of 1926, receiving his A.B. de gree at that time. Downs start ed his library work as a student assistant while he was an un dergraduate here. Following his graduation he went to the Columbia University School of Library service where he receiv ed his BB and MS degrees. In 1929 he went to Colby col lege at Waterville, Maine, as li brarian, and remained in that position until 1931 when he re turned to North. Carolina as As sistant Librarian and Associate Professor of Library science in the School of Library science. During the six years that he has been here, more than 100,- 000 volumes have been added to the library. In addition he has been instrumental in bringing about closer relationships with the Duke university library. He is chairman of the Ameri can Library association commit tee on Resources of Southern li braries, and has contributed to a number of biographical and library journals. He has just completed an extensive survey of resources for research in sou thern libraries, a study which will be published this spring by the American Library association.

Going Crazy: One Editor D. K. E. House To those who suggest his "Buc caneer" is getting dirty, Hayden Clement reminds "Honi soit qui y mal pense." "Shame be on him who thinks evil of it !" (This I learn, as a naive non-French student, is the slogan of the famous Royal Order of the Garter, founded on the chivalrous precedent set by an English king who saved the day for a noble woman by this expression when her garter fell at a royal ball. The Order, a scholar named Char les Adrian Spies informs me, has in its charter. appropriately enough a famous elastic clause.) But forgetting the garter, Hayden really hasn't heard any of the rumored undercurrent of pious objection to his monthly comic. Instead he is busy going crazy. When he was politicking as an independent against Lawrence Hinkle last spring, with such clever propaganda as saying he would have a 'Sice editor," Hayden didn't dream he would get stopped between every class, get letters on every mail, receive calls all night long by crazy people who had just thought of a new gag for the next issue. Handwriting On The Wall? In fact about the only people who don't pester Hayden now are those who perceive about him a crust of "dirt," accumulated from the fall and winter quarter "Bucs." Those, e. g., who didn't sanction the page of legs printed last week, col lected around the campus by two staff camera men. Such silent objectors would really fidget were they at Northwestern! Up at Evanston there's a current howl about the campus comic's running pictures of coeds in soapsuds baths. It's been four years since the "Buc" was on the moral spot: so shocked was the Student Coun cil by Pat Gaskin's last issue that it ordered sus pension of publication, until student petition won a resumption of printed humor in the form of the one-year-career "Finjan." The "Buc" editor usually tries with honesty to satisfy campus taste his danger, is misgaging that taste. Hayden Clement is basically a good fellow. He has a girl of his own . . . likes good jokes and good times . . . and takes suggestions with a smile. He says he's not going to re-run for editorship this spring even though now he's just a junior. Hayden wants to do right by his constituency, but jit 7 it an seems to him like a case of diminishing re turns. Besides, he says it's driving him crazy. BIRTHDAYS TODAY (Please call by the ticket office of the Carolina theater for a com plimentary pass.) Langdon Dowd Caddell Edward Breeden Clark Coleman Finkel Elizabeth Morrison Malone Robert Milton Peters Frances Leda Stevens Oscar Leak Tyree (Continued from first page) in former years. Part of the money raised in each community remains there, and the rest is given to a national fund to sup port research, epidemic control, and orthopedic centers. Dances Smith declared that there will be two separate dances, one to be held at the Carolina inn, and the other at the American Le gion hut. Because space is not available at the inn, the square dance will be' at the American Legion hut. This dance will be gin at 8 o'clock in order that those people who want to par ticipate in both parties may go there and later attend the affair at the Carolina; inn, where the dancing begins at 9 o'clock. Sponsors - Among the sponsors for these parties three University coeds were choices. They are listed below with their escorts: Miss Dorothy Bass and John Lyman, Miss Eloise Broughton and Gordon Burns, Miss Nancy Nesbit and Lunceford Long. Tickets for both of these af fairs are on sale at the Bank of Chapel Hill, Eubanks' drug store, and the N Consolidated Service Plane office. POP QUIZ By Bob Perkins WWWWU UN III Jf. A ; My Day OR Life On A Raft By Charley Gilmore One tumbler is half-full of wine, another is half -full of water; from the first tumbler a teaspoon of wine is taken out and poured into the tumbler containing the water; a tea spoonful of the mixture in the second tumbler is then trans ferred to the first tumbler. As a result of this double transaction, is the quantity of wine removed from the first tumbler greater or less than the quantity of water removed from the second tumbler? Answer to yesterday's quiz: Let x equal the difference in. December (this is the only month possible), and 28 from 31 would leave 3 in January. So x minus three would equal 14, the difference between living twice through this month and the next nearest month. Therefore x is equal to 17, and Roy's son would be born on Decern Der is. inis wouia make him a year and 41 days old unless I miscounted some place. A solid bar of lithium, the lightest metal, will float on water. A physics professor and a graduate student here have disproved a new electronic theory. Is nothing sacred? If things like this continue, science won't have anything left except a labora tory full of refutations. The ex-theory had something to do with Beta particles. Pretty soon we'll hear of a scientist splitting the Duke atom. The Interfraternitv Council already is investicatiW moHor- afrirf of "dirtv rushing " mw J - Probably An Opera We physicists used to think extra atomic energy was carried away by a particle called the neutrino. I was of the impression that Neutrino Played right tackle for Fordham. But then that just shows you how little I know about football. ine local investigators probed the matter by looking at photographs of atomic collisions. It proves one thmg. The highways are not the only places that are unsafe. ! The 8:30 Class Pictures of a couple atoms colliding ought to be a good show. They say, Cecil B. deMille is plan ning a super-stupendous extravaganza based around a collision between a Beta particle and a Pi Phi. The physics department says you can find out the weight of a baseball by letting it strike a bil liard ball of known weight. That's the way they find out atomic weights. Sort of mixing pleasure with business. The man who took the atomic pictures "was practically playing billiards with electrons." That's what happens to little boys who hang around pool rooms. They grow up to be scientists. When a northern physicist came out with his new electronic theory, the one that just blew up, he said that some electrons had different weights. Isn t that just like a yankee?
