516 ENROLL FOR
WMERQUARTER
Registration Rules
Again Stressed
With 516L students enrolling for"the
winter quarter, registration "got
underway yesterday. From 9 a. m.
until 5 p. m., interrupted only by an
hour's interval -at noon, a steady
stream of undergraduates filed into
Memorial hall.
I. C. Griffin, of the Central Records
office, stressed that all students abide
by the regulations published last Sun
day. The three major steps are:
1. All students must come to the
Central Records office before start
ing any registration to secure per
mits to register. No one will be al
lowed to register unless he has a
clean record with the University.,
2. Then every student is to go to
his or her dean's office, except Arts
and Science and Graduate students.
All Arts and Science and Gradu
ate students must see their major
advisors, before reporting to their
respective deans.
3. Everyone must then check
out, turning in all forms and re
ceiving bills in the upper lobby of
Memorial hall. "
The registration officials wish to
request that all students cooperate
with them in the process. Several
problems arose during the course of
the first day, resulting in misunder
standings between officials and under
graduates. It was pointed out by those
in charge of the enrollment, that in
tke case of restricted sections, in

NEGROES HELD IN
DURHAM JAIL FOR
INVESTIGATION
County And Local
Officers Catch Men
Near Chapel Hill
Two Chapel Hill Negroes, Frank
Blacknell, 23, and his brother, Eddie,
32, were held as suspects in a crimin
al assault case in Durham city jail
last night after-they were rushed
there by Sheriff S. T. Latia, Jr., early
yesterday morning.
Sheriff Latta said they are being
held "for safekeeping and investiga
tion" pending further developments.
The Blacknell brothers were arrested
by the sheriff with county and local
officers at a filling station at the
western city limits.
Today the 15-year old schoolgirl re
turned to her home north of the vil
lage after spending the past two days
at the house of a friend.
She claimed she was assaulted twice
at the point of a gun by a dark Negro
as she was returning home near Steel
bridge, about a mile north of Chapel
Hill, Tuesday afternoon.
Daily Tar Heel reporters and news
photographers were refused inter
views with the Negroes at the Dur
ham jail tonight.

BOOK EXCHANGE
GIVES REPORT ON
PROFIT, POLICY
Business Clears
$9,000 During 11
Month Period
In a report on the status of the
Book Exchange released yesterday,
the administration revealed that the
operating profit for an 11-month
period totaled $9,000. Also included
in the statement were, reasons enum
erating the purpose of the enterprise,
the financial policy, and the handi
caps encountered in conducting the
business affairs.
One of the main purposes for the
establishing of the store was "to fur
nish the student body with textbooks
and school supplies at prices as low
as returns from the business as a
whole will permit.
"To purchase for the University
such items as office supplies and
equipment at dealer's discount plus an
adequate handling expense allow
ance," and "to furnish such non-
necessities as tobaccos and soft drinks
at standard retail prices to all cus
tomers as a convenience and to help
defray the cost of doing business,"
were the other two purposes for main-1
taining the Book Exchange.
FINANCIAL POLICY
The explanation of the financial
policy was subdivided into three divi
sions. Although the University is in
charge of the enterprise, it was
pointed out that every attempt is
made "to operate within the resources
created by sales. The Book Exchange
is entirely self-supporting and no
subsidies of any sort are available
for its operation." ,
The profit received is spent for
such costs as expenditures for pur
chases of merchandise for resale; ex
penditures for direct operating ex
penses such as store expenses, sal
aries and wages of clerks and man
ager; transfer to.-the University
budget for expenses incurred for its
account by the business office, name
ly, administrative and executive su
pervision, credits and collections, ac
counting, and purchasing and person
nel. The report goes on to state : . .
to prevent deficits and excess receipts
and to assure efficient management,
the general administration fixes the
percentage of mark up (merchandise
price to sales price), and also fixes
the amount of receipts transferable
to the University.
"Control of the operations of the
Book Exchange is effected through
the service plants budget, constant
supervision, and the use of standard
procedures automatically clearing
through the channels and divisions of
the business organization. Its cash
receipts are deposited daily with the
State Treasurer. The expenditure of

U. S. Students
For Liberalism
Part Of Nationwide Poll
Conducted In Class Here
In a poll of the youth of the na
tion conducted by the American Ob
server on subjects of vital national
and international concern, a trend
towards liberalism was shown. The
questions dealt with social and po
litical problems confronting the
young men and women of today.
The studeilts voted against oppos
ing a president running for a third
term if they favored him on other
grounds. The totals were 56 per cent
no, 41 yes, and three undecided. When
asked if they approved of the Civil
ian Conservation Corps an over
whelming majority answered to the
affirmative. The count in this case
was 83 per cent in favor, five per
cent against, and 12 undecided.
The American youth also endorsed
the right to organize into unions.
Among the other liberal measures
favored by the students was health in
surance and rearmament. The young
men and women of the nation divided
their opinion in regard to the war
question. They voted that the United
States should definitely not go to war
over maintaining the "open door"
policy in China. But they approved
of engaging in armed conflict over
the preserving of democracy in the
Latin-American states against the
threats of fascism and communism.
The poll was held in the University
in connection with the course in Eco
nomics 35.
PU Board
Body Oii Bnc-Mag Combination
Editors Glasli
The following statements were issued yesterday by Cari Pugk, Caro
lina Buccaneer editor, and John Creedy, Carolina Magazine editor, in
respect to the proposed combination, of the two publications.
"I'm For It" Pugh
A combination of the Buccaneer and the Magazine, viewed as a join
ing of the present elements of each into a single publication, would be
preposterous. Two publications of such obviously conflicting policy could
not effectively meet on a common ground and be presented on a single
plane. The two publications in the past have been on extremes of opposing
theme and editorial content. A combination of these, as is; silly.
The University spends large sums each year, sums running into five
figures, on its publications. This should naturally be used with a maxi
mum of results. The criteria of results seems to be student patronage;
patronage of attention and contribution. In the former both publications
have failed. In the latter the Magazine, which until the present year has
not been worth the cheap paper used, has failed. The Buccaneer has been
successful in the latter aim but the means have confused the end.
INTEGRAL PART
Its publications are an integral part of a great university. The part
of collegiate publications should be a ground for student work; those stu
dents interested in the line as a med student, in his curricula. The
Tar Heel, has achieved this end with some success; the Magazine has.
(Continued on page two)
"Destroy Spirit" Creedy
You are either sophisticated or you are not sophisticated. There are
some nasty and appropriate names that can be applied to people who try to
be sophisticated and faiL This campus, we thank our stars, is not pre
dominantly sophisticated. It would therefore be a ridiculous suggestion
to attempt to establish a publication, destroying entirely both present
publications, on the sophisticated level of the New Torker or Esquire.
Obviously enough, merely effecting a merger between the two publi
cations, would only result in a hopeless hodge-podge of the present Caro
lina Magazine and Carolina Buccaneer. The physical combination would
not change the personnel or the contributing group. It might on the
other hand seriously damage it.
UPWARD SWING
For the past three or four years the Carolina Magazine has shown
a continuous upward swing in format and content. Each editor has con
tributed something to the Magazine of permanent student-recognized
value. Jim Daniel did away with - the monotonous line covers and intro -duced
the present copper half-tones. Daniel and Hudson between them
introduced the present page , layout position of author's name, title,

Green Gives Course
In Dramatic Art
Paul Green, who has been giving
a graduate course in playwriting dur
ing the fall quarter, will givea new
course in the department of dramatic
art during the winter quarter to be
known as "Philosophical Ideas in
Dramatic Literature," (Dramatic Art
204), Dr. Frederick H. Koch, head of
the department of dramatic art, an
nounced today.
The course will be for graduate
students and will require some back
ground in dramatic literature. It will
deal with certain of the great dramas
of the world from the point of view
of the philosophy of the times which
brought them into being.
The new course is also listed in the
department of comparative literature.
The course carries five hours credit
and will meet at 3 o'clock on Tuesday
and Thursday in the library.
Polls To Be Taken
In Frats And Dorms
Today, Tomorrow
Student opinion, to be surveyed to
day and tomorrow in the form of
questionnaires, will determine the
Publications Union board's action in
issuing a trial edition of a new cam
pus magazine which would be formed
by a combination of the Carolina
Magazine and Buccaneer.
As proposed to the PU board in
Wednesday's session, the combination
magazine would follow the style of
more sophisticated literary - humor
publications of other colleges and
would be in the vein of the New
Yorker and Esquire- The new maga
zine would be much larger in size,
containing some 40 or 50 pages each
month.
All dormitory and fraternity resi
dents will receive the campus ques
tionnaires today and tomorrow. Other
students who are not contacted may
secure the survey sheets at the Daily
Tab Heel office this week-end. These
blanks will be collected by the Pub
lication Union board Sunday.
Members of the Interdormitory
council are scheduled td meet in Gra
ham memorial at 6:45 tonight and at
that time will receive questionnaires
to be distributed to each floor coun
cilman. PU STATEMENT
In explaining the stand of the PU
board, President Tom Elliot yester
day issued the following statement:
"In considering a combination of
the Carolina Magazine with the Buc
caneer, the Publications Union board
is not assuming authority of making
so important a change. Instead, we
are acting as an agent for conveying
the suggestion to the student body for
its approval.
- ".We do feeLvhoweyer, after an im
partial discussion of J the' plan; that
it may be productive of great im
provement in the status of. the pres
ent publications, and is worthy of se
rious consideration by the body of fee
paying students that comprise the
Publications union.
"We believe, that a 50-page com
bination could unite the two publica
tions into an organ that would come
nearer to meeting student tastes, that
would be more universally enjoyed,
and would render greater service than
either of the present publications. In
short, it is thought that a combina
tion would give greater return for the
investment than is now realized.
OPPOSITE EXTREMES
"The board believes that the Caro
lina Magazine and the Buccaneer have
tended to follow opposite extremes,
and in so doing have failed to pro
vide a medium of publication for a
great amount of student writing lying
between these extremes. Combination,
we believe, in eliminating these ex
tremes, would give a greater number
of student authors an opportunity to
find publication of their work.
"To the end that the advisability of
this plan may be tested, we suggest
that a combination might be made for
one or two issues.
"We ask, therefore, that each stu

BlinkingColored Lights Hang
On Dorm's Decorated
Christmas Tree
By ARTHUR DIXON
Old West and the town of Chapel
Hill had the same idea at the same
time. The Christmas spirit sent the
city hurrying about hanging up its
traditional garlands along main
street, but said spirit socked Old
West residents square on their sev
eral chins and brought a brain child
a Christmas tree.
The only thing traditional about
the decorations on Old West's tree is
the string of colored lights which
blink on at night. The other thinga
mabobs hanging on it are decidedly
Old Westish and therefore unusual.
