Would Supplement Daily Tar Heel While students showed much inter est in the survey being taken yester day and continuing today to determine the Publications Union board's ac tion in issuing a trial edition of a new campus, magazine which would be formed by a combination of the Caro lina Magazine and Buccaneer, L.,E. Hpenig, foreman of the Daily Tar Heel composing room, issued an en tirely new proposal. Hoenig, known as "Shorty", and sometimes classified as dictator by the paper's night staff, suggests both campus magazines be abolished as far. as their present form is concerned. He proposes that the PU board should concentrate its interests and funds up on, one publication, that being the Daily Tar Heel, which could there by become one of the largest and most complete college dailies. USE SUPPLEMENTS The new paper, Hoenig suggests, would have section editors for each ype of copy. In the Sunday morning editions, a Carolina Magazine and a Buccaneer supplement would be pub lished with each carrying on its tra ditional line of material. By employ ing the weekly supplement method, he declares the student body would re ceive the same amount of material over a one-month period and that the students would receive the copy in smaller portions so that it would be more thoroughly read and digested. The present proposal, as made to the PU board in Wednesday's session, calls for a merger of the two cam pus magazines, forming a publication which would follow the style of more sophisticated literary-humor publica tions of other colleges and would be in the vein of the New Yorker and Esquire. The new magazine would be much larger in size, containing some 40 or 50 pages each month. Student opinion on the issuance of a trial edition of the combination magazine is being surveyed in the form of questionnaires, now distribu ted in all dormitories, fraternities and the Daily Tar Heel offices. Riot Not Due To Blondes, Just Students Mobbing Library Main Desk To Pay Back Fines Librarians Showered With Age-Worn Excuses As Tardy Ones Gasp At Size Of Bills By SANFORD STEIN If you should happen to see an un usual amount of x activity about the main circulation desk of the library, do not be alarmed. It isn't a lynching or a riot, the coeds haven't suddenly become intellectual, and there are no beautiful blondes working in the stacks. The commotion is merely stu dents paying their book fines so they can get permission to register next quarter. Overdue books are an established campus institution the library col lects about $2,000 a year in fines but most people fail to act very cheer NATHAN BLAMES -BRITAIN FOR RISE OF DICTATORSHIPS NYU Professor Says U. S. Must Expound Roosevelt's Principles The rise of dictatorships and strife in. Europe was traced last night to Great Britain's hatred of communism by Dr. Otto Nathan, New York" uni versity professor, speaking on the pro gram of the Hillel Foundation. "Great Britain does not like fas cism," stated DrNathan, "but she is obsessed with such a fear of commun ism that she is willing to tolerate the former in order to ward off the lat ter." Formerly connected with the Ger man statistical office under the Ger-I man republic, Dr. Nathan is a noted lecturer and has spoken at many uni versities and colleges in this country. At present he is a professor of eco nomics at New York university. This was his second visit to the University campus, having spoken iiere at the last Institute of Human Relations. The Munich pact, said Dr. Nathan, afforded fascism one of . its greatest triumphs, and it means that the influ ence of fascism will be felt through out the world. The situation in Eu rope is now virtually hopeless; there is no hope for improvement in the near future, not one ray of hope in Europe for democracy, or decency. We in this country cannot rely upon the few liberalists who v may help in the stand against fascism, but must look for a surer protection . . . . namely, a strong, powerful, courageous, united labor movement?: This is one great re maining possibility. ' t; 'iv In 1934 Great Britain stood ready to aid Germany because she feared that Germany's probable downfall due to her unstable conditionx would result in communism, and that once this had started in ( Europe it would become uncontrollable. Now, said Dr. Nathan, fascism has reached such a formidable stage that the combined forces of Great Britain and France could not wage a successful war against the fascist nations should the need arise. The outcome of the Munich pact will psychologically spread the influence of fascism to the United , States and other parts of the world, Dr. Nathan concluded. For protection'against this influence the Ignited States'' must further expound the ideals of democ racy and the principles which Presi dent Roosevelt stood for last week in his address to the campus. A short open forum was held after Dr. Nathan's talk and several ques tions submitted to him by the large audience were answered. Last Day To Buy. Seals In Dorms Today is the last day to buy Christ mas seals in the dorm stores, and the sale up to now has been pathetic, Jack Vincent, who is in charge sof the sale, said last night.

They are usually in a grumbling humor anyway .because of .the enforced de lay in their registering, and when they find out how much they owe, they immediately exclaimed" in a sur prised, injured tone, "But there MUST be some mistake! I don't remember taking that book out at all. Are you SURE you figured it out right?" EXCUSES, EXCUSES During the year, the boys who work in the library are presented with a variety of excuses for not returning books on time, some of the better ones being "I didn't know it was reserved," "I left it in a car," and "I lent it to my prof." Immediately after rushing week, many fraternity boys, acting (Continued on last page) Five Cases Up Before Council It was announced after a meet ing of the Student council Thurs day night that there were five cases up for discussion and that of the five, three were not for publication. One of the other two was con cerned with a case of bad checks but the student was found not guilty and was exonerated. The other case was a violation of the Honor code by a freshman.

TIME MAGAZINE HONORS MORE Picture, Story Praises Chairman Front page recognition in this week's Time magazine lifts Carolina Political Union chairman Voit Gil- more again into national affairs. "He landed the orator of the age" captions Gilmore's picture in the Presidency section of the newsmagazine. Time tells the story of the "lime light performance" of the "brash, lanky senior" from his work last sum mer, his trip to Washington in Octo ber "following a barrage of telegrams and letters' to the way he "made life miserable for White House Secretary Marvin Mclntyre until three weeks later, having industriously backed Mr. Roosevelt into a corner, he received word from Mclntyre that the 'Presi dent would come." Persistence landed his orator, but the CPU chairman, then in need of $350 expense money, told his mother, whom he calls "Bimble," that he "felt as though he had 'landed a whale on a trout hook'." Gilmore's story ends when, his plans complete, "rode over from Chapel Hill to the railroad station at Sanford, N. C, with Governor Hoey to 'receive the President of the United States." - PRAISES OTHERS The magazine pays tribute to Dr. Frank Porter Graham, Senators Jo siah Bailey and Bob Reynolds, Rep resentatives Bob Doughton and offi cials of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., who helped the CPU bring the "foremost U. S. political orator" to Chapei Hill. The news article describes Roosevelt in his speech as "he envoked the shade of Theodore Roosevelt as a fighting 'liberal,' exhorted U. S. youth to 'go places' for Democracy." Time fails to tell that Voit Gilmore, as a special guest of Mr. Roosevelt, traveled from Durham to Washington on the Presidential train. There he talked with the President and received his praise of the University audience and his reception at Chapel Hill. u- nawkes, basses. president, will presiae.
