Committee AppoimtedTo Probe
Sophomore Yearbook Pictures
Bradshaw Suggests
Possible Solutions
To Fee Problem
Jimmy Davis announced yesterday
that a committee of five will be ap
pointed to investigate the possibility
of individual pictures for sophomores
in the 1940 Yackety Yack.
The committee will probably con
sist of the president of the student
body, the president of the sophomore
class, the president of the PU board,
the editor of the Yackety Yack, and
another member to be named later.
The group will make a report to the
Dean of students, not later than Octo
ber 25.
DEAN'S STATEMENT
In a written statement issued to
the editor of the Daily Tar Heel, the
dean offered two suggestions for the
solution of the problem. He stated,
"either the class organize for collec
tion of the fee through its own ef
forts or bring the entire matter up for
consideration in light of other fees and
costs now involved in Yackety Yack
publication, and other items in the
class budget." The latter suggestion
is expected to involve an investiga
tion of student fees and PU board al
lotments to the Yackety Yack.
Dean Bradshaw traced the history
of the University's assistance in col
lecting student fees, showing how fees
have increased in number and amount.
The fees continued to mount until
" a note of definite warning was
sounded in a trustees' meeting and ac
tion -was nearly taken which might
stop the University from collecting
any student activity fees." -.The ad
' " ministration thusdid not deem: it wise
to "stimulate such Trustee action by
proposing a further increase in Uni
versity collection."
In connection with an article printed
ia yesterday's ' Daily Tar Heel, the
dean stated, "No statement was made
here that the University would, un
der no circumstances, collect sopho
more fees for individual pictures in the
Yackety Yack. I can conceive of
many circumstances in which we would
be glad to recommend to Dean House
and the business office a collection of
such fees."
Absent from Dean Bradshaw's
statement was mention of rumors con
cerning the validity of the passage of
the bill providing the individual pho
tos, at a meeting of the sophomore
class held last May. At yesterday's
meeting,, however, the dean dismissed
ny official question as to the legiti
macy of the vote, since both the presi
dent of the student body and the presi
dent of the sophomore class recog
nized the passage as valid.

the woods at a point some 50 feet far

Wild guesses followed as to what or
whom the strange figure might be
"It's a member of the Klu Klux Klan,"
said one. "It's the ghost of hamlet's
father," said another. "It's-somebody
being initiated into Gimghoul," said a
third.
Some of the braver coeds decided to
follow the "ghost" into the woods, but
fallen limbs and lack of lights hamp-
ered their progress. Just then the
amateur sleuths were called to the
road by the rest of the group. The
hooded figure had reappeared and
stood in full view in the car headlights.

To Begin CPU's Fourth Year
War And Special Session
Upsets PoHticali Union's
Plans For Coming Year
With the announcement of Lieuten
ant-Governor W. P. Horton's forth
coming address, the Carolina Politi
cal union began its fourth year of
presenting speakers of all political
creeds to the campus. The union, a
non-partial organization, climaxed
its last year's set of speakers when
President Roosevelt spoke here last
December.
Chairman Harry Gatton has already
contacted several prospective politi
cal figures to appear at the University
during the course of the year, although
definite dates have not been set. When
questioned yesterday on the effect of
the war on the CPU's plans, he made
the following statement: "The crisis
and the special session of Congress
have upset CPU plans considerably.
The union had hoped to present "out
standing presidential candidates in
both parties, but interest is now fo
cussed on international questions
rather than the American scene. But
we will endeavor to present the leading
speakers on questions as they arise,
whether national or international." .

Library Obtains
Station Wagon
During Summer
. Latest addition to the equipment of
the University library is a station
wagon purchased during the summer
and to be used to carry books back

and as a way of transportation for
those professors who are to teach at
the newly instituted law school of the
North Carolina college for Negroes at
Durham this year.
The inter-library loans have until
now been in charge of students, but
a permanent provision is being made
for them, and the station wagon will
be used in exchanging the books. The
Negro college will cooperate with Car
olina and Duke university in this and
will receive the same service that they
do.
