"Go out of your way every day," he .said, "to help someone ;" and he point ed out that the personal application of this rule leads to the development of group personality. Souders used Lloyd C.

George Cole, president of the Duke organization and a representative of the Duke men and women relations group, followed Souders as speaker. He took as the title of his talk, "Tin Helmets and Wooden Crosses," and stated that both are symbols of the preservation of something and are demanding of those who take them up.

Books Of University Press Could Fill ' Organization Is 17 Years Old And Has Printed A Total Of 285 Volumes By WALTER SPEARMAN A "coming out party" would be ap propriate for the University of North Carolina Press this fall. She is 17 years old, she has. a new dress to wear, she has literally filled a 30-foot shelf with her publishing achievements, and she is full of bright ideas about future plans! The new dress is the remodelled By num gymnasium building, where the Press is most satisfactorily situated in a suite of ten rooms after sloughing off the outgrown basement of Alumni building. New outlook toward the future is noted in the fact that rounding out a total of 285 volumes, the Press this year for the first time includes a novel, a volume of drama and a Federal Writers Project book. The novel is "Purslane," a North Carolina story by Bernice Kelly Har ris of Seaboard. The drama is "Mexi can Folk Plays" by Josephina Niggli of Monterey, Mexico. The Writers Project volume is "These Are Our Lives," a new kind of book which the people of the South tenant farmers, negro laborers, mill workers, house servants speak for themselves and in so speaking create a vital and sig nificant literature. What is this 17-year-old University Press? Founded in 1922 "to publish periodicals or catalogues pertaining to the University" and by publishing deserving works "to promote the arts and sciences and the development of ADMINISTRATION HAS NEW METHOD TO COLLECT BILLS Process Begins , Today, Continues Through Sept 28 A newly-inaugurated system of pay ing University bills at the cashier's office for the Fall quarter begins this morning, it was announced by the ad ministration yesterday. -Instead of waiting in line to pay bills on regis tration day, as formerly, students are asked to receive their bills and make payments on certain days according to alphabetical listing.
