on Durham's popular bumming cor

Jackson of the extension division of
the University.
Yesterday morning Shumate was
again commuting to Chapel Hill at
precisely the same time and caught
rides with precisely the same two per
sons at precisely the same corners.

PU Board Cuts 60 Cents
Vrom Publication Fee
Reduction Effective
For Spring Quarter
'A 60-cent reduction in the student
publications fee for the spring quar
ter was announced by the Publications
Union board following a meeting last
night.
This reduction will lower the total
income of the board, and hence of the
publications, by about $2,000, as each
student will pay $1.70 for publications
in the spring quarter instead of the
former $2.30. -
The reason given by the board for
lowering the amount of the fee was
that, because the board had been mak
ing a profit, there was a' surplus on
hand. It has been the policy of the
board to break as nearly even as pos
sible and to distribute any surplus
among the publications for improve
ments. All student publications showed a
profit during the fall quarter and the
surplus was growing. To use this sur
plus the board has authorized the
equipping of some of the publications'
offices with new typewriters. Other
improvements are being considered.
It was decided by the board that it
was too late in the year to begin any
large scale improvements. This has
been deferred until next year. Hence
the provision that the reduction in the
fee is to be only temporary; that is,
it will not extend to next year.
The maximum fee which may be
charged is $6.90 a year per student.
The fee was originally $G. It was then
raised to the maximum figure.
As it stands each student will have
paid at the end of the year a publi
cations fee of $6.30.
