Z"T Help Us, Profs wv,fln Rfnrfpnt Advisorv members and book publishers, and not the Book Exchange, are to blame for excessive book costs it causes us to wonder if the average faculty member does his part to help the student from a financial viewpoint. If we can base our opinion on information gathered from the news story on the book problem in Sunday's Daily Tar Heel we are convinced that the faculty is letting the student body down. 4 . Here are the facts: The Book Exchange does not make enor mous profits from the sale of .text books.. Actual figures show that profits from this division of Book Exchange sales are con siderably lower than profits on other items sold by the Book Ex. At the beginning of each quarter.the Book Exchange sends ques tionnaires 'to faculty members asking them to report their text book needs for the coming quarter. Questionnaires were sent out at the start of the past winter quarter to 263 instructors. One month later the -Book Exchange had received only 44 re plies or from 15' per cent of the faculty. Two months later 96 faculty members still had not replied or in any way given the Book Exchange an indication of textbooks their students would be required to use. If University faculty members can lower book costs for the average student by filling out a simple questionnaire we contend it is their duty to do so. When these same faculty members ask their students to turn in reports they expect action. If two fifths of the members of every class failed to respond to assign ments, that number would faih Perhaps it might be well for the administration to check the list of faculty members who have failed tq respond. The Student Advisory committee has recommended in its re port that lack of cooperation from the faculty would be remedied if each' department would appoint a secretary or some instructor to be responsible for getting in all the orders on time. This plan . is. already being satisfactorily ( followed by the German and Mathematics departments. .' . , . The Book Exchange has been cleared of charges that it makes enormous profits , from the sale of textbooks. The blame for' outrageous prices has been placed with proof r on faculty members and bookpublishers. We are in no position to deal with the publishers, but we do ask that the faculty do its bit in the future to reduce the cost of textbooks. 0. C. Loan Fund Source President Frank P. Gra ham will go to Raleigh tomor row to plead for the hundreds of students in the University here and the hundreds at State college and Woman's college who would not be in school if loan funds were not open to them. -He will appear before the finance committee of the House of Representatives to explain the use the Univer sity make's of escheats money which comes to the Univer sity (through state constitu tional provision) when ac counts have lain in banks un claimed for 10 years. The University holds the money in perpetuity for the real owners, using it all the while couege year. National Advertising Service Inc. (WIet "mtlabert Ret tit utttipf A2.Q Maoiwn Avx. HW torn. H. Y. Editor Managing Editor Burinets Manager Circulation Manager committee reveals that faculty as loans for students. When a legal claimant appears, the. money goes back to him. Even though the State Commission of Banks and the North Carolina Bankers as sociation endorse the pending bill, which would put teeth in the constitutional provision, it is being opposed by indi vidual bankers. If the accounts remained in banks indefinite ly, service charges would con sume them. , . Dr. Graham is doing some thing more than back up the constitution of North Caro lina; he is doing more than look to the welfare of ' the needy students in the institu tions he heads; he is protect ing the interests of widows and children who might ap pear 15 years hence to claim Sports: HARKY hullokus nunm Apropos of Nothia Friday I somehow managed to wend my initial way to Elean aw column "My Day" and found therein' an account of a Washington tea party at which our late Good Neighbors were the principle oddities. They do get around, don't they? The First Lady lit in one place long enough to talk Passing a shop window that displayed Lady Buxton wallets yesterday, I was reminded of an incident concerning -the attractive millionheiress of, that family. She kept walking1, around a Cincinnati swimming pool in a very brief bathing, suit one 'morning and created 'quite a stir, as she's a very large girl and where curves are intended nature didn't spare the pro-i toplasm. One woman's curiosity got the better of her and she turned to the -woman who told me this story and asked: "Who is that girl?" ' ' "Why that's the Buxton girl," said my friend. - " .. Yes I know," replied the other. "But what's her name?" I stoop to concur that America is the world's nicest place right now, but if X get reminded of the fact much more through the channels of the ads and movies my affections might dwindle. It wasn't so bad when they man aged to squeeze plugs for the Home of the Brave into "Nice Girl Question Mark," "So Ends Our Night," Andrew Hardy's latest; and "Little Nellie Kelly," but putting Isn't-it-great-to-be-in-America' stuff in "The Maraud ers," was just too much. - . . Soliloquy to be delivered in or around in the shadow of Harry's, Aggie's -or La Buckette: "I'm under .the affluence of icohol (1c), but I'm not as thunk as you drink I am; I fool so feelish and I don't care see whose me!" Pretty silly, aint it? . v Notes Scribbled on a Frayed Cuff Someone getting mixed up on Broadway plays and referring to "George Slepington Washed Here" ... - . Sounanfury is going to record "Standing Room Only's" better musical numbers this week for public consumption if the public wants to consume. I still say Ann Guill and the Four Sounds could sing "Marching Through Georgia" in Atlanta and make 'em like it .. . - Roll out the barrel! Kathleen Lineback has taken up drinking the med students' panacea, i.e., bismuth, grain alcohol, and a wee dash of arsenic (What, no iodoform?). - It's unnamed as yet so I suggest calling it an "Adios Amigo" ... Pretty soon the CPU is gonna begin to think that they don't want to speak here . . .

PU ACTS (Continued from first page) University controller, and L. B. Rog erson, assistant controller. Carmichael said, "In conception and execution it was so good I would have liked it even if it had featured coed cheer , leaders and drum majorettes." Petitions were circulated in the coed dorms, in Everett, Graham and Steele dormitories in favor of the supple ment while numerous other individuals and small groups wrote favorable let ters and cards. The board's motion allotted $55.00 for printing, pictures, and engraving in another feature section. The re mainder of the cost must be obtained through additional advertising. The board also authorized an invest igation of- a new addressograph for the publications circulation office and . approved the purchase of 72 shelf boards for keeping the Daily Tar Heel on files. It is now planned to issue the next edition of the Tab Heel feature sec tion the second Sunday of next quar-' ter. On the first Sunday the paper will have its annual fashion supple ment.

An Ear By Louis Harris ILen FINALE AND ORCHIDS At the end of each quarter; after the usual bombastic, critical course that we take during the regular term, we think of exams, pray to God that we can pass them and then feel very humani tarian. That is why we devote the last column of each quarter giving" out r raise rather than harsh criticism for we are one person who believes there is more good in this woxld than bad. ... : Hence, we proceed with, the . roll .call: : . . : " - ; ; ATHLETIC TEAMS: .Their place one that adds to the fame and fortune of the University through- ; out the nation, they have this quarter set a new high. With top-" rate basketball, boxing, wrestling, swimming, and fencing teams, we might not have gone through a season undefeated but it is certainly known that Carolina teams are the ; cleanest, hardest playing; any school has met all quarter. To jgrant individual honors is to lose ; the spirit of the cooperative effort, of both student body and teams to make us win. INFIRMARY STUFF: In a quar ter filled with illness and grief, patient, hard-working doctors, nurses, and student volunteers have been put to the acid test. Long hours and weary limbs meant noth ing to them, as 'they energetically bent their efforts to stem the tide of sickness and disease. Their work is a tribute to the medical prof es sion and to the doggedness and de termination of the human soul when it means to help instead of destruct. SOUND AND FURY: Riding the crest without a rudder, when chief song writer and inspirational worker Jack Page pased away, these showmen and women worked day and night to ready their show that once more made a student body laugh and chuckle, as well as . roar in approval as dixicongas strutted by. The creed of all troup ers to carry on through tears of joy was here demonstrated. . DR. FRANK GRAHAM :'. Meet ing opposition and the threat of in security at every turn, he managed to talk a doubtful State Legislature into appropriating enough funds to keep our University running for the next two years , at least. The drain that four months of continual effort and campaigning took on his health will never be known to the general public. DRS. LEAVITT AND LYONS: Undertaking the huge task Of orien tating 110 Latin-Americans to the American way of living, they not only arranged a daily program that was both full and complete, but also stimulated mutual interest and co operation between the lands above and below the Panama canal. The guest-host relationship might have deevloped more closely in certain instances than in others, but on the whole it did transform just neigh bors into "good neighbors." 1 ' PUBLICATIONS: To Editors Spies and Witten and to Managing Editor Charles Barrett of our own sheet, goes credit for making our ; campus' official publications more attractive, readable, and worthy than most we have seen in the past three years. Spies with his semi humorous significances; Witten with his added pictures, in spite of seeming egocentricity; and Bar ret with his attractive Sunday sup plement. . THE STUDENT BODY: Driven on by top-rate athletic contests, dances and entertainments - that took hold of all but one weekend in the quarter, bed-ridden by the waves of flu, mumps, and measles, and hampered by the usual muddy winter quarter weather, the student body has come through them all in con dition to put out effort and energy for a last final try this week. The winter quarter, 1941, will long be remembered as one of alternate joys and sorrows. To a beleaguered stu dent body it will be the toughest in many years to come. We pay tribute to these people and many more who have, perhaps been up there but . haven't quite found the sweetness and light necessary for mention. This quar urn On- Sale "The Virginia Calendar 1 941 - muu, iume earner, present-day England BULL'S HEAD BOOK SHOP ter, as each, at Carolina, will be remembered as a distinctive and in dividual experience in itself. Our best two wishes aret that Hit ler waits until the United States gives Britain its mosquito boats, then attacks the British Isles, and is driven to smitherens from whence he came, although we plead sym pathy and understanding for the German peoples; and that our va cations are made more enjoyable by reports that we are still eligible to come back to Chapel Hill next quarter. ' NEWS BRIEFS (Continued from first page) even if I must use force.w LONDON, March 10. The French government's threat . to use its war ships to break the 'British blockade tonight brought a defiant British re ply in an allegiation that Adolf Hit ler is trying to provoke war between Britain and France for his own in terest. - There was every indication that the warning of French Vice-premier Ad miral Francois Darlan would be re jected and that the British navy will continue its stringent blockade of Ger many and the German-controller ter ritories. WASHINGTON, March 10. Warn ing that there is a "striking analogy" between, the present attitude in the United States and that which destroy ed France, William C. Bullitt today urged an awakening to the realiza tion that this country "now is in the gravest danger she has ever faced." The former ambassador to France said he believed "this realization will be aroused more in the next few weeks when the German air and submarine attacks begin in force." LONDON, March 11.
