A unanimous vote of the Phi
assembly last night asserted that
"high prices at Swain hall com
pared with other eating places in
Chapel Hill would seem to indi
cate that it is being run ineffi
ciently or else is not being run on
a non-profit basis as was announced.'
Participating in the discussion
was state congressman from Or
ange county, J. W. Umstead, who
declared that, "the University
must provide food, milk, and text
books to students at cost and that
any profit making on these items
cannot be tolerated."
Continuing his remarks, Um
stead said: "I can understand
UNC making money on its util
ities but not on supposed non
profit organizations operated for
students, and I cannot see why
they want to, since that profit
goes to the general fund of the
stats, and not. back to the Univer
sity. The motive for profit can
only be a leftover from the days
when it went to the University."
The decision followed a de
tailed report which indicated
"unjustly high" prices by a com
parison of food costs in Swain
with that in the N. C. Carolina
cafeteria, campus fraternities
and the cafeteria at N. C. State.
The report, three weeks in com
pilation, was submitted by a spe
cial investigating committee
chair-manned by speaker pro-
tem Frank Earnheart.
Average cost of meals at
Swain hall. Phi members were
told, is 55 cents. Quantity is fair
and quality is poor. Kitchen
sanitation, as indicated by re-

for colder meat boxes and more
thorough dishwashing, is poor.

Poll of Student Reading Closed By War Conditions
Literary Survey Abandoned For Duration
The Intercollegiate Literary
Survey of the Saturday Review
of Literature, which was grow
ing to nation-wide acclaim dur
ing its brief existence, became
another organization to fold-up
recently due to war conditions.
With the March survey, the
ILS closed its doors for the du
ration since most of the student
heads on the various campuses
have left for the service. While
the survey was in operation, it
gave a cross-section of what col
lege students and, faculty mem
bers were reading and it stirred
up active interest in contempor
ary reading. t
The poll originated early in
November when Walter Klein
contacted the weekly magazine
and suggested the Intercollegi
ate Literary Survey. Selecting
members of the advisory com
mittee from students on the
Carolina campus, Klein contact
ed men and women on 100 cam
puses throughout the nation to
conduct the survey on their cam
puses. When this naa oeen com
pleted, colleges from Maine to
Florida and from California to
the. Atlantic were represented.
The survev started off m
grand style. An accurate' cross
