At Solution
To Circulation
Hopes to Clear
Matter Next Week
A second hearing by the Pub
lications Union board on the
present circulation problem of
the Daily Tar Heel ended in sev
eral temporary proposals in an
effort to find a solution to the
main problem, that of getting
copies to every student on cam
pus, y
The board decided in a con
ference with. Clifford Heming
way, circulation manager, that
copies for town students would
be left in the Y, at the Carolina
Inn and at Lenoir ; . hall. Five
hundred copies will be left in
the "Y" for town students only
and they are instructed to pick
them up there. Smaller quanti
ties will he left at Lenoir and the
Inn. On Sunday, town students
will be able to secure copies at
Lenoir.
r The board expressed the hope
that dormitory and fraternity
students who will have papers
delivered to their houses will re
frain from taking the copies
which are to be placed in tjhe
"Y." :
' In" answering charges to tlie
many complaints which have
come both to the board and to
the Daily Tar Heel editors, Hem
ingway told the board that many
of the complaints he had re
ceived were from students who
had never received copies of the
Daily Tar Heel and had either
moved to new residences or were
new students.
Door-to-door delivery will be
maintained throughout the dor
mitories and town subscribers
will receive them by mail as pre
viously announced in the Daily
Tar Heel. Members of the board
stated that they realized the in
flux of students and the unstable
state of "the campus meant
greater circulation problems and

post of circulation manager,
pending a solution to the trouble.
The board will meet again next
Thursday after having two
lengthy sessions this week to
delve further into circulation

trial if he so requests.
Murchison maintained that
the accused had protection from

able to secure witnesses before
his trial. Pat Kelly, a member of
