he hedged somewhat on the merger

officials have appeared before the pan

To combat a 200 per cent jump in
book thefts apparent during the fall
quarter the University library has in
troduced stringent regulations gov
erning the checking out of books.
Of 600 books missed during the
past year, library officials estimated
in recent interviews, 350 disappeared
during the two and one-half month
fall quarter. Although no figures are
available, it is estimated that the fin-
i ancial losses run well into the four
figure category.
Library personnel however is more
concerned with the loss to the stu
dents. Bill Bulloch, reserve reading
room supervisor, stated that "the per
centage of students gaining access to
books is tremendously reduced with
each book lost. It is for this reason
that the library has shown so much
concern over lost books. Many of them
are irreplaceable."
Library officials attribute the in
crease thefts to the irritation of the
book shortage by the increased en
rollment. After frustrated attempts
to obtain books for daily assignments,
students have resorted to: (1) deli
berately stealing books without check
ing them out; (2) taking books from
shelves intending to return them; (3)
keeping checked-out books when they

reference books and carrying them to
their rooms.
The greatest permanent losses were
sustained by the general college lib
rary and the reserve reading room.
Total fall quarter deficits for these
two sections were 200 publications
as compared with a previous high for
one quarter of 70 books. Consequently
the library in January introduced
mpre rigid rules than have ever been
exercised in the past, which resulted
in a sharp drop in losses.
The reserve reading room and the
general college library now require
that all students show identification
cards upon checking out a book. Nar
row passageways leaving the library
have been set up next to the check out
desks to prevent students from tak
ing books that have not been checked
out. In addition, books most frequen
tly missing have been put on closed
shelves behind the desks so they can
not be taken without being checked
out.
Pointing out the shortage of books
as the main factor stimulating thefts,
Bulloch said that of an original 45
copies of Rockwell Tint's "Trans
lations of Chaucer" last spring, 15
were left at the end of the summer
term. "On the other hand," he" said,
"the economics department which sup
plied a sufficient number of books by
buying them themselves experiences
only negligible loss."
New System Will Be Used to Select
Nominees for Legislature Positions
Alex Davis, chairman of the University party, announced yes

A polling place will be set up in
each dormitory and will be kept open
from noon to 11 p. m. to insure all
residents a chance to vote. Ballots
will be printed and the name of every
man endorsed by 10 members of the
dormitory will be included on the
ballot provided that the man is will

Write-in ballots will be counted. To
insure a fair election all interested
persons will be allowed to assist at
the polls and watch the counting of
the ballots. Only men living in the
dormitory will be allowed to vote.
Davis stated that the University
party decided upon the new method
for selecting nominees for two main
reasons: "First, because there are
many good men who have a sincere
interest in student government who
do not want to join a political party

Booker Paintings
Now Being Shown
In Person Gallery
By Dee Sweat
Among the paintings in the North
Carolina Artists Exhibit at Person
hall are two excellent examples of
the work of Nell Booker, native Cha
pel Hill artist, entitled "City Street
Scene" and "Portrait of a. Man."
Miss Booker received her college
degree here at tl$e University and then
went to New York city to study at the
Art Students league. While in New
York she studied under almost every
teacher in the city, from the most
conservative to the most radical, in
cluding Raphael and Moses Soyer and
George Crosz.
She says that drawing comes more
naturally to her than painting; that
drawing seems instinctive and paint
ing a necessary burden. She, there
fore, prefers to work in oil, due to its
versatile quality. She lays claim to
no approach or technique other than
a search for reality in an object. Her
two paintings in the exhibit show a
strong influence of other artists whom
she admires.
Other Chapel Hill artists display
ing paintings in the exhibit are Ken
neth Ness, Mary Louise Huse, Clare
Leighton, Mabel Smith, and Ben Wil
liams. "The Awakening," a large dynamic
oil by Kenneth Ness, is an example
of the modern trend in art. Ness is a
resident artist at the University. Pro
fessor Ness, who has been connected
with the art department here since
1941 spent three months in Florence,
Italy, during the war, holding studio
classes in drawing and painting for
combat veterans in the U. S. Army
Study Center. He was one of a group
if civilian instructors sent to Europe
after V-E Day to conduct classes for
American soldiers until they could re
turn home.

up salary increases for faculty mem

in 1948.
Holding its annual midwinter meet
ing at Davidson, the board also named
Charles A. Parker to the coaching
staff to teach wrestling and assist in
other sports.
All-Time High
College President John R. Cunning
ham reported that the 897 students
enrolled this year represent an all
time high. He added that many hun
dreds of applications had been reject
ed because the college lacked facilities
to handle more students.
Cunningham says the problem will
be even greater, next year. He points
cut that many college students recent
ly returned from military service
have not yet resumed their studies,
and that North Carolina high schools
will graduate 11,000 boys this year
compared to 3,600 last year. The in
crease, he says, is due to addition of
the 12th year to the state school sys
tem.
WSSF Collects $2,300
In Recent Campaign
Gay Morenus, co-chairman of the
World Student Service fund cam
paign, said last night that almost
$2,300 has been collected. This sum
is well over twice as much as was
collected last year. Morenus said, "We
are particularly enthusiastic over
the response of Victory Village."
As only one fraternity, Phi Gam
ma Delta, had contributed at the end
of the drive Monday; solicitors have
been asked to canvass the individual
fraternity houses. Although the orig
inal goal of WSSF was $5,500, the
central committee considers the drive J
a success.
Solicitations closed Monday. How-!
ever, individual contributions will
still be accepted
kel or 50 cents entitles one to mem
bership and the holder of the shekel
subscribes to the "Basle Program
and to the discipline of the World
Zionist Organization."
The Carolina IZFA, through its
speaker's bureau and study groups,
seeks to bring the facts of Zionism to
the Carolina student and to the pub
lic at large. The local chapter, of
which Albert Jacobson is chairman,
wishes to cooperate with any campus
organization that desires information
about the Zionist movement.'
No group of 20 or 40 students can
know all the qualified men in a school
of 7,000 students. We will do, all that
we can to insure that these elections
are fair to select the candidates which
the dormitory residents want to rep
