Colonial Weather
As the temperature soared last week to record heights,
students who could not-afford fans, freezing units or any
of the other heat-shock absorbing devices grumbled loudly,
over the lack of air conditioned facilities in the dorms and
student study areas.
The administration when questioned about chances for
possible air-conditioning s of several reading-study areas in
the library stated aain that Raleigh had already been gen
erous in appropriations for the construction. projects on the
campus and little more could reallyrbe asked for, even after
the work'has been completed. The old refrain that "the legis
lature has been good to us" was hummed once more.
According to tradition no university building can be air
conditioned because every other sweltering state agency
scattered across the Tar Heel expanse would want it too.
The favt that air .-conditioning of a few general areas and
ventilating a few :sweat-house-dorms. .might- incline heat
dodging summer school goers to turn their scholastic atten
tions to Kalina is not argument enough. The fact that books
become soggy and paper crinkles upon contact and student
study efficiency collapses is apparently not a convincing argu
ment either. Air conditioning now, like heating use to be
considered, is still a luxury. After all no other college around
here has it, why should we?
The University officials continue to lament the heat with
the student complainers, dutifully consoling the disgruntled,
and assuring them that "they understand." Yet the Uni
versity doesn't try to explain why the buildings which are
now under construction, convincingly eighteenth century in
style and function, are built in such a manner as to loose all
possible normal construction means for natural weather con
trol, advantages which can be easily maneuvered through
skillful contemporary-design. .
The buildings are placed in true Georgian patterned
quads, with dozens of jail like windows scattered on every
side allowing too much or too little natural light, too much
cold air penetrating in winter and too much hot air in summer.-
-In short, because of insisting on having Chapel Hill turned
into New Williamsburg, and having 1952 dorms built like
their early predecessors, which accommodated no modern
plumbing or heating, we can expect no reasonable improve-
roent in function simply because a colonial building is con
structed in 1952 with good modern materials.
The Chemistry -Department reports that Dr. S. B. Knight
has recently returned from Columbus, Ohio, where he at
tended the Ohio State University Symposium on Molecular
Structure. His trip was dedicated to the presentation of a
paper, co-authored by Dr. Arthur Roe, entitled "The Ultra
violet Absorption Spectra of the Monobromoquirioliries."
Everyone has at least a nebulous conception of what "ul
traviolet," "absorption," and "spectra" but "Monobromoquino
lines" presents something of a problem.
- After a lengthy and somewhat confusing telephone, con
versation with Dr. Knight, it turned out that a Monobromo
quinoline is a type of organic compound which contains car
bon and nitrogen and whose atoms are put together in such
a way that they are interesting to physics and chemistry
students. . .
One's first reaction to this little item of information is
"That's fine.! What next?" Perhaps Dr. Knight had this re
action tooTwhen he first heard 6t a monobromoquinoline. At
! any rate we congratulate Dr. Knight for his wisdom in going
! all the way to Ohio to talk about Monobromoquinolines. Jf
he had gone there just to talk about ions, we would ques
tion' the sensibility of such a project, but a trip there to ex
plain about monobromoquinolines, the ultraviolet absorp
tion spectra of, is obviously thoroughly worth while.
H Should Dr; Knight wish to make a trip to talk about ions,
!we Iwould 'suggest Duke, or better, still, W. C.

FOLKLORE IN THE

Problems
by Rollo Taylor
Not long ago an old grad
picked me up whilst I was do
ing some courting in Raleigh
and we got around to comparing
expense notes for a college stu
dent. He spoke of eating 25-cent
meals, complete with meat and
potatoes, "But," he added, wist
fully, "a Hershey Bar was big
ger in those days." True, how
true. . . .
Not only has the Hershey Bar
dwindled, so has the once pow
erful buffalo nickel. Gone, of
course, are the days of the five
cent beer and hot dog. A ham
burger now runs into three
digits.
Yet the five-cent coke still re
mains, symbolizing the old In
dian head nickel in all its worn
out glory. May be that the
Coca-Cola company can't afford
to retool all its vending ma
chines. Certainly the cost of
production, raw materials and
labor has risen correspondingly
with other prices. '
- The soft drink company's have
tried unsuccessfully to raise the
prices of their products through
hidden taxes and the like but
until they do the five cent Coke
will be our only link to a glori
ous past; when Russia was just
a country in Europe and Asia,
when Germany was all in one
piece and when Neville Cham
berlain assured us of "Peace in
our time."
So until the Coca-Cola Com
pany is successful in lifting
their prices we'll end our night
ly prayers with, "God, bless
mama and papa and brother;
and God, bless the Coca-Cola
Company too."
On Campus-
it may have been done be
fore, but wejll do it again. The
folks who own and manage
Lake Hogan (we can't "name
them all) deserve some extra
compliments.
In the . midst of the Orange
County terrain is a friendly,
lake surrounded by plenty of
green fields. This area is util-.
ized by students for picnics, ball
games, beaches, and other ele
ments of an outing. All this is
generously provided for students
at no cost.
Speaking of lakes; we noticed
for the first time a snavy snazzy
arrangement out at Clearwater
Lake, where you can dance on
a cement padio under a starry
sky and looking over a pretty
lake. There's a juke box to pro
vide the musical background.

For instance, advertising big-

less than the wrapper.
Any other method of selling
would cost the manufacturer
more and therefore raise the
price. Otherwise he wouldn't
use advertising.
