The The drive is being carried on in response to two letters which have been printd in The Daily Tar Heel from Dr. Shannon McCune in Tok yo, Japan. In the first letter, print ed on Feb. 12, Dr. McCune said, "I have found numerous book shops are providing at a low, ob viously subsidized cost Russian geographies and other texts. Many students are buying and using these books without much dis crimination. "They may be absorbing the propaganda along with the in formation at the same time." Dr. McCune asked, "Could you and your colleagues suggest to your students, after outlining the situation, that those who have no further use for their texts to give them to be sent to Japan."

Boy n ton Tells Students Ways To Find A Job Several hundred students heard Paul Boynton employmet super visor of Socony-Vacuum Oil Com pany described "Six Ways to Get a Job this week at a meeting spon sored by ' Alpha Kappa - Psi, Delt Sigma Pi, and the Placement Ser vice. Boynton advised that "an em ployment manager is really a pur chasing agent trying to select persons who will prove the best investment for his company that the market affords. 'Therefore, you must be a sales man. To land a job and the right job is one in which you will find happiness, peace of mind, and contentment you must be able to sell yourself. After you find a job, progress in yourwork de pends on your ability to get your ideas across. In fact in all - re lationships with people we are at tempting to sell ourselves." Boynton, who has seen military service in both world wars, says military service can offer valuable experience. His advice is to "make the most of it, and in many cases you will find that the added ex perience and matury it affords can be a definite asset when job- time comes." But before you go out to find a job, be prepared. Know yourself and what you have to offer. Know something about the company to which you apply and how you can fit its organization. The ability to express yourself well, orally and in writing, is the most im portant aspect of your sales cam paign throughout the rest of your life. And remember' that getting along in life depends on getting along with others." Boynton pointed out the follow ing ways to get a job: through college placement facilities, family, friends, personal solicitation, em ployment agencies (particularly in metropolitan areas), advertisement, and written applications Duke Women Pass Rule To Extend Dorm Hours DURHAM, Feb. 25 Duke Wo men's Student Government has passed a revision extending the East Campus dormitory closing p.m. to 1 p.m. The revision will go into effect this weekend.

Library Open Later Saturday, But No Change Yet To Sunday By James Wright rial limitations and human en- The library has extended its durance would make this impossi- Saturday night closing-hour, but does not want to replace Saturday with Sunday in this time change, according to Assistant Librarian Olan V. Cook. At the suggestion of a recent Daily Tar Heel editorial, the li brary agreed to change its Sat urday closing time. from 5 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. Cook emphasized the position of the library within the Univer sity, describing it as a "service" and not an institution within it self. "The library wants to give the best service possible, and even wishes it could remain open 24 hours a day, Tut, of course, finan ill-considered 'glory legislation' of. a vote-purchasing organiza tion," , . . "The UP wants to keep stu dent politics on a high plane," stated Stevens. "Yet, Henry Lowet, Joel Fleishman and other SP,s insist on . "dragging our good student government one of. the top four in the na-. tion-through political mud. It is Lowet and his SP's who owe the student , body . an apology." ... Absent Solons Thirteen legislators. almost, one-fourth., of , the , assembly . were absent Thursday night. One . lawmaker called . the ab sences "a very pitiful situation.". Student Party absentees were: Milton Cooke, Gordon Hall, Ira Hardy, Al Korschun, .George Whiteside and Mac Morris. University Party members who were absent were: Anna- Bell, Carol DuPler, Car olyn, Little, Burt Veazey, Don Miller and Bob Meacham.

Plans ior his trip here on commercial airliner were cancelled late in the afternoon; an hour be- fnTn Vlic follr nroc err. Vlr?i, la1 4 (begin in Hill Hall, Long was still in Washington, waiting around on the floor of the Senate to vote "yes" on the Bricker amendment. The Senator made it with the help , of an Air Force plane an hour late, but not at all harried by the fast trip. He stepped out on the stage immaculate in a blue suit, but probably a 'little hungry. He hadn't had a chance to eat supper and didn't until' almost midnight. fThe whole breakneck' business was not without a touch of em barrassment for Long. In the ques tion and answer period following his talk,, somebody raised a loaded query: "How do you feel about senators' using special transpor tation?". That brought a laugh from the audience and a clearly , noticeable blush to Long's face. But he ex plained his, trip frankly, ("There was this colonel at the airport who needed some flying hours") and just as good-naturedly. . remem bered that he had helped cut the Air Force budget by $5 million last year. . , Someone else in the audience asked Sen. Long his considered Louisiana opinion on pot-likker and cornpone. He went on record in favor of them, but averred he liked his cornpone better with turnip greens. ble, "There probably would be some graduate students and upperdass men in here at 4 o'clock in the morning if we were open then. Many people get started on a pro ject and do their best work at that time," commented Cook. How ever, he continued, there are lim itations, and some members of the staff have already expressed a desire not to remain open on Sunday nights. Cook pointed out that the Gen eral College Room, the Reserve Reading Room, and the Business Library are already open Sunday nights until 10. He said he would be interested in student reaction to the question of having the full library open Sunday evening but would have to consult' with the Chancellor before taking definite action. Librarian Cook described last Saturday night's turnout as "ra ther small," but "we were com peting with several activities around town, including the basket ball "game." The library would like to observe student interest for three or four more weekends before making any statement on the results. By changing the Saturday night closing time from 5 o'clock to 10:45, the library now serves the University and the town 98 hours a week, and according to a sur vey by the United States Office number of hours open a week for college libraries in Uie country.

Carolina men have been in vited has been cancelled according to an announcement of the St. Mary's dean of students yesterday. uflioi yf But Urbane If you're interested in the cor rect pronounciation of the name of Long's home state, incidentally, you wouldn't have gotten much light on the subject from the sen ator. He pronounced it both ways last night Loo-si-ana and Loo-ee-si-ana. ' . . ' In . remarks after his prepared speech was over, Long reiterated his stand against the Democratic high command in favor of Hawai lan statehood and took a gentle swipe or two at Sen. McCarthy, "A lot of people say things just as silly as McCarthy; they just don t hit the headlines as often." He also called the Marshall Plan "the greatest humanitarian effort I 1V ltTftnmt n J 1 11 . yeiuaps me most seiness. . After the speech, Long chatted with students for almost an hour, chewing pecans on a sofa at Graham Memorial. He spent the night in Chapel Hill and will leave this morning for Washington.

Weaver Addresses Baptists Dean Talks Religion By Bennie Stewart "No organization on a college campus can take the place of the church in giving a studect the right outlook on religious mat ters," Dean Fred Weaver told a group of Baptist students and townspeople at the Baptist Church this week. Speaking to the Baptists at their weekly Family Night ser vice, the Dean emphasized par ticularly, the place of the student pastor in promoting a student's religious life! The student co-ordinator went on to mention various organiza tions on campuses which attempt to instill a religious attitude in the s'tudent. "In a state,support ed school like Carolina," he said, "the spiritual life of the stu dents is entrusted largely to organizations like the YMCA and YWCA." Weaver told his au dience that in a private institu tion, students depend" on chapel services to aid them along reli gious lines. The dean also gave something" of the part played by the dean of students in a student's reli gious life. , "The role of the dean is to humanfee the institution. But no person can manufacture the at mosphere of a community, least of all the dean of students." f Ura(n) Russia Abuses Veto Privilege, Says Senator By Louis Kraar Sen. Russell B. Long (D-La.), late to his talk here last night be cause of the Bricker Amendment showdown on Capitol Hill, rec ommended a new United Nations without Russia. Long said the UN has "dignified one of 'the most fiendish govern ments that has ever existed in that during this time the Soviets have paralyzed the UN." He said he was referring to Russia's "abuse of the veto." (The young senator, youngest in that body at present, said there The Bricker Amendment failed of passage in the U. S. Senate yesterday. The vote, on the George version of the bill, was 60-31 in favor of passage, one vote short of the required two thirds majority. Sen.

Long suggested that thp Should the United Nations move to form a new world organization. Long said, this will create no more danger of war than was created by establishment of NATO or the construction of American bases circling the Iron Curtain. "The provision of the UN Char ter itself requires that alterations should be considered at the end of ten years. The revision of the UN Charter is scheduled for 1955," he pointed out. Long said he doesn't agree with Secretary of State Dulles' proposal that the best method of getting around Russia's veto in the Secur ity Council is to work through a (See SENATOR, page 4) Speaking from experiences drawn from a tour of leading American colleges and univer sities, the dean pointed out some of the, problems connected with the office of Dean of Students. In the tour, which took him from the University of Virginia to the University of Washington, Dean Weaver said there was only one campus where all was peace and . quiet. This was the Univer sity of California, and the rea son for the state of peace was that "all the students had gone home for the Easter holidays." Continuing with his remarks on religion on college campuses, he said: 1 "State universities suffer from strictures placed by the separa tion of church and state. For this reason it is hard for such a university to provide a true religious atmosphere." Weaver described Haverford, a Quaker college in Pennsyl vania, and the University of Utah, a Mormon school, as "hav ing the most nearly pervasive religious atmosphere", of . any schools- he visited. - In speaking of the purpose of a college, the dean commented: "The purpose of a college is to create a condition where the students can make mistakes with out these mistakes being costly."
