It was stated that reasons for holding the international confer ence at the University are three- a young and energetic pnysics faculty at Chapel Hill, and 3. the "truly excellent conference facili ties" here. Most of the conferences will be closed work-shop sessions; however, there will be a "popular symposium' to which the public is invited at which time phases of Service STELLA ANDERSON ... on critical list gravitational research will be dis- 1 cussed by scientists attending the conference.

UNC Library Ranks 3rd m f?Pft Qn 11 1 IVCy IWll The jjC Library, once the largest in the south, is now third in size anj from an indications wiu sylp into 4th or 5th place bv the end of this school year. An annual statistical report published by the Louisiana State University Library for the year 1955-56 places the Wilson Library's volume count at 831,119 as com pared with. 1,244, 880 for Duke and 1,166,295 for Texas. The Wilson Library received 4.3 of the funds appropriated for UNC expenditures last year. Twenty-five of the 47 southern acajemic libraries covered by ; the report received a larger per- j cent Last' year the Wilson Library allotted $100,000 for books, period icals, and bindings, a cut 'of $22, 500 from the previous year. Dur ing the same period Florida spent $247,260, Duke $224,963 and Lou isiana State $170,125. President William Friday has called the lagging library program one of the major problems facing the University today. He told the Board of Trustees, soon after his appointment as President of the Consolidated University, that the library must be greatly strength ened to stimulate research and provide the equipment and mater ials needed by the faculty and students.

W After a week's use, doll's clothing can get wrinkled, too, and so a little girl yesterday took out her mother's iron and ironing board and neatly pressed the miniature garments she had received for Christmas. Satisfied, the 10-year-old girl put away the board and went on to other things. But, as she admitted later, the board was still smoking and within minutes touched off a two-alarm fire in a Chapel.

Tom is driving a $9,000 LaSalle to and from classes. At least that is about what it cost back in 1937 .vhen it was manufactured. Actu ally, Tom oniy paid $100 for it. Tom Gillette is working on his Ph.D. in sociology under the di rection of Dr. Reuben Hill, UNC family sociologist. Tom's wife, Jan et, teaches Spanish at Duke Uni versity and takes the car to work so Tom has remedied the walking tituation at UNC by purchasing a big, 'black LaSalle hearse.

Visits Abroad Are Planned For Thik Spring And Summer 20 College Students Will Study In Germany A group of 20 selected Ameri can college students will visit Ber lin this summer to study the lan guage, culture, art, and civilisa tion of Germany during a six-week stay in the former capital. Headed by Dr. Frank D. Hirsch bach, members of the faculty o" Yale University, the group will undergo intensive language tra:n- ing during the ten-day boat trip to Bremerhaven. Graded classes in Berlin under the supervision of na tive German professors will deal with tne reading of classical and modern texts, the daily press, pub lications on contemporary prob lems, conversation and composi tion, pronunciation, and grammar. Students will also hear lectures on German literature and history meet with outstanding personali ties who reside in Berlin and have lull auditing privileges at the Free University. Members of Classrooms Aboard will live with German families and will have ample opportunities to meet yxung Germans from student, religious, and political organiza tions. They will visit theatres, con certs, movies, operas, museums, li braries, factories, youth organiza tions, relugee camps, the East Set tor and the East Berlin university, Potsdam, and other sights.

Besides working on his Ph.D., Gil. lette is a part-time instructor in marriage and the family. He also acts as a marriage and engage ment counselor. Gillette is 27 and a native of Missouri. While an undergraduate at the University of Missouri, he had a unique and fascinating study on nudism as a facet of collective behavior. Aftdr serving two years with the Marines and getting his A.B., Gil lette completed his M.A. work at the University of Kansas City in 1953. He wrote his thesis on "Race Relations," focusing it on what happens to real estate values when iNegroes move into white neigh borhoods.

"After finishing my Ph.D. work at UNC, I plan to go into full time research for two years in the men tal health field,'; Tom said. "Then, I hope to return to the academic world to teach and carry on re search in mental health and the family." Before coming to UNC, Gillette was an instructor in industrial so ciology at Iowa State College and carried on research in race rela tions. While lecturing on the importance of family budgets recently at UNC, Gillette was asked if the hearse he'd purchased was a "need" or a "want." Gillette hastened to point out the purchase was a "need" and not the hurried result of "impulse" buying. "Look at the money we can save cn camping trips by sleeping in the back," Tom said.
