Nothing is expected to produce tears,
flutters, sighs and wringing of hands quite
like the yearbook can.
It seizes the past, usable and worthless,
sublime and ridiculous, and dresses it to
arouse the inquiring student's interest in
remembrance.
It is the catalyst which bears one
essential message to everyone: "speak
memory."

Fifty more refrigerators will be
available for student rental "sometime
this week" on a first-come, first-serve
basis.
Student Body Treasurer Guil Waddell
said Tuesday the additional refrigerators
will be the last issued this year.
The exact day of rentals will be
announced this week in The Daily Tar
Heel.
Waddell expressed his appreciation to
the 786 students applying for refrigerator
permits and offered apologies for the
shortage of units.
According to Waddell, Student
Government had approximately 350
refrigerators on hand when rentals began.
Thus far 407 units have been issued, with
60 to 75 students still wishing to rent
refrigerators.
"We had no idea that so many people
would want refrigerators or that they
would be literally camping outside the
door of Suite C waiting to get one," he
said.

Is Amusing,
Interesting
The University Library has enjoyed a
colorful and sometimes humorous
history. From the times during University
President Joseph Caldwell's
administration in 1818 when the library
was located on the second story of South
Building, to the present when it is
approaching two million volumes, the
library has remained a fixed institution in
the University community.
In 1835, President David L. Swain
kept the library, which consisted of about
3,600 books, in his attic. Some people
back then accused him of hoping that the
library would burn up, since the attic
would be the first place to go in case of
fire.
The alumni forced him to move the
books to Smith Hall (now Playmaker's
Theatre), which was built for use as a
ballroom. Smith Hall was the first
building especially assigned to serve as a
library.
By 1895, the library had grown to
40,000 volumes and was running out of
room in Smith Hall. Through the
workings of President Francis T. Venable,
the University obtained a $55,000 grant
from Andrew Carnegie to build a new
library.
The new library was located in the
building now known as Hill Hall and had
a capacity for 200,000 volumes.
The library grew out of the new
building in little more than thirty years
when, in 1929, a larger library was built
during the administration of President
Harry Wood burn Chase.
The new library, which is the present
Wilson library, was a Roman domed
building which commanded a position
overlooking the quadrangle. It was
complete at a cost of approximately
$625,000.
The entire new library was planned by
Dr. Louis Round Wilson, who is 94
years old and still works three hours a
day in a third floor office in Wilson
Library.

company supplying the refrigerators, was
hit by a huge demand for units this fall
from other campuses and had trouble
shipping them.
Also, student government
underestimated the number of
refrigerators needed. Waddell said nearly
half of the refrigerators used last year
were student-owned or obtained from
sources other than student government.
Student government based this year's
order on last year's demand, Waddell said,
and got caught short.
Waddell asked that any student with
ideas on improving the system of renting
contact him in the student government
office.
Anyone wishing to serve on the
Student Service Committee, the group
handling rentals, can be interviewed by
Waddell from 2-5 p.m. next Monday or
may arrange an appointment this week in
Suite C of the Student Union.
Waddell said complaints should be
directed to Sherry Yates at 933-5202.

p.m.; at 10 minute intervals from 4:30
p.m.-5 p.m.; and 15 minute intervals from

Directory
Schedules.-
The Carolina Organization Directory, a
source of information about campus
activities, will hold a meeting for students
interested in staff positions, at 3 p.m.
today in Suite C of the Union.
Andy Swepston, chairman of the
directory, said the staffers will be
concerned mainly with finishing the
directory's file on University
organizations and updating existing files
iintil the directory becomes fully
operative about the middle of the
semester."
However, the directory will be open to
students next week on a limited basis,
Swepston said.
"There are very few people left over
from last year's staff," Swepston said.
"Many of our activities depend on the
number of people we can get to work.
In addition to supplying information
about organizations, the directory will
have a lounge in Suite C to give students
an opportunity to talk wiht student
government members and directory
staffers about current issues at the
University, Swepston said. This "liason
area" is a joint project of the student
government and the directory.
"There is no place on campus to
register complaints or ask general
questions," Swepston said. "We hope to
bring the students in contact with those
involved in the issues and supply
background information about the
events."
He said the directory is "aimed at the

Anyway, the book, basically uneven, has
its moments.
For example, you learn that Chapel
Hill is "exposed by a lack of trees to the
whims of the atmosphere." Where else
could you find that fact, short of reading
A. N. Strahler's physical geography text.
It is rarely mentioned but significant.
Then too, the "Yackety Yack" is
strewn with verbal cleverness.
"Greekywocky," a combination of satire
and nonsense, mocks fraternities. It is
handsomely complemented by cartoons.

Aside from the wit and insight

repeatedly prove the old "1 .000-word"
maxim about the value of pictures. A

UNC students, individuals, not a lepers,
herd or tribe. To present the kinship
system here for anthropology buffs,
endless pages of brothers and sisters

You know why the photographs ar;

support for athletics? It is also obvious
the white-faced heifers (in magnificent
color) are inextricably linked to the black

I don't mean to suggest the
"Yackety-Yack" or any annual should be
so well-organized that all the pictures and
prose are self-explanatory. However, the
"Yack" becomes a misshapen monster
because it tries to be two kinds of annual.
Its contents waver between formality and
informality, organizational and individual
focus.
A connection, however tenuous, must
exist between dandelions, cows, campus
lovelies and babies, elders and student
pohtics and politicos. Whether it exists or
not, all these related subjects are housed
in one immovable feast, the "Yackety
Yack."
By the way, if the binding comes apart
and the pages fall out, pick them up.
Then, carefully rearrange the pages. Omit
what you dislike. Add your own stuff, if
you lice. But, so long as the spine shall
last, the 1970 "Yack" can be safely
classed: heavy, very.
