Coker Sees Lovely Star Prof. E. C. Coker, teacher of astrono my, has gained national prominence this week by his discovery of a new star, said to be the brightest found in some time in this area. The discovery came about by accident last Thursday night, after 10 p. m. Prof. Coker, gazing through his telescope in the observatory said that the field of view of the instrument became'clouded as he turncd it toward the east. "Then, suddenly, I beheld such bright beauty as I have seldom seen, not since the days of my youth." I gazed spell bound. I was so entranced that I did not answer when my assistant spoke to me. I did not even hear what he said." Prof. Coker said that he was finally arousel from his contemplation of the star by Frank Brown, his assistant, who informed him that the telescope was pointed at the Woman's building and not at the heavens. The new star will be sent to Holly wool for screen tests later on, it was an nounced.

When asked for a statement, Smit modestly declined to accept any prais for himself, but paid glowing tribute t those serving with him en the commit tee. "If it had not been for the assistanc I received from hopper Wellborned, le: Ridge Baskin. Barb Haze, and Lon Brogan, I could never have accomplishe what I did," he said. According to present plans, the studio will be installed in the auntyrooms of th society and programs will be broadcas every other week over an infrequency o 1000 killer cycles. "Attitude" Smith is the chief announcc and president of the station at preseni and his assistants are Gorge Coldmat Tames Miles, and Prof. Drank Word law.

Roe Asserts Cursing Is Vile Practice Assert'ng that his engineering students should not establish a precedent by po luting their trade with profanity, Bean Wateree Roe of the School of Engineer ing threatened expulsion for two stu dents who were alleged to have engaged in that vulgar practice. The Bean un hesitatingly dropped these two boys' names from his roll and immediately no ti fied the I)issipated Committee that he intended to have the culprits permanent ly suspended from the University. Mir. Roe lost iio time in making this action when he was informed of the mis dl(eed by Joe Gzammel, lavatory persistent. The Bean saidl, "The School of Engineer ing is a school for social culture. I am espe'cially anxious for my boys to be miost refined, and I shall not permit them to express their dIisguist even in mild terms to say nothing of engaging in the abominable p)ract ice, profanity. The fact that this incidecnt occuirredl in my school makes ine hang my head in shame and (degradat ion." When contactedI by TIlE INKY BAITER reporter the boys were still astounmdedI at the course things had taken and1( they seenmed very de(sponidenit. Their names are being withheld, hut they main tainedI that while they were guilty, they didl not do it intent ionally. One said -that lie had beeni asked what to do for a hole in a sock andl had replied, "D)arn it." It was these wordls that Joe Ganmmel heard. When in formed of the conditionis Betan Roe said, "t hey should avoid using wordls that can he~ taken ambiguously. even though all of the conditions are not known." When asked of their intentions regardl ing their aippearance before the commit tee the boys were rather undecided; however, they said out of friendship to J ack Chaste they would probably let him spe ak in their behalf. CRA WFORD SAYS "CUT CIGS" "Stop buying cigarettes!" This was the warniing issued yesterdlay by J. A. Crawford, director of physical edutcation at the University, to all ath letes and young people in general. "Cigarettes are costly," saidI Mr. (Craw ford ; "Costly both from the standpoint of money anid from the standpoint of ruiinedl health impaired strength, and hampered facilities. Especially from the standpoint of money." "D)o you know how much cigarettes asked the average smoker every year ?" asked the physical educator, thumbing throuigh volumes of statistics. "They cost the average smoker just about 18 cents a pack, on the average." Mr. Crawford wvent on to say that science has proved that inhaling cigarette smoke makes it necessary for the smoker to exhale the smoke, a very difficult and dangerous procedure. He also cited facts to prove that cigarettes, if smoked regularly, would stain the fingertips of the smoker. "In view of all these terrifying conse 1 L 11 1 1 rJ L Trapeze Above are Carolina students practicing just been installed in the gymnasium. Toi are particularly adept.

THE AL "Wer I ) 7ot L 180 A rage Free Library Gets New Books Invaluable to the students of Carolina will be the new shipment of books just ordered for the Library by the library committee. Included on the list are fine volumes of Egyptian hieroglyphics, which will be of incalculable aid to students in the study of modern language. History students should be interested in two copies, ex tremely valuable, of Ancient Persian Children's stories. These are only a few of the books that have been procured, and are typical of the type that the committee has pur chased. "'he committee should be commended," said President My Kisses, "for the good judgment which they have shown in se curing books which are of such eminent practical value. The library and the school should be that such far-seeing men control the destinies of the institu tion that is the treasurehouse of learning on the campus." It was announced that the committee was seeking additional funds to get mod ern volumes of classics such as "Little Lord Fauntleroy" and "Grimm's Fairy Tales" for the library. Librarians re port that copies of these two books are so popular among the students that copies are hardly bought before they are com pletely worn out, and new ones must be bought to replace them.
