Clarios Adopl New Official Key For Use Of All Members An official key to be worn by al Clariosophic members was formallb adopted Tuesday night at a regulai meeting of the Clariosophic literar3 society. It is not a new design but is the old design which heretofore has beer used upon keys made to order by the members. Formerly it was left tc the discretion of individual member, as to the size of 0he key. Under the n'ew setup, however, the keys are tc be standardized, thereby increasing their uniformity and decreasng th< cost, Clariosophic members said. Each member when he joins th< society is entitled to wear the key which he may or may not purchas< as he sees fit, it was decided. "The key is to be recognized uni versally as the official insignia of the Clarosophic and therefore Alumni members may procure them,", Presi dent Pitkin Bell pointed out. The original purpose of keys, it was disclosed, was to wind watches But since watches no longer are wound in that manner, keys have n< utilitarian value except as an insig nia of an organization.

Branscombe, who recently completed a survey of reading trends among students, students have cultivated a desire for literature, travel, and fic tion while they lost interest in philos ophy, biography and fine arts since the outbreak of the war. These results were obtained by comparing the type of books taken out during October of 1941 with the type taken out during October 1942. According to the survey the total number read greatly increased from 1,730 to 2,204. The number of books taken out on science, useful arts, and general works remained almost constant, while only about half as many religious books were read. For the information of those stu dents who have been carrying their heavy coats and jackets with them through the library, there is a cloak room immediately to the right of the library's main entrance. This room is large, spacious, and may be used free of charge. Professor L. Branscombe was placed in charge of the library at the first of this year, replacing Dr. R. H-. Wienefeld, University history profes sor, who was acting director. Carolina Students Get X-ray TB Test Carolina students had X-ray pho tographs made of their chests during this week.

Already Sims' fair inmates mus fork over two cents for each bottl removed from their canteen.
