Alumni Secret Association Sh Over Last Yea The number of contributi Carolina Alumni Association recorded on the same date 1 tive secretary of the associal On March 10, 1,106 membe tributions, Lewis said, compi .the same date last year. The current drive for 2,000 members by June 30, the end of the fiscal year, is lagging some what, Lewis pointed out. "It will take 517 new m6mbers to break the record enrollment set in 1944-1945 of 1,682," Lewis said. "We'll have to generate more steam than we've got now to beat that." On January 1 the association had enrolled 1,008 members and seemed well on the way to ring ing up a new record, but since that time, subscriptiogs have been coming in at a much slower rate. Members of the association re ceive copies of the Alumni News, bi-monthly magazine containing University and alumni news, in addition to their other member ship privileges. The Alumni office is now com pleting work on the next issue of The Alumni News. The last issue, released last week, carried a story of the life and work at the university of Dr. Patterson Wardlaw, dean emeri tus of the university school of education who died last month. His last written message for pub lication was contained on the back of the. previous issue. Periodical Att Use Of Room J By WILLIAM CORDER Counting noses to see how many people use the periodical room in McKissick Library is gne of the daily duties of the library attend ants. By this means of spot check ing, it was shown that 3,727 per sons used the room in February. Mrs. Maud C. Gittman, Mrs. C. D. DesChamps, and Mary Julia Campbell are the three regular periodical room attendants, and Wade Doares is student assistant. These are the people who find magazines for students, put cer tain issues on reserve for faculty members, compile statistics, ex change magazines with other li braries, prepare vohames for the bindery, and make themselves useful in many other ways. In January, Miss Campbell said, the periodical room was subscrib ing to 406 magazines and news papers. Others have been sub scribed to since then. These maga zines are contracted for through an agency-Hanson and Bennett, .Chicago. Scores of magazines kept in the science reference room are not included in this total, "Magazines which just 'walk off' are our biggest headaches," Miss Campbell said.'

No applications for degrees will be received by the office after April 1, with the exception of graduate students, and no refunds on applications entered will be made after this date. All seniors graduating in June are invited to register with the Bureau of Placements, which has recently been contacted by repre sentatives from several large, nationally known companies who wish to employ graduates. ndant Reports For February them is a major problem. Some of them we replace through ex changes with other libraries through the Duplicate Exchange Union. Sometimes we have to buy them from the publisher, but this is an expensive precedure." "Life magazine is by all odds the most popular magazine on our list. After Life comes Time, Fashion, Holiday, and Reader's Di gest, with homemaking magazines of various sorts becoming more popular all the time. These most wanted magazines we keep in the office, letting them out when they are called for," she said. Eleven newspapers are carried by the library. Three of these are foreign publications-one French, one from London, and one from South America. Besides these, "bushels of propaganda sheets and pamphlets and magazines come in every month," she said. During February, 159 volumes 1 of magazines were sent to the 1 bindery and 87 complete bound volumes were returned. The fact that the magazines cannot be bound in permanent form unless I all the issues for the year are to- f gether is the reason why such g emphasis is placed on keeping thea magazines from circulating out of the periodical room. 'The exchange business works like this: Libraries all over America periodically publish lists of magazines they do not need, J usually because they have more than one copy. These lists are cir-I culated to all the members of the Duplicate Exchange Union of the Association of Colleges and Ref- 0 erence Libraries. The libraries ti compare lists and swap unneeded ci issues for those needed to com-n plete their files. .The importance of this pro cedure is apparent when it is g shown that the McKissick Library 9 eeceived 311 exchanges in Febru- ce iry. b College Barber Shep %i Block from Campus Side Entrance University Grill SPECIALS )N SLACKS $4.95 %T'S .50e IRTS $1.95 and Army Clothing PLUS SALES M' STREET e-a I~ X.
