Store Changes Provide Better, Faster Service Increased store size and self service have added to the conveni ence and efficiency of service to students, Ben Fowler, manager of the Campus Shop, said this week after fall inventory. Mr. Fowler said that the newly initiated self-service procedure is a definite improvement over the old counter sale of books. The self service method enables students to browse at their convenience. Prior to this year all textbook transac tions were made by students' re questing books at the counter. With the new system, sales are faster and fewer clerks are needed. In addition, larger floor space has enabled the store to triple its stock of gifts and clothing sup plies. Mr. Fowler said that the new mobile fixtures can readily be ad justed to accommodate a capacity of 5,000 customers in a day's time. i'he brilliantly lighted Christmas tr< rea4day night when the 800 lightse the supervision of the Putrchasing yant) BLUE KEY MEN ...

Mr. Walker said the amount tc be raised through advertising is considerably large considering that the magazine is new and without an established advertising rating.

"It is the duty of any student who sees a fellow student infring ing on the ideal of honor to warn him of his duty to his school and himself," Bill Weston, Honor Board chairman, said. "If after warning he does not catch the ideal under which we live, he must be reported to the Honor Council." One of the main objectives of the Honor Board and Council this year is to get the faculty to allow the students alone to uphold the Honor System, so long a cherished tra dition by which Carolina students have abided, Mr. Weston said. A committee from Honor Board appeared at the faculty meeting Wednesday to urge their coopera tion. The Honor Emphasis Week com mittee is composed of Bill Doar, chairman; Phil Moody, Timmie Timmions, Sarah Askins, and Law rence Curry.

No Papers; Maybe No Christmas Amin Dahir, a University for eign student, said that he will not be able to go home this Christmas unless someone re turns his immigration papers. lHe said he lost his papers and some letters recently wvhen he laid a spiral - notebook down containing them in the infir mary. When he came back for the notebook it was gone. Mr. Dahir said he wvired home to Jerusalem to see if it would be possible to get another set of immigration papers in time for him to go home for the Christmas holidays. The mes sage he received in return said that it would be impossible to get papers to him on such short notice. Mr. D)ahir also said that if he doesn't get the papers before January that he will be unable to renew his visa to this coun try. Hie said that if he can't do this he wvill be shipped home. The notebook that the papers were in had History 132 notes in it. This is another problem in that the course doesn't have a text, and therefore he can only study from notes for the final examination. Mr. Dahir resides in Tene ment 21 and asks for all pos sible help in recovering the book and papers. Law School Speaker Mr. Calhoun A.

Mr. Clark said the committee was told by Columbia city manager Thomas Maxwell that if a feasible plan for diverting the traffic nor mally handled by Green Street was offered the eit.v goverlnment would he glad to cooperate with the University in solving the problem. Others Contacted The committee reported similar receptions after talking to officials of the State Highway Department and the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, which presently operates a city bus routed on Green Street. Among the plans under con sideration, according to Mr. Clark are the closing off of Green Street to through traffic during the hours of the day when it is most used by University students. Another proposal calls for clos ing off the street entirely if traf fic can be diverted to Blossom and 'endleton Streets without too much strain on these two traffic arteries, and without too much expense to the city and state for the conver sion process. Overpass Suggested Another plan provides for the construction of an overpass across Green Street permitting students to cross from the Old Campus to Russell House while the normal Green Street traffic load uses the underpass. Mr. Clark said he expected the committee to formulate a plan to submit to the proper officials some time before the Christmas holidays. Serving on the student council committee besides President Clark and Chairman Cain are Virgil Duffy, Al- Perry and Caroline Robinson.
