Schwenning of the Uni- j versity's school of commerce 1 faculty spent his summer in a way unusual for a professor. He worked in the factory of the Western Electric Company at Kearny, N. J., the largest pro duction unit of the Bell tele phone system. Out of the information he ob tained he has assembled the material for a course, called Time and Motion Study, which will be on the commerce sche dule in the winter quarter. This will be something quite new in the way of instruction for col lege students. The vice-president of the Western Electric who is in com mand at Kearny was here at Chapel Hill a year or so ago as a guest or tne scnooi oi com merce, and one day he said to Mr. Schwenning: " "We talk about management problems, ' and I do the best I can to tell you about them, but what you really ought to do is to come up to our plant and see the actual work." The professor took him up on the proposal. Correspondence ensued after the visitor went back to New Jersey, and a defi nite appointment was - made.

Here are manufactured switchboards, re ceiving and transmitting , in struments, and all other sorts of telephone equipment. "My work was to observe and study the various manufactur ing processes. I was"" given the freedom of the plant, and I became acquainted not only with superintendents and foremen but with a great many of the men who operated the ma chinery. - For example, I spent several days with a man known as a driller. We talked about his work while he was doing it, and we would time his motions with a stop watch. "The purpose back of all this is to find out the simplest and best way to get a job done, and to adjust compensation to per formance as fairly as possible. We try to work out standard processes, in the several manu facturing departments, that will prevent . waste in effort and time."- - ; , r r .1; First Mr. Schwenning went through the Kearny plant in a general survey, and then he went through the departments one by one for deliberate study.

Professor II. S. Dyer, head of the music department, wishes to urge all students interested in attending the dedication exercis es of the new organ to file ap plications at once, before the end of the present week. It is ab solutely necessary to file appli cations in advance, as all seats will be reserved each night, and no tickets will be obtainable at the door. These blanks for ap plication may be found at the Book Exchange, the Students' Supply Store, the Music building and other places lown town and on the campus. All that is nec essary is the filling out of a blank for each ticket desired, for the purpose , of k. classification only. Professor Dyer reports that so far there have been very few requests for tickets for students, most of the blanks coming from faculty members and citizens of Chapel Hill, with quite a num ber of out-of-town applications, representing over thirty cities throughout North Carolina and Virginia. As the the exercises are being held primarily for students, the music department hopes that there will be more interest shown in obtaining tick ets than there has been hereto fore. The hall will be tilled at every performance, and there will be no extra seats at any one ceremony. It is for the purpose of determining the precise num ber of the audience at each pro gram that these blanks must be turned in this week, and also to avoid too large a crowd at any one performance.
