University requires seniors in
the college of liberal arts and
the. commerce school to pass to
the satisfaction of the head of
the department a comprehensive
-examination in their field of ma
jor study during their senior
year. However, a student must
have completed five courses in
his chosen department before he
is eligible to take the examina
tion. They are given four times
a year, once during each quar
ter of the regular term and once
during the summer session. A
student is given three oppor
tunities to pass and if he fails
to pass in all of these trials, his
degree is withheld.
The heads of the respective
departments prepare the ques

Hundred Dollar to Emer

Feature Board Meeting
There will be a short but im

board this morning at 11 :30
o'clock in the offices of the pub
lication.
Jisaku Fukusato, the Univer-
sity's only Japanese student, was
forced to leave Chapel Hill Wed
nesday for Tokyo, Japan, on the
action of the federal immigra
tion authorities. Fukusato, it
was stated yesterday, failed to
comply with regulations of the
Immigration Bureau concerning
non-quota immigrants engaged
in educational work in this coun
try.
His departure came as a re
sult of a decision of the authori
ties reached after a hearing be
fore a district representative.
Under the immigration law,
such a student must carry sat-'
isfactQrily a certain amount of
course work, in the University
graduate school ten hours of
semester work per Quarter.
Fukusato's lack of knowledge of
the English language made it
impossible for him to fulfill the '
requirements.
Japanese Graduate
Fukusato was a graduate of
Waseda University in Tokyo in
1915 and has been a student
here since September, 1931. He
has been engaged in special stu
dy in economics and literature.
It is understood that he has pub
lished in Japan several short
stories or articles.
His admittance to the Univer
sity came as a' result of corre
spondence in 1916 with Dr. Ra-

Cigarette Price Reduction Aims
To Run Cheaper Brands Off Market
O '
Announcement of Reduced Cost of Popular Smokes Brings Many
New Customers Into Chain Store; Increases Demand for
Penny Boxes of Matches and Free Paper Folders.
: o-
In an effort to run cheaper
cigarettes off the market, manu
facturers of many brands of pop
ular cigarettes have made it pos
sible for chain stores through
out the country to sell the usual
fifteen-cent pack for ten cents.
At 4:00 p. m. last Saturday,
this reduction became effective!
in Chapel Hill. It has continued
up to the present time, and will
be, to the knowledge of the local
chain - store manager, effective
until the cheaper brands of cig
arettes are forced out of com
petition. Large Sales Increase
In the chain store sales on cig
arettes were highest Monday,
when the cash register recorded
1150 separate sales. This was
an increase of approximately
300 persons over the average
number of shoppers to enter the
store on a Monday.
Tuesday, the number de
creased slightly, falling to 1025.
Of course, all who entered the
store did not buy cigarettes, but
the decrease of one hundred may
well be attributed to the de
creased number of purchasers of
foods. Monday is nearly always
a larger day for store-keepers
than Tuesday, because over Sun
day provisions in the ice box
and pantry run low.
The following day the total
number of purchasers again
showed a decrease, this time to
950. In all, three hundred dol
lars' worth of; cigarettes were
sold in the thirty-six hours from
Monday morning until the time
these figures were obtained.
Match Problem Acute
With cigarettes bought in the
chain t stores the purchaser re
ceives no complimentary folder
of paper matches, as he obtains
customarily at news stands and
drug stores. Accordinjrfy, a
large demand for boxed matches
accompanied the increased sales.
So large was it that the chain
store in question was completely
sold out by the end of the third
day. -, .
.at I I 1

the match question which
threatens to rank with Tech
nocracy and staff election of edi

A completely sold house is in
dicated by the sale of tickets for
the recital to be given by Fritz
Kreisler, world renowned Aus
trian violinist, here Monday eve
ning, February 27, in Memorial
hall at 8:30 o'clock. The Phi
Mu Alpha musical fraternity is
sponsoring the appearance at the
University of this popular violinist-composer,

Kreisler is recognized as the
outstanding musical genius of
the violin of the entire world and
receives enthusiastic praise
wherever he performs. He ha3
toured the entire world since the
beginning of his concert career
as a child prodigy in Vienna at
the age of seven. He entered
the Vienna Conservatory of mu
sic at that time and continued his
nusical education at Paris where
he was awarded the Grand Prix
de Rome in competition with
forty other violinists. At the
completion of his study he
toured America and has been
forced to return here almost ev
ery year since by popular de
mand. Kreisler is not only a great
performer but is also a compos
er of note. He will present sev
eral of his popular compositions
on his concert here. Among these
are the familiar Caprice Vien
nois and Tambourine Chinois.
