I 'he Strangers' Friend The person who . mailed an open forum letter to the DAILY Tar Heel, signed "The Strang- ers' Friend," is asked to make ifnnwn to the editor before his contribution will be published. SCENE FROM Shown above is a scene from opera of DeKoven,. which will be in Memorial hall at 8:30 o'clock company. Commerce School Includes Theoretical And Practical Economic and Commerce Courses Are Distinct Units, States Dean Carroll; Economics Deals With Theory and General Trends; Commerce Courses Are Intensely Matter-of-Fact. -o- (Editor's Note: The Daily Tar ' worth-while in themselves. The Heel continues today its series of de partmental surveys with the inten tion of presenting student opinion on courses listed in the University cata logue, as a guide to students about to register for the spring quarter. Opinions offered in this series are not necessarily those of The Daily Tar Heel.) The purpose of the depart ment of economics and com merce as was indicated last year by Dean D. D. Carroll is as fol lows: "The two divisions of sub ject matter dealt with in the de partment are economics and i i commerce, in tne nrsi, our eco nomic structure, its functions, relationships, and problems are considered from the social point of view. In the second, the or ganization and administration of current business activity are studied from the standpoint of the business administrator." Dean Carroll also called atten tion to the fact that the depart ment is a distinct unit from the commerce school and offers courses open: to all University students. Economics Called Theoretical yrhe most oft-repeated criti cism given by students seems to be that University courses in economics and commerce, are argely theoretical and even 'impractical." However, as is bo be expected, thi is only the case in tne more eiemeuwiiy courses. Economics 31-32, for example, is a course which intro duces the student to the entire field of economics, and in the shnrt time of two quarters it cannot afford to dwell specifical lv on anv single phase of the v subject. Every effort has been made to obtain representative opinions of the following courses, and it is believed that they show accu rate criticisms which are com posite pictures of the reactions of several students to the courses. Most of the studentsfteralities superficially covered asked to give opinions have ma jored in economics or commerce and consequently are better able to judge than the average un dererraduate whose study m these fields has been little more than elementary. Economics 11. Generally con sidered to be one of the best courses in the University. Of fers a comprehensive survey of the interrelations of various countries as to their economic resources, and stands on middle ground between geography and economics. Dr. Zimmerman and his lectures are excellent, the latter containing digressions COMIC OPERA r "Robinhood," the famous comic played here tomorrow evening by the Boston Light Opera course is a genuine aid to intelli gent reading of newspapers, and its one criticism is that it is per haps too mature for freshmen. - Economics 31-32. Often dry, too concise, attempting in two quarters to expound the whole of economic theory. The text, Ely, Outlines of Economics, is competent and complete, too j complete. Suggested improve ment: Omission of some of the niceties of economic theory and a concentration on the funda mentals. However,- the course should not be passed up because of this. Preferable professors: Winslow and Heath; Wolf and Wager, who attempt to "explain things." Economics 35. This takes in economic history from the Stone Age to Wall Street. Special emphasis on the Industrial Revo lution. Professor Spruill knows his subject thoroughly but is dry in delivery. Ho-hum. Economics 71. Statistics un der Ferger. Too difficult for any but those who wish to specialize in the field. Usual criticism: introductory course, therefore too much covered. Economics 81-82. Money and Bankincr. the latter giving a commendable practical know! edge of the Federal Reserve, branch banking, and other forms. "Er" Woosley will start on the Federal Reserve, but probably end up on the Sino Japanese war. Both he and Dr. Murchison, a nation-wide au thority in the field, are good. The course is coherent and well organized. Economics 111. Advanced Commodity Economics, offering detailed price analysis of types of economic goods. Dr. Zimmer man makes it a worth-while course. Economics 121. Risk and Risk-Bearing under Lear. Gen- with main attention to stock market operations. Just an other economics course. Economics 124. Principles of 'Marketing, which every intelli gent student should avoid. The method of instruction does not cover the essential problems of distribution. Dr. Taylor bothers too much with insignificant de tails. Economics 141. Public Fi nance under Dr. Heer. Dry, un inspired and uninspiring, but good background , for political scientists, including statistical exercises. For the indifferent. ( Continued on last page) Registration Report Changed Yesterday A change in registration sche dule of juniors and seniors was announced yesterday by Dean A. W. Hobbs.

LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS KREISLER Famous Violinist Again Pleases With Brilliant Presentation Of Program Here. Governor and Mrs. Ehring- haus led the group of hundreds oi out-oi-TOwners wno came xo Chapel Hill to join with the stu dent body to hear Fritz Kreisler in Memorial hall Monday night. Duke, Meredith, Saint Mary's, the Woman's College of the Ual- versity, and other schools were well represented in the audience. Altogether, the hall was filled to capacity with an appreciative crowd of music lovers.. Kreisler and his assisting pi- anist, Carl Lamson, have played together tor many years and 1 11 " J - T ? i I nave moiaea zneir worK into a smoom iunctioning uni Beethoven Composition Opens The program began with the Beethoven Kreutzer Sonata, a favorite opening number with these artists. The Mozart G Ma- jor Concerto was second. Grace- f ul, delicate, precise, these works offered all possible contrasts for which one could wish. After a brief intermission, the program was resumed with Ra vel's Piece en forme de Haban era, always enjoyable. Then there was the lovely Girl with Flaxen Hair, Gorgeous tone marked the playing of this num ber. Kreisler's transcriptions of De Falla's Spanish Danse and Albenix's Tango followed in or der, to give further delight. Plays Own Creations Kreisler next played his im- mortal Caprice Viennois, and with the last note the applause shookthe walls. The number was repeated. The violinist's Liebesfreud was the last pro- grammed number, and drew an- other ovation, as did three en- cores : Kreisler's transcription of Londonderry Air, and his own compositions, The Old Refrain and Shon Rosmarin. Still there was thunderous applause, and probably the dawn of a new day would have found Kreisler still playing these popular encores if the audience could have had its way SPECIAL UNION SESSION CALLED FOR TOMORROW A call meeting of the Union Forum for tomorrow night at 7:00 o'clock in Graham Me- morial was announced yesterday by President Haywood Weeks, Important business will be taken up at the meeting, according to Weeks. Alumni Director Elected Mrs. V. B. Breckenndge of Sweet Briar school was elected director of division three of the American Alumni Council to j succeed J. Maryon Saunders, Uni versity alumni secretary, at the annual conference in Dur ham Saturday. No site for next year's convention was selected. RECOMMENDATION FOR UNIVERSITY'S GRANTMCREASED Committee Raises Budget Figure Set for Institution's Appro priations by $36,009. The joint committee on ap propriations voted fifteen fourteen yesterday in favor of increasing the University's ap propriation as recommended by the advisory budget commission by $36,000, according to a report to President Frank Graham last night from inside the appropria tion committee. The economy bloc in the com mittee put on a hard drive to hold to the budget bureau's fig ures of $390,520. The fight will now be carried to the floors of Dranches 0f the state legis lature. ' This increase of $36,000 will raise the University's appropria tion from $390,520 to $426,520. The committee also voted to in- L the appropriations of Wo man's College and N. C. State College $18,000 each. No Comment From Grahasi President Graham when ask ed about his feelings regarding this latest development last no statement to night, had make. urUr ffi.iio nnVmAllr -Vaj fAr fiQi onn annually for proper maintenance of the insti- tution during the coming biea- nium.v The amount allotted for this year will be $504,000; and should the general assembly pass the recommendation of the ap- propriations committee in its present form, it will mean a re- duction of S78.000. i SONG COMMITTEE PLANS TO PUBLISH UNI VERSITY ARIAS Old Carolina Tunes Will Be Pro- pared in Lieu of Long-Delayed New Battle Song.
