Group Founded in 1929 by Dr. K. C. Frazer of University History Department. The International Relations club is one method by which Carolina seeks to deny the pre valent charge to the effect that American students are disinter ested in world affairs and prob lems. In its four years of exist ence on the campus the organi zation has brought a number of prominent speakers to Chapel Hill, most notable of whom was Dr. Carlos Davilla, ex-president of Chile, who delivered a series of three lectures here last De cember. Founded in 1929 by Dr. K. C. Frazer, professor of history, and a group of upperclassmen with more than a passing re gard for the intricate relation ships between the nations of the world, the International Rela tions club has consistently en deavored to place before the student body discussions on top ics which it believes are the concern of intelligent people. More Subjects Until the present year, the club has confined itself to only diplomatic relations between na tions. Under a system inaugu rated this year, subjects for dis cussion will include matters of domestic and interest of not on ly this country but of other na tions as well. Special attention will be granted domestic affairs with international significance. One of the most important factors in the rise of the group has been the patronage of the Carnegie foundation. Through the aid of this educational insti tution, Dr. Davilla, Sir Herbert Ames, and other notables have been' brought to the Vniversity (Continued on page two) several days prior to taking the examination. According to an unofficial survey made yesterday, there will be few students qualified to take comprehensives this quar ter, but pupils in doubt as to their qualifications for taking the test should confer with their department head. Comprehensive, examinations will be given November 25 in the following rooms : chemistry, 202 Venable hall; Greek and Latin, 105 Murphey hall; eco nomics, 113 Bingham hall; Eng lish, 201 Murphey hall; history, 302 Saunders hall, journalism, 213 Alumni building ; mathemat ics, 360 Phillips hall; music, choral room in the music build ing; philosophy, 212 Alumni building; psychology, 207 New East; romance language, 314 Murphey; rural social econom ics, 106 Library building;" soci ology, 109 Alumni building; zo ology, lecture room, Davie hall.
