Thursday, November, 1926 , THE SCHOOL OF COMMERCE ' f As announced in the last is sue the Tar Heel is carrying a series of articles and edito rials to introduce . the nine schools and one college arid at the same time trying to pick out the foibles and . virtues of each one. A feature story about one of ' the ten divisions and an editorial concerning it . will be run each week until 4the series is ended. The survey v of the School of Commerce appeared , in the last issue. , i , The School of Commerce has enjoyed a phenomenal grdwth since its establishment here in 1919. Endowed with the per- tspicacious aDiiuy oi its aean, the school has taken ranks with l,n T il, 1 ' A 4.' I. 1 I -A l ' T i ' i. wnitii nas ueen a vuai part oi the University ince its begin ning. In equipment and teach ing facilities the school easily stands out as the best in the South and ranks well with the best in the country.-, The school is almost unique in that it 'com bines a business training with a cultural educations Many stu dents of the University who are not in the School of Commerce have the impression that com merce arid economics , are"' the only subjects offered in Cean uarrous scnooi. Adding ma chines are believed . to be the greater parts of the equipment. Few students have made he in vestigation to find that;26 of the required subjects are" accre'd,i ed A. B. courses if that means anything. English ! Such a course is sometimes though't;4d be almost entirely obsolete in the commerce school, while, 'Jri realitjr, four, course are,, requir ed beginning next"year and in the College of Liberal Arts only three courses ,n English are required. Dean Carroll has shown that he believes ihai four; courses in one modern language are sufficient for the average student. Courses in English, mathe matics, history, geology, com merce economics, , psychology, government, and any of the modern languages and sciences make students in the School of Commerce broader and . more cultural than many of the A. B. students are, under' the' system of majors and electives. . Beginning next year Dean Carroll will require a student to pass 37 courses before he will present his name to re ceive 'x diploma at commence ment. Time will tell whether he will be able to cnf orcethis new rule. In the past the dean has . crowded several extra courses on his protogees and a- bout 25 percent of those who graduated had between 38 and 40 courses. Dean Carroll has insisted that the : commercial facultymen give the students a plenty to. do and they have not failed to do it. Industry is prime requisite. The 12 divisions of the school are plannedabout as well as can be with the limited number of courses offered by the Univer sity which are designed for-the divers divisions. " The courses of one division are almost; iden tical with those of another di vision. It is rather peculiar that the catalogue has the two courses in Business Lawlisted in every division except the divi sions entitled "Business Law" and "Combined Courses in Com merce and Law.":: All kinds of hypotheses, the ories, and laws are crammed down the throats of students by professors who believe it is ' as necessary to know that a cer tain theory will not . .work in practice as well as to know that that a law is practicable. As signments consisting of a hun dred pages or more are oftimes handed out and tljie student la- Dors lor nours on some econom ic theories that the professor frankly says will not work in practice. Students in the School of Commerce like those of the other schools complain that cer tain courses are required which appear absolutely worthless The course a, student is to, take is outlined from the time he enters until he has completed his work, and therefore does not have the opportunity or privilege of se lecting courses which he deems rbest. Modern economic condi tions have almost antiquated the subject matter of some of the required courses. 'The the ories of .Business Cycles have received severe jolts during the past few years, and it looks now as if the whole course will have to be altered or wholly changed Several other courses are in the same predicament. - One of the sore spots of the School of Commerce is the li brary." While housing a fair ly . large collection . of N books, there arevery few which can be takenout except from p 10:30 o'clock at night till 9 :30 the next morning. This rule applies to graduate students as well as to all others connected with the school. The main library lets the reserve books out at 5 :30 o'clock on Saturday afternoons, but the Commerce Library gives tfhis fact no attention at all when dances are held in the Gymna sium, which is only " about ; 25 yards from the Commerce Li brary, studying in Saunders Hall is well nigh impossible. , ine scnooi oi uommerce is not trying'to turn put men who expect to be financial wizards or step into the executives' chairs immediately after leav ing the University. Dean Car roll has ' arranged the curricu lum so that the students neither get a suicidal smattering nor suicidal specialization. He has devised ways and means of in suring both the advantages' of broad cultural background and the advantages of intensive specialization later. ' COMER IS BACK FROM ATTENDING CHICAGO MEETING Harry F. Comer returned Monday from the annual meet ing of the National Council ; of the Y. M.: C.'A., held in Chica go October 23-29, which he at tended as one of the nine, dele gates of the 12,000 Y. M. C. A members in ' North Carolina This annual Council is the leg islative body of the entire M. C. A. organization, and pass e annually on all rules and reg. ulations governing the Nation al and Inter-national, State and Student Departments of the or- ganization. Three hundred and sixty delegates attended the meeting, elected from electoral districts in respect to' member- ship. The most important business of the Council was the question concerning the control of the Student - Department by the State Department, under which organization the Student Branc has been greatly restricted. The Student Y. M. C. A.'s in the South threatened to withdraw from the National Organiza tion and from under the contm of the State Department if they Were not given more freedom in their programs, arid as a result of the protest of the Student branches the proposal brough the National Council to restric and limit the Student Depart ment 'Was rejected by a large majority on its first reading, This marks the first step' of the Student "Branch in its fight f or an organization of the College Y. M. C; A.'s separate from. the State Department. The1 Stu dent -Department in the South desires to have a Regional Or ganization in which the College groups will be brought " into closer contact. A general declaration regard ing ireedom m religious and academic circles was passed by the Council. TAR BABIES PLAY WOLF CUBS NEXT Clash to Occur in Raleigh Saturday Afternoon Methodist Student Stewards to Raise $700 7 At the recent meeting of the Methodist Sunday School the student budget of $700 and the plans for raising this amount were discussed. A committee was elected to nominate the of ficers of the student board of stewards who will handle the subscriptions for the needs of the church. The board of twen ty ptudents was elected recently at the quarterly Methodist con ference. The capacity of this board is stated in- the budget which reads: "To, follow the example of the local congregation by pro Viding for the budget through individual subscriptions paid in monthly installments to the Stu dent Board of Stewards." The needs are : general budget $250 furnishings m student rooms $200; and social organizations $250 ' .' ."

This contest will have a direct bearing on the freshman State football championship, hence the unusual enthusiasm. Last year the powerful Tar Baby-eleven, defeated the Wolf Cubs at Raleigh by thq score , of 22 to 6 in a game marked by lib eral fumbling on the part of the State College aggregation. This year the Wolflts boast, their strongest team m yeais and they are all prepared to avenge the defeat received by their var sity brothers in the StaterCaro lina classic five days ago, and at the same time to get even for the Tar Babies win last sea son. : , ... . -.

A reviewer of the work says, "The next statue in the Hall of Fame to be taken down and dust ed is that of Benjamin Frank-1 lin who comes to us rejuvenated by Phillips Russell." The book tells many tales of the Ameri can patriot which are not in the official biographies. . ; In writing the fascinating bi ography the author compared Franklin's own autobiography with the old letters which are preserved in Philadelphia and documents in France and Eng land. By this method he has added many new lights in con nection with the human factor of Franklin's life.. Some enter taining features ' of , the! book tells of the friendship between Franklin , and Frenchwomen when he was ambassador at the courts of Louis the 16th...

In explaining why he calls Franklin the "first civilized American", Mr. Russell says: "In a period emminent for nar rowness, superstition, and bleak beliefs, he was mirthful, gen erous, open minded, loving, tol erant, and humor-loving."

This seems fanciful but nevertheless it is true. Newspapers and magazines continually deplore the in- creasingly over-crowded condition of these sidewalks, due to the ever-increasing height of buildings. If it were not for the developments in the elevator industry made by the Otis Elevator Company as a pioneer, it would not have been pos sible to erect buildings of the" stupendous heights which are now in vogue. It is ' the high speed Gearless Elevator, now culminating in the 8oo ft. speed auto- ' made signal control elevator, which has made the fiftieth floor almost as avail able in point of time as the twentieth floor, and that has, thcrcford, made it feasible to pile office On office high into the air.'
