ECONOMIC CRISES
E. S. Fraley, Communist Speak
er, Describes Situation Exist
ing in Industrial Districts.
Last Friday night the John
Reed club dicussion was led by
E. S. Fraley. He read at length
the MMS of an article by Bruce
Crawford who declares that
there is almost: unparalleled
misery and oppression existing
in Harlan, Kentucky, that there
are unwarranted beatings and
killings, and that workers; are
imprisoned on slight pretexts by
the Harlan county court.which
is being used, not as an instru
ment of justice, but as part of
the mineJowners system of con
trol of the workers. The article
emphasized that these workers
are Americans whose ancestry
date back to the time of Wash
ington and the Revolution.
While gathering facts for his
article Crawford was attacked
in ambush being shot in the leg.
Fraley, who attended the Drei
ser committee meeting during
its investigations, was with
Crawford at the time and nar -
rowly escaped being shot him
self. '
Fraley insisted that the situ
ation in Harlan is not local, but
a repetition in a more intense
form, of the situation in Law
rence, Gastonia, Paterson, etc.,
"and that the important thing
is that when the struggle reaches
the stage of bitterness and re
volt that it has reached in HaV
lan, all pretense at law and
equity and democracy are
thrown aside by the local courts ;
and the judges, sheriffs and
commonwealth attorneys come
out frankly with the industrial
ists." The discussion then passed to
the more general, topic of com
munism. Fraley compared the
present attitude toward com
munism to that of a sick man
wanting to kill his doctor, when
the doctor, diagnosing his case,
tells the sick man that he has
a cancer which must be cut out
if he is to live. "Society is sick
with a cancer, and that cancer
is capitalism, which, if society is
to live, must be removed."
He went on to say, "at pres
ent the individual is so con
cerned with settling his eco
nomic problem that he has no
opportunity to engage in cul
tural development, but spends
all his time in getting his bread
and butter. In a communist so
ciety the economic problem is
made incidental, as it should be,
with our super-machines and our
highly technicalized industry."
The club will sponsor other
speakers from time to time.
Bruce Crawford of Crawford's
Weekly and the Dreiser commit
tee will come to Chapel Hill in
January. Early in February,
Marcus Graham, editor of An
Anthology of Revolutionary Poe
try will speak to the organiza
tion. . ;
The University John Reed
club is taking an academic at
titude toward the subject of
communism. The club has em
barked on aprogram of accumu
lating factual information con
cerning the political and eco
nomic conditions pf today, about
the successful revolution and es
tablishment of the Soviet Union
and about the Communist move
ment in the United States and
in other countries. The mem
bers of the club' deem these sub
. jects fraught with meaning and
interest and of the utmost im
portance to a clear understand
ing of present day tendencies.'

Professor Bynum Is
Seriously 111 As Result
Of Sudden Relapse
Professor Jefferson Bynum,
of the geology department, who
had partially recovered from a
serious attack of pneumonia,
had a severe relapse last Thurs
day when complications in the
form of an abscess of the lung
set in. As soon as his condi
tion was found to be serious
Bynum was rushed , to Watts
hospital in Durham where he is
at present. ' .
The doctors in the hospital
hope that Bynum's condition
improves sufficiently not to re
quire an operation but if it stays
the same an operation appears
imminent. .
Measures are being taken to
drain Professor Bynum' s system
of , the infection that is being
spread by the abscessed lung.
However if this treatment
proves unsuccessful, other mea
sures, most likely in the form of
an operation to remove the ab
scess, will have to be taken.

TAR HEEL
Three-Fold Aim Of
Math Department Is
Defined By Lasley
(Continued, from, first page)
mathematics to the severity of
college math. For freshman
courses, the instruction- is gen
erally the best in the University.
New text books makes course
slightly more difficult, though
prejudice in this respect is a
"defeatist" attitude, merely be
cause the construction of the
text is in temporary form.
Both courses of inestimable
value upon application.
Mathematics 1E-2E
Courses in elementary trig
onometry for engineering stu
dents which cover less; ground
than Mathematics 1-2, but which
is covered more thoroughly with
practical backgrounds. x'
Mathematics 13
A very fundamental course
in analytic geometry which is
practical under Browne and
Mackie. It should not be at
tempted by lazy students
Mathematics 24-25
Any student interested in
higher mathematics should take
these courses in differential and
integral calculus, since advanced
courses continually refer to
them. Parker is dry; other in
structors are worthwhile.'
Mathematics 57
Anadvanced course in alge
bra especially for students in
tending to teach, well presented
by Windsor.
Mathematics 121
, Theoretical mechanics is very
practically taught by Dr. Hobbs.
Mathematics 131
Dr. Linker's course in the
theory of equations provides an
excellent background and a fine
rounded idea of algebra.
Mathematics 141
A splendid course in, differen
tial equations, well taught by
Dr. lrowne. It has little prac
tical application, and is far
from a "snap."
Mathematics 150
Synthetic projective geometry
well taught by Dr. Lasley, an
authority on the subject.
Mathematics 161
A good course inx analytic
! geometry of space taught by Dr.
Henderson.
Mathematics 171
A most difficult and very very
theoretical course in advanced
calculus well presented by Dr.
Mackie.
- Journalism
The department of journal
ism, one of the smallest divisions
of the liberal arts college, has
functioned under the head of a
sole instructor ever since its
founding. Oscar J. Coffin, its
present head, was called to this
capacity from executive profes
sional work, and before him it
was held by Phillips Russell,
Louis. Graves, now publisher of
the Chapel Hill Weekly, and
Gerald Johnson.
The seven courses offered by
hthe department have never been
primarily designed for the prac
tical instruction of aspiring col
lege newspapermen in the sense
of the functions of the great
schools of journalism at the Uni
versity, of Missouri and Colum
bia university, but rather to ac
quaint the undergraduate .with
a preparatory insight into what
his duties shall be when he en
ters the professional field.
Under its present administra
tion, the department has ap
proached the extreme irjf this at
titude. The instructor, al
though its head and sole sustain
ing influence, seems opposed to
the school or department of
journalism in theofy, believing
that little experience can be gain
ed in the classroom. 7
Below is student opinion on
the seven courses:
Journalism 30-31- '
Credits in college reporting
and college news editing given
formerly for work on the Daily
Tar Heel, will probably be dis
continued in the next catalogue.
Journalism 53
Primarily for those who have
had little practical experience
in writing a news story. One of
the better crips, in the depart
ment. "
Journalism 54
Designed as a continuation of
Journalism 53 with the addition
of some copy reading. Benefi
cial for the aspiring profes
sional journalist. ' . .
Journalism 55
More ' news writing, but
chiefly on assignment. No em
phasis oh head writing, con
trary to statement of catalogue.
Journalism 56ab

writing with a view of making
features marketable. Recom
mended to aspiring literary men,
whether or not they are taking
other courses in the department.
Journalism 57
State newspapers, their con
tent and make-up, intensively
studied. Desk work empha
sized; indespensable to the ris
ing professional, though instruc
tion in head writing is below
standard.
Journalism 58 -
The wide newspaper back
ground of the instructor makes
this course one of the most de
sirable in the department. In
volves a comparative examina
tion of policies and relations in
editorial writing. Another good
one for young writers.
Journalism 59
Training forediting the coun
try weekly, especially in meeting
the problems of the neighbor
hood news medium. Leading
weeklies studied and compared.
Excellent introduction to one of
the most popular divisions of
the newspaper field.
Miniature Oil Fields
The University of Texas not
only owns oil fields in West
Texas but also has a perfect imi
tation of a field of liquid gold in
its engineering building. This
imitation, complete in every de
tail, was constructed at a cost of
one million dollars.
