Page Four JOHN REED CLUB HEARS CASES 0 IF 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. Goodridge Returns From Union Parley Noah Goodridge, manager of Graham Memorial, returned last night from Ann Arbor, Michi gan, where he attended the twelfth annual convention of the Association of Colleges and Uni versity Unions, which took place at the University of Michigan Union, December 3, 4, and 5.

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.

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.
