(EDITOR' NOTE: The Daily Tar Heel concludes today its x series of departmental siarveyar, with the intention of presenting student opinion on courses offered in the liberal arts college, as a guide to students about to register for' the ' winter quarter. Opinions offered in this series are not necessarily those of The Daily1 Tar Heel.) ' This, the eighth and final sur vey of courses in the curriculum of the liberal arts college, covers the six different "science depart ments in the University, botany, geology,'' physics,' psychology, ahdlzodlogy.' : "" ' ' ' " : : Many courses in these depart- meilts have small undergraduate enrollment outside oi tne re quired sophomore courses. Thus, many of the higher courses are necessarily small and can hot be covered in this survey. - . BOTANT DEPARTMENT "The main objective of the botany department," according to Dr. W. C. Coker, "is, of course, to teach botany. Botany" is a f undamental science ' in biology and as an introduction to a the sciences of. life it is the best adapted. Fundamental activi ties of living creatures" are most easily realized and demonstrat ed in-plants and a study of plants isthe best approach to the prob lems of, medicine and" pharmacy. As a cultural subject it leads to a clear understanding of many of; the problems of social life today as agriculture, horticul ture, plant teeding, sanitary engineering arid hygiene. "The beginning classes in bot any "are rallf taught by prof essors who keep' 'in" mind the cultural as well as the prof essional needs of the students. Tjhe - higher classes are all . taught by' a method that we might call in a ,way a personal report method the individual student coming in personal daily contact 'With his; professor and making- frequent reports.

Hobbs of the rural-social economics department spoke at assembly yesterday morning. Dr. Hobb's topic was "Know North Carolina." r "The average student knows more about the guilds and feu dal system of the Middle Ages than he knows about farm ten ure or commerce' in North Carolina," Hobbs stated. To show how statistics about North Carolina are' often mis-quoted, the speaker made the 'startling announcement that ninety-five per cent of taxes attributed to North Carolina, is paid by other states; that North Carolina has given more relief from property taxes than any other state; and that property tax in this state is below the nation's average.

STRIKE SONG" CAROLINA PLAY3IAKERS TONIGHT 8:30 NUMBER 65 TRANSFUSION OF BLOOD MADE TO SATSPR0rfeS0R Jefferson Bynum Given Emer gency Treatment at Watts Hospital Last Night. According to latest reports, a blood transfusion was given to Professor Jefferson Bynum in Watts hospital, Durham, last night. Of twelve students who volunteered to give blood, it was learned that only orie was able to match the type needed to fuse with Bynum's blood. Authori ties, called last night, failed to give the" name of the donor. According to Dr. W. B. Aber nethy, who . issued a call for volunteers during assembly yes terday, more than seventy-five students immediately responded to the first call. Later, as the news was circulated about' the campus, his telephone was con stantly ringing throughout the afternoon as new volunteers re sponded. A . , Twelve were immediately se lected as best fitted for the transfusion, and names of others listed. Those' twelve went to Durham4 in the afternoon forv "type" tests, from which only one student was able to 'match the type. Blood consists' ot four types, one, two, three, ahd fqUr. Unless the types of patient" and donor correspond, transfusion is fruitless. ' Those selected for tests in cluded: F. W. Slusser, T. W. Lawrence, S. A. Douglas," Fran cis Sisson, Paul Roger "Leo Greenfield, Robert Drane, Henry Messick,' John Weatherman. Ed ward Lewis, Donald Swan and O. W. Farrell. While late' reports said that Bynum is "holding his own," loss of lbl6od! in recent hemorrv rhages made it advisable' to strengthen the blood stream. Subsequent transfusions may follow.
