The association is composed of student unions throughout the United States and Canada. At this year's meet ing twenty-three college unions were represented by forty dele gates. The1 highlight of the convention was' an address on the necessity and functions of college unions by Dean Christian Gauss; of Princeton university. ' ' Goodridge Attends Noah ' Goodridge, manager of Graham Memorial; was tfye rep resentative from' North Carolina. Marty of ' these unions are so large that men ofabout middle age' and - of business experience are employed' as managers. -4 On many' campi the union is the' most 1 important student or ganization and controls all social events. The' union buildings at Such ' universities as Michigan and Toronto cost about' 1,000--000 and are completely equipped for athletics; sleeping quarters, andi sbciarevents.),i ? y-'J u ' Deanx GausS srioke during the convention W the7 "Need for arid Placef'a Union in the Social Life of aN !,-&mlpusV'- In his LATHAM APPEARS IN FINANCE TALK Cotton Broker" and Exporter Speaks on "Why England Left the ' Gold ' Standard."

KAY FRANCIS IS CROOK U$ LOCAL ATTRACTION "The False Madonna' playing today at the Carolina, gives to Kay Francis a new distinction, for it is the first Paramount picture in which she has the leading role. In "The False Madonna' she is seen as the stylish derin-riionde who operates with a gang of in ternational "confidence" crooks in a scheme to swindle a wealthy young man out of his miUion (doli lar inheritance. BANQUET TAKES PLACE OF RECITATION PERIOD Professor W. A. Olsen and his public speaking" class presented a banquet last night 'at the Carolina Inn. Members of. the class were the principal speak ers. The class will not assem ble today jsince the banquet counted as a1 regular recitation period. speech ite emphasized the fact that the faculty of universities, as a whole, is thoroughly inter ested in the : students' activities and will, if given the opportun ity, enter into the social life of the campus. In many univer sities the faculty has as great an interest in the union as the stu dents. xHe said that a faculty member enjoys having a student consult him arid ask his advice; that professors are as human and enjoy recreation as mucri as any of the students. Union Experts v "Dean Gauss" said Goodridge, "knows the part a union may play in bringing, the faculty and student body closer to each oth er. J. Burgon Brickersteth, of the University of Toronto, is an other man who knows students and student unions." s Brickersteth, who has been warden. - or maneger, of Harti house, thex student' union at Toronto university, for many years, spoke on "Traditions and j Experiments of College Unions' The realization that student unions arei ideal for bringing contact between faculty and stu dents ' is spreading rapidfy throughout the country. - Two new'members were " admitted to the association this year, Gra ham 'Memorial 1 and the union1 ?of the University of Oklahoriia.

Resume of Courses In Science Departments Ends Student Survey (Continued from first pape) Chemistry 1-2 Survey courses in general in organic" chemistry presented by three 'able menv .. Dr. Bell lec tures in an interesting, if not b. all times a clear mariner; Dr. Edrhister presents1 the course 'in ai' rather too serious way, rely ing too" much on trie individual capabilities of the students; Dr. Cameron is probably the easiest &s well as the riiost . instructive of the three. ' Dr? Wheeler teach es a very tiresome and boring course, as if he were reading the work word for word out of the book'.' ' The " laboratory classes are efficiently managed "and prove of decided worth to the beginner. , ,- - - Chemistry 31 Almost - entirely laboratory work in qualitative analysis. A "cook-book" course. Dr. Dob biriss -'si verjr instructive lec turer but he is very inducive to sleep on a 2:00 o'clock class. ' yaluable for students continuing Lne siuay oi cnemistry. uood guesser can make an "A."' Chemistry 41-42 Laboratory course in element ary quantitative analysis well taught- by Dr.1 Dobbins. ' Chemistry 61-62 Mainly laboratory courses in organic chemistry. The lecture periods under Dr. Wheeler are reading periods ; all information is' taken directly from a note book. Dr. Bost enhances value of course by careful presentation. Calendar THE DAILY ": ". Chemistry 71 A highly technical course in chemistry ' of foods. Neverthe less instructive and in close re lation to everyday' life. Good for dietitions. Dr. Bost makes the course a study and not a drudge. GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT Dr Collier Cobb, head of the geology department, made the folio wing' statement of the aims of the department: "In my conversation- with Dr. George T. Winston, who invited me here just before he assumed the'presi dency of the JJniversity in 1891, he said that he wanted our stu dents trained in such a way as to give them a broader view of life, and to aid them in develop ing pur natural resources;' and, incidentally, to get a living while doing so. "This has been my aim since I came here a year later, and it is still the purpose of the en tire department. Field work and laboratory work have been em phasized, and the several brief vacations of the regular sessions were always devoted to field ex- cursions before the advent . of the automobile. Then, too, sxme weeks of eacli' summer have, for nearly forty years been spent in the field 1 by ' the more serious- minded students." The following is the general consensus of opinion on the sev eral courses' offered by the geol ogy department, gathered from undergraduates arid graduate students who have taken a large number of trie courses offered by the department: Geology 5 Excellent preparatory course for Economics A. Excessive amount o chart work with pep py lectures by Jeff Bynum, who relieves the monotony of trie subject' matter with numerous puns. Outside reading" and map Work makes course rather dif ficult. ' ' Geology 11-12 Introductory' physical geology in the first with a follow-up' on the subject by the second. Lec tures necessarily dry and unin teresting to tlie average A.B. student and of real worth only to those interested in majoring or minoring in geology. Labs universally condemned for drudg ery ; one student says "if; you get Martin in the laboratory, you takeyorir ' choice between syco phanic genuflection and low grades, often failure." To your dictionaries, sophomore credit seekers! Geology 41 You can take this course in the principles of geology wheth er you are majoring' in- theology or viVasfectiori'; ! the scholarly Dr. Cobb "riTakesr; it an" interesting crip. Geology 43-44 Comprehensive studies in min eralogy made practical by Dr. McCarthy. . V i Geology 51-52 Industrial and commercial ge ography''; not much work re quired. , u ' Geology 53 Principles studied in Geology 51-52 in their application t6 some one of the continents. Dr. Cobb's lectures are witty and the study required won't keep you upJate. ( i; ' 1 Geology 56 Advanced work in physiog raphy with Geology 11-12 a3 prerequisites; extended field study; another one of Cobb's easier courses. PHYSICS DEPARTMENT Five successive and unfruit ful attempts to interview Dr; Otto Stuhlman, head of the priysics department, were net results of the aims and purposes of the department: Physics 14 Descriptive course in element ary astronomy, s Non-technical arid taught for cultural purposes. Knowledge, of physics, though TAIl HEEL not essential, is helpful. f: " Physics 21-22 Good course in general physics made interesting by many ex periments conducted in the class ; daily. Requires work; and the subject stays in the mind of the student. Lab is good, but ex periments on the subjects being discussed in class should be giv en at the same time arid not a week later. Dr. Fusslers "sys tem of teaching, as well as his type fif quizzes, is highly com mendable.. - ' PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT Being unable to keep up with that "Wanderer of Liverpool," DrI J. Frederick Dashieil, the Daily Tar Heel could not obtain a statement as to the purposes and aims of the psychology de partment from the departriient head. , .The following is the consen sus of opinion on trie elementary courses in the department: Psychology 21-22 Very worthwhile courses in general psychology. Dr. Dashieil isr very scientific, though the oretical ; his system of "pop" quizzes is unfair and keeps stu dents on edge all the time. Dr. Bagby is practical. Classes are large giving little chance for in dividual instruction. Labs re quire a great deal of time, and contain much unessential ma terial, useless for practical pur poses. Psychology 140 Study pf psychology ofL per sonality under Dr. Bagby. De cidedly worthwhile. psychology 136 " Economic psychology of ad vertising that could be broad ened to enlist campus embryo advertising men. Might one day be an attractive course for the journalism school, srioiild the one ever be enlarged. ZOOLOGY DEPARTMENT The following stateriient was Calif Far i: PMYlW: , If JL. . L obtained froin Dr. H. V. Wilson, who herein defines the aims and purposes of the zoology depart ment: "The interest in living thing3 is universal. In simpler states of society this interest is' ele mentary and practical, largely concerned in learning what ani mals' and plants are useful or harmful. The decorative habit arid desire for amusement also tend to increase human interest in other creatures. With the progress of civilization we learn that these things have organs and tissues, much alike in all forms. We thus begin to make experimental use of any suitable animal or plant in order to as certain the laws to which the behavior of living; matter, pro toplasm, conforms. "Thus natural history passes into biology, oology and bot any, conceived in the broad sense, are the' two halves of biol ogy, separated only because of the immense number of facts, heir ultimate aims are the same. Like other sciences, zoology has its applications. In our courses we endeavor to point this out, since many people find trie greatest interest not in learn ing the fundamental processes of nature but in learning facts that Remember There is still time to have pictures finished from Yackety Yack negatives for Xmas Wootten - Moulton m C7TI3 r? 3 na - rr f All Student Laundry Bundles at 'THf W&W )0 ASBQEi' & Pepiitiiii!
