Student 9 Is Trusted Choice Of Courses At Minnesota Need Not Attend Class and Gets Degree After Passing Five v Comprehensives. " (Editor's Note: The following article is an editorial sent to the Daily Tar Heel by Phil. Potter, editor, of the Minnesota Daily, on the Minnesota ? plan of curriculum. ) Investigating the actual op eration of the .General College, we "find that the student is recog nized as an adult from the mo ment -he registers to the day he graduates, His :r firsts contact witnnis college is lively to come through: tie official bulletin, and there we find each course described in detail. The officials of the college work on the theo ry that if a course is fully and accurately described, the stu dent can be trusted to make an intelligent choice. j The student is graduated from the General College with the degree, Associate in Arts, at any time that he can pass comprehensives in five of the nine cultural fields offered for study. He selects the courses which, to his way of. thinking, will best prepare him for these examinations. Although the normal amount of preparation for these comprehensives is two years in the General College, the student is considered mature enough to decide when he is ready for these tests, and hence is allowed to take them at his own pleasure. Naturally , the student need not attend, class unless he thinks it worth his while. In the classes of the General College the lecturer's magnetism, or lack of it, counts very heavily. In the classes which are conduct ed by genuine teachers, in the strict sense of the word, the principle of the General College is being carried out with great success. teverai oi me classes are -conspicuous for the high in terest displayed by the students. These classes where students appear to be thinking and en joying the process are those, without exception, which are taught by teachers of warmth and personality. The General College, of course, drawsT almost all of its f aculf rom the other colleges of the University. Although its teachers .are, for the most part, those who have distinguished themselves as appealing to stu dents in other colleges, the Gen eral College cannot rise very far above the general level of teaching ability in this Univer sity: Our chief criticism of the , (Continued cn last page) were members of the -original To Malce-'Wise RALEIGH EDITOR TO GIVE READKG Jonathan Daniels of Rabiga News and Observer to Red . "Iactus Novcs" at 8:30. .-. Jonathan Daniels, editor of the Raleigh News and Observer, will read his new play, "Iactus Novus" (The New Cast) ' to morrow: evening at 8 :30 o'clock In the Haymakers theatre. - The play will be of particular interest to the students of the Roosevelt administration, as the play stimulates thought as well as humor. V "It is a satire of" the-New Deal with its scene laid in the Rome of Julius Caesar, who had his own troubles with feeding hungry people, rehabilitating stricken agriculture and so forth and so on. Today is not the first time in the history of the world that people have been hungry and didn't want to be hungry. . . In a way, it is a satirical consideration of the ancient miscarriage of mil lenniums and dictatorships," -Mr.-Daniels stated concerning his play. Daniels wishes it affirmed that his play is a satire of the pres ent rather than a story out of the past. Its problem is con temporary, dealing with the civilization that we live in. Jonathan Daniels was a mem ber of the original group of Carolina Playmakers, and was a good actor in his time, Pro fessor F. H. Koch stated yester day. He was here at the same time as Paul Green, Tom Wolfe, and Elizabeth Lay, who is now Mrs. Paul Green. These people were writing plays to be pro duced in the auditorium of the Chapel Hill high school about 1919 and 1920. During his col lege days, Daniels was editor of the Daily Tar Heel and dra matic critic for the campus. He was awarded a Guggenheim fel lowship for his novel, "Clash of Angels," a satire on "Paradise Lost" Weak-end Rest The following students were contmea to tne university in firmary yesterday : J. A.

HENDERSON SPEAKS Manning hall was the scene of a distinguished gathering of members of the North Carolina Bar, members of the Society of Sons of the American Revolu tion, and alumni and friends of the University, who came here yesterday for the presentation to the law school of portraits of two eminent sons of the state who became early justices of the Supreme court of the United States James Iredell of Eden- ton and Alfred Moore. Both were original trustees of the University. The portraits were presented by the North Carolina Society of Sons of the American Revolu tion, of which Dr. Charles Lee Smith of "Raleigh is president. They were accepted for the Uni- iversity and the law school by j Dean M. T. Van Hecke in the absence of President Graham. The date of the presentation is the 144th anniversary of the date on which President Wash ington signed Justice Iredell's raurrmission.

One of the most salient facts! which the Minnesota committee! on administrative reorganiza-! tion discovered was that only 50 per cent of students entering were reaching graduation. At this third largest university in the world the committee also found that there were from 1,800 to 2,000 students who did not pass into their junior year. From these trends and they are distinctly present on this campusthe Minnesota com mittee came to the decision that a reorganization must be made within the curriculum in order to meet the needs of that portion of the student body which did not reach graduation. . Accordingly, it made in Feb ruary, 1932, a recommendation to the faculty that a general col lege be set up, separately from the other departments of the university. This general --cot lege, a prototype of which is be ing considered for this campus, was to meet the needs of non graduating students, students who ceuld not meet the entrance requirements of the various 4 f ffZjZl Dr. T.

Other Departments, Set Up at existing colleges, students wish ing to pursue courses not offer ed in other colleges, students needing orientation into the choice of a vocation, and, final ly, students who are transferred from any existing college within the university because of inabil ity to meet its standards. The result of this reorganiza tion was what is now known as the General College of the Uni versity of Minnesota. It pre pares its students, as the recom mendation proposed, "for the part they will play in their com munities" by a special two-year course which attempts to give a broad background of general knowledge, such as is needed in everyday life.' At me ena oi two years, a student in the General College is graduated with a certificate, provided that he can pass com prehensives in five of the nine cultural fields offered for study. He "selects his own courses to prepare for these examinations and attends fctass1 optionally? -In the lme'witSftietontioi to provide courses of ; geijeral knowledge, rather than the spec ialised work of theviriotis coP leges, the General College offers a variety of studies which are taught by members of the facul ty specially chosen for their interest in the , program and - (CtmtlsueS cn last pag) !l4 Business Meeting of Delegates Will Be Held at 10:00 O'clock This Morning.
