FRESHMEN HEAR LAW DEAN SPEAK Van Hecke Discusses Pre-Legal Edu cation in Assembly Dean Van Hecke of the Uni versity law school spoke at the Wednesday morning freshman assembly. Speaking on the topic "Pre Legal Education," Dean Van Hecke showed how the poor re quirements of the present bar exams for candidates to practice law in North Carolina placed the state as low as 41st. The present examination does not even require a college degree. The dean told the freshmen not to enter the law school un less they were sure of their in terests in law. He also said that the law books are cumbersome ly written and that candidates should, therefore, be sure that they "know the King's English." He told the first year men that he could recommend no definite subjects for them in their pre paration for the law school since statistics reveal that successful lawyers have majored in all sorts of subjects. Dean Van Hecke asserted that the 1938 N. C. bar exam will result in revised regulations that will place North Carolina near the top. This was Van Hecke's first talk to this year's freshman class. Siberian Singers Dressed in native Russian cos tume, the Siberian Singers, di rected by Nicholas Vasilieff, ap peared last night on the Student Entertainment Series, singing legendary church chants, folk songs, and gypsy lyrics. A large audience gave the singers a worthy reception and were pleased with their interpre tations of "The Three Little Piggies," and "The Man on the Flying Trapeze," which the Rus sians gave as encores.

" BRING CANDIDATES HERE A re-vamped Carolina Politi cal union stepped into the realm of actuality last night when re presentatives from various cam pus organizations, sitting as the union, voted to adopt the consti tutional commrittae's platform and as its f ' act elected Floyd F. . . rairman. - 'I assembled group b Ak:s Chief ite-organizer Mr. Fit ty'qra: er, graduate student in econoe' mics, read the platform which provided that the Carolina Poli tical union should function as a campus-representative inviting body to bring to Carolina politi cal speakers of state and na tional prominence. To effectuate facile handling of the invitations and other exe cutive work of the union, the platform provided that the chairman appoint a small steer ing committee from the larger group. McGlinn Is Secretary Phi-man Frank McGlinn wras elected to act as secretary of the union which, under the adopted constitution, will seldom meet in full membership. The steering committee will handle most of the heavy work. Gubernatorial candidates are first on the docket to be asked here. Winston-Salem's McDon ald has already indicated that he would be willing to appear on a union-sponsored program. Certain campus organizations who have not sent a representa tive will notify Fletcher as soon as they have selected their dele gate. Russian Says Music Of America Lacking In Depth, Sincerity Manager cf Siberian Singers Discusses Traits of American Jazz, Teachers "I have had plenty of good chances to become acquainted with American music," explain ed Demeter Zachareff, manager of the Siberian Singers, who were presented in Memorial hall last night, "because I have been to more colleges than your Pres ident, although he does step around quite a bit." According to Mr. Zachareff, the trouble with American mu sic is that it lacks depth. Our music teachers are not sincere enough; our concert managers are out for money. Foreign mu sicians . have been ruined by American managers who merely consider money as their goal. Russian singers who stay in America too long sound dead. American music is commercial instead of being artistic as it should be, he claimed. "As for jazz," continued the manager, "it is a tantalizing mel ody, but after you hear it, what then?" He added that he would consider it a crime if his pro grams consisted merely of pleas ant entertainment. He considers it his duty to give to the audi ence music which' will make it thoughtful and reflective. Mr. Zachareff thinks that the real cause of the poor quality of American music is our lack of (Continued on page two)
