GEOLOGISTS PLAN
TWO FIELD TRIPS
Geology Department to Conduct Sum
mer Visits to Virginia Mountains
The geology department has
chosen the mid-Appalachian reg
ion along the Virginia-West Vir
ginia border as the locality for
the field course to be given this
summer during the first session
of summer school. A shorter
visit will be made also to the
Spruce Pine area in North Car
olina. The party will leave Chapel
Hill at noon June 11 and return
in time for the second session of
the summer school. Two course
credit is given for this field
work, for which general geology
is prerequisite. Credit is also
given for advanced field work.
Frequently students from other
universities have joined the
party of Chapel Hill geologists
setting out on this expedition.
The work this year will be un
der the supervision of Dr. W.
F. Prouty, head of the depart
ment of geology, and Dr. .John
W. Huddle, professor of paleon
tology and , stratigraphy. The
areas chosen for. the field work
are ideal both from the scienti

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

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

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
