Prof. John Ise of the economics department of the University of Kansas told a group of economists and professors of business admin istration in Social Sciences build ing Tuesday afternoon that intro ductory courses in economics, known as "elements of economics," probably should be eliminated from the college schedule. In Professor's Ise'a opinion, these facts are gen erally taught in advanced courses, thus resulting in considerable duplication. In place of these courses, the Kansas educator recommended that first year students be required to take courses in economic his tory, which would give the student a proper background for his later advanced work. The speaker la mented the fact that economic de partments have been abandoned by many schools, and lauded the scholarly broadmmdedness or uean J. E. LeRossignol, who, he said, was not allowing the college of business administration at the uni versity to become a specialized school for future business men. Out of Town Visitors.
