piano from babyhood, beginning
his public concert tours at the age

and Zwintscher, and composition
under Jadassohn.
At nineteen he made a success'

CAMPUS COUNCIL

From Liberal Arts College
And 3 From Speed
IS GERALDS’ SUGGESTION
A “Campus Council,” to be
composed of three members from
the Student Council of the Col'
lege of Liberal Arts, and three
from the Student Council of
Speed Scientific School, is now be'
ing organized for the purpose of
sponsoring joint activities of the
two schools and promoting a more
friendly spirit between then.
The representatives appointed
on this council are Sara Williams
Vick, Macon Leigh, Louis Lusky
from the Liberal Arts School and
Shelby Miller, Frank Neuhauser,
and Ray Hatter, of Speed School.
The formation of this council
grew out of a suggestion made by
Eddie Geralds, former president of
the Speed Council, that an all'Uni'
versity Student Council be organ'
ized. After much discussion, it
decided to amend this suggestion
and start a council composed only
of the two schools of the Univer'
sity which occupy Belknap
Campus.
A petition has been sent to
Dean B. M. Brigman asking that
Speed Scientific School classes be
dismissed at 11 o’clock on Friday
so that students may attend Lib'
eral Arts convocations.
