be held in the Music Studio at 3

De Falla, Weinberger and Gersh-win.
Illustrating her talk with
the splendid recordings of the com-posers’
works, which are to be
found at any time in the Studio,
Mrs. Fryberger will trace the in-triguing
trends that present-day
music is following.
Rehearsals Progress
On Barry Comedy
Rehearsals for the forthcoming
U. of L. Players’ presentation of
Philip Barry’s hilarious Spring
Dance are well under way. The
play is a typical American college
concoction, pleasingly etching the
inevitable types to be found on
any university campus. The plot
jogs along to display the none too
subtle attempts of a group of girls
at boarding school to capture an
elusive young man for their favor-ite
sister. The cast includes Livings-ton
Gilbert, Jean Parish, Mary
Whitlatch, Joey Crume, Helen
Caldwell, Wilbert Lindsey, Ruth
Nall, George Montgomery, Ken-neth
Krausgill, Virginia Jefferies,
Harold Berg, John Lubbers, and
Martha Mann.
Patron reservations are obtain-able—
five for $4.00, or 10 for
$7.50. The holder of a patron
ticket may use as many tickets
on one show as he wishes. Stu-dent
tickets for the remaining
three shows may be purchased by
members of any educational insti-tution,
or any school of the Uni-versity
aside from Liberal Arts
for $l.OO.
Lawyers Revert
To Normal Pace
With examinations over and
power restored, the University of
Louisville Law School settled back
into normalcy. Classes began of-ficially,
Feb. 15 simultaneously
with registration.
Examinations in abbreviated
form were necessitated because
there is no system of six week
tests. The final examination con-stitutes
the entire semester’s grade.
Flood losses were negligible due
to the forsesight of Dean Lott who
took adequate precautions in mov-ing
books well out of the possible
reach of water.
BAND MARCHES ON
According to a statement by
Roy Boesser, Band Manager,
practice this term will continue as
previously scheduled.
The drive to put a uniformed
band on parade by spring will be
continued as soon as the flood
emergency is completely over.
DAE Registration
Off 25% Due To
Flood Aftermath
Registration for the Division of
Adult Education will continue
throughout the week at which time
an enrollment of over 400 is ex-pected
to be reached. The total
at the present time has reached
350.
Last week 500 letters and sched-ules
were sent out by the Division
to prospective students. A resul-tant
increase in enrollment is ex-pected
by the end of the week.
The 400 mark expected by the
Division falls short of the enroll-ment
for the last term for several
reasons. The first is the normal
drop anticipated by any night
school between the first and
second semesters. It is a usual
thing for the D. A. E. enrollment
to drop 2 5 % or over at the begin-ning
of the second semester. The
normal enrollment for the second
term is estimated at about 650.
The rest of the subnormal drop for
this term is considered a result of
the flood.
No courses will be dropped from
the D. A. E. schedule until after
this week.
The course in Street Traffic
Control given through Speed
School for members of the Louis-ville
Police Department has been
postponed indefinitely because of
the death of Professor George T.
Ragsdale and because of the added
duties imposed upon the Police
Department as a result of the
flood. Professor Ragsdale was the
force behind the whole system of
Police schooling.
Communism, Fascism
Issue at I. R. C. Meet
Opening its activities for the
second semester, the International
Relations Club will hold its first
meeting tomorrow at 12:30 in the
Women’s Building. Lunch will be
served before a discussion on the
subject, “Communism vs. Fasc-ism.”
The speakers are Dr. K.
P. Vinsel, who will present a Com-munist
viewpoint and Dr. F O.
Wilcox, who will uphold the doc-trines
of Fascism.
Bachelor Profs Ruled Out
As Chaperones by Dean
That women are held in repute
on this campus, at least faculty
women, was brought forcibly to
light last week when Student
Council members were securing
faculty guests for last week’s
dance. From the Dean of Women’s
office comes the ruling that three
professors and their wives are to
be present at any student dance.
The Council members were
faced with the dilemna of being
unable to secure the needed three
couples. It was suggested that
the bachelor faculty members be
asked and allowed to bring their
own women guests. This arrange-ment
(for good reasons no doubt)
did not meet the approval of the
Dean of Women’s office. Further
investigation, however, disclosed
the fact that unmarried faculty
women and their escorts are con-sidered
as eligible as a couple for
faculty guests.
That makes one up for the fac-ulty
women. It also meant that
Dr. J. M. Read, bachelor chairman
of the Committee on Student Or-ganizations,
was ineligible to be
invited to a student dance as a fac-ulty
guest.
Centennial Coins To
Commemorate U.-L.
U. of L. may have a coin to
commemorate its 100th anniver-sary.
Representative Emmet
O’Neal of Louisville is in Wash-ington
now and has offered a bill
to authorize the making of these
coins, which will be disposed of
“at par or at a premium” by the
Centennial Celebration Commit-tee.
Proceeds from the coins “shall
be used by it in defraying the ex-penses
incidental and appropriate
to the commemoration of such an
event.”
Druien Confers
With Brookings Men
J. Paul Druien, head of the Div-ision
of Adult Education and
member of the Committee on Edu-cation
of the United State Junior
Chamber of Comerce, left for
Washington last Saturday to at-tend
a meeting of that committee
at the Brookings Institute The
object of the meeting is to study
plans for local forums which are to
be based on the study made by the
institute on the distribution of
wealth.

Dance Put Off Till
Easter Holidays

dance which was originally sched-uled
for the night of Washington’s
Birthday has been postponed in-definitely.

are uncertain at this time but a
definite arrangement is expected
to be made later in the week.
At present the following facts
may be considered as certainties:
the dance will be held; it will be
held sometime after Easter; the
place will be in the gym; and
everyone present will have a good
time.
