AYLSJKTII ACCEPTS
COMMITTEE SERVICE
Civil Liberties Union Asks
Professor to Help in
National Drire.
Prof. L. K. AyUwortb of the de
partment of political science has
accepted Invitations of the Amer
ican Civil Liberties Union to serve
on two national committees.
The American Civil Liberties
Union, an organization which has
as its purpose to assure every citi
zen of his constitutional rights, is
forming these two large national
groups to deal with what It re
gard. as unfair exercise of court
power.
One of these committees seeks
to prohibit issuance of injunctions
in labor disputes. The other has
as its purpose to prevent a Judge
from trying a contempt case in
which he has been the accuser and
in which the act of contempt was
not committed In the presence of
the court. This. Professor Ayls-
worth points out. is chiefly ap
plicable to cases where the press
has been cited Tor coniempi.
The two committees of the
union are organized on a state and
national basis with Dr. Aiexanaer
Fleisher of New York in charge of
an executive group which will have
charge or promotion wortc mrougn
out the country.
Orchestra Hired
For Mixer Next
Friday Evening
To Assure the success of the All
Summer School mixer to be held
this Friday evening at the worn
n' p-vmnasium. the facultv com
mittpo in charge has enaeed an
orchestra to play for dancing. To

chestra, an admission charge of
10 cents will be made.
The mixer will start promptly at
8:30 o'clock with a program of in
formal games which will be in
charge of Miss Frances Ash. Both
rooms of the gymnasium will be
opened so that several groups may
play games at me same ume.
Games will be followed by danc
ing with music furnished by an or
chestra rather than volunteer pi
ano players as was the case at the
last mixer. Circle dances, square
dances, and grand marches will be
used to get the students better ac
auainted.
The faculty committee, neaaea
by E. W. Lantz, chairman, is ex
pecting an attendance of 400 stu
dents which is about the same
number as attended the other
mixer. The committee will meet
today or tomorrow to perfect

work offered by Mr. Novotny was
remarkable." Mrs. Smith declared.
"I have never heard a person with
such complete understanding of
the sub.iect nor with such a won
derful background. My only rrgtet
was that the rota so lasted only
for two weeks. All of lis who
heard Mr. Novotny's lectures felt
It was entirely too short."

Jure 16. lasted to June 27. bad
an enrollment of fifty plus a num
ber of auditors. The course was
limited to two weeks because sum
mer school otficlals fell a shorter

in the university summer session
in previous years but never be
