Frosh Lecture
Scries Cut to
One Semester
Second Term of A & S
Subject Fails to Meet
Purposes, Says Dean
Freshman lecture, long a sore
spot in the minds of first-year stu
dents and a source of constant
criticism by cducat rs and schol
ars who had been subjected to the
course, has been deleted into a
one-semester course.
Altho the second-semester class
Schedule has been published for
some time, official announcement
of the change was made yesterday
from the office of Dr. C. II. Old
father, dean of the collegs of Arts
and Sciences.
The change, viewed In its en
tirely, is considered one of the
first majof alterations affecting
new policies and practices having
to do with freshman education.
The full-year course had been of
fered as a requirement for Arts
and Sciences college since l'jin,
Jc;in Oldfatlicr said. Freshmen,
who took the course this semester
have filled the requirement.
Two-Fold Purposes.
Purposes of the full-year course
have been two-fold the dean I
pointed out: h irst, was to intro- j
tlueo freshmen to the iinivei-sily by i
instiueting I! mi i'l such things as
methods of study, library placed- i
we, stuciei't health .servi.e, etc.
Tlie .second, int i od i. irg t'v fie.-'i-j
men to the major fields of tin Ait.; ,
and fsck-ni e.-i (olle;,e fn as to en-,
able them to select, their cu..rscs
liicue intelligently.
1 lie Second semester of the .
course was dropped, acoiding to
I Jean Oldfather, because of its
failure to fulfill the second pur
pose of the course. The dean ques
tioned the Micctss of any sing
course designed to aid the frosh i.
selecting their individual intellect
ual fields. Part of the failure was
also caused by the lack to a proper
class room conducive to the study,
the dean also believes. The single
semester course will be offered in
three sections and will be con
ducted in the Social Sciences au
ditorium. Home Ec Group

'Well Done'
Excellent Sets, Lighting
Captivate Audience in
Latest Production
By Ed Wittenberg.
After seeing three plays, even
tho they were short, it is' hard to
pick out any one outstanding fea
ture. The acting in the Players'
latest offering. "Tonight at 8:30,"
was good all around, ascending to
dramatic heights at times. The
quickly moving dialog was well up
to the audience's expectation of a
Noel Coward play.
But above all, appealing to the
eye find to the imagination, were
the three sets, sparkling like gems
against the dark velvet of a jew
eler's case. Altho the audience
was not always aware of them, the
sets and the lighting effects, just
as much as the actors, kept atten
tion riveted on the stage.
Condensation Brings Gasps.
In each play, "Ways and
Means," "The Astonished Heart"
and "Fumed Oak," so much action
was condensed into such a short
time, jihont 40 ini.i'lD tlv.t tho

gasping. In achieving the aim of
the playwright to make up a

triple bill was eminently success

You must forget and tear down

Mrs. Cobbey particularly ex
plained that people on ' lelief
should be seen as human beings
with normal ba kgrounos and his
