Christmas Party
Four University students dine

party last year. This year's
Creative
Magazine
Proposed
Three committee chairmen were
named Friday at a meeting in the
Union to discuss possibilities of a
creative writing magazine for un
dergraduates according to Robert
Hough, assistant professor of Eng
lish. The committees formed and
their chairmen are: editorial,
Steve Schultz, chairman; business,
Jane Simmons, manager; and art,
Barbara Millnitz, chairman.
Steve Schultz, editorial chair
man, stated Monday with the
amount of writing done by stu
dents who aren't recognized as
writers he feels the magazine
should be a great success.
"I hope," said Schultz," that
this magazine will not feature cre
ative writing which is restricted
entirely to poetry and short stories.
"Rather we hope to include re
views of current books which will
interest students, criticism of con
troversial works of any age, and
such features as historical essays
which will stimulate creativity not
alone in the English department,
but in every other undergraduate
department as well.
"This should give the magazine
a more universal appeal than it
would have if restricted to some
smaller group. What it means, in
short, is, 'The more the merrier,' "
Schultz said.

Public Service
Grants Given
By 3 Colleges
Students interested in public
affairs and public service careers
who will receive their B.A. in June
have been offered an opportunity
to apply for fellowships to study
at three different universities. The
fellowships grant $1,500 a year
plus college fees. Each fellowship
approximates $1,950 in total value.
Beginning this June, fellows will
serve with a public agency such
as TVA or a department in a city
or state government. In the
39 school session they will take
graduate courses at the Univer
sities of Alabama, Tennessee and
Kentucky.
Completion of the 12 months
training entitles fellows to a cer
tificate in public administration.
They can be awarded a masters
degree at either of the three uni
versities upon completing a thesis
and passing examinations.
For eligibility requirements and
other information students should
write the educational director of
the University of Alabama. The
deadline for submitting applica
tions is March 10, 1953.
E. W,
Simpson, Jr., director nf j
the NU Division of Environmental
Health explained that the code
effects both men and women stu
dents alike regardless of where the
house is located.
"All student housing that has j
been inspected under the code m
thu past two years has had some j
defect," he said.
AUinority tor requiring housing;
coniormance comes from th
Board of Regents which states
that undergraduate students mast
live in approved housing,
Thus, if housing doesn't live up .
to standards, the housing can be ,
ruled "off limits" for students.
The proposed code is expected
to be submitted to the Board of
Regents for approval by March 1
1958.

nual presentation of Handel's
"Messiah" by the University
Choral Union.
The performance, wliich has
been presented here annually for
more than 40 years, will begin
at 3 p.m. in the Coliseum. A
crowd of more than 8,000 per
sons saw the performance last
year.
The four soloists are Lois Ripa,
soprano; Carol Asbury, alto; Har
old Slagle, tenor, and Norman
Riggins, bass.
Miss Asbury is the only singer
to have appeared as a soloist Ji

He will serve as Advisor on

Dr. Richards will leave the Col

December. He is to report to the

Washington, D.C., he will fly to
Bangkok, the seat of the Thai
government to report to officials
there. And finally, lie will travel
to Chiengmai in northwest Thai
land where he is to do his work.
His duties will be primarily ad
ministrative. He expects his big

are no doctors or failities.
Because of its large population
and relatively small number of
physicians, doctors are needed
badly in Thailand, he says. The
