Have you ever jitterbugged
with a Ornithopoda that is 2500
years old? Of course not, but you
can if you purchase a 60c ticket
to the Beaux Arts Ball to be
held in Morrill Hall Saturday
night at 8:00.
. It isn't everyone who can tell
their grandchildren that he jived
to the tune of "Money Is The
Root of All Evil," in the halls of
a university museum.
Heaven and Hell?
The theme of the ball is
"Heaven and Hell" and Morrill
Hall and the fossils will be dec
orated accordingly. It's up to you.
You can be an angel or you can
go to the devil, cuz it's a costume
affair and Chinese princesses,
bartenders, English bulldogs and
Hungarian goulash, will reign.

B. Harding
Discusses
Might of Pen
Bertita Harding, authoress and
lecturer, who spoke in the Union
ballroom Tuesday at an all-uni
versity convocation, stated "the
power of words is not always
used for the good of mankind.
'. Lecturing on "The Power of the
Pen," Mrs. Harding noted that
non-fiction had always absorbed
her most. "The material of reality
itself real life is most impor
tant," she said. She added that in
every human being there is one
book, and that it is only a mat
ter of choice as to when it ap
pears. Cosmopolitan Family.
Born in Nuremburg, Mrs. Hard
ing was educated in France, and
lived mainly in New Mexico. Her
mother was sent to New Mexico
to obtain the Hapsburg jewels and
the family went along. The most
precious of the famous jewels
were found in a thieve's market.
A part of the imperial silver serv
ice was found, but none of the
jewels were never recovered.
Mrs. Harding's first novel,
Phantom Crown, was based on
the life of Maxmillian and Car
lotta, ill-fated Hapsburgs of Mex
ico. Listing the sources, to which
her first book is indebted, Mrs.
Harding told of the ancient ladres-in-waiting,
who remembered Car
lotta and her husband and who
had "stored their tales in the at
tic of their imagination."
Gains Philosophy.
Coupled with an actual search
for historical information relating
to Mrs. Harding's book, a third
source was found in a French
convent where the authoress
acquired a philosophy regarding
her work. An invisible help for
her story was her memories, Mrs.
Harding added.

School Revises
Study Course
For Graduates
The university graduate school
of social work is one of six uni
versities to revise its pre-profes-
sional course of study, according
to an announcement made Mon
day by Dr. Frank Z. Click, school
director.
"Too many social workers in
the past have been over-specialized,"
Dr. Click said. "Our new
course seeks to avoid a narrow
professional viewpoint. It com
bines theory and practicality,
which is essential in view of the
steadily increasing prominence of
social work services in our post
war world."
New Course.
Under the new course of study,
