Donald ChaDin was elected
president of the senior class when
students went to the poles yester
day. The junior election was de
clared invalid.
According to Bob Coonley, stu
dent council president, the junior
election was declared invalid be
cause the discrepency between
signed voters and ballots was
equal to the difference in count
for the two leading candidates.
Tabulation of the junior class
votes is as follows: Jackie Tobin,
56; Dake Novotny, 174; Darrell
Devote, 180; one invalid vote; to
tal, 411; signed registration, 404.

Famed Violinist
Records Music
For New Movie
When pianist Jose Iturbi re
corded the Chopin score for "Song
to Remember," he probably didn't
know that the talent of his fellow
concert artists would soon be put
to similar use. But Yehudi Menu
hin, violin virtuoso who plays at
8:30 in the coliseum tonight, can
tell him now.
Late this summer, Menuhin re
corded near 45 minutes of music
by the great violinist and com
poser Nicoali Paganini, for the
studios of J. Arthur Rank, pro
ducers of "Caesar and Clepatra."
The picture, based on the life of
the fabulous Paganini, is entitled
"The Magic Bow," altho Ameri
cans may see the British film
under another title.
Technician Too.
Menuhin not only lends the
magic of his own bow to the pro
duction, but his technical advice
as well since he reputedly knows
more than any other living person
about the life and times of his
predecessor. Except for a few
close-ups of his hands, Menuhin
will not appear in the film.
The entire plot of the picture
is being adapted to Menuhin's
musical sequences. It is perhaps
the first time in the history of
the motion picture that movie
goers will see a picture whose plot
is woven into a musical back
ground, instead of a musical back
ground woven and dubbed into
the film action.
Single admission tickets will be
on sale tonight as the coliseum
for $3. Students may still pur
chase $5 season tickets at the
School of Music and Union offices.
Regular reserved season ticket
sales are handled thru the inside
box office of the Stuart Theater.

Poet Speaks
At Opening
Convocation
By Elmer Sprague.
Poet Paul Engle, addressing the
opening university convocation
Tuesday morning, began by say
ing, "You can write poetry for
the same reason you do anything
else in the world; because you
want to do it."
"Writing a poem begins in liv
ing a poem," he said. "A poet is
a supersensitive person, who
lives intensely and remembers
most of what he sees and does.
Then when the poetic motive hits
him, the poet is ready to dig into
his remembered experience to po
etically illustrate and amplify his
original idea."
The speaker stressed that writ
ing poetry is more than a matter
of inspiration. The inspiration an
noys the poet into starting to
write, but the success of the poem
depends also on the fullness of the
poet's heart and mind. As Mr. En
gle put it, the poet is a man of
deep experience who has become
a poet, before he starts to write.
Poems begin at any time in the
poet's life when he begins to re
member. Mr. Enele lustified his theories
on how poetry comes to be writ
ten, by reading some or his own
peoms. He told of the myriad ex

pictures; and last Sunday it drew
large crowds of students at its

that there will be absolutely no

the minimum amount that can be

profit will be the W.A.A. since
