American Youth Hostels Open
Widespread Travel Campaign
BY EUGENE BERMAN
A desire to travel and to see
the world is characteristic of most
college students ' It is in recog
nition of this fact that the Amer
ican Youth Hostels, Inc., a non
profit educational organization
during the past twelve years have
allowed American hostelers to log
up half a million overnights in
their own country and believe
some 10,000 of them to travel
abroad enjoying the welcome of
affiliated hostels in 24 countries.
This year the A. Y. H. has
scheduled trips to Europe and
throughout the North American
continent in addition to two week,
inter-regional trips in this coun
try. A comprehensive outline of
the plans for this summer will be
given in a series of four articles
dealing with these subjects: The
American Youth Hostels, North
and Central American Trips,
Work Projects, and finally, Euro
pean Hostels.

is especially useful in the re
habilitation of tendons and
muscles of hands and forearms,
and affords a patient who has
undergone certain kinds of hand
surgery a much-to-be-desired ac
tivity." Mrs. de Windt will sing Italian
and modern groups as well as
a group of four numbers by
Richard Strauss. Miss Boehm will
play selections by Chopin, Ravel
and Albeniz. "Music News" mag
azine in reviewing one of her
recitals has said of the mezzo
contralto, "Louise de Windt has
undoubtedly one of the fittest
contralto voices in Chicago, as
well as an abudnant intelligence
and artistry. .. .She presented as
fine a reading of Tchaikowsky's
'Farewell, Ye Hills,' as one will
hear in a whole season of con
certs." Price.

Art Students Open Publicity
Drive With Pagliacci Posters
BY RUTH ANN FINKLE.
Morrill Hall has seen more than
usual activity during the last
month on the part of ,the art
department as student classes
prepare colorful posters to ad
vertise the School of Fine Arts'
forthcoming production of the
opera "Pagliacci." This year's
opera produced by the combined
efforts of music, speech and art
departments, will be presented
February 6, 7 and 8 in Temple
Theater.
Poster-making has been divided
among various art classes, Miss
Kady Faulkner's sophomore com
position, Mrs. Clara Allen's and
Mr. Murray Turnbull's section of
beginning drawing logic, and Mrs.
Allen's lettering classes.
Illustrate Plot
Scenes illustrating incidents
suggesting the opera plot are
made on heavy cardboard and
combined with lettering executed
by students in lettering classes.
Working in pnstel chalks or cray
ons, the freshmen drawing logic
classes are not allowed to use
human figures in their portray
als, but may use creative objects
such as toy clowns, daggers, masks
or drums. A near-surrealistic ef
fect is obtained, the objects being
symbols of what is meant to be
portrayed. Sophomore classes are
unrestricted in their choice of J
Pointing out that housing needs
are as critical now as last fall,
since much of the surplus housing
space has been absorbed, Mr.

only five or six requests have
been filled.
Serious Situation.
Emphasizing the seriousness of
the housing situation, Mr. Hayes

Midyear Grads
Obtain Degrees
On February 1
In the first midwinter com
emncement service since 1918,
Chancellor Gustavson will confer
degrees on 250 graduating stu
dents in the Union ballroom at
11 a. m., Feb. 1.
The commencement address,
"Tomorrow and Instructional
Freedom," will be presented by
the Hon. John Wayne Delehant,
judge of the U. S. district court
of Lincoln, after an invocation by
the Rev. Robert E. Drew, direc
tor of Wesley Foundation of the

Sinfonians.
Under the direction of Alfred
Blinde, the Sinfonians v.Mll sing
"Summer Evening," a Finnish folk
song; "When Old Friends Meet
by Kountz, and "Adoremus Te"
by Palestrina.
Music while the audience is as

Prof. Myron J. Roberts, whose
selections will be "Occasional
Overture" and "Largo in E" by
Handel. To close the program he
will play a march by Barie.
subject matter in designing their
illustrations. Tempera paints have
proved a popular medium.
Work on the posters has prog
ressed since before Christmai
when Miss Faulkner played re
cordings of the opera score and
read the synopsis of the story to
the classes, discussing it with
them before they began. The as
signment was considered partic
ularly good for practice in ex
pressing one central thought in
an illustration.
Encountering- Difficulties.
Difficulties were encountered
when it was discovered that fin
ished posters this year were not
to be the same size as those last
year, as had been assumed, but
smaller, making it necessary to
cut down many of the completed
illustrations. Added to this was
the fact that the posters are be
ing done on cardboard heavier
than the poster board to which
they will be attached. Some of
the shorter girls have found the
cardboard unwieldy and have re
sorted to laying them on the floor,
working on hands and knees!
Tickets for the opera are on
sale until February 1 from mem
bers of University Singers, who
form the chorus for the produc
tion; at a booth in the Union; at
the school of music office; and
at Walt's Music Store. Price is 75
cents including tax.
