Al Uimin hnth Jonra News Print Culture for All ... : Culture comes to the campus tonight for a brief stay in the form of the opera "Pagliacci." Produced with the co-operation of the music, sjeech and ait departments of the university, the opera provides an opiiortunity for stu dents not in those departments to view their work. Stu dents also have the privilege of seeing one of the outstand ing classics in opera done in a professional manner. Presentation of such a work as "Pagliacci" adds to the list of cultural and educational facilities available to stu dents outside the classrooms of the university. Most of: these facilities are now under the guidance of the school of j fine arts and include concerts, by vocal and instrumental groups, recitals, plays and art exhibits. Tlioso activities ront it nt o n vit:il i:ri nf cillw life 1 needed in preparation for community life. Any jxnson who professes not to appreciate or understand art, music or drama is not as well-educated as he thinks he is. It is a common attitude to consider anyone who evidences an interest in these arts as slightly demented. Americans have been brought up to regard brawn as the essential char acteristic to be sought ami any aesthetic sense in deplored as a handicap, to be subdued as quickly as possible. We have had to be educated to culture. The university, in offering productions like "Pagliacci," follows through in educating our generation to culture. "Pagliacci" is not merely education, though. It in volves love, the ternal triangle and murder all in one eve ning t On second thought, that can be educational, too And People Pay To Go to School BV JACK HILL. The atomic commission at Iake Success dissolved into a group of ;in;;ry men this week as Russian and U. S. delegates failed to come to an agreement over the defini tion of several terms in the pro posed atomic control plans. After Russia had balked at the first arms control proposal, Amer ican representative Warren Austin submitted a compromise measure out the Russians took exception to the commission's idea of what the phrase "weapons for mass de struction" meant. The Soviet's Gromkyo took the tlior of the meeting immediately alter Austin had left and de nounced the new suggestion as en tirely unnecessary. The fiery Rus sian deliberately skirted an open i accusation of stalling on the part 'of America, but made sever. d bits j along that line. Main bone of contention is (whether the A bomb should be 1 disposed of before general dis I armament begins. The Russian 'and American points of view are I at definite variance with Austin j voicing America's belief that the j atomic contio! must be solved be- j fore the arms scrapping begins. while Russia would like to bulk j the entire problem of disarma ment with that of the bond). Meanwhile, the bomb seemed, to have lost none of its potency ! as the greatest cause of jitters in the world as congress and Harney , Rarueh both clinilx'd on their re spective high horses about atomic secret leaks thru Canada. After 1 the opening fireworks, Raruch i came out with the astounding statement that the Russians would not know how to manufacture the bomb if they had its secrets. Ap parently Mr. Harm h has over looked some id Russia's advances technologically in the last 2r years. Apparently Mr. Rarueh is also committing a cardinal diplo matic sin, that is, in undeiseti malmg an opponent.

BY MAKTHI I.LA HOLCO.MB There are those who found it difficult getting to their first class that first morning of the second semester. Outside the weather was some thing less than springlike, in fact the mercury hadn't come out of the bulb of the thermometer. It had heard the ground hog wasn't coming out till Sunday, and was holding out for better working conditions. I, in my warm little bed, found it no trouble at all to put first one foot, then the other, on the floor, and follow through from there. No trouble at all, esecial ly since my mother was firmly at tached to my left ear. Once my teeth were brushed; hair brushed, combed and pinned; eyes washed, shined and mas caraed; nails cleaned and sharp ened: there was little effort j neeoed (or left) to find the break fast table. Theer is was, surrounded by signs saying '-Just a little farther," and "Open the door wider, Rich ard." Next to the toast was a wee sign reminder "Today is the first day of second semester." It was a matter of fewer than 35 minutes to finish dressing, scrub the fried egg from my blouse, and lace my fingers into my gloves. The next hour I spent with one fist glued to the door knob while Mother went through the list of do's and don't. Kin dergarten and my last class of first semester were so long ago. Now Remember! Don't forget to ask the bus driver for change for my quarter; don't spend the change all in one v Place, but go across the street for .-.,.3. i,,, v ouiiie di me iei- lows in the front row, they're i-TODaoiy mere so the &rofessx will smile at them. Don't take more than three pages of notes lor the first session, Dad can't cf- Uird to spend fortunes on note books and ink. Off I went to the corner, there to stand on one shoe sole and then the other till the bus came. How happy I was to find the usual jam somewhat lessened, this time I didn't have to drag one foot along the curbing. Bark to the Campus In practically no time at all we were on campus, and the door! swung open. I craw led under, as i usual, and there I was in front I of the Temple. Everyone looked I so gay, so debonaire, so cheerful. ! All the booths in the Crib and the! Nook had evidently been full all morning. All the booths in tho Pines and the Hurdle wonlH evi dently be full all afternoon. I'd given my word, so I might as well show my faith bv livir.c un in i The judge had warned me about reniging. And Mother had men tioned necking. There I was in (lass. It had been a simple task of putting one foot above the other to find my self at the head of the steps. There was the fatal room, it's glass door beckoning. My mistake, that was Mr. Williams behind his glasses. Anyway, I was here at la:t. Yep. here I was. mv verv fi- class of the second semester. I had made it at last. No shirker. I, this early hour had been bad, but I A-as here. Vespers will be hrld in room 315 of the I'nion today at 5 p. m. and will feature Baptist Student Pastor Rev. C. B.
