For Singles. In the opening comment, Dr. Bowman emphazied that the panels efforts would be directed mainly to these persons who were still single. "We do not wish to be party to the breaking up of any happy homes," stated Dr. Bowman. He emphasized that people who go to college lay them sevles open for great costs and some seemingly unreasonable limitations on behavior. "Getting married involves similar choices continued Dr. Bowman, whether to marry and pay one cost or to postpone and pay another cost." "I am in favor of postponement and the payment of whatever fees it demands. Dr. Hill compared the pre requisites for marriage of the so called middle ages with the pre sent situation. "Once it was neces sary to have considerable more eligibility salary, savings, long courtship and engagement ex plained Dr. Hill.

This situation of college people to day is one where there may be some savings to dip into, there couples must compromise to dif ficult housing situation and both working. Five Questions. It was the impression of Dr, Duvall that the woman was the one who pays and she must make the major adjustment. She thought that the problem was summed up in five questions, namely: 1. Am I really in love with him? 2. Am I ready for marriage? 3. How much do I care for my education? 4. Am I strong enough to take it? 5. Am I flexible enough to forego any dreams? Dr Duvall stressed that the col lege man was not a "tested pro duct and the woman who mar ries him must realize that he has yet to prove himself in a chosen field. In response to a question by Dr. Meadows, all members of the panel agreed that the problem of colege marriages would continue to be one ten and twenty years from now due to the increasing number of young people going to school, increasing popularity of marriage, marriage provoking panels and education toward bet ter adjusted marriages and the toward companionship. program on the campus.

He does not feel that this can be accomplished under the present system where he is living and studying in an imposed mental vacum," according to S. M. Vinocour, in a survey of 100 colleges and universities (for Newsweek Magazine). Vinocour. director of forensies at the University of Nevada and a former serviceman, interviewed ex-servicemen, both teachers and students, and noted these veteran gripes: The Ex-GI wants to learn more about local, national, and inter national problems. Since he re gards himself as a mature citizen, he dislikes any hero atmosphere as a hindrance to acquiring an education. Fearful of an imminent depres sion or recession, he is eager for training for a specific job, and re sents wasting time on inconse quential facts. Many resent prof fered courses such as "The Minor Poems of Milton." "Beowulf," and "Mathematics of Agriculture." He feels instructional methods which are incompetant, antiquated, and un-realistic should be done away with. The veteran resents restrictions which force him to bow to upperclassmen, many of whom are several years his junior. The vets request: more courses in radio technique, business ad ministration, pre-law, pre-medi-cine, pre-dentistry, more realistic English courses, courses in mathe matics, chemistry, agriculture, economics and trade, and more modern and more practical mining and engineering courses.

Last spring, the Univer sity Choral Union performed Mendlessohn's oratorio, "The Elijah," in a century commemor ation. Soloist's Techniques Spivakovsky's performance of the Tchaikovsky concerto in New York last season was called by the Times, "an exciting one in which the bravura passages were attacked for all they were worth, and the lingeringly melodic ones spun out with warmth and rich tone." Noted for his uncon ventional but effective bowing technique. Spivakovsky has at tracted wide critical acclaim throughout the country in five brief seasons.
