of the panel disclussing their
particular view points on the situ
ation. 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 was known
as the "middle class norm.lt gave
away in the depression years to
a norm wherein people could
marry without a dime and both
normwork to support the lamiiy.
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.

a scientist, writer and lecturer in
his role as "interpreter of the
North." He has published eighteen

Resentment
"Veterans feel that the main
duty of a university should be to
train him for adult participation
in the modern world. 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.

position. Traditional Concerto Featured
A traditional note, however,
will highlight the program when
Mr. Spivakovsky performs the
famous Mendelssohn violin con
certo with the orchestra. The
scheduling of this concerto is
particularly appropriate since or
chestras throughout the world
are observing the 100th anni
versary of the death of Felix
Mendelssohn with performances
of his symphonies, overtures and
this concerto.
The concerto, sometimes called
"the most perfect of all violin
concertos," was itself completed
100 years ago last November
when the composer was 37 years
of age. 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.
Choir, Organisl
At Vespers Today
Vespers today will feature a
period of quiet meditation with a
musical background. Camilla
Palmer, vespers chairman stated
that, "Vespers is to be a period
of meditative music in which those
attending will be free to sit and
contemplate the many ideas, those
enlarging on old concepts and the
completely new and revolutionary
thoughts, which have ben pre
sented by the renowned speakers
who have been with us in this past
period of Religion In Life Week."
The Vespers Choir will open
and close the service and Frank
Gorton, vespers organist, will fur
nish the background music, fea
turing Bach's Prelude and the
Fugue in B sharp minor also.
Vespers are held at 5:00 in the
Episcopal church, 13th and R
street.
