Diseussing the entrance of the pro fessor and the. scholar into the exit'. cils of government, Dr. Hetzel believes that "the Brain Trust" has been defin itely established and that no Sherman Anti-Trust 'act or power of legalistic action will be .able, to dislodge-it." Having fount .this new -role to their liking; and having gained confid aneoLof.,.the:,.,;Arney.lcan,..imtiple,'th 'scholars will sof'find it easy to relin quish it, he thinks.. Educational Planning :Islceded . . Dr. Hetzel .is also of the opinion that an even 'greater demand will be Made upon our educational institutions under the changed order. ' With the inheritance of free time now being granted us, education must not stand Complacently by, but"will have to re consider attitudes and practices hav ing to do with service outside the cam pus walls; the president believes. Dr. Hetzel notes with delight the new boards to further research that the government has set up, and points out that although a highly system atized control of educational institu tions may be the result of the new order, the demands of industry and commerce will nean the development of -a constantly enlarging contact with the world outside the college gates.

Student Leaders Voice Approval Of Complimentary Dance Tickets "Complimentary tickets to the ma jor dances should not be eliminated because they stimulate interest in student governmental work," John T. Ryan president' of the Student Board said yesterday in answering numer ous student : protests on the subject, The number of tickets allowed to members of the various dance com mittees has raised the greatest ob jection, and Ryan frankly admitted that they were given as patronage; rather than because the amount of work on a dance committee warrants receiving them. However, he stated that this patronage serves far .more significant purpose than as a' re ward for political "heeling." "We are credited with having one of the finest student governments of any 'school in the East. This excel lence is due entirely to the interest and enthusiasm of the students, in politics. Naturally an incentive is necessary ,to create this enthusiasm, and this incentive is now provided by giving dance comps to students who help most in the campaign for the winning clique," Ryan said. Ryan continued by saying that Beebe, Iturbi, Gray, Lent, Skinner Added To Artists' Series 1934 Artists' Course The following is a list of artists and entertainers who will appear in the 1934 Artists' Course series: Cleveland Symphony Orchestra— • Feb. 7 William Beebe, lecturer—Feb. 27 Jose Iturbi, pianist—March 20 Alexander Gray 'l2, baritone' and Sylvia Lent, violinist—April 17 Cornelia Otis Skinner, dramatic interpreter May 22 BOOTH SELECTIONS SET FOR THURSDAY Senior Ball Committee To Make Drawings on February 8; $5 Named as Fee Under the supervision of Charles J.

No Charge for Catering No separate charge will be made for catering service at the affair, ac cording to Duffy, who stated that a central booth will be utilized for the serving of, refreshments.. The •boOth fee as' set by, the committee will be -five--alarSi4ayaWa.:at4her.tima-of . . draWing.. In order that placards bearing the fraternity insignias may be construc ted in time for use at the affair, it is imperative that every house cooperate with the committee in its effort to ob tain an advance estimate of the num ber of booths which will be taken for the dance, Duffy said. Concerning developments in th e plan of decorations, Duffy said that Bert Lawn's Park Central Orchestra, which is now at the Hotel Plain in New York City, will be housed in a specially constructed 'shell' done in white and gold with a contrasting back drop of royal blue.

William mee, soprano, will accompany the club as the featured soloist while ; Marion G. Blankenship '36 will play' several selections on the harp. some reward like this is a necessary essential for "open politics," such as we have here. The recent student convention here was practically unan-„' imous in its belief that a systeM of ' open politics was the most satisfac tory possible. Alan It. Warehime, chairman of they Junior Prom committee and manager-I elect of football, approved of giving' tickets to managers. "Managers here work hard four months out of every year for three years and receive no monetary return. They are supposed to be honest, and they are honest, Therefore it is only fair that they re-, mire some sort of recognition for their work," he declared. Jacob R. Stark '3l, chairman of the Inter-class Finance committee and in charge. of the committee to mem., mend persons to receive tickets, stated thut the number of "comps" had been cut from 200 to a little more than 100. in the past four years. He said that,' they had now reached the point where if a further reduction was to be made,j it would have to be drastic. He i pointed u'ut that if one manager is. to be dropped, the rest of them must! be dropped akx,.
