her own choice as to which informal
party she wishes to attend first.

After receiving the. date card, the
rushee will fill it out, indicating when
she wishes to attend the informal par
ties of the different houses. Her ac
ceptance must be in the fraternity
boxes in'Room 305, Old Main, by noon
Thursday.
Panhellenic . Council ruling allows
each house to have one informal date
with each rushee either Thursday or
Friday and one formal date on Sat
urday. Neither the formal or the in
formal, party may, last longer than
two hours. Each', - rushee is :allowed
to attend as many informal parties as
Inai;Utridid only We'
formal parties. , The formal . parties
at each house will be from ..5:30 to 7
o'clock and ficim 8 to 10 o'clock Sat
urday night. •

Ballet-Hoo' Attempt
Seen in Players'
Dance Plans
The Stravinsky ballet which had
been scheduled as a feature for the
Players' production. of "The Sunken
Bell" February , 21 and 22, bus been
disclosed as 'a "ballet-hoo" stunt by
J. Ewing Kennedy,'dance director for
the show.
Giving all due respect to a Stravin
sky ballet, it was decided that an in
terpretive dunce would not only -be
snore .possible r with the' available fa
cilities, but would also be more popu
lar.
"It is not going td he a ballet,"
Kennedy stated, "but an interpretive
dance which will try .to capture the
mood of the' play. There will be only
eight or ten girls in the dance group
and, anyhow, .what would Dick Al
len be doing, in a ballet?"
Arthur . C. • Cloetnigh, director of
the production stated, "It is entirely
up to the 'Spectator ilhether he takes
the play purely as a human lavish
story or whether he reads philosophy
and mysticism intuit." .
Library Rules Stated
All borrowers of books will be re
quired to iill out call slips with their
names and addresses from now on.
Willard P. Lewis, College librarian,
announced today. This action has
been made necessary by the vastly
increased circulation of boas, espe
cially to extension and special stu
dents, and others whose names do 1:01

Religious De-emphasis
Attacked by Van Kirk
Dr. Waller W. Van Kirk, secretary
of the Pederal Councilof the Church
es of Christ 'in America, spoke on
"Putting a Soul Back into the World"
at tire first chapel service of the sec
ond semester in Schwab auditorium
Sunday.
"The secret of our topsy-turvy liv
ing is that we have reversed the pro
cess of Isaac's theory of living which
put religion first and domestic life
and business last," said Dr. Van Kirk.
"We have given our primary concern
to business and we are now paying
for it. It is in the law and nature of
things that if we neglect a higher be
ing than ourselves we will suffer the
consequences."
Dr, Van Kirk disputed If. G. Wells'
statement that "the future is going
to be a race between education and
catastrophe" on the grounds that the
most highly educated men caused the
World War. We must make up our
minds to give prior consideration to
religion if we ever want to escape ' ,
from this maze, concluded the speaker.

Kindler is Noted 'Cellist
I Called the greatest of the younger
conductors by many critics, Kindler
is a fine 'cellist in his own right, and
lin the National Symphony Orchestra
ihe has given furl rein to his creative
I instinct. For many years he appear
ed as guest conductor with such orch
estras as the New York Philharmonic,
• the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Paris,
the Vienna, and other European orch
estras.
Unsatisfied with these irregular ap
pearances, the young conductor under
took the task of developing a syin
phonic organization of his own and
now five years later the National
Symphony; Orchestra is recognized as
one of the leading orchestras of the
country. That it so quickly yon its
now unquestioned place as the finest
young orchestra in the United States
is a tribute to Bans Kindler's dynam
ic spirit, his intelligence as a director
of men, and his extraordinary musical
genius.
College Laboratories
Own Finest X-Ray
Sets in U. S.
The crystal structure laboraterien
of the School of Chemistry and Phys

plete X-Ray refraction equipment in
the country.
The laboratories, directed by Dr.
Wheeler P. Davy, of the School of
Chemistry and Physics, a noted crys
. ta!Cogist, now have in them eight
complete operating ',K-ray detraction
co t fits. Great precautionary meas
ures must he taken at all times when
working with the high potential elec
tricity upon which the machines op
erate.
It would take $30,000 to duplicate .
the intricate apparatus—some of
which is u gift to the School, some of
which was bought, and some of which
was constructed in the laboratories.
Transition temperatures in alloys,
structure of solutions, and the struc
ture of the iron atom are some a the
things studies by means of the X-ray
machinery. Most of this work is be
