The current. Artists' Course will

Increasing difficulties with
transportation, which may cut
down or eliminate entirely the
possibility of filling engagements
on the road, together with the un
dertainties that face the college
community in' the future, are sev
eral reasons why the course may
be eliminated until the war ends.
The effect of the $25,000 Ceiling
on earnings is also another factor,
the significance of which is not
entirely clear in its application to
the local situation, Dr. Marquardt
stated.
"Our local patrons are not al
