O'Neill's self-confessed favor

a credit to the principals that in

While they failed sometimes to
be entirely convincing, or to lend
adequate clarity to masterful

definitely more than a noble try.

Critic's Praise
Internationally acclaimed as a
conductor, composer and violin
ist, Enesco has conducted major
orchestras in the United States,
Canada, London and Paris. Early
in his areer, he served as court
violinist to the Queen of Rou
mania, Carmen Sylva, who was
herself an accomplished musician.
Olin Downes music critic of
the New York Times has written
that Enesco "conducts with a
mastery calculated to win the ap
proval of audience and orchestra
alike. His knowledge is matched
by his capacity to get what he
desires from the players. He is,
beyond doubt, one of the greatest
musicians of his day."

Late Permissions
Two o'clock permissions for
Military Ball have been granted
to all coeds by WSGA Senate in
a reversal of last week's decision.
Taking into consideration the fact
that the band had already been
signed to play from 9 p. in. until
I a. m., Senate decided to allow
the late permission.
In the previous meeting Senate
stated that special permission
would only be given for dances
on big weekends which all stu
dents can attend. Military Ball
rickets are limited.
Suzanne Romig, president of
lATSGA, asked that in the future
all groups desiring late dance
permission contact WSGA Senate.
Discussion on limiting the num

up in the House of Representa
