Barlow Is Winner
Of 'Band' Contest
Over 1100 couples watched Har
riet Barlow, fourth semester edu
cation major led the Sammy
Kaye band Friday night at the
Senior Ball—and win an auto
graphed baton.:,.
• During Kaye's 'So You Want
to Lead a Band" feature, Miss
Barlow and three other students
each took the swing -and-sway ba
ton for one number. Musicians
followed every movement of the
baton and kept in rhythm with
the students' motions. Miss Bar
low, who led "Glow Little Glow
worm," was judged the best band
leader by Kaye; William O'Mal
ley, chairman of the dance, and
Lucy Barr, publicity chairman.
Other stud en t bandleaders,
chosen for their letters on "Why
I like to dance to Sammy Kaye,"
were William Miller, Ralph Turn
ley, and Pauline Christ.

Lectures
of Poe
By MARY LEE LAUFFER
lecture sponsored by the Depart
ment of German and the Grad
uate School.
Two of Poe's works, "The Laws
of Etiquette" and "The Canons of
Good Breeding" may be cited as
books Poe "got up," Schr'eiber
said;
Although the second book was
not popular it is now recognized
as a rare item, he said. "The Laws
of Etiquette" was successful, he
said, and consequently appeared
in several editions.
He said the books contained
axioms on conduct and advice on
personal habits. An unsigned ar
ticle in Godey's Ladies Book print
ed under the title "A Few Words
on Etiquette" appears to be the
work of Poe, Dr. Schreiber said.
Poe was a literary critic, he
said, and believed the analysis of
a book was a matter of mental
exertion.
He said Poe's letters were few,
but existing ones show a rather
"grim picture" of the "lusty ro
mancer" who makes no • mention
of social life or amusement.
Poe can be described as a
' gentleman and an author who
took pride in his station in life
although he has been abused, he
said.
His works reveal that Poe ex
pressed the convictions he lived.
Dr. Schreiber has published
books and articles dealing with
Goethe, Poe, and German ro
mance. He is curator of the Speck
Collection of Goetheana and has
published the first of a four-vol
ume catalogue about the collec
tion on Goethe.

TUESDAY, - MAY 19, -1953
College Senate
Will Consider
Exam Proposal
The proposal to eliminate ..final
examinations for graduating sen
iors will be considered. by the
College Senate sometime next
month, according to Gail Shaver,
head of the final examinations
committee.
If it is approved, seniors with
a 2.0 average in any course will
not be required to take that ex
amination. This rule would per
tain to all curriculums.
The committee was appointed
through Cabinet Projects Council
early in February. They have
sent questionnaires to over 100
schools to find out what other
universities do about the seniors'
finals situation. Approximately
25 per cent of the schools an
swered that they had complete
elimination of finals or similar
alternatives.
' Elimination 'of fina l s would
probably result in a higher senior
class average, said Shaver, by
creating incentive for bet t e r
marks. It would also alleviate the
graduation time rush.
Assisting Shaver on the com
mittee are Priscilla Judge, Sally
Eisen, Allan Williams, and Jack
Goodrich.
