The new school will.consi music, and theatre arts and ai tecture, art education, and mus A committee appointed to pro pose a new administratiye organ ization for the arts states in a report to President Milton S. Eis enhower that the arts on this cam pus lack a forcefulness partly be cause they have been separated and isolated among the various colleges and curriculums. How ver, according to the committee, centrally administrated, the sep arate arts can be of more service to each other than they are at present. Also, the buildings and parts of buildings now housing these separate arts are inadequate and are crippling to the best expres sions of the respective programs. The committee recommends that plans be made for the con struction of a building suitable to house the departments con tained in the school and to supply a physical center for work. Under the new organization a department of art will replace the present section of fine and applied arts in the College of En gineering and Architecture. The department of music will continue to share certain joint faculty appointments with the department of music education. The department of theatre arts will develop programs in the theatre, dance, motion pictures, radio and television. The theatre will replace the present division of dramatics in the department of English litera ture, and the dance will be de veloped cooperatively with the department of women’s physical education. Motion pictures and radio and television will be developed co operatively in conjunction with other departments in the Univer sity concerned with these fields. A permanent director for the new school will be named at a later date. Engagements Howell-Landberg Mrs. Meyer K.

Doodads for desk decora tions: the greatest novel useful gad get to clear off your desk on cleaning day is the Pig Pen. Wrought iron coils atop 4 pig’s knuckles for holding letters and notes. A pen for a tail, they come in pink, black and brass you can squeal (they don’t), but they are $1 in iron, $1.50 in brass! And book rests —for table (dad’s paper, mo ther’s bills), for kitchen and for you, while you play bridge or knit—book stands upright —too bad, you just have to flip the pages!! Decorated most ap propriately to serve their pur pose, they’re most fun to give!! Don't set the world on fire But great strides are being made since the invention of the bulb and cigarette lighter —it’s called the match! And ETHELS has them most clev erly boxed in decorative wood en boxes that open 4 ways— confused, aren’t you? These are tiny stick matches that really make for great house warming gifts if you don’t take me too literally. Whose that D.P.? And we do mean displaced per son! Avoid last minute hunt for luggage when vacation time finally arrives—spy your bu n n y—sak in any storage room with a plastic or leather monogrammed luggage tag— a mere pittance, 85c. And so much more classic looking than a train station bag!—gotta go, takes time to hitch to the Point! See you at ETHELS!! 111 I. CAltlSl ail, • T*ii (•mu, ii. PAGE FIVE
