F.T.A. Combines
Supper and Meeting
The Future Teachers of America
held a meeting and supper Friday,
the 29th. The speaker, Miss Heea
Haider, from Calcutta, highlighted
some of the aspects of education
in India today. She emphasized
that under India's present demo
cratic system great strides have
been made toward educating the
public. Both boys and girls have
an equal opportunity for educa
tion. The literacy rate has risen a
great deal since India gained its
independence in 1947, at which
time the total literate population
was less than one per cent. The
rate of'literacy is still low but im
proving yearly. One of the major
difficulties encountered in "the edu
cational system is that India used
14 different languages and many
dialects. An attempt is being made
to standardize the language to
Hindi, now the official language of
India, in order to unify the means
of education on a national basis.
Miss Haider stressed that the rural
areas where ninety per cent of the
population are located have the
poorest facilities for education and
need much improvement.

"Winter Wonderland" Begins
Tonight At 8:00 P.M.
By GRAHAM ALLEN
He mounted the steps, opened
the massive wooden door and step
ped into the dimly lit lobby. Peo
ple were milling about in the small
area, taking off their coats and jab
bering excitedly about the night's
coming entertainment. The girl at
the desk spoke to him and said,
"Thirty-five cents, please." He dug
into his pocket and pulled out a
quarter and a dime, handed them
to the girl and started up the stairs
leading to the second floor. An
old couple in front of him was
moving slowly as elderly people
do, and he listened as they talked.
"Isn't this production a fine
thing for the Men's Student Gov
ernment to present, John? All the
proceeds will go to finance a men's
student project."
"Yes, Martha."
He reached the first landing and
quickly mounted the second flight
of stairs. The usher handed him a
program as he entered the audi
torium. He found a seat near the
front and settled back to wait for
the curtain to open.
He glanced at his program. It
read "Winter Wonderland," a pro
duction—Friday, December 6, at
8:00 p.m.
At the top of the second page
was the title of the theme: "Winter
Wonderland" the hope for the
coming of Santa Claus.
Below this he read: "As the
hopeful elves who are anticipating
the coming of Santa are: Sue
Drake, Carol Mcßane, Lester
Parker and Lee Andrews."
Three attractive girls wiggled
by. As they passed he heard one
say:
"Ruth Rollins told me she would
sing tonight."
"Yes, and that hilarious pair, Ray
Albright and Janet Glover are go
ing to do a humor bit by Dave
Morrah."
"Speaking of humor, don't for
get Craven Mackie and his act for
tonight," the third one enjoined.
He unglued his eyes from the
retreating posteriors and refocused
on his program. After scanning the
sheet, he could be heard mumbling
in an unbelieving tone:
"Rob Marsh—do a serious black
face routine? Must be a misprint!"
"Hm, a vocal by Caroline Primm
and Tom Sisk. That should be
good. I have always enjoyed Car
oline's soft, throaty voice."
He folded his program, un
buttoned his ivy coat and stuffed
the paper into his inside pocket.
The mental image of one of the
posters that he had seen about the
campus flashed into his mind.
"M. S. G. Sponsors a Program of
Humor, Music, Song, and Dance."
"Should be a fine program," he
thought.
The house lights began to dim
and the crowd ceased their jabber
ing. The curtain rippled and then
squeeked open. The spots flashed
on and a wondorous gasp from the
audience as the dazzling scenery
burst into view. The M. S. G.'s
"Winter Wonderland" was on the
boards.

Liberalism
.each year. This particular Seminar
will include mostly college students
from the South-East.
The problem concerned and be

ples on which solutions are to be
made.
The preliminary schedule for the
Seminar on Thursday includes a
tour of the United Nations, the
presentation of the problem by
Sydney Bailey, a member of the
