Sabicas To Entertain
On Campus Friday
Sabicas, a Spanish born fla
menco guitarist, will visit the
campus Feb. 25 for a concert.
Sabicas has soared to rich
acclaim from humble gypsy ori
gins by virtue of his “mastery of
his instrument”. The artist is
most noted for broadening the
range and scope of flamenco
music from folk to classic pro
portions.
Although the origins of flamen
co is mysterious it contains
subtle influences of Indian and
Arabic music as well as native
Spanish folk material. The result
of this combination is a very
colorful medium which is very
uninhibited in its emotions.
All of the performer’s musical
knowledge is self taught and he
has never had a form'al music
lesson. At the age of five he
made his debut with the company
of La Chelita at the El Dorado
Theatre in Madrid. Later he won
a first prize in a nationwide
guitar competition and launched
his professional career as a
result.
The concert will be presented
on campus Feb. 25 at 8:15 p.m.
Gotta Have A Job?

Miss Mildred English, admin
istrative official whose job it is
to help students who need em
ployment, told this reporter that
“any student who wants to work
can find a job.”
Miss English listed many firms
and different occupations as
sources for student employment.
She listed several jobs avail
able in warehouses, service sta
tions, clerical, bartenders, ac
counting, rate and billing for air
freight firms, and orderlies for
hospitals. In addition she has
some jobs to offer on a perman
ent basis. Still another opening
calls for someone proficient in
chemistry.
Miss English “tries to match
the job to the student, the
student’s hours, abilities, and
needs to the job.” Student in
terests are also taken into con
sideration and she tries “to
relate what your job calls for to
what you are majoring or inter
ested in.” “We have many more
requests than we can fill. We
have many demands in sales

In addition to these off campus
jobs students may obtain em
ployment 0 n campus. Good
example of this is student help in
the library and union.
Students can also confer with
Miss Elnglish concerning summer
employment. Student personnel
are always needed by the Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts to serve
as counselors or directors at
summer camps.
Any student who needs to earn
money should contact Miss En

Poet Visits Campus Today
Poetry readings sponsored by the Department of
English will continue today.
Stephen L. Mooney, author of Shakespeare’s Father
and Other Poems, Three Poems, and the forthcoming
News From the South, will read from his poems today at
11:30 a.m. in C-220. Besides his books, Mr. Mooney has
published numerous poems in the New Yorker, 'New
Republic, Carleton Miscellany, and Beloit Poetry Jour
nal.
Mr. Mooney’s newest volume. News From the South,
will be published in March by the University of Ten
nessee FTess. It is concerned with familiar subjects—
Birmingham, Selma, Philadelphia, Mississippi. “There is
far too little good poetry being written on such things as
the situation in the South, and Dr. Mooney’s poems
illuminate it in the way that only poetry can do,”
according to Louis D. Rubin.

On Nov. 28, 1965, Renee Terese

campus wags saying, “Boy, our
Mathematics Department sure
knows how to multiply.”
And statisticians in the de
partment were busy figuring the
probability of three members of
a 15-member department having
twins. Two members of the
department are unmarried and
should be eliminated from the
sample. ’That leaves 13 married
couples. If each of them had one
birth, odds are one in 2,500 that
there would be three sets of
twins, the statisticians said. ’The
chances of any one couple’s
having twins is one in every 88
births.

Change Gets
Student OK
In a not-even-close student
referendum a measure to estab
lish a campus code here was
defeated. In the same Wed. and
’Thursday voting students indi
cated strong approval of a sug
gested change in the school’s
academic calendar.
The code was defeated 264 to
162 white 367 students favored the
schedule change white only 49
opposed it.
A total of 415 students regis
tered to vote. However, 433 votes
were cast in campus code ballot
ing. 422 votes were counted in the
calendar change vote. Part of
this discrepancy can be attri
buted to votes cast by ni^
school students. ’There is no list
of signed names for these night
school voters.
The 90 per cent endorsement of
the calendar change should give
student leaders a powerful argu
ment when they approach con
solidated university officials ask
ing that the changes be made. It
is doubtful, however, that the
changes will be made any time
soon since any act such as this
must be uniform in its applica
tion and each branch of the
system must strongly favor it.
'The code which states that all
students enrolled here would be
“responsible for conducting him
self or herself as a gentleman or
lady at all times” needed, a two-
thirds vote for passage but
managed to poll only 39 per c«it.
