ORGAN RECITAL School Bulletins To Supplant General University Catalogue Russian Sinqers Present Varied; vjroup ur oongs Program of Singers Exhibits Qualities of Harmony, Beau ty and Cheerful Manner ill. i " "I enjoy reading books about girls my age who are choosing a career and who have many hard ships to go through with," was the answer that a 15-year old Chapel Hill high school gave to Miss Nora Beust's class in "Adolescent Reading" when she was asked what books she liked. The class, which is being con ducted by the University schoo of library science, recently made a survey oi tne junior class ot the local high school in order that they might learn the books generally read and liked by stu dents of that age. Letters The boys and girls wrote let ters discussing their hobbies, the things which interested them most, and the books which they read. One young man wrote: 'I am interested in tennis, foot ball, scouts, Hi-Y, music, drama tics, student government and the prevention of war." Another student wrote : "I am now reading a story aDout . a girl who had to face a great many religious problems. This book is one of the 'Elsie' books." The results of the study prov ed to be as surprising as they were amusing. S t r an g e 1 y enough, the book reviews submit ted by the class were unusually well-written, and the taste of the (class in books was very modern and intelligent.

Siberian Singers, directed by Nicholas VasiliefT, presented a program Of songs ranging from 11th century church chants to gypsy folk tunes: - 'v " r-rr" Dressed in robes of monks, the singers opened the program with three religious songs and two ancient chants. Their voices blended together in one harmo nious whole, sometime as soft as a whisper, then rising in full throated volume to express the soul of the former Russian Christanity. ' The last group of songs before the intermission was composed folk songs and traditional music of Russia, at which time the singers discarded their robes and appeared in the gayly colored costumes of their native country. "Pirate Song," a Volga legend of the 17th century, "Siberian Prisoner's Song," and "Soldier's Song," were the most interest ing of this group, each reflecting (Continued on page two) Flaunting in the face of the camnus a couple of smooth draw ings by Old East's Frank Trot- man, rnu scmnnan s cream oi spring, and Editor Lansdale's in- sistant crabbing, the next-to-last Buccaneer for the current edi torship appeared last night.

E. golfer and dresser, Dick Harris, president of the Woman's association, Jane Ross, junior class president, Joe Fisher, and editor of the Daily Tar Heel Phil Hammer. Lansdale's editorial painted a gloomy summary of a hectic year's activities and dwindled into comic dispair with a word picture of Dean House and Dean Bradshaw duet-ing on mouth organs. Regular departments, besides numerous short poems.and draw ings, include Casual Correspon dent, Hazel Beacham's "Scene and Obscene," "We Quote.l' "Bandstand," by Dick Mosier and Eugene Palamar.

It is with this in mind that the commerce library at tempts to make available to stu dents in commerce a varied and comprehensive list of periodi cals and services," stated Miss Guelda Elliott, commerce libra rian. The commerce library receives 254 periodicals and services. Fifteen of these publications are scholarly journals, publish ed in England. Germany, Switz erland, France, and America.

Songs in which Dr. Fel- i mm lowes accompanies nimseii on the lute, and records made by the English Singers and St. George's Singers under his direction are used as illustrations. Dr. Fellowes ranks as one of the world's foremost scholars on Elizabethan music and is the editor of "The English Madri gal School" besides being au Iior of numerous studies of the period. This lecture-recital, given through the courtesy of the Music Division of the Library of Congress under the provis ion of the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation, will be open to all. A second lecture by Dr. Arn old A. Blake on "The Music of East and West" will be present ed during the week of April 20. Bulletins issued by the indi vidual schools of the University will supplant the general cata logue this year, Ben Husbands, associate registrar of the Uni versity, announced recently. Each of the major subdivi sions of the University will pub lish its. own booklet, giving in formation about the department, its work, its expenses and some general information for new comers to the University. Freshmen Prospective freshmen will be sent the catalogue of the gen eral college, which will contain instructions for registering and entering the University. Advan ced and graduate students will get their information from the bulletins or the individual schools in which they intend to study. Directions for freshmen will also be included in the cata logue of the school of pharmacy, which is the only school besides the general college open to first year men. The bulletin system has sev eral advantages over the old gen eral catalogue which combined information about the entire University in one volume, Hus bands explained. Bulletins are more economical and more con venient than large catalogues, he said. The cost of editing and printing several small booklets is considerably less than that of publishing a . large volume. Be sides this, men wishing informa tion about the University can find it with much less difficulty in a small pamphlet, treating on ly the subject in which they are interested, than in a general cat alogue, the major part of which would be of no use to any per son who had an idea of what he wanted to study. , Up-to-Datte The small booklets-can be re vised quickly and reprinted fre quently, thus keeping their in formation up-to-date, and the cost of mailing is much less for the pamphlets than for the cat alogue. There will be some over-lapping, Husbands said, but most of the general information will be included in the catalogue of the lower college, thus obviating (Continued on last page) Final Production The Carolina Playmakers will give their final production of their three new plays to night in the Playmakers thea tre at 8:30.
