Since such a shortage of well qualified male teachers has de veloped within this state, out of state teachers are being sought, Guy Phillips of the education de partment announced.

Di Senators Favor Petition To Extend Christmas Holidays Resolution Suggested by Lodge Carried by 12 to Three The visitors to the Di Senate meeting last night were success ful in carrying through the reso lution suggested ' by Lee Lodge that the administration be peti tioned to "extend the Christmas holidays to January 4."

The. vote of the eleven visitors and four officers result ed in a 12 to 3 acceptance of the motion.

Winning Group Kurt Jooss, creator and direc tor of the Jooss European bal- et, which will appear here to morrow night on the student en tertainment series," may not look ike a revolutionist. Yet it has oeen said ms mnuence in tne dance world brought about the abandonment of many old forms, traditions, and beliefs.

They want the power, but I think Batista will be too strong," continued Puig.
