How this relationship is estab lished, I cannot say, unless it is the fact that in Greece the dance came first, and that from it issued drama and music. Then you make an ecstatic reference to the 'health of the Greeks, and their worship of beauty! i According to Miss Enters it j is unnecessary to mention the list Of Notables For Human Relations Institute Increases; Zimmermann On Program Local Economist On Schedule For Second Day's Bill Will Present Economic Back ground for Institute's Gen eral Subject Beard, Iippman Or High To Get Bid For Opener Former President Hoover Also on Committee's List of Possible Speakers Virginia Spearrin Lee of Lockport, N.

Mime performers, according to Miss Enters were as much a part of the Greek theater of the fifty century B. C. as were the tragic plays. The Greek jmrme performer was his ' own dramatist, composer, musician, dancer, designer of costumes and of settings. "These were the mimes, from whose tradition Charlie Chaplin stems. In that popular theater, the tragic and Continued on last page) Dr. Erich W.

Under the classification of general reading, questions are asked to indicate the relative importance of their usual mo tive for reading, how many hours a week they spend read ing, and a list of outside acti vities that hinder them from reading as much as they would like. Cross-Section In order to get a cross-section of opinion on fiction reading, the blanks have asked the student or faculty member to estimate the number of books of fiction they read a year, where they get their copies, and if they would like the library to obtain more of them. From the survey, the school of library, science hopes to ob tain some valuable information that will assist them in making suggestions that will improve library circulation. According to the department, question naires should be returned before the end of next week since sta tistics of the survey , will be made then. .-
