chosen to begin aeoate this alt-r

ernoon against the legislation,
which came up during the spe-

Senator Connally (D-Texas) ,
leader of the opponents, indi-
cated that debate would last "at is
least a week or 10 days," but
declined to forecast how much
longer it may become necessary
tvr the discussion on this bill.
Favoring the proposal, Re-
publican Leader McNary said
he understood the southern
group hoped to continue talking
until pressure for the adminis-
tration's program became so
strong that the anti-lynching
measure would be dropped. He
asserted a filibuster might pro-
long the congressional session
considerably beyond its sched-

The only remaining drawback

to be raised by voluntary con-
triDutions.

Comic Opera To
Be Given Sunday
Night In Hill Hall
Hal Gordon WU1 Present Gilbert
And Sullivan Production,
"Pirates Of Penzance"
Following numerous requests
for additional Gilbert and Sulli
van presentations, Hal Gordon
will present the comic opera,
"Pirates of Penzance," or the
"Slave of Duty," performed by
the D'Oyly Carte opera company,
Sunday night in Hill hall at 8:30.
Response to the first D'Oyly
Carte opera, "The Mikado," was
so satisfactory that numerous
other of the company's Gilbert
and Sullivan presentations will
be given during the winter ser
ies. The programs are given by
the same organization that pre
sented the summer and fall "Mu
sic Under the Stars" concerts.
Selection
In selecting "Pirates of Pen
zance," which has been especial
ly recorded for Victor under the
personal sunervision of "Rurart
D'Oyly Carte, the committee has
chosen what is considered the
most popular of the Gilbert and
Sullivan operas. It is especially
noted for its catchy, rollicking,
and familiar melodies.
The performance is complete,
with few cuts in dialogue. Dic
tion of the stars is so clear that
little difficulty should be ex
perienced in following the opera
even by one unfamiliar with it.
Chairmen
Call was issued yesterday for
all committee chairmen of the
Freshman Friendship council to
hold meetings of their groups
sometime before Monday night,
when weekly sessions will be re
