That vocalist is Bea (pronounced "Bee") Wain. Part of Clinton's fame is probably due to Miss Wain's ability to swing the classics. Among her best known ren ditions are the very popular "Martha", the recording we went wild about last spring ; "My heart ; : at . Thy Sweet Voice," which music appreciation stu dents will recall comes from Saint Saens' "Samsqn et Dalilah;" and "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls."

Starting off by saying that he want ed the audience to forget that he was a poet for a moment and that he had certain political sympathies so that he could talk to them simply as a human being, Auden remarked, "Though we often behave very badly, in all of us underneath it all there is this wish to live and think peacefully. There are, he said, only two philo sophies of life, one being true and the other false. The false is called, philo sophically, dualism. It says that man has a body and a soul and that the soul is good and the body, passion, is bad." Or it reverses this with Hitler and Rousseau and says that energy and feeling are good and the intellect is bad. The true philosophy is monism or "organized common sense"v It re cognizes no sharp divisionj of body and soul, no body as distinct from soul. For Auden Jesus was an exponent of this monist philosophy in general human conduct, Blake, Voltaire and, Goethe were its exponents in culture and par tly Marx was its exponent in the po litical realm. Goodness, Auden says, js found in the scientist conducting an experiment, the doctor healing a wound, the worker making a building. "Peo ple" he added "accept dualism because they lack confidence in their ability to put this world right." The dualist often escapes by saying that good and descent living is only possible in an another world. PROGRESS Auden said that progress was a fact, however slowly it revealed itself to us. The Roman Empire gave to the con sciousness of men the idea of political unity for the then known world. The medieval church gave to men the idea (Continued on last page) MAY QUEEN TO BE CHOSEN MONDAY Voting Will Be From 10:30 To 5 In YMCA Monday has been set for the election of the May Queen and her court who will rule over the May day festivities sponsored by Alpha Kappa Gamma.
