Kreisler "Never Bothers 9 About Care Of His Hands ' World Famed Violinist Is Scheduled For Appearance Here Tuesday Evening Acclaimed by audiences the world over. Fritz Kreisler, famous violinist, will appear here at Memorial hall Tuesday night at 8:30.. His appear ance will be sponsored by Phi Mu Al pha, honorary music fraternity. Contrary to stories told about the care many violinists and pianists lav ish on their hands, Kreisler said: "I have never bothered myself about my hands. During my whole life, I've never treated them as if they were anything special. It's the feame way with my violins. I won't let them be a burden to me." Also, Kreisler has adopted a more or less passive atti tude toward life. He believes in tak ing life just as it comes, living on the todays, and never the yesterdays or tomorrows. Combine the peculair artistic attri- of the Slav with the gay, ur bane quality, the polish and sophisti cation of the Viennese; add to this two more diverse elements, the violinists HORNER SUCCEEDS WALT SPEARMAN AS PU OFFICIAL English Teacher Will Hold Post For Two Years Professor George Horner . of the English department has been appoint ed by the administration to serve -as faculty member of the Publications Union board for the next two years, succeeding Walter Spearman, journal ism professor, whose term of office closed at yesterday's meeting of the board.

To -Play For Grail-Dorm Dance Fortunate Gentlemen May Now Give Coeds Dose Of Own Medicine By SANFORD STEIN "I'm awfully sorry to have kept you waiting, Georgia, but I simply couldn't get my tie fixed right and the part in my hair is a perfect mess. "Oh dear, Judy, I just know my after-shaving powder isn't on rights Is my chin shiny?" "Wait a minute, Martha, I forgot to sign out. And the dorm man ager is very strict." These, or similar phrases, will be uttered by those fortunate males who will have the pleasure of giving coeds a dose of their own medicine when New Woman's Dorm number one (popularly known as Kennison hall or Corn-House-on-the-Cobb) gives a for mal leap year dance tomorrow night from 9 to 1 o'clock to the strains of Charlie Wood and his orchestra. Miss Nancy .Taylor (who is famous for her nightly social gatherings in the hall way outside the library reference room) and Miss Mary Jackson are in charge of arrangements for the dance FAMOUS NUMBERS Between 9:30 and 10 tomorrow night, all boys' dormitories and fra ternities will be beseiged by those sweet young creatures who have made 6091, 6096 and 3071 three numbers as internationally famous as 10 Downing street or 1026 Conti street. The girls, in short, will be the escorts and, after having someone inform their dates that they are waiting, will undergo the ordeal of pacing the vestibules or the outside steps of the various dorms and f rat houses until the desired males have decided that their respective toilettes are complete. And most of the boys invited have revealed that, unfortunately, it will take them at least a half-hour after their escorts arrive before they'll be ready. Those coeds who have bravely des cended into the wilds . of the lower quadrangle for their dates are as sured of the usual hearty reception, not to mention various delicate com pliments and melodic vocal sounds, usually accorded anything in skirts under 60 that happens to stray within i that sacred court. If the boys care for something to eat or drink before the (Continued on page 2, column S) Berryhill Denies Epidemic Of Colds Despite Sick List Despite recent infirmary lists num bering in the 60's Dr. W. R. Berryhill yesterday declined to call the present prevalence of colds on the campus an epidemic. "It is true that there are more students sick with colds than usual this winter, and many of the colds have developed into flu and even pneu monia. However, the illness of 60 out of 3500 students does not warrant the announcement of an epidemic," he said yesterday. Dr. Berryhill advocated three pre cautions. He advised, first, that all crowds and gatherings such as movies and dances should be avoided as much as possible; second, that attention should be given to a cold as soon as it is contracted; third, that everyone with a cold should avoid all exercise. 53 PATIENTS Fifty-three patients were confined to the infiirnlary yesterday.
