A report filed with J. S. Ben nett, director of the operation office, states that only one-fourth of the damaged rooms were re painted, and of these all dam ages were caused by carlessness on the part of the occupants. "We know that it is the fault of the students." said Bennett, "as the dormitory rooms were com pletely painted in September be fore the dorms opened." 1k. 0' i I Reflects Service Life sified his age to enter West Point. The Cadet went to a colonel with his confession, and Ihe colonel in turn consulted Pearson. "When he asked me what to do," smiled the General.

The stu dents, he said, will have an excell ent opportunity to hear talks on subjects that they might otherwise never have the time or chance to hear discussed.

' Smith Blasts Proposed Legislature Roger Smith, University Party candidate for freshman class pres ident, has stated that he sees no purpoie in establishing a Fresh man Legislature. "As I see it, the only reason for this proposal is to give freshmen a chance to participate in Student Government. However, the only positions closed to freshmen now are the twenty-five seats in the Student Legislature which prev iously were elected in the fall," Smith stated. He added that there are count-! less positions in Student Govern-! ment available to freshmen, which! offer valuable training and exper-j ience for future service. In addi I tion, he said that it is possible for freshmen to be appointed to the legislature in fact, there is cur rently an appointed freshman legislator. In conclusion, Smith stated, "The Legislature, as proposed, has no valid and constructive purpose,; nn ,. . , j , no direct powers, and no need for; . ' . , existence. It would only add un necessarily to the already over burdened Elections Board." ' TICKETS LEFT There are 400 date tickets left for Saturday's home game with tile University of Virginia.

"There is no science without technology, and no technology without science," the noted scientist informed his audience. "Do not measure science as to its applications or technology, but 'Art Of Atonality' Slated Sunday By Petite Muslcale "The Art of Atonality," a pro gram of the works of Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg and Anton Von Webern, will be presented by Ethel Casey, Sunday night. It is sponsored by the Petite Musicale The program will be at 8 p m in the main lounge of Graham Memorial. Schoenberg developed the atonal technique. This music is written using a twelve tone scale rather than the regular seven tones. The chief difficulty in understanding this music is because the seven tone system is almost invaribly used in all musical literature familiar to our culture. Schoenberg said of atonalitv form in the arts and, especially in j music, aims primarily at compre-! hensibility. Composition with 12 1 tones has no other aim that this. ! Many composers today object ! to the restrictions that atonal i t music enforces. It can be handled only by the best prepared and sion devoted to the economy of the South in the last 25 years.
