Broadway Dancer Returns to Teach
Elizabeth Sherbon, former professional Broadway dancer and choreographer, returns to KU after a 29 year absence to become an instructor of dance and head of Tau Sigma, honorary dance fraternity.
Miss Sherbon has had 15 years dancing experience in New York with such notables as Martha Graham, Jean Erdman, and Welland Lathrop. She was also in Hanya Holm's production of "Trend."
BORN IN IOWA, Miss Sherbon moved to Lawrence when she was four. Her mother taught child care in the home economics department.
Since leaving KU in 1932, Miss Sherbon received her Masters degree from the University of Iowa and has studied with Jose Limon, Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman.
Even while dancing professionally in New York, Miss Sherbon could not keep away from teaching. She was Martha Graham's assistant at Columbia University and New York University. She also taught three summers at the University of Colorado.
Miss Sherbon took several years off to teach at Gulf Park College in Gulfport, Miss. Before returning to KU, she taught part time at the University of Wichita.
She has been working on a new concept in choreography called labanotation. Labanotation is a system which uses symbols for writing dances similar to the use of notes in music.
LABANOTATION will enable dances to pass from generation to generation and allow copywriting of dances for the first time.
Miss Sherbon said a certificate was necessary before labanotation could be taught. She said she has one certificate and is working on her second.
The technique is now used on Broadway and by Fred Astaire.
Miss Sherbon plans to include it in Tau Sigma membership for the first time in many years. Interested students are invited to the three practice sessions which will be held

Senior Women To Discuss Keys
The use of senior keys will be discussed Friday when representatives from senior women's living groups meet to discuss senior women's privileges.
The senior key system began last fall. The system is not continued from year to year. At the beginning of every school year, the senior women decide what privileges they are to have.
Last year's plan required each senior woman who wanted a key to pay a one dollar deposit. The women were allowed to check out the keys after 5 p.m. The keys had to be checked in by 8 a.m. the following morning. No keys could be checked out after closing hours. The women had to have the written permission of their parents to obtain keys.
If the senior representatives decide to adopt the key plan this year, letters to parents of the prospective key-holders should be in the mail by next week. Emily Taylor, dean of women, said.
Kids Cost
NEW YORK — (UPI) — On the average, American couples spend $600 on each child during the first year of its life, according to Barron's magazine. Purchases of goods for children ranging up to 10 years of age amount to about $8 billion annually.
Trujillo Asks OAS Aid in Election
CUIDAD TRUJILLO, D.R., - (UPI)-Gen. Rafael Trujillo Jr. said last night the Organization of American States will be invited to supervise the presidential election in May.
The 33-year-old chairman of the Dominican Joint Chiefs of Staff also told newsmen that the OAS investigators now in this country may remain as long as necessary.
"I HAVE SAID THAT any OAS commission which remains permanently in this country would constitute direct intervention in the affairs of the Dominican Republic, but I have not said that the commission which is visiting us must leave in exactly two weeks," he said.
"On the contrary, they may remain as long as is necessary to conclude their investigation (of Dominican progress toward democracy).
"I understand that President (Joaquin) Balaguer is going to extend — or has already extended — an invitation to the OAS to supervise the elections in May."
TRUJILLO TALKED to newsmen at his beachfront home in Andres, 18 miles east of here. He wore a checked brown sport jacket, brown slacks, suede shoes, a white shirt and a black tie in token of mourn-
inv for his assassinated father.
Others present at the informal press conference included former Ambassador to Paris Porfirio Rubirosa, ex-Mayor Marcos Gomez of Ciudad Trujillo and Eduardo Morales, Dominican Consul General in New Orleans.
Trujillo rejected opposition demands that his entire family and Balaguer should get out of the Dominican Republic because they are reminders of the elder Trujillo's 30-year domination of the country.
HE SAID THAT IF all the Trujillos left the Dominican Republic there would be "an immediate military coup d'etat." If Balaguer also left, he said, the result would be "chaos."
"There are more Trujillos than there are members of some opposition parties," he said.
Trujillo also said that the air cadets who "huzzed" a mass meeting Sunday of members of the UCN opposition party will be disciplined, probably by temporary confinement.

WHY-
The Reason Is Simply This:
No one knows exactly how many of you students will choose to enroll in each course. The people responsible for guessing how many books should be ordered for each course do the best they can, and most of the time they guess very close.
BUT-Sometimes certain courses astound everyone and the enrollment in them goes way beyond expectations, or in some courses the guess is simply too small. And, out of nearly 1,000 courses, sometimes we plain goof on a few.
