Ralph Marterie To Play For 3rd Nightclub Party
Ralph Marterie-and his orchestra will play for the third annual Nightclub Party, sponsored by the Student Union Activities, Feb. 10 in the Student Union ballroom.
Tickets, $2 a couple, will go on sale at the concessions stand in the Student Union lounge Jan. 29, the first day of enrollment.
Any organized house buying a block of 60 tickets may reserve a private room *off the Ballroom. Marterie's music will be piped to these rooms through a public address system. Reservations should be made with James Whaley, Jefferson, Mo., sophomore and general chairman of the dance.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
The Ballroom will be decorated to resemble a nightclub with tables placed around the ledge of the dance floor and on the balcony. Cigarette girls will walk through the crowd, and Catawa, packaged in pseudo-champagne bottles, will be served.
Whaley's committee members are James Aldrich, Great Bend sophomore, publicity; Anne Compton, Westfield, N. J. sophomore, tickets, and Daniel Welchons, Hutchinson freshman, decorations.
Last year Ralph Flannagan and his orchestra played for the Nightclub Party.
"If we attempt to eliminate pressure groups, we will destroy our freedoms of expression and assembly which are necessary for a successful democracy," said Kenneth Kofmhei visiting instructor of political science, at the political coffee sponsored by the YW-YMCA and SUA Wednesday.
Pressure Groups Called Necessary
"The term, pressure groups, is invidious." Mr. Koffmehl said. "We think of them as lobbyists, one degree removed from criminality. Although a few may still resort to the methods used in the past, it constitutes a minor fraction."
Pressure groups were defined by the visiting instructor as spokesmen of the people, operating through small staffs, who have certain common interests and work to see these promoted in the government.
Any organization, including religious denominations, mav function as a pressure group.Examples of current groups are the chambers of commerce, the American Legion, the CIO and AFL, the American Dental Association, and the YW-YMCA.
Operating in the three branches of government—executive, legislative, and judicial, the groups actually antedate the Constitution, but have expanded greatly in recent years.
In governmental agency pressure groups there is action and interaction between those promoting the program and the group on the outside.
"By use of direct appeal, electioneering, and propagandizing, the pressure groups also work in political parties and in governmental agencies," Mr. Kofmeh said. He considers the big city machines and, possibly the conservative Southern Democrats, as important groups within the political parties.
"The law which requires pressure groups to register their agents and where they get their funds is just a decoration—there are many loopholes." Mr. Kofmeh said. The law can easily be misinterpreted."

Grades To Be Out By Enrollment Date
Mechanical record keeping and compiling of grades made possible for the first time this year by the use of IBM machines will enable students to have an official record of their first semester grades when they begin enrollment for the spring semester, Monday, January 30.
Arrau's Artistry Well Received
Claudio Arrau, Chilean pianist, last night displayed the skill which has brought him fame all over the world as one of the greatest pianists. Mr. Arrau appeared in Hoch Auditorium as an attraction in the Concert Course series, sponsored by the School of Fine Arts.
Mr. Arrau opened the concert with Mozart's "Fantaisie in C Minor. Without interruption, he went from this selection to Mozart's "Sonata in C Minor." Other program numbers were "Sonata in C Major, Op. 53" by Beethoven and "Sonata in A Minor" by Mozart.
Mr. Arrau is on his 14th consecutive concert tour of this country and Canada.
Band Concert Due Sunday
He played a program of works by Mozart and Beethoven, and he was accorded several curtain calls by an appreciative audience. His last selection was the "Appassionata Sonata" by Beethoven. His expressive interpretation of this work was especially appreciated by the audience. He answered the prolonged applause by playing a movement from a Mozart work.
The 140-piece University Concert Band will present its winter concert at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in Hoch Auditorium. Student ID cards admit.

The band, directed by Russell L. Wiley, professor of band, will play eight numbers in the 90-minute concert.
The program includes "Overture for Band" by Mendelssohn; "Andante and Scherzo" by Barat, arranged by Edward L. Masters, assistant professor of band and orchestra; "George Washington Bridge" by Sebuman; "Military Symphony in F" by Gossee; "Lincolnshire Posy" by Grainger; "Oberon Overture" by Weber; "Ballet Music from Faust" by Gounod; "Invocation of Alberich" from "Das Rheingold" by Wagner.

In announcing this and other changes James K. Hitt, registrar, said students may pick up official grade reports after Monday when they begin enrollment procedures in the basement of Strong Hall.
In the past, he said, students have been unable to receive official reports until all grades had been processed in the registrar's office. Previously students received unofficial reports of their first semester's work by leaving postcards with instructors or checking department offices.
Schedules Available Now
Class schedules, which give full instructions, were being distributed today at the registrar's office. Mr. Hitt suggests that all students read them carefully.
Students will not be able to pick up enrollment cards until Monday Jan. 30. Mr. Hitt explained that final grades would not be ready before then. However, the early pick-up system will continue each fall semester, he said.
Graduating seniors, who have in the past been given the privilege of enrolling early regardless of alphabetical order, will not be able to do so this year. Mr. Hitt suggested that seniors may still secure enrollment in required courses by consulting with the dean of their particular school.
Suggestions Listed Mr. Hitt gave two suggestions to students which will help the enrollment run smoothly.
After picking up enrollment cards in Strong Hall, fill them out before entering the Student Union. It will eliminate time wasted in consultation with advisors on selection of courses.
When receiving class enrollment cards, students should inspect them carefully to be sure they are enrolled in the right classes. Mr. Hitt said this will eliminate later refiling and removal of cards from the machines.
Praise For System
Praise For System Mr. Hitt described the IBM system as working adequately after a few kinks were ironed out this fall
"Considering the fact that it was the first time both students and faculty had ever used the system it worked out surprisingly well," he said. "Even the registrar's office didn't know what the cards looked like until they started using them." he added.
Mr. Hitt also clarified another change made possible by the use of the mechanical record-keeping system, that of eliminating the 60 per cent "C" stipulation in determining scholastic deficiency.
Under the new system students may balance low grades with higher ones regardless of the number of low grades. Mr. Hitt described the change as being more fair to students by considering their overall achievement in classes.
