Silence Prevails at Bridge
Sigma Kappa steadily compiled points to win first place as silence prevailed for the first three hands at the Lambda Chi Alpha bridge tournament Saturday afternoon. Then the 40 girls representing 10 sororites began to concentrate less on their playing and more on talking.
At the steak fry following the tourney the first place traveling trophy and the first place permanent trophy were awarded to the Sigma Kappa team which had compiled the most points in the 18 bridge hands. Second place trophy was presented to Alpha Phi.
Psychology Group Meets
Dr. Alfred L. Baldwin, an alumnus and former professor, participated in a psychology symposium here Friday and Saturday in the Student Union.

For a booby prize Alpha Delta Pi received a book on how to play contract bridge.
Bridge tables were placed in the living room, the TV room, and the dining room of the Lambda Chi house. The four-girl teams were divided into two groups, A and B. The B group as the east and west players moved to a different table after two hands.
As each hand was concluded the scorer took his results to the scoring chart in the music room. The
The hand of each player was given to her in an envelope which also contained the group and side of the player as well as the situation in which the hand was dealt. Upstairs at the chapter house 10 boys were at work constantly arranging these hands. Each table played the same hand at the time.
One Lambda Chi insisted that "because we like girls we decided to sponsor this tournament."
But according to Del Howerton, engineering, junior and social chairman, of the fraternity, the tourney was arranged because "we realize that bridge is a popular pastime with the girls on this campus, and we wanted to see which house actually had the best players. It will be an annual affair."

Prof. Swarthout Directs Choir Final Time in K.C.

Charcoal-Filtered for Mildness
The University A Cappella choir, directed by Donald M. Swarthout, continued a tradition of many years yesterday by presenting its annual concert in the First Baptist church in Kansas City, Mo.
Many friends of Prof. Swarthout attended the concert. Prof. Swarthout, who founded the choir 32 years ago, called the concert his "swan song." He will retire from active musical leadership at the University in June.
"Fine music nobly sung" was the way a review in the Kansas City Star referred to the program. "Dr. Swarthout's directing was characteristically sensitive, reflecting every shade of meaning inherent in each musical number, and the response of the choir of 110 fine, youthful voices was marvelous," the article continued.
Included on the program were early classic numbers, liturgical selections, songs by the Russian composer Gretchaninoff, contemporary works by English and Canadian composers, and spirituals. The Star said, "Most of the numbers were the tried and true literature for unaccompanied voices, though there was not the slightest hint of triteness."
"The large congregation...reserved its demonstration of high esteem for the retiring director as a program postscript. The audience applauded vehemently, then stood, still applauding, in a spontaneous tribute," according to the review.
Non-Segregation Talk Presented on KLWN
"The Political Reaction to the Non-Segregation Ruling" was the subject of a radio talk given by Rhoton A. Smith, assistant professor of political science, on the Sociology on the Air program.
Corbin Cook Bids Farewell
Yesterday another tradition of the University passed from campus life.
Mrs. Leatreschia Salisbury, for 30 years the head cook at Corbin hall, said farewell to her job at a tea given in her honor at Corbin yesterday afternoon.
The tea climaxed a day of activity for her in which many of the girls who had lived in Corbin, the administrative staff, and her friends came to pay their respects to her for the many years she has served the University.
She has been head cook at Corfine since it was built 30 years ago. In that time she has seen many girls come and go. Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women, who was once a Corbin girl, served punch at the tea.
Mrs. Salisbury was the honored guest of the girls at dinner yesterday, one of the few meals she has eaten on the other side of the Corbin kitchen door. She was presented with gifts from the girls and staff.
It was quite a moving moment when she stood to thank them and broke into tears. She said, "In September, I, in my heart, will get ready to come back to Corbin. I can hardly stand leaving. It is leaving home."
