Cellist Delights KU Audience, Critic Says
Gregor Piatigorsky, world-re-
nowned cellist, delighted his audience Monday night with a marvelous performance of his scheduled concer-
t and four familiar encores.
By LOU FRY
Piatigorsky, the fifth artist presented by the University Concert course, played in Hoch auditorium.
In the first group of works he performed, the Milhaud "First Concerto" was the outstanding number, with its rapid changes of mood calling for expert control and technique. Although very different in mood, the grave and nonchalant movements were equally well played.
Draft Test Cheating To Be Reported; Men Must Apply For Admission
The emotional impact of Bruch's "Kol Nidrei" was apparently felt by the entire audience, as Piatigorsky presented it with great feeling and artistry. The deFalla "Farruca" was an excellent choice to follow the legato Bruch.
The artist was ably supported by Ralph Berkowitz, whose excellent accompaniment was particularly apparent in the second group.
Following his program, Piatigorsky generously played several encores for the enthusiastic audience. Especially enjoyable were the popular "Hora Staccato" and the humorous "Prokofieff March for Children."
Cheating on the Selective Service College Qualification tests, to be given Saturday, May 26; Saturday, June 16; and Saturday, June 30, will be reported to the local draft boards.
In an announcement published by the Selective Service system, the rules for the conduct of the tests state that an examinee who gives or receives assistance during the progress of the test will be dismissed from the examination. His test book and answer sheet will be taken from him, and his local board will be notified.
77 To Attend FACTS Dinner
In order to take the tests, which will be used by the Selective Service local boards in considering the eligibility of registrants for occupational deferment as students, each man must apply for a ticket of admission. These applications are available in the Registrar's office.
Seventy-seven persons will attend the F.A.C.T.S. victory banquet in the Hawk's Nest at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Held in celebration of the party's first campus election success, the banquet will feature talks by James Logan, All Student Council president-elect, and other victorious F.A.C.T.S. candidates.
Registrants must designate on the application an examination center, chosen from the list of centers appearing in the bulletin of information available in the Registrar's office. Examinees will be assigned to the center requested or to the closest possible alternative.
After the banquet, at 8:30 p.m. in 106 Green hall, the party will meet to elect officers. Both banquet and meeting are open to the public.
A limited number of banquet tickets are still available. The price is $1.50.
Other rules pertaining to the tests have also been announced.
Students must take the test on the date and at the place specified on the ticket of admission that will be mailed by the Selective Service system.
Tickets of admission will be issued as rapidly as possible. The applicant may, however, be assigned to anyone of the three testing dates.
Admission to the testing room is limited to those applicants who hold tickets for that specific testing date and center.
Under no circumstances will an applicant holding a ticket of admission for one center be admitted to the examination at another center. An applicant failing to report to the examination center on time, irrespective of the reason, will not be admitted.
Draft Test Talk To Be Wednesday
A discussion of the Selective Service System College Qualification tests will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday in 206 Strong hall.

Education An Aid In Democracy
General education is useful in furthering a closer approach to the democratic ideal. Mrs. Louise Cochran said Sunday on KLWN in the Sociology on the Air series. She is an instructor in sociology and Western Civilization.
Mrs. Cochran pointed out that sociology has something to contribute as an aspect of general education. Students of sociology see how the people of a society devise social structures through which life needs are met, to see how people behave in social groups.
"In sociology we try to see how men do behave, not how men ought to behave," she said. "Sociology is the study of men living in groups—of the patterns of interaction and social processes which can be observed as men live and behave in group situations."
The broadcast Sunday, April 29 in the series will include two speakers, Hilden Gibson, professor of political science, and Marston McCluggage, associate professor of sociology. They will discuss the case method.
