Ballet Stars Perform for Large Crowd
Students and guests of the University Concert series crowded Hoch auditorium last night for the performance of 35 members of the San Francisco Ballet company with Gisella Caccialanza and William Christensen, director, choreographer and dancer with the troupe, in role stars.
The program consisted of three individual ballets with choreography done by Mr. Christensen and music done by two pianists, Fritz Berens and Reina Schivo. "Nutracker Suite," the first of the three, high-lighted by the Chinese dance and acrobatic Russian dance; the "Pas de Deux" by Miss Caccialanza and Mr. Christensen; and the colorful "Waltz of the Flowers," by the chorus.
The Spanish number, "Amor Espagnol," a love intrigue with plot and music from Masseen's "Le Cid," was starred by Rosalie Prosch and Mattlyn Gevurtz who vied for the affection of Joaquin Felsch. The colorful costumes of the chorus were unusual in this ballet.
"Winter Carnival," the third in the series was met with the greatest applause by the audience. Mr. Christensen and Miss Caccialanza again starred in a variety of Pas Seuls and Pas de Deux. Ballet costumes, lighting, and music, drawn from Johann and Josef Strauss, were added attractions. Novelties were the comedy of Robert Thorson, as the General, Wana Williams, the Mother of the carnival skating star; and the Intermezzo done between scenes by Mr. Fritz and Miss Schivo, the pianists.
The popularly received troupe will give another performance tonight in Kansas City at the Municipal auditorium.

College Starts Course In General Biology For Underclassmen
General Biology, a course on the fundamental principles that underlie all biology, has been introduced by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as a new three-hour course for freshmen and sophomores.
Stephen Durant, who taught a similar course at the University of Utah, will be the instructor. He is also doing graduate work in the department of zoology.
New students entering the University next fall will be required to take the course in general biology. Present courses in botany, entomology zoology, and physiology will be reduced to three hours. They will be required as a follow-up to general biology to complete the six hours of science required by all students beginning next year.
Reasons for this change, states Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, is to give the student a better understanding of man and his relationship to living things.

Due to insufficient student help the Watson library may be unable to hold all desks open at night and hours may be curtailed. C.M. Baker, director of libraries, said today.
While the eastern and western fronts against Germany thus were brought closer together by the hour, a grim battle still raged on the Pacific islands of Owo Jima with bayonet attacks by American marines carrying them steadily deeper into the few remaining Japanese positions.
Tokyo announced widespread American air assaults against the home islands and elsewhere, white on Luzon in the Philippines, Gen Douglas MacArthur made final disposition for annihilation of the last Japanese still alive and in action.
Library Open Hours May Be Curtailed
Mr. Baker sent out an appeal today for more student night workers to relieve the regular staff. Ten students quit their library work at the end of the semester and new ones are slow to apply, he said. It is hoped that this shortage is due to incomplete schedules and that several students will sign up for work soon, so that the library may run on regular hours.
