News From Page One---attention of Walter Damrosch. Two years later Damrosch wrote a new soprano role into his opera, "The Man Without A Country," especially for Miss Traubel, who made her first Metropolitan appearance in that opera during the 1937 spring season. Concentrates on Wagner
TRAUBEL----
For more than a year afterwards Miss Traubel was a star on a weekly radio program over one of the major networks, suddenly retiring from public appearances to concentrate on Wagnerian roles with Giuseppe Boghetti, teacher of Marian Anderson and other noted singers.
When the new Helen Traubel emerged to make her Town Hall debut in October, 1939, she scored the sensation of the decade, critics said. Two months later Miss Traubel took her place beside veteran Wagnerian singers to perform the role of Sieglinde in "Die Walkuere."
Since then Miss Traubel has appeared as Elizabeth in "Tannhauser," fulfilled two cross country concert tours, and was selected by Arturo Toscani as soloist for a memorable Wagnerian program at Carnegie Hall with the NBC symphony orchestra. She has recently completed some Wagnerian recordings with Toscani and Stokowski.
Will Return To Operatic Roles
Miss Traubel's appearance here is part of a season tour booked solidly to and following her performances at the Metropolitan during December and January, where she assumes for the first time this year the Brunnhilde roles of the Wagner Ring operas.
GRADUATION---day, this plan may be altered because the ceremony might cause delay in construction, Ingham said.

Bloc Registration For Sugar Ration
To facilitate sugar registration of all University students under 18 years of age, Mrs. Frank T. Stockton, director of school registration in Lawrence, has asked that all housemothers, landladies, and other proprietors or representatives of organized houses in which reside more than one student under 18, come to the Memorial Union building tomorrow to make a 'bloc' registration.
One responsible adult, Mrs. Stockton pointed out, can register for every under-18 student in the house, and thus cut down on the number of persons waiting in registration lines.
Those registering for younger students must provide the registration board with this information: color of hair and eyes, height, weight, and age, in addition to name and address.
