While a nickelodeon ground out strokes of such tunes as "Careless" and "It's a Wonderful World" in the Memorial Union ballroom, about 80 new students attended the get-acquainted party held from 3 to 5 p.m. westerday afternoon.
Those attending were privileged to follow the policy of "serve yourself if you would be well-served" and ate as many doughnuts and imbibe as much hot chocolate as they desired.
Dancing and jitter-bugging in their fanciest forms were practiced by the attending lasses. In charge of "mixer" games was Sue Haskins, c'41, who arranged for bridge, table tennis and the game of numbers.
Informal costumes of all types were glimpsed in the ballroom — sweaters and skirts, slacks $ \square $
and snow suits predominating. Jay-Janes Tea

It's getting to be more and more fashionable to enjoy classical music nowadays—people even think nothing (well, hardly anything) of buying sets of Tschalkowsk records and sitting home nights to listen to the phonograph.
Music Room Is Refuge For Lovers of Classics
And whether the first thing he asks for is *Gershwins hair* in *Blue* or a Haydn string quartet, the student will find it a pleasure to hang around. The place is really an epoch-making addition to University facilities, not to be reckoned merely by the beautiful furnishings or the im-deries of the index or the size and style of the armchair. This Carnegie gift, late as it is in arriving is designed to raise the aesthetic of standard of living on Mt. Orean
But campus music-lover may now turn their savings toward buying a Picasso for the dining-room wall. They'll get all the music they can afford in the music Room" located in the upper level of the Memorial Union building.
There are a lot of good things in this new library. Most popular, probably, will be such long-time favorites as the Schubert "Unfinished," Johann Strauss's "Tales from the Violin" or Lohengrin "and Tannhuber" and to Tekhovsky's "Nutcracker Suite." The Russian composer "Romeo and Juliet Fantasy" will no doubt also be in demand because of a theme used in the recent popular song "Our Love." (Among other things surprizes me) The collection are Tekhovsky's Fifth Sixth Symphony and Beethoven's Fifth and Ninth. The Union Building might buy these day.)
Beethoven's Sixth and Seventh are there, and, again surprisingly Brahms' First. Cesare Franck's one and only, Schubert's Seventh (on which according to one's historical position he wrote)kovsky's Fourth, and representative symphonies of Mozart, Haydn, and Mendelssohn are included.
Yes. Jean Sibelius is also represented by "Finlandia" and there are other tone-poems of interest: Ask sometime for Smetna's music de-

description of the Czechoslovakian kilda—Mulai's a beautiful thing. Wagner's "Siegridier Idyll" will be often used, as will Debusky's soothing piano composition, "Reflections in the Water."
There is a large number of songs and piano works, plus other selections of doubtful description which can be used chiefly for history of music classes. Also noteworthy is the presence of a complete oratorio, the "Messiah," and "Aida," "Tristan and Isolea," "Don Giovanni," and "Fault." Not to speak of the complete score of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Joanette."
There is one drawback. The music room, as we understand it, is open only from 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 p.m. on weekdays and from 2 to 5 Sundays. Friday and Saturday hours are not finally decided. Special groups will be allowed to use the room at other times.

Note to Frank Bukety. Brick Lumber, and other notorious scanty-fuzzes of the campus; here is a verse we have found much convolation:

Mr. George Waggoner, instructor in English, in reviewing John Steinbeck's much discussed book, "Grapes of Wrath," yesterday said that on the whole the book painted a true picture of conditions among the migrant workers in the dust bowl area. "It cannot be said that all the events happening to the characters in the book happened to one another family," he pointed out, "but it is entirely possible that all the events actually occurred in that section of the country."
One mixed doubles match has nlready been played. Earle Radford and Shirley Irwin defeated Bob Kirk and Norma Tibbets.
Mr. Waggower spoke before an audience of about 150 students and townpeople in Fraser hall yesterday afternoon. His review was one of the most important being given as a part of the course in contemporary literature.
Waggoner Says 'Grapes of Wrath' Gives True Dust Bowl Picture
Quoting from the London Times book section he stated the two themes of the book: the primary one being that of describing the endurance and essential nobility of the people, and the secondary one that of showing the tyranny of economic law over all classes of people.
Our Entire Stock of Suits and Obercoats Now On Sale
Mixed doubles scheduled for today includes:
The speaker ranked the book as one of the best works of descriptive writing in American literature during this century. He contrasted Grapes of Wrath with Tobacco Road as a pictization of people who are forced to live in *sordid surroundings* that whereas Tobacco Road brought the story's intensity to the situation, Steinbeck's book emphasized the essential fineness of character which is displayed by people in such conditions.
