The band reached its musical peak in the second portion of the program which began with the March and Scherzo from Prokofeff's opera, "Love for Three Oranges."

Students Explore Ancient Indian Sites
Thirty pre-Columbian Indian sites, soon to be submerged by a government flood control project, were recently explored by three University students.
Al Johnson, Ellsworth senior, led the field party. Gaylord Teft, Lawrence sophomore, and Wayne Wallace, Atchison junior, were the other members of the expedition, which was sent out by the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C.
Each weekend from the middle of September until the end of October, the three traveled to the site of the Toronto Reservoir in southeast Kansas. By searching plowed fields for artifacts, 30 sites, dating from 500 to 1200 A.D., were found.
The most commonly found articles were pottery fragments, spear heads, arrowheads and hide scrapers. These were brought to the Museum of
Mobiles On Display Create A 'Wrought Iron Jungle'
Natural History for study and identification. They will later be sent to the Smithsonian Laboratory in Lincoln, Nebr.
"A wrought iron jungle" is what Edward A. Maser, director of the Museum of Art, calls the current exhibition of mobiles and stables by Alexander Calder.
"When you enter the room, you get the feeling of a jungle. there are all those strange shapes, twirling and changing shape constantly." Mr. Masser said.
Mr. Calder is internationally known as the founder and leader of the mobile sculpture movement. His work is now widely used by architects for interesting innovations, as well as being in demand for private collections and art galleries.
Mr. Calder studied engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology before entering the Art Students' League in New York in 1923. In his work, he employs the principle of the machine as the basis of his delicate "toys."
All his works on display in the museum are for sale. The prices range from $3500 for a standing mobile called "Laceon," a Greek sculpture of a father and two sons fighting serpents, to $400 for a piece called "Stable II."
"An archeological site is a place or area where people have lived or camped." Johnson explained. "We searched for evidence of these sites."
The mobiles are hung from the ceiling, on walls, standing, and one is constructed to be hooked on a table edge. They range from works of "Three Planes in Space," to "Optician's Eyeglass." One is called simply "Black and White."
When the mobiles first came, we didn't think we would be able to fill a whole room—they looked so small. Mr. Maser said, "But when we unpacked them, they folded out, until the room is so crowded you really feel as though you are in a jungle."
The museum's Films on Art series Tuesday will feature five films in connection with the exhibit, which will run through Jan. 30.
Dean Talks On Women's Housing
vide for the maximum social opportunities and relationships among freshman women, she said.
There is much criticism of the halls, such as too much noise, but these complaints must be taken with a grain of salt, Dean Taylor said. "Although we get contradicting reports about halls, we look into the complaints thoroughly," she added.
Because there is a tradition of women students desiring certain floors of North College and other halls, the dean of women's office is going to try to put a cross-section of each class in each hall, Emily Taylor, dean of women, told the Faculty Club Sunday. Her topic was "Student Women's Housing."
The present situation does not pro-
Their method was to walk through recently plowed fields, hunting for the mute evidence of the newly uncovered remains.
The party camped out part of the time and for a while they lived in a deserted farmhouse.
The area that will be under water is gradually being deserted by inhabitants, but the land will be farmed until the water rises.

Macmillan Names Aides

Another switch in the defense team saw Viscount Hallsham, the outspoken first lord of the admiralty, shuttled to the Ministry of Education.
