Dean and Registrar Attend Conventions The Dean and the Registrar attended the twenty-first convention of the Ameri can Association of Collegiate Registrars held as a joint affair with the North Cen tral Association meeting, April 18, 19, 20. at the Stevens hotel. The address of welcome was given by Dr. Robert Maynard Hutchins, president of the University of Chicago. The general topic of the Tuesday ses sion was The Registrar in Current Edu cational Progress. Among the speak ers were Dr. Albert Hamo, provost, University of Illinois, Dean C. M. Fri- ley, Iowa State College, and Dr. K. P. R. Nevelle, Registrar of the University of Western Ontario.

Such subjects as Educational Progress and Admission to College, Intelligent Admission, and A State Program to Improve Selection of College Students were discussed. Thursday the summary reports of sec tional meetings and a report on the Edu cational Conference at New York Uni versity were given. Orchestra Presents Spring Concert Sunday, April 30 By Margaret Mullen The spirit of the romantic composers, Grieg, Rubinstein, Schubert, and Saint- Saens, who have used music as a power ful medium for expression of emo tions, will predom inate in the annual orchestra concert scheduled for April 30, at 8:15 p. m. in the col lege auditorium. The orchestra will have the hon or of playing for the first time the Bohemian B a c - Jane Gramlich Orchestra President chanal by Professor Stephen A. Ernst which will be conducted by the composer himself. The composition displays beauty in original themes and in rythmic treat ment. One of the best-known numbers on the program is the Rosamunde Overture by Schubert. A different phase of the ro mantic spirit will be evident in Grieg's Vorspiel from the Jorsalfar suite. In this selection, Grieg gives a musical picture of the hero in all his strength and ruggedness. The middle strain, full of deep feeling, recalls the gloomy fjords and lonely shores of the hero's northland home. For those who enjoy novelties, the orchestra offers In a Clock Store by Orth. Amid the ticks and bells of many clocks, the apprentice boy goes about his work. Here the cuckoo clock sounds; there the alarm clock puts in a noisy clang; finally the miniature chimes of a Scotch cathedral ring out. A Chinese tableau, for which the or chestra plays In a Chinese Temple by Albert Ketelbey, closes the first part of the program. Thin, acrid harmonies of oriental music depict the spiral billows of incense before the idols, the soft, reedy throb of the temple music, and the stri dent street noises which disturb Buddha's worshipers within the cool green shad ows of the temple. A selection from the Biblical opera, Samson and Delila, Danse Bacchanale by Saint-Saens, presents still another phase of emotional expression. Events of extreme dramatic interest surround the excerpt which reveals the wild abandon and revelry of the Philistines. The scene is in the Temple of the Dragon where a magnificent bacchana lian festival is in progress. Samson is brought out in chains to make sport for the Philistines. In agony he prays, and suddenly his strength is restored to him. The scene from the opera ends with the destruction of the temple and the massa cre of the Philistines. Grieg's Huldigungs March brings the program to a brilliant close. ARTIST EXHIBITS RARE ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPTS HERE Charles P. Jochem Collection is on Display in Art Studios Little Orphan Annie Author Lectures Here Take Part in Loyola Spanish-Italian Fiesta Mundelein students are invited to at tend the Spanish-Italian Fiesta to be given by Loyola University at the Trop ical Room, Medinah Athletic club, on Wednesday evening, May 10.

Betty Agnew and Patri cia Gillmore of Mundelein are members of the cast. Ideas don't come full-blown out of your mind. Read, read, read -and read critically So counselled Mr. Frank Dahm, author of the popular Little Or phan Annie radio sketch, when he visited the radio broadcasting class last Thurs day morning. Simply and humorously, Mr. Dahm told of the experiences encountered in his own twenty years of writing. In the course of his remarks he returned con stantly to the need of extensive and crit ical reading. To illustrate the value of this read ing to those who would do creative writ ing, Mr. Dahm analyzed a recently broadcast script of his own Little Or phan Annie sketch, tracing the evolution of some characters and incidents to books he had read twenty or more years ago. Although visitors are rarely permitted at the broadcasts of this particular pro gram, Mr. Dahm concluded by inviting the entire radio broadcasting class to visit the studio and sit in on the broad cast Thursday evening. - Publications Awarded National Press Honors The Clepsydra, college literary magazine, carried off AU-American honors and the Skyscraper won First Honors in the National Scholastic Press Association ratings for 1933. The publications submitted to the N. S. P. A., whose headquarters are at the school of journalism at the University of Minnesota, are scored on a list of points including editing, financing, engraving, originality, and style of writing. The ratings of both publications are higher this year than they have been previously. Journalists Visit Daily News Plant First hand insight into the workings of a great metropolitan newspaper office was accorded to the Mundelein journal ism students and others interested in newswriting, who toured the Daily News building on Thursday. April 20. This supervised trip, arranged by Pro fessor Roland E. Wolseley, instructor in editing and make-up, began on the sixth floor, where the library or morgue, with its extensive files relating to people in the news, was inspected. The editorial rooms and special de partments were then viewed, and the group was next guided, through rear ward passages, to and through the large and busy composing room. Before the trip was concluded, the great rolls of paper constantly used for printing had been looked at; the paper itself had been seen in the press, amidst the clamor of the machinery, and the view of the finished copies, rapidly pour ing out, climaxed the interest of the tour. The entire evening edition of the paper was printed while the students watched the presses in operation. Prize Play Broadcast Over WMAQ on May 11 An exhibition of illuminated manu scripts, the work of Charles P. Jochem, former dean of music at St. Thomas Sem inary, St. Paul, is being held in the art studios on the eighth floor. The exhibit is open daily from 1 until 5 p. m,. and on Sundays from 9 until 12 a. m. Mr. Jochem is primarily a musician, but he has chosen as his avocation the illustration and interpretation of color in music. The largest series of illustrations is for the music for the principal feasts of the ecclesiastical year. Employs Old and Modern Forms Mr. Jochem uses the square notes com mon in older liturgical music in these illustrations, but in some of the lighter compositions he employs the modern mu sical forms. His color symbolizes the spirit of the feast, ranging from the lighter shades of the joyful festivals to the somber pur ples of Good Friday. Pictorial representations' are inter woven with or seen mistily behind elab orate patterns, and initial letters are dec orated in the manner of the old manu scripts. Chopin's Funeral March Illustrated Although most of the compositions il lustrated are religious in character, some of them treat of secular subjects. The illustration of Chopin's Funeral March weaves in the narrative by depicting a young girl weeping over the grave of her lover while in the distance appears the fading outline of her shattered dream castle. Mr. Jochem has composed a number of sacred selections, his best-known one be ing the Holy Mount, a Holy Week cantata. One of his lighter pieces, To a Stained Glass Window, is illustrated in the collection now on display. The public is cordially invited to visit the exhibit, which will be open until May 1. WGN ANNOUNCER IS RADIO CLASS GUEST Bob Elson, well-known WGN sports announcer, quickened the hopes of poten tial radio announcers when he told the members of the broadcasting class, on April 6, that his debut in radio work was accidental. Mr. Elson explained that he happened to visit a studio in Minneapolis on the day an audition contest was being held, and, to his surprise, he won the contest. For a while he was on the air from Minneapolis, and later he broadcast base ball news from St. Louis. When the op portunity to join the WGN staff came his way, Mr. Elson accepted it, and for the past three years he has been gaining fame for his broadcasts of the Cubs and Sox and for the Rube Appleberry pro grams. Breathes There the Man, by Mary Agnes Tynan, prize-winning play of the Daily News contest, will be broadcast over WMAQ on May 11. The time will be announced later. The story is a character study of a South Carolina gentlewoman whose son was killed in a crusade against the cot ton capitalists of the 1850's. For five years she cherishes a deadly hatred of the government, which she holds responsible for his death, but her inherent loyalty and patriotism return in the face of a new crisis. - Welcome New Bookstore Social Room -4 gt; The new social room arrangement in the book store was a genuinely de lightful surprise for the students on Monday morning, April 24, and the Skyscraper herewith accords a vote of thanks to the faculty for providing it. It affords an ideal place for study, rest, and recreation, and because of its convenient location is already a popular resort.
