Literature Classes Hear Folk Art Specialist Miss May Gadd, folk art spe- cialist, taking time out from her other activities while here at Eastern, spoke to Dr. James Brown's American Literature class last week. Miss Gadd explained that her work in folk arts is practical rath- er than theoretical. She also told the basis and origin of many folk tales. Miss Gadd especially noted the \Jack\ tales which have or- iginated from old English folk lore and are based on the idea of the physically weak but mental- ly strong and clever boy who tri- umphs over all. These \Jack\ tales range from \Jack and the Beanstalk\ to many unfamiliar stories. She also mentioned the sym- bolism of great heros, supersti- tions, and tall tales as having a Teachers of America.- large part in folk lore.

Harshfield explained that several expenses had erroneously been credited to the Stage Fund which were actually Assemblies ex- penses. A fund transfer has been made, amounting to nearly five hundred dollars, thus accounting for the decrease in one and and increase in the other.
