Western Montana College of Education Busy week—games, con cert and lecture. WESCOLITE Volume X XV III. Dillon, Montana, Wednesday, February 1, 1950 Number 8 Music Dept.-Aids March of Dimes Concert at H.S. Taking part in the March of Dimes program last Sunday in the high school auditorium, the College music department presented several num bers. Dan Boka sang “Duna,” by Mc Gill, and “Ah, Moon of My Delight,” by Lehmann. The chorus, directed by Mr. Jack- son, sang “I Know de Lord Has Laid His Hands on Me,” a Negro spiritual, and “ God of Our Fathers.” This pompous, yet dignified, ar rangement (by Fred Waring’s staff) was accompanied by Dorothy New- nes and June Leistiko at the two pianos; and Jean Staudenmeyer, Hewitt Martinell, and Blair Hurd, bass trio. Dolores E. Davis played the tympani, and Merrill Mann, the cymbal. June Leistiko played a piano solo, “Polichinelle” by Rachmaninoff. Talk of the Month Slated for Tonight February 1, today, is the time for the scheduled University of Min nesota series, “Talk of the Month.” Robert Bradford, of Christian birth and Jewish background, will speak on the subject, Tolerance and Free dom. Mr. Bradford was adopted at the age of three by a Jewish family and was raised in that faith under the shadow of Hitler-dominated Germany. During World War II he was hunted, hated, and hounded by the Nazis. It was not until he was 20 years old that he discovered he was not a Jew. Since the ques tion of partition in Palestine has been extremely interesting, Mr. Bradford’s lecture should be equally so. Everyone should get a date and make it a point to be there. That’s this evening at 8 p. m. in the audi torium. Students Appear In Butte Recital Peggy Lou Sutherland, sopho more, talented soprano, sang in Butte last Sunday at a musical mati nee given by the vocal pupils of Phyllis Wolfe. The program, held at St. John’s Episcopal Guild Hall, was received by an enthusiastic au dience. For her selection, Miss Sutherland sang “Qui La Voce” from “I Puritani” by Bellini. Frances Birge accompanied Peggy Lou in her selection. • CALENDAR Robert Bradford lecture Feb, 1 Community Concert, Nan Merriman, contralto ....... Feb. 2 Northern, Dillon ............

March 6 Local MEA Plans Open Forum The student local of the MEA is planning to sponsor a series of open forum discussions on vital problems in the field of education. These forums are being planned by the program committee whose members are Eileen Hamilton, chairman, Mae Kington, and Mary Beth Salzman. It is hoped that the first of these can be held in February and one each month thereafter. The first one, it is hoped, will be a discussion on the outlook for teacher’s salaries. At least one outside consultant will be present to answer questions on the topic under discussion. The forums will be held during the day or at a time when there are no classes. It is hoped that all students and the faculty will attend. KAPPA PI EXHIBITS WORK Kappa Pi members—Elda Fowler, Dick Everhard, and Hugh Simmons —have been asked to send art work to the Northwest regional Kappa Pi exhibit to be held in Oregon in April. Material will be sent from there to the national exhibit of the fine arts fraternity.

These five students all have been active, participating in life on the campus at Western, and also attain ing high scholarship, thus entitling them to this award. Women’s House Council Makes Plans for Annual Valentine Ball Cupid Reigns Supreme at Sweetheart’s Ball Highlighting all social events of the year is the annual Sweethearts ball to be held Saturday, February 4, in the Residence Hall recreation room. Dancing to the strains of Joe Smith’s six-piece orchestra will be from 9:00 to 12:00. The valentine theme will be car ried out in all decorations; dainty Cupids with their expressive ar rows will prevail throughout. A large heart made by Frances Mc Gowan will be dropped from the ceiling and from it a false ceiling in red and white crepe paper strips will be carried to the windows. The strips will be pinned with cupids. To carry through the decorative theme, the orchestra stand will be raised to different levels and em phasized with hearts and cupids. The entrance to the hall will be colorfully circled with a valentine, complete with cupids. Clever dance programs, daintily designed by Rose Badovinatz from doilies, hearts, and red ribbon, will be given to each couple. The pro grams are so designed that they may be worn around the ladies’ wrists. (Continued on pagre 4 ) Smoke Signals From the Library Correction: The general library is open on school days from 1:00 to 4:30, and not until 5:30 as we printed in the last Wescolite. The library opens its doors for one hour on nights when there are basketball games. Since this is a tentative arrangement, students who can benefit by it should, for their own good, take advantage of the time. P.S.—You are cordially invited to use the encyclopedias in the library. It is an offense to take any book from the room without the consent of the librarian. STUDENTS PRESENT MUSICAL PROGRAM A musical program by WMCE students was presented at the meet ing of the Mizpah chapter, Order of Eastern Star, January 24. June Leistiko, Mary Lou Cooper, Alfred Fidler, and Frances Birge participated in the program under the direction of Peggy Lou Suther land.
