Father a I'aiuter
The father of the three Viennese
artists was an artillery offici i in the
Austrian army and «a* partially ac-
tive during the World War lie was a
painter of note, hi* works being pur
chased by the Kmperor of Austria
and King George of England. This
talent for painting has been inherited
by Maria, violinist of the trio.
Klsa, cell'st of the trio, who is con-
sidered by many the foremost woman
cellist in the world, started her nm ■■
cnl career at the age of eight with
the violin, receiving instruction from
the world famous podm.'o-fijr otnker
Sevcik.
Debut in Vienna
With the discovery of marked pian
istic talent in young Greta, it was
inevitable that the three should play
in ensemble, in which field they made
their debut in Vienna at an early
age with spendid success. Despite
'he recognition of their talent abroad
and manv subsequent engagements
following their first appearance, the
•hree young sisters were forced to
make many personal sacrifices in or-
der to continue in their field. En-
couraged by the brave optimism of
their mother, they struggled to save
sufficient money for passage to Amer-
ica and arrived here with little
knowledge of the language and cus-
toms. Since then, however, they have

Dean Asks That
Degree Plans Be
Completed Soon
All Students With Sixty or More
Hours Should See To This
To Save Trouble Later
Much time and trouble can be saved
for students who have completed
sixty semester hours work and who
have not yet had their degree plans
made out, according to Dr. B. B. Har-
ris, Dean of the College, if they will
tali at liis office and see to it imme-
diately.
1'he early approval of the degree
plan will greatly facilitate a stu-
dent's progress ami tend to prevent
confusion and loss of credit. A pos-
sible delay in graduating will be
avoided if the matter is attended to
within a reasonable time after the
completion of sixty semester hours in
College, it is understood. In some
instances where the degree plan has
been neglected, it has lieen found that
students could not comply with de-
gree requirements even though their
grade book indicated an excess in the
number of hours required. It is the
desire of the authorities to avoid
things of this kind through insistance
that degree plans he made early.
In addition to making of degree
plans Dr. Harris asks that all teachers
who are expecting to do correspond-
ence or extension work during the
next winter come to his office and
have the work approved with the
degree plan
The requirements for degrees arc
enumerated in the new catalogue,
copies of which are available to stu-
dents at the office of the Registrar.

STAGE PROGRAM
WILL FEATURE
POPULAR GROUP
Selections from Jerome Kern's mus-
ical setting to "Show Boat" will be
featured by the pit orchestra Satur-
day night at 8:16 as a prelude to
the regular week end presentation in
the Auditorium, with Bob Marquis,
conducting.
On the Stage, the orchestra will fea-
ture Nancy Jane Gates and Bill Ar-
dis, dancers, Mable Jones, singer, in
"Little Man. You've Had a Busy
Day:" and Gene Handley in a soft-
shoe number.
"Ebony Rhapsody" will be one of
the high spots on the program by
the band, it was anounced.
_
I During the past week the College
has rased the building on the cor-
ner of th.! site where the new dor-
mitory is to !«• located This dormi-
tory that is to lie built on this site
has been made possible from a recent
federal grant of P. W. A. funds to
the amount of $210,000 Although the
site is being cleared, operations to-
ward the construction of the building
will not begin for some time, it is
understood.
It is thought by Wyatt Hedrick,
architect of Ft. Worth who has drawn
up the plans for the building, that
specifications will lie at a stage by
the last of this month whereby the
contractors will lie able to make bids
on the new structure. Details some
what numerous will have to he work
ed out before construction can be ac
lively begun It is reported that this
should not take longer than the first
of October. However, Dr. W. J. Mc-
Connell, President of the College, has
stated his belief that the building can
be finished during midspring of next
I year ami ready for occupancy during
I the summer session of next year.
At the present time the brick struc-
tures located on the lot are not. to be
interfered with, the removal of the
small building which has lately been
used as a beauty shop will be the only
| disturbance of other structures. It
may be possible that the brick build-
ings will be retained until the new
j building is finished, however, this is
ttill an uncertainty and nothing defi-
nite could be secured on it. It is
understood that the dormitory will
lv' set back far enough that the es-
cavations will not interfere with the
brick structures.
Plans are now under way to ex-
tend the connections from the heating
! olant to the location of the new build-
ng. This work will lie supervised by
W. W. Yerby, superintendent, of build-
ings and grounds. It is the purpose
f the authorities to get these con-
nections across the street now so they
will be ready for the new building
when they are needed.
Auditorium Class
Receives Credit
Courses in Modern Trend of Edu-
cation, which were offered in the Col-
lege Auditorium in the summer of
1032, and numbered in the catalog
as Education .ISO and 390, are now
lecognized according to information
recently received by P. E. McDonald,
Registrar of the College.
Credit is now allowable for two
semester hours each toward the
eighteen hour requirements for school
administration courses for principals
and superintendents, it is understood.

WITH FIGURES OF LAST
FEW SUMMERS HERE
Registration figures for the second
half of the summer school had mount-
ed up to a total of 2,056 yesterday af-
ternoon at 5 o'clock according to in-
formation from the office of the busi-
ness manager. It is indicated that
the number will probably swell with-
in the next few days as the process
of registration is still going on and
will continue throughout this week.
It is Impossible to compare regis-
tration figures by days for the second
half of this summer with the second
half of last summer, as a different
system of registration has been em-
ployed The total enrollments for
the past few summers are available
and it is believed that the total sum-
mer enrollment will compare favor-
ably with some of the figures of the
past few years.
The peek of summer enrollments
was reached in 1031 when the figures
piled up to 3,407. The next high mark
was in 1020 when it reached 3,473.
A decline was shown in 1930, as the
number recorded shows that 3,080
students were in evidence. In 1932
an enrollment of 3,154 was cared for,
and last summer the number was
2,432.
The total number of students to
be on the campus for the entire sum-
mer school for this year ia not avail-1
able, but it is believed that it will
reach well above the 3,200 mark.

The Voice of the Press of 1800, in
many ways was not so different from
that of its follower of 1934. if one
may believe his own eyes, for, if Um
Ulster County Gazette "Published at
Kingston < Ulster County,) by Sam-
uel Freer and Son," in particular en
Saturday. January 4, 1800 were com-
pared with any of its 1934 successors,
it would be seen that the chief aim
of both papers was to give the read-
ers what they wanted.
Certainly the language and spelling
would be quite diversified; yet, how
well compares certain excerpts from
John Adams to Congress with that
of Franklyn Roosevelt!
"As long as we can maintain with
harmony and affection the honor of
our country, consistently with Its
peace, externally and internally, while
that is attainable, or in wnr. when
that becomes necasssry,
its real independence and soverignty,
and support the constitutional ener-
gies and dignity of its government—
w* may be perfectly sure under the
itmiles of Divine Providence, that we
shall effectively promote and extend
our national interests and happiness."
Congress joins in on the same is-
sue with "While we devoutly join
you in offering our thanks to Al-
mighty God for the return of health
to our cities, and for the general
prosperity of our country we can
not refrain from lamenting that the
arts and calumnies of factious and
designing men, have excited open re-
bellion a itecond time in Pennyslvania,
and thereby compelled the employment
of a military force to aid the eivil
authority in the execution of the
laws We rejoice that your vigilance,
energy and well timed exertions have
cruahed so daring an opposition, and
prevented the spreading of such
treasonable combinations. Tha promp-
titude and aeal displayed by the troops
called to suppress this insurration
our highest oammndiHon
and praise, and affords a pleasing
proof at tha spirit and alacrity with
which our ftliow citisens are randy to
maintain the authority of our an-
cedent government."
Adam's answer to this gracious
comment on his conduct of duty is
no leas noteworthy: "The praise of
the Senate so judiciously conferred
on the promptitude and seal of the
troops, called to suppress the insur-
rection, as it falls from so high au-
thority, must make a deep impression,
both as a terror to the disobedient
and an encouragement to such as do
well."
Even though the arrival of the
Factor from Fulmouth put the "pub-
lifher" in possession of London pap-
er* up to "the 20th of October, in-
clusive," the reports of continental
wars did not occupy the place of
prominence- that was saerad to the
memory of George Washington. The
columns proclaimed that the House

ember 29 (1799) Itatensd while "Mr.

tone of voice, rose and addressed the

The museum has recently been the
recipient of a chuck box from Bill
White who obtained it from a ranch
near Stamford, Texas. The box is
in the shape of a rhomboid; the base
is two feet wide by four feet long,
the box is three feet high, and the
top is about four feet long by one
wide. The back of the box is flat
so that it may be fastened on to the
back of the chuck wagon and the
front is hinged so that It may be let
down on to a "gate-leg" and used for
the cook's table.
The inside of the box is divided
into four compartments, one partition
running down the middle of the box
and one horisontally in the right hand
side of It, The left aide of the box
was used to keep the flour and meal
in, the top shelf on the right aide
was used to keep the bacon on. and
the lower right was the container for
all the pots and pans that were not
slung from the axle of the wagon.
There is a shallow cavity in the top
of the box in which the knives and
forks were kept.
With the box came a number four-
teen skillet, the number may mean it
holds fourteen pounds of meat or
that it will hold enough meat for
fourteen men; there are two cups
with rattlesnake rattlae attached
some bone-handled knivaa and forks
a "clover-leaf" brand, and a "running
W", the King ranch brand.
The box is between twenty-five and
fifty years old and has a greasy
well-used appearance, Morris Ward,
assistant curator of the museum,
added that the museum now needed
i'liii the box to.
Plans for the Centennial Pageant
