A pitiful note m Tuesday's new*
concerned the disqualification of
the 18-year-old winner of the $f>.
000 peace essay contest sponsored
by wddie Cantor, the comedian.
The youth seemed nothing but be
wildered as Cantor's agent told
him he was disqualified because he
had plagiarized, word for word,
part of an article written several
months ago by Dr. Frank King
don. president of Newark Univer
sit.v, for a magazine.
"What is plagiarism?" he asked
"I don't know "

The newspapers of Europe arc
making an inspired move to find
a wife for King Edward, the bach
elor King of England, it would
seem. Four English noblewomen
were suggested Monday; and if
those are unsatisfactory, the num
Iter will doubtless be increased
iBter in the week.
King Edward, who recently
asked Parliament to consider the
contingency of his marriage in es
tahlishing the monarch's civil list,
must -fulfill only one legal require
ment m choosing a bride. He
must marry a Protestant The
choice of whether his wife is to
be of royal, noble, or common
blood, is left to the king.
Frank Morris, candidate for
railroad commissioner, presented
himself to the public Sunday eve
ning in a much applauded radio
talk. The speech was very force

of time*, and punctuated by feeble
cheers from a group of studio sup-
porters. The sore spot about
which Mr. Morris scattered his
platform the East Texas oil
situation. It seems that, while the
East Texan field is closely re-
stricted by the Texas Commission.
Louisiana fields rre permitted to
pipe an unrestricted flow of oil
to Texas refineries. Mr. Morris
charges the major oil companies
with engineering this scheme to
wealth.
Another point in his campaign
is the low sulphur tax. Mr. Mor-
ris pointed out the fact that a
large percentage of sulphur mine
stock is owned by out-of-state
interests, and that the present tax
could be tripled and the companies
could still pay a 75 per cent divi

This group has been touring to

acclaimed fot its presentation
of classic and contemporary com-
positions. Speaking of a program
presented in New York City the
World-Telegram said: "Three fac
tors made the event memorable
the novelty and suitability of the
instrumental combination: the fine
musicianship of each of the artists,
made evident in ensemble and In-
dividual playing; and the tasteful
ly assembly program."
The instruments used by those
artists are unusual. Barren's flute
is made of platinum which gives it
unusual resonance. Salzedo's harp

tomorrow to conduct

classes in the art of singing and
in voice analysis. His lectures,
which will be at 10 a. m. anil at 2
p. m. in Kendall Hall tomorrow.
Friday, and Saturday, will be free
to anyone interested.
Realizing that "years are wasted,
beautiful voices are ruined, sing
ers of youth and promise deter-
iorate, all for the lack of true
knowledge," Proschowski has de
voted his life to training the
human voice "to express the great
and varied emotions of the mind
and soul."
Almost from the time of his
birth to a father of Hungarian
and Polish descent and to a
mother of Danish, Swedish, and
French descent, in Copenhagen.
Denmark, his major thoughts have
been turned t ward singing At
six years of age he was leading
hymns in school. After teaching
voice at Berlin, Paris, and Milan,
he finally came to America in 19211
to teach in New York.
Among Proschowski's well
known pupils have been Guy Rob-
ert, leading baritone in "The
Great Waltz," now playing on
Broadway; Dennis Noble, opera
and concert baritone transported
from England for "The (Jreat
Walt/.;" Virginia Ken; Elizabeth
Lennox; Tito Schipa; Paul Robe
son, negro baritone in "Show
Boat;" and Galli-Curei, to whom
he dedicated his book, "The Way
to Sing."
This week, when delegates ar-
rive on this Campus for a meeting
<>f the Texas Academy of Science
and a convention of the Spanish
Teacher- of Texas, they will find
at their disposal the most com-
plete convention facilities that
ever have been offered by Teach
ers College.
Considered for several years the
convention headquarters for manv
educational associations in the
State, North Texas State Teach
ers College this year ha- added
a new convention facility in the
form of a modem, beautiful din
ing room and several well-equipped
banquet halls accommodations of

\ dream come true to admin-
istrative officials of the Collage
who for Some time have wished
for a place on the Campus where
convention banquets might lie held.
Marquis Hall contains a modern
cafeteria, a -pacious dining room,
and banquet rooms which vary in
size to accommodate groups num
boring no matter how many.
An auditorium with a seating
capacity of over 2.'>00 is at the
disposal of any convention which
is attended by a large number of
people. I oca ted on the lower floor

lege i couipped with a modern
air conditioning unit, a large pipe
organ, a public speaking system,
and sound picture apparatus all
that any convention group asks
for.
When the library building hns
been completed, the College will
have added one more unit to its
convention facilities. The reading
rooms and reference volumes will
be used by visitors, but of more
value than that to a convenient
group will lw a small auditorium,
designed to accommodate 250 per-

LIBRARY ORDERS
TO ARRIVE SOON
m ildino may not be
complete before
next year
Work orders authorizing the
College to proceed with construc-
tion of the superstructure of the
now 2"'0,ooo library building, for
which a foundation already has
been completed, are expected any
day this week by officials here.
Dr. W J. McConnell, president,
-aid yesterday.
Contracts for the superstructure
were let early in March and the
foundation for the building was
completed more than four weeks
ago. Delay in issuance of the
work orders has been caused by
the fact that contracts for the
foundation and for the superstruc
ture were issued at different tor 's
to different construction firms.
"Due to the lateness of the ap-
plication made to PWA head-
quarters by the College for the
building, it was specified that the
contracts were to lie let by De-
cember I "> of last year." Dr. Mc-
Connell said. "The foundation
contract was let at that time, but
it wns impossible to have com
pleted on that date all the speci-
fications for the superstructure.
The same architect was directing
the plans for b-th the foundation
and the superstructure, and it was
felt that foundations should be laid,
even though minute plans for the
remainder of the library had not
been completed."
The president pointed out that
construction on the superstruc-
ture has not been delayed because
it was necessary for the founda-
tion "to set" before further work
could get under way.
Dr. McConnell expressed the
pinion that the earliest possible
lime of occupation of the new
building will he at the lieginning
of the second semester of the long
term of 198(1-37.

Pi Kappas Favor Dutch-Data*
And Oppose Foreign Conflicts
Alice Jannasch. business admin-
istration major and former sec re -
tary in the home economics office,
died of pneumonia April 13, ac
cording to a message received by
her sister, Gladys Jannasch. fresh
man in the College.
Miss Jannasch. daughter of Mrs
C. H. Jannasch of Dallas, was a
student in the College from 1932
until 1034.
"No, we are not willing to hear
arms on foreign soil," answered
228 students of the 2tf i who voted
the question at a dinner held at
the Eleventh Bienninl National
Convention of the Pi Kappa Delta
Society at the Rice Hotel, Houston,
April 2.
The students' policy towards
arms and armaments seemed to
lie quite consistent ir. all of the
questions on the ballots which per-
tained to this question. Two hun-
dred and forty four agreed that
an army "second to none" will
not insure the peace of the United
States, while only thirty-four
thought that peace would lie aided
by this means
The group of students who voted
on these and a number of other
questions which are problems of
today whs representative of more
tlian two hundred colleges and
universities fTom all over the
United States. Two ballots were
given, one on Monday evenimr, nnd
the second at the dinner on Tues
day evening. The first consisted
of nine outstanding questions, the
second of thirteen.
"Are you in favor of capital
punishment?" was one of the ques-
tions. One hundred and twenty-
four voted "Yes," while a hundred
and forty-four negative votes
were cast.
In a different vein, the question-
naire asked, "Are you in favor of
"dutch dating'?" The answer
came quite as a surprise to many.
While 122 objected, 151 voters cast
ballots in favor of the "dutch"
date.
"In your judgment, is there
more or less drinking among col-
lege students since the repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment?" was
a question to which three answers
were possible. "More." said 140.
"Less, voted 18. But 112 stu-
dents maintain that they notice
no change in the amount of drink-
ing.
