VOLUME IV John T. Qraves II Opens Forum Session Tonight Student Expression Plan Will Hold Chapel Session Friday tant urges all students TO COOPERATE Norman -Tant, organizer and sponsor of the Student Expression Plan by which students will have the opportunity to express their opinions and ideas of contem porary topics relative to college students announces that the faculty committee on public ex ercises met with a committee of students last week to discuss the final plans for the plan. It was asserted by Tant that the faculty could not spare thirty minutes out of the weekly two hundred minutes which are de signed for the two chapel periods. However, he said the faculty committee suggested that every second Wednesday in the month be given over the such a program. At the same time the student committee would not agree to such a plan unless the student body voted it in by a good majority. On Friday Tant presented the plan that the students are to ar range and conduct once each month with the students introduc ing the speakers doing the speak ing and otherwise presenting a program. The students voted this plan in while at the same time several students questioned why the faculty could not spare a period. Tant and the student committee have announced that they are open for voluntary speakers for the first program which will take place next Wednesday. All suggestions and requests are to be handed in to Tant.

Each lovely article of this collec tion seemed to carry a story all its own—not only in relationship to the various processes required in its construction but also con sidering accounts of the shop windows and china closets it might have adorned while being used by aristocratic families to serve their guests of honor. The talent revealed along the line of art work was remarkable and surprising as some of the students are inclined to follow the well-known parable and hide or bury their talent—and the exhibi tion succeeded in bringing forth hidden talents of such interest and charm that many of the guests pre sent who had never had any special hobby discovered interest ing ways in which they might spend their leisure hours and be benefitted.
