Child Prodigy to Genius ts Menuhin's Career By JEAN SPEAROW Yehudi Menuhin, who appeared as soloist with the San Fran cisco symphony at the tender age of 7, is now a mature master of the violin.

You knowr, bias this and bias that. WE HAVE NO ARGUMENT: We’d like to ask Steve Worth, with no argument intended, about that statement that “the organi zation was not organized for the best interests of the students at large.” After all, most campus organizations are that way, with only a few deriving the benefits of such, even the dorms, co-ops, and fraternities. But then why even bother; it’s not that impor tant. SHORT STORIETTE: They were hidden by sitting in the swing in the moonlight alone.

NYA Funds Cut For Next Year In accordance with orders re ceived from NYA headquarters, now new assignments can be made during the current reorgan ization of the national youth ad ministration and the civilian con servation corps, Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel administration, announced Tuesday. NYA funds are scheduled for a 50 per cent cut, it was learned last week, but this cut will not affect college funds to the extent that it will curtail the number of hours available to present em ployees, according to Peggy Jane Peebler, NYA secretary. The new plans will probably affect high school appropriations and NYA projects primarily, said Dean Onthank. WHETHER IT’S SILK OR NYLON . . . EVERY PAIR IS PERFECT AT WARDS It isn't just "luck".
