Faculty to Get Lowdown
On Birds, Bees, Flowers
(Editor’s note: Faculty members who wish further infor
mation may contact the Odeon committee.)
The committee for faculty enlightenment announced Wed
flfi&day that they have been able to obtain a world renowned
authority who has consented to prepare an address for the
sexual enlightenment of the faculty.
“It was with great difficulty,” the chairman said, “that the
committee was aoie to ootam me
services of this noted expert.”
This famous authority is at
present holding down a chair in one
of the nation’s institutions of
higher learning. He is librarian
emeritus of the Krafft-Eping room
at the University of- Vienna and
is author of the standard classic,
“An Investigation of Normal and
Abnormal Sexual Manifestations
Among the Natives of the Came
roons, as Observed by the Author,
With Special Regard to Their
Eating Habits.”
This eminent figure has held
chairs in three universities on the
continent and received four honor
ary degrees.
Students See Light
The committee for faculty en
" liglitenment was formed recently
after the love and marriage lecture
series which was given for the
benefit of the students.
Preceeding these lectures, some
eminent authority on love and
marriage, usually a consultant of
a nationally famous women’s club
or magazine, is invited to speak
at an all campus assembly.
Fireside Chats
Following this speech, the head
of the family relations department
and other department heads and
faculty members, go to various
firesides to discuss and impart the
story of creation to the under
graduates. After the talk, the stu
dents spend from three fourths to
one hour asking questions which
usually lead to the embarrassment
of everyone present.
Concern for Faculty
Feeling that the enlightenment
of the faculty was of tremendous
importance, the committee went to
great lengths to enlist the aid of
this well known authority.
In a letter which this noted
scholar sent to the committee, he
said, “Having found these intimate
sessions highly successful and of
value to students, I feel that some
effort should be made for the bene
fit of the faculty.”

Career of 'Later Stravinski’
Subject of Lecture April 30
"The Later Stravinski,” will be the subject of a program
slated at the school of music auditorium April 30 at 8 o’clock.
In what promises to be a significant event in local music circles,
Dr. Arnold Elston, assistant professor of music, will discuss
the new aesthetic theories of Stravinski, and will illustrate these
with impressions of the Russian composer’s more recent com
positions.
Ur. Elston and Mrs. Louise
Robson will play Stravinski’s
“Sonata for Two Pianos,” written
in 1943-44, and George Boughton,
assistant professor of violin and
Mrs. Saga Collin Boughton will
perform on the same program two
movements from the “Duo Con
certante for Violin and Piano,”
another work distinctive of Stra
vinski's new style of neo-classicism.
Music Accepted
According to Elston, the general
public has not accepted the music
which Stravinski has produced
since the change of style in his
composing technique began to take
place in the early twenties. He. ex
plained that the public, while still
fascinated by the composer’s first
successes, such as the ballets “The
Firebird,” “Petrouchka,” and the
"Rites of Spring,” has not learned
to appreciate the new Stravinski
