Critic, Actor Go Before 'Mike ★ ★ ★ ★ Discuss Years Ago' Merits
"Years Ago,” current drama department production, will be the topic discussed on KTRO s new program. “What About This?” tonight at 8:30.
Al Hurwitz and Dick Eshleman are to be featured on the program, which is moderated by Ray Lieber-man of the KTRO staff. Eshleman. DT editor, is a critic of SC’s drama department, while Hurwitz frequently appears in campus drama productions. and is director of the torthcoming Varsity show.
"What About This?” produced by
Dean Lierle Jr., KTRO assistant manager, examines some phase of ; campus entertainment each week.
‘•While there is an underlying purpose to inform.” Lierle said, “the j chief emphasis is on entertainment, and I think there have been times when 'this program could rival any comedy show on the air. This may i be truer than true when Eshleman and Hurwitz sit down at the mike ; tonight.’’

the elucidation of the student body, a most attractive picture of the female members of the singing cast of his production. It may be seen above.
According to Langdon. the girls have been devoting a very large amount of their time of late to rehearsals and other work in don-nection with the production of this year’s show.
He declared that the cast has been knocked about from pillar to post in trying to find a place in which to rehearse.
TELLS TROUBLES “First it was 318 Student Union,” said Langdon. “then the PE building. Then the singers resorted to the use of Touchstone theater over in Old College. Lately they have been mistaken time and again as janitors as they roamed about the Student Lounge each night going about the job of rehearsing for ‘No Love.’ *
"Adding that rehearsals have also been held in 418 ’ Student Union, Langdon said that in spite of these obvious difficulties, the cast has been most cooperative, as have Prof. William deMille, Dr. Lois Ell-feldt, and other members of the faculty who have been very helpful in assisting in the task of whipping the show into shape for its presentation to the student body and the public on the 15th.
TICKETS ON SALE Tickets went on sale last week on campus, being hawked by members of the YWCA.
Langdon pointed out that proceeds of the show will go toward construction of a proposed new building which the Y plans to erect, and which will offer facilities to various campus organizations for meeting places and centers of social activity.
He stated also that a booth is to be erected very soon, probably in front of Bovard auditorium, where tickets for “No Love Atoll” will be sold at a moderate price.

“Racial Tensions in America,” is the topic of the talk to be given in the art and lecture room of the University library.
WORKERS MOVE
“The south at the present time I is realizing# that a lot of its labor supply has drifted away as Negroes have moved to other parts of the country. The south is advertising increased advantages it can offer to Negroes in order to induce some of them to return,” Dr. Locke said He has divided his talk into two parts. In the first part he will discuss specific tensions between Ne-apro-white populations and between Jewish-Gentile groups. In 'the second portion of the talk Dr. Locke will tell of modifications of prejudices now oresent against. tbese races.
POPULATION DROPS Emphasizing the largeness of the racial tension problem in the United States. Dr. Locke pointed to statistics regarding the percentage of Negroes in America. Between 1910 and 1940 the percentage of Negroes living in the south has declined from 89 per cent to 77 per cent, while the proportion of population

Courses offered to members of the CAP include pilot-training, radio, navigation, meteorology, and upon completion give C.A.A. approved certificates.
Bill Poole, president of AER, sponsor of the campus section of the CAP, mentioned that all persons interested in joining the Trojan group could get applications in 128 Old College.
