director. It will seat approximately
430 people. Cases will be built into
the walls of the lounge to hold pictures and souvenirs of former Guignol productions.
The theater and lounge, located

If ninety men work five days a

the music majors and the art students and the Guignol Theater be?
That's not a riddle but a serious
problem for contractor George Hill-iarsupervisor of the crew of
specialized workers putting the final
touches on the University's new
Fine Arts Building.
We hope to have the building
fin shed by the second week in September,' Mr. Milliard said this week
with special emphasis on the
"hope." According to University authorities, the building will be completed by the opening of the fall
semester, but there will be no formal dedication until Founder's Day
in the spring.

Educators Visit UK

Two German educators visited the
University last week to inspect the

The educators, Dr. Frans Schneider, professor of economics, and Dr.
Josef Martin, professor of classical
philology, are from the University
of Wurzburg in' iavaria. Dr. Martin
is a former president of the university and currently is a member
of the Bavarian senate.

Republic of Latvia. Mr. Sternbergs
will teach etching and engraving,
his wife painting. The Latvians,
along with their twenty-yea- r
old
son. Edward, recently arrived in the
United States and are now residing
at 127 Shawnee Town.
The Sternbergs are here as a result of meeting President H. L.
Donovan in 1948, who was then on
a tour of Europe visting DP camps
in Germany.
Was Instructor At Riga
Before the outbreak of the Second
World War Mr. Sternbergs was an
art instructor at his alma mater,
the University of Riga, in Latvia.
After graduating from Riga Art
Academy in 1927, Sternbergs, as a
young artist, attended Vienna Academy in Austria where he studied
etching and engraving. Returning
to Riga, he worked for his masters
degree and teacher's certificate.
While instructing at the Academy
in Riga, the capital city of Latvia,
etchMr. Sternbergs did
ing and engraving for textbooks
and magazines. As a result of his
doing such excellent work he was
commissioned by the government
of Latvia to engrave plates for paper
money and bank notes. Things were
going well for the young artist
until the war.
Were Slave Laborers
In 1939 the German armed forces
blitzkrieged Poland and the Red
Army of Russia surged forward to
meet them, splitting Poland In half.
One year later, in order to con
free-lan-

solidate their position along the
Baltic coast the Russians forcefully occupied Latvia. Under Russian occupation intellectuals such as
artist Sternbergs were blacklisted.
The University of Riga ceased to
function.
When Germany attached Russia
the occupation of Latvia changed
hands, but life was no better under
the Germans.
The tide of the war changed and
the Russians began their long march
on Berlin. The Germans retreated,
razing Latvia, and taking along
with them thousands of Latvians,
the Sternbergs included, for slave
labor. The Sternbergs were first
assigned to do farm work in eastern
Germany.
Kept Diary
There was no stopping the Russians so the Sternbergs had to move
again. From the pages of a tiny,
frayed diary, Mr. Sternbergs read
in broken English an account of his
family's trip ahead of the Russians
to Tiringen near Vienna. Here they

After a most disagreeable dinner
(corn beef a la Jiggs), we are In- spired to take typewriter in hand
and give you a brief list of improve- ments which should be made at
our University.
First, we want a name given to
the amphitheater. Why doesn't the
University see that "Amphitheater

place? Let's honor a contemporary
dean and call it, say, Carpenters

Second, the band clinic last week

have musical ability which
will not be used in the "Best Band

only boys exercise their talents on
days? This

This should not happen.
Let's have skirts in the band.
Third, we have a group of schol- -

quality and quantity would be cor- related. It would be passible for

Hence many students wouldn't be

We think that the army of apple

be eliminated.
These nonsense question-askeand

annoy the average student. They
aste our time and tne instructors'
time. It is our belief that it is the
duty of each professor to gag every
appie polisher on his class roll. Thus,
education would mark ever onward.
our last scholastic improvement is
the establishment of an undergrad- uate handicap. This handicap
