Countess TolstOy

COUNTESS TOLSTOY

If you happened to be at the right
time on Friday, Oct. 22, you might
see a short, stocky, grey-haired wo-
man get off a train.

You might not look at her twice.
But if you didn’t, you’d miss getting
a good look at one of the most
courageous women in America today,
one who has had three attempts
made on her life and who refuses to
quit fighting Russian communists in
this country. Others will be watching
to make sure no attempt is made in
Lexington.

She is Countess Alexandra Tol-
stoy, the youngest daughter of the
famous author of “War and Peace"
and “Anna Karenina”. She will
speak that night at the opening of

the. 1948-49 season of thelexingmn,

Public Forum.

The forum is a nonprofit organi-
zation which each year brings from
four to six prominent, well-informed
speakers here to discuss matters of
current interest and answer ques—
tions on their subjects from the aud-
ience. There is no restriction on
membership; high school and col-
lege students are particularly wel-
come.

This year, besides Countess Tol-
stoy, there will be three other regular
speakers and a forum "extra”, a
roundtable conference Oct. 29 at
Memorial Hall under the sponsor—
ship of the University of Kentucky.

The others are:

Nov. 23—McGeorge Bundy, author
of the official Henry Stimson biog-
raphy, Lowell lecturer at Harvard

University this year, and recent con— ‘

sultant to the Economic Co-Opera-
tion Administration, on “Is Europe
Recovering?"

Feb. 15—Hon. Wayne Morse, lib—
eral Republican senator from Ore-
gon, jurist and author, on “The
Public’s Responsibilities In Labor
Disputes.”

Mar. 22—Dr. Edmund Sinnott,
president of the American Associa—
tion for the Advancement of Science
and director of the Yale University
Sheffield Scientific School, on
“Science—Man’s Expanding Fron-
tier.”

Tickets sell for $2.50 for the whole
season and may be bought at Graves,
Cox; at the University of Kentucky
library; from Miss Harriet Mc-
Donald, 134 McDowell road, Phone
3459, or from any member of the
board.

Ginger Receives
Letter From Peck

Miss Ann B. Peck, who is on leave
from University School, is in Munich, ,
Germany, with the Education and 3
Cultural Relations Division of the '
Office of Military Government for ‘
Bavaria.

According to a recent letter receiv-
ed from her she has been busy
studying reports of the school pro-
gram in Germany, and will advise
social studies teachers there on the
place of social studies in the secon-
dary school curriculum.

An amusing bit of European cus-
tom far removed from our habits of
faculty meetings is an account of a
meeting she attended in Augsburg.
“Generally opposed to having pic-
tures made, I’ll always regret I
couldn’t get a picture of that meet-
ing which lasted from 5:30 to 8:40.
Most of the teachers had a mug
which the waitresses kept filled with
beer. I was sorry I didn’t keep ac-
count of the number of times the
man directly across the table from
me had his filled.” Miss Peck con-
tinues, “Needless to say, I’ve thought
of the Training School, many many
times during the past weeks. I do
hape..we .hadthe usual finebegm-
ning. Please give everybody my re-
gards and I‘d surely enjoy some let-
ters."

Masque & Gavel
To Reorganize

The Masque and Gavel is reorgan-

Prickett, head of the speech depart-
ment. Emily Barron, Joyce McCar-

Leila Sherman, and George Womb-
well are the old members who will

activate the chapter. Pins have been
ordered for them.

Selections to memberships were
made last year by Miss Nancy Trol-

effect a closer relationship between
the high school and the community
through cooperative activities with
all recognized community groups.
Furthermore, they have reaffirmed
their allegiance to the United states
of America, and have pledged them-
selves to uphold its democratic prin-
ciples.”

Additional members will be selec-
ted on this basis at the end of the
semester. To become a member, stu-
dents must be juniors or seniors, and
must declare themselves candidates
for possible membership. Masque

“for the promotion of speech for

to be one of its members.

‘ Powell has been a student of Uni-

A camera club, under the sponsor—

there wil be enough interest shown

program is failure to seek and en-

A good journalism program may
be directed through many channels.
Some of them are: bulletin board

newscasts, and possibly a bureau for
outside publications.

We should remember'these sug—

at U—Hi, Dr. Plummer concludes his
article with this advice. “In the bet-

materials. They are always present,
eager to help, to participate, and to
understand. Seek them out, encour-
age them, and plan effective student
publications. A beginning now will
pay dividends next fall.”
