The Freshmen social affair will take place November 22, 1947, from Education Week Observed Here American Education Week is that time during the year when the en-tire nation is called upon by the national directors of the observance to dedicate itself anew to the task of universal education, to see and know the schools, to consider in a public way the problem of educa-tion, and to join in appreciation of its achievements. Four Sponsors This observance was inaugurated twenty-seven years ago by the Na-tional Education Association, the American Legion, and the United States Office of Education for the purpose of arousing interest in and providing opportunities for planning to build, through education, ""a world free from ignorance, preju-dice, disease, and inequalities.""

Tickets to ""Carousel"" are now available at the price of two dollars per couple, and may be obtained from any class representative�and plans are being made to provide for ticket sales in Newell Hall foyer during the lunch hours.. ""It is necessary to sell the ticket,s at $2.00,"" stated Buenneman, ""for even though this dance is in-formal, we must meet expenses."" Decoration of the gym is being handled by Millicent Pagle and Irene Gallagher, co-chairmen of the Decorating Committee. These chair-men have announced that the gym will be in keeping with the theme, for the bandstand will ""actually look like a gay carousel."" Enter-tainment being planned is also on the ""Carousel"" theme, and a Re-freshment Committee has been formed to serve refreshment during the evening. The posters and signs advertising the dance which have appeared in the school building were the work of the Publicity Committee, headed by Betty Brad-bury and Ellsworth Bunce, who claim authorship of the word ""CAFFITT"". Any students interested in helping the Freshmen class the night of the dance by checking coats, taking tickets, or other jobs connected wtih the dance, should contact president Buenneman or Sally Weld as soon as possible. Record Library Ready For Use A list of classical records for the dormitory has been compiled from the suggestions of the resident stu-dents. Miss Joan Johanson, chair-man of the committee, says that all of the single records and overtures which were requested will be pur-chased as well as ten of the sym-phonies and longer works. Rimsky- Korsakoff, Gershwin, Tschaikowsky, Rachmaninoff, Strauss, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Schubert, and Ravel are composers whose works are represented. Bill wood has contributed his al-bum of Dvorak's New World Sym-phony to the dormitory collection. The album is a Columbia recording made under the direction of Leo-pold Stokowski. According to Miss Johanson, the symphony has the distinction of being the first tangible evidence of the record collection. The Classical Record Committee, consisting of George Levine, Mary Lou Wallace, Ina Peck, Merle Younker, and Spike Hutton, has recommended a procedure for the circulation of these records. When-ever the individual signs up for the Green Room, he can at the same time present the list of records he would like to have. The faculty member will then see that the rec-ords are checked to assure that they are in perfect condition. Each re-turned album will again be checked to assure that it is in the same con-dition as when it was loaned. This system, says Miss Johanson, implies an obligation to replace any scratch-ed, broken, or chipped records so that the library may be preserved for future years. "
