Lectures Here
Depression's Over!
Workers, Not Jobs,
Now at Premium
Times have changed!
No longer are students seeking
work to help them through college
or to get their tuition paid.. Instead,
the employers are doing the hunting!
Faculty members need typists, the
college laundry needs laundry workers, restaurants need waitresses,
business men need part time book
keepers and society matrons are in
need of dish washers.
Reports from the Dean of
Women's office show there is a demand for many more part time student workers. At the beginning of
summer school, there were 42 positions open on the campus and only
25 applicants. Of these, many are
doing double the work usually given.
Besides the positions available on
the campus, there are calls from
business men and private homes
that have not been filled.
Princess Te Ata appeared as the
second assembly number in the
college auditorium last Monday
evening. She interpreted Indian
songs and dances.
Indian Lore Told
By Princess Mia
Beauty- of Dances, Songs Interpreted for Assembly Audience Here.
Beauty of Indian folk dances,
songs, and stories was shown by
Princess TeAta, Chickasaw Indian
interpreter of American folk lore at
the assembly Monday night, July 7.
"Everyone loves a storyteller,
whether young or old", said Princess Te Ata. The Indian story accounting for the first white man,
Negro, and Indian gave the assembly group a chance to show their
appreciation, for which Princess Te
Ata was also duly appreciative.
Princess Te Ata showed an Indian
cradle and demonstrated how the
papoose is carried by its mother,
pointing out the advantages their
method has over the American
mother's way.
The Indian stories, dances, and
songs belong to all Americans and
should be kept for the people of tomorrow was the hope expressed by
Princess Te Ata.
Te Ata, Chickasaw Choctaw Indian from Tishomingo, Oklahoma,
attended Indian schools. She also
attended Oklahoma Women's college
and Carneige Tech. Te Ata interpreted old Indian folk materials, including pantomanic speech, masks,
and English translation of Indian
lyric.
Enrolment Back
To Normal Figure
Decrease   from   Last   Summer's   Number   Less   Than
•   Expected.
Central Michigan college's decreased enrolment for the 1941 "sum-
-f-mer ^session is-tnuchr-Iess-tr
predicted by college officials. With
720 students enroled, including 40
graduates, the summers enrolment
is back to normal again from last
summer's exceedingly high peak of
1000.
Last year's peak was due to the
state department ruling that all
teachers without degrees must have
completed ten additional semester,
hours of college work by the end of
the 1940 summer session. Many
teachers put this off until the last
moment which meant an enormous
increase in enrolment last summer.
The regulation also requires 10
semester hours of college work .to
be completed every succeeding
three-year period by those who do
not have degrees, which will bring
the summer enrolment to its height
again in 1943.
National defense was expected to
cut into the enrolment more than
it apparently did. With both selective service and industrial expansion, the summer enrolment is much
higher than had been expected.
Robinsons Mark Fortieth
Anniversary of Wedding
Prof. Frank E. Robinson, head of
the commerce department at Central Michigan college, celebrated
with Mrs. Robinson their 40th wedding anniversary June 12.
Mr. Robinson is also mayor of Mt.
Pleasant.
English Print Exhibit Placed
In Second Floor Art Cases
An exhibition of color lithographs
has been placed in the second floor
foyer  art   cases  for  three  weeks.
The   prints,   according   to   Mrs.
Margaret S. Millar, head of art department, represent a wide range of
painting in England up to the time
of the war. Many of the artists are
well known in America, some having
been represented in the New York
apid San" Francisco. World's Fairs:
John Piper, Robert Medley,. Erie
Ravilious' and/Edward Wadsworth:.
Most of these' men have since' been
appointed by the British Govern
ment official war artists assigned to
various divisions such as Air Raid
precautions, Admiralty and the
Army, for the purpose of recording
the events and effects of the war.
The lithographs were published a
year ago by the English firm, "Contemporary Lithographers, L t d."
which was founded .to provide the
public with original prints in color
by living artists which could' be
purchased at moderate prlces."Dup-
licates of these prints', may be' purchased through The Museum of
■Modern Art, 11 West BStd street,
New York.
Industrial Group
Plans Luncheons
A weekly luncheon for the purpose of enabling everyone interested
to exchange ideas and opinions on
problems in industrial arts and vocational education, will be a feature
of the summer session. It is planned
to have these luncheons on Wednesdays at 11:30 in the small dining
room at Keeler Union. Outside
speakers may be brought in, but
for the most part, the meetings will
consist of informal discussions with
everyone having the opportunity to-
contribute.
The tentative list of subjects includes such topics as the National
Defense Program in Michigan, Developing Community Interest in Industrial Arts, 4-H Club Handicraft
Work, and Teaching Aids in Industrial Arts. One or more meetings will
be devoted to a question and answer
program at which questions submitted will be presented to the group
for discussion.
150 Take Part
In First Group 'Sing9
The first session of the fourth
annual Central Michigan college
community sing called forth about
150 students to sing on the green in
front of Warriner Hall last Tuesday
night. Verne Stockman, assisted by
Miss Edith Nelson, accompanist, led
the group in "Songs We Sing." Since
the weather-man turned the tables
and provided a chilly night, the
songs helped warm the crowd.
The second edition of the 1941
Community Sing was to take place
last night. It is a regular Tuesday
night feature on the social calendar
of the summer session.
