New Deadline For SC Applications Salary Sot At $250 For First Manager By 6ns Bernthal The deadline for applications for the positions of business manager and assistant manager of the recently acquired Varsity shop has been extended to tomorrow afternoon, 6 p. m., announced Student council president Pete Simon yesterday. Six applications have already been presented to the examining board composed of President Kretzmann, Mr. Scribner, Student council treasurer George Reinker, and Simon, but the board could reach no decision because of the lack of further petitions. Salary Set At $250 "Evidently many competent people were reluctant to submit applications," said Simon, "because the salary had not been determined.

Applicants for manager must be either first semester seniors or second semester juniors. The assistant manager must be a junior and will succeed to the position of manager.

Faculty Critic Reviews Sykoras By Mr. Stacey Green The second musical ensemble to make its appearance on the campus this fall under the auspices of the student lyceum committee was heard on the evening of Monday, November 8, when the Sykora trio played in the University auditorium. For some reason which was not explained to the audience there were no printed programs, so the numbers played were announced from the platform. The opening number was the "Dumka" trio by the Bohemian composer Dvorak. The "Dumka," or elegy, is a Bohemian musical form employed by Dvorak to enrich the slow movements of his chamber music and his symphonies. While it is perhaps not the beet representative of chamber music, judged from all viewpoints, this trio is interesting, and it was well played by Mr. Sykora and his associates. A fine balance of parts and a sympathetic co-operation be- To Senator Norris Dear Senator Norm: We believe that there is no group of men and women in America more sincerely regretful of the events of November 3, 1942, than are the men and women of Valparaiso university. Naturally, to them an alumnus of Alma Mater has stepped into the wings from an historic career. In a more intangible sense, however, the students feel that ideals inculcated and nurtured on their own campus have suffered defeat. We rpill not admit defeat. Aa with many of the great things in life, seeming or temporary defeat does come—but the scrolls of history carry in them a more glorious epic of a life and a work well-lived. Your career in the Congress of the United States has pointed out to us one thing which we are eager to secure: moral integrity. Valparaiso university is dedicated to that principle. The Valparaiso you knew as a normal and law school student is no more; but the spirit of Brown and Kinsey —and let the critics say what they will about those men —is not dead here. The certain onward advance into a brighter tomorrow—the willingness to make an everlasting contribution to life—these still are the driving forces at Valparaiso. To you, of the Old School, we of the New, send you this vote of confidence. We want you to know that we have followed your career with profound admiration for your courage, your intellectual honesty, and your unswerving allegiance to the ideals of your Alma Mater.
