of them in the Union, and everyone
of them is receiving more salary than
they did before they joined," he ex-
plained.
Dormitory workers have uttered
several grievances, among them the
lfat that each woman maid is re-
cluired to clean 42 rooms a day; that
there are undue penalties for days
missed; that wages are low, and
that southern employes are given
preference.

Nelson Reveals
Center's Plans
For New Term
To Offer English Classes
To Improve Speech
Of ForeignStudents
Several novel features are included
in the International Center's schedule
of activities for this semester, Prof.
J. Raleigh Nelson, director, announced
yesterday.
For the first time the Center will
offer classes designed to better the
English of foreig students at the
University. Instruction in speech and
vocabulary will be given free of
charge, without University credit;
students must attend classes regu-
larly.
The class in English will be con-
ducted by Adeline Pierce of the Uni-
versity Speech Clinic and Aileen Tra-
ver, who has done considerable work
in linguistics.
Also initiated this semester in the
Center's program is the conference
on education. Those foreign students
who have attended universities
throughout the world plan to discuss
and exchange ideas on education.
Plans will be discussed at a tea Feb.
29. Prof. Habib Kurani of the Ameri-
can University at Beirut, Syria, will
act as chairman of the group.
Programs of lectures will be given
each Sunday evening this semester.
Moving pictures will be shown on
Mondays, and the classes in English
will be given from 7 to 8 p.m. each
Tuesday and Thursday. Musical pro-
grams will be given on Wednesdays.
There are more than 26,000 plants
in the Clark University herbarium.
Julius Caesar' Cast To Wear
Authentic Elizabethan Costumes
Play Production's Version
Of Drama To Be Given
At LydiaMendelssohn
Play Production's Elizabethan ver-
sion of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar,"
to be given Wednesday, Feb. 21,
through Saturday, Feb. 24, in the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, will bring
true Elizabethan costume to the stage,
costumer Emma Hirsch explained yes-
terday.
Elizabethan costume, she added, is
sophisticated and stiff, with lots of
fluff, but all this is being toned down
and softened for the forthcoming
play. "Julius Caesar," she comment-
ed, presents stark tragedy, to which
puffiness would be detrimental. Along
the same line, decorations and jewels
will be kept at a minimum.
Period costumes were not in use in
Shakespeare's time, Miss Hirsch ex-
plained, so the actors performed in
their own clothing, in true Elizabeth-
an style. By presenting "Julius Caes-
ar" in real Shakespearian style, she
added, Play Production is doing away
with anachronisms so prevalent in
modern versions of the play.
