Eve Curie Tells Womren' s Peet I War (Continued from Page 1) and munitions makers toaay in France. Mile. Curie, usually gay and optim- istic, becomes serious when she speaks of the war. "The French do not con- sider it a joke," she points out. She is firmly opposed to armed aggres- sion-"we can only hope that it will be short. "However, we are prepared for a long war. Bad as the war is it is not much worse than the kind of rpeace which immediately preceded the war. We French people realize that the kind of persecution and oppression with which we have been faced these last several years cannot be tolerated. It must end forever." Of American neutrality, the young- est member of a great scientific fam- ily, states, "France is proud of Ameri- can sympathy, but does not feel that America is needed in the conflict. We have too many soldiers already." Mlle. Curie will be introduced in Hill Auditorium by Alice C. Lloyd, Dean of Women. She has contracted for forty lectures during her visit. This will be the sixth lecture of this year's Oratorical Series. All-Bach Prograin Will Be Presented For Vassar Fund Local Bach enthusiasts will be offered a veritable feast of the mas- ter's music at an all-Bach program to be given at 8 p.m. Sunday and Monday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Maier, 411 Lenawee Drive. The program, presented by the Maiers are part of a campaign to aid the Vassar College Endowment Fund, will feature Miss Marie Zorn, who has been acclaimed as one of the foremost pianist-interpreters of Bach's music. Miss Zorn's program will include six chorale preludes, 15 "little pre- ludes," the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, Three Preludes and Fugues from "The Well-Tempered Clavi- chord" and the "Italian" Concerto. Since the seating capacity of the Maier home is limited, Mrs. Maier emphasized yesterday that only 50 people will be accommodated each night, and that it is advisable to re- serve' places at once by mail or tele- phone. Admission price will be $1. Dorm Will Honor Mrs. Alfred Lloyd Mrs. Alfred Henry Lloyd, widow of the late Dean of the Graduate School, will be the guest of honor at a dinner given by residents of Lloyd House to- night, the dormitory bearing the name of Dean Lloyd..

Jordan, Professor and Mrs. DeWitt Parker, Prof. and Mrs. Roy W. Sellars, Prof. and Mrs. Charles B. Vibbert, Prof. and Mrs. Morris P. Tilley and Prof. Arthur L. Cross. Camps Paths Thj-ig*'I So - Cause Damage The old problem of vandalism and destruction of University grounds and, equipment has cropped up again with the coming of winter, building andl ground officials said yesterday. 1 Plagued throughout the fall by the paint thattwarringclasses smeared over University signs and buildings before Black Friday, the building and grounds department must now deal with the havoc caused by paths made through the snow. Paint on University property caused at least $500 damage last semester, it was estimated yesterday, and other damage such as defacing of signs and destruction of shubbery forced the University to an approximate total expenditure of $1,000. Unknown now is the amount the University will have to spend as a re- sult of the many paths hurrying stu- dents are now making. These paths which will necessitate reseeding in the spring, are all over campus, it was said. Amateur trailblazers have dispensed with the long walk from Angell Hall to the Union, having worked out a short cut that provides a perfect hy- potenuse to the walks formerly used. Ifaven Hall's approaches are now joined by homemade path, and the broad stretches about the diagonal walk are covered with a network of, paths, ingeniously formed even though unthought of by engineers. Union Smoker To Be Tuesday Spokesmen To Discuss Freshmen Activities Initial plans for the Union's activi- ties smoker held each year at. this time were announced yesterday by Charles Kerner, '41E, in charge of the program. The smoker will be held at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Union. At this time eligible freshmen will be given an introduction to the va- rious campus extracurricular activi- ties, Kerner said. Campus leaders will present the aspects of their par- ticular activities in a series of short, informal talks. Organizations that will be repre- sented on the program are: The Daily, Union, Michiganensian, Stu- dent Religious Association, Alpha Phi Omega, a scout organization, and the Society of Automotive Engineers. Refreshments will be served.
