Popular Lecture Series

The Students' Association is sponsoring a series of topical informative addresses by people who really know their stuff from A to Z. These will be held fortnightly in the Gymnasium except when music will be played when they will be held in the Music Room.

Our first speaker is Mr. Stanley Oliver, who will speak on "Music in Soviet Russia." This will be in the Music Room and will be liberally illustrated with recordings.

Mr. Oliver, who is the well-known conductor of the Wellington Choral Union, will make special reference to the famous Soviet composer Shoshto-kavich and excerpts from his Fifth Symphony will be played.

"Venereal Disease" is the subject of Dr. Hubert Smith's talk on April 6, which will be illustrated with films. Dr. Smith is Medical Officer of Health for Wellington and spoke to a crowded audience at the College at the end of last term.

Dr. Harold Silver stone will talk on April 20 about "The Communist Parties in the World Anti-Fascist Front." Dr. Silver stone is secretary of the Wellington District Committee of the Communist Party of New Zealand.

Lectures will start in the Gymnasium at 8. They are free and open to all University students and Training College students. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. There'll be supper too.
