STUDENT ENTERTAINERS FIND SERVICES NEEDED

The Entertainment Bureau recently organized by the Students' Employment Office to assist in handling the large number of calls for students to furnish entertainment of various kinds at clubs, churches, private schools, and children's parties has already proved to be one of the most popular of facilities.

This Bureau was organized on October 15. Since that time the more important private schools, all of the Protestant churches in this vicinity, and a large number of patrons who have asked for assistance at various times in the past, have received announcements, advising them that this service is available.

The personnel of the Bureau at the present time consists of several excellent musicians who can furnish either classical or dance music, two ventriloquists, an harmonica player, two men who have entertained extensively with their acts of magic, clog dancers, a student who has visited Alaska in an attempt to scale Mount Fairweather, a young American who holds the world's record for speed in climbing the Matter horn, and Chinese, Hindu, and Russian students who are prepared to lecture on different phases of life in their respective countries. These lectures are illustrated with colored slides.

At the present time the Bureau is covering only a very limited field. It has been suggested by the headmaster of one of the local private schools that the scope of the Bureau should be broadened to include young men who are capable of delivering entertaining and instructive lectures on such subjects as Geology, Astronomy, Music, and Fine Arts. Plans are now under way for carrying out this suggestion.

R.T. Sharp '27, acting head of the Bureau, declared that he believed that the new entertainment bureau would provide an opening for Harvard students to capitalize on their various abilities and that eventually the new project would become a very important part of the Employment Office's work.
