By JERRY ZUBER There can be no doubt that the - Town Hall ffoers were well pleased with last night's performance, for fiv^ encores before they would re lease the Robert Shaw Chorale to go to the reception held in its honor at* the Music Hull.

Italian, French, und Spanish, It could not mias the beauty and depth, of har> inony that the choral group acldev> d«<- under the aide direction of Robert Hhaw, J ‘ . Shaw's amusing comments before each number kept the audience ( . chuckling. He showed no hesitation in breaking Into the middle of two numbers to insert humorous re marks. r The emmlnent young choral di rector won his way into the hearts .—of those present with a smile as 1 big as all outdoors and his boyish manner. He. seemed far too young to be at the head of a group of 40 artists with the poise skill, and competence which he showed last night. . ', The versatility of the group was proved at the close of the program, when after almost two hours of heavy music, it swung into some of the most simple folk songs sung in grammar school—and they brought down the house. The Cho rale’s rendition of several negro spirituals left nothing to be de sired and in the words of Shaw himself, “If you ithink we can do better than that, you’re crazy.” Student Cards Will Be Needed College agencies will com mence u&e of student identifi cation card 9n November 2-, according; to Bennie A.

WASHINGTON, OD—the order of payment of the $2,800,000,000 special insurance dividend to World War Hj veterans will be based generally on the last three digits of a veteran’s service serial number. The Veterans Administration explained for the first time the system under which checks life insurance policies. Payments will be mailed to Veterans holding national alre to begin in January. Under the procedure, VA said, a veteran whose serial number ends in 000—^35,496,000 for example—will be included in the first mailing of checks. On the other hand, a veteran with a serial number such as 100,990 will be among the last to receive his check, j The VA said this method of payment iwas decided upon after careful consideration, and described it as the; most non-discriminatory that copld be devised, I The full serial number has nothing to do with the order of payment—merely the last I three digits. Likewise, the number on the card which VA sent to applicants Acknowledging claiihs has nothing to do wjlth it. i[ I i- IP . • r![ r T ‘ Seniors By THE BATTALION CO-EDITORS •The Senior class voted 133 to 5} last night to reconsider its previous decision, and to oppose a midnight yell practice in Houston.
