Wilfred Feinberg Receives Honor Wilfred Feinberg, for many years a resident of Mount Vernon and a graduate of A. B. Davis High School, has been elected to the Edi- torial Board of the Columbia Law Review along with 18 other top- ranking second-year students in the Columbia Law School, it has been announced by Dean Young B. Smith. Shortly after being named to the Board, Mr. Feinberg was granted a leave of absence from the Law School and will shortly en- ter military service. The new editors were selected from a group composed of the 25 students who had attained the highest averages in their first-year work. These students engaged in the writing of material for the Re- view for the duration of the first semester of the current academic year, with those competitors whose work was outstanding being named to the Editorial Board. Each num- ber of the Review, which is one of the nation's foremost legal publica- tions, contains articles by leading members of the bar as well as work by the student editors. Mr. Feinberg, who now resides in New York City, prepared for the Law School at Columbia College, re- ceiving a B.A. degree with Honors in June, 1940. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic fraternity, and was also a member of Beta Sigma Rho. At tha Law School, he belonged to Taft Moot Court, one of the ten court clubs at the Law School which serve to give the students training in the preparation of briefs and the actual argument of cases^ All the courts participate in the annual Harlan Fiske Stone Moot Court Competi- tion, named in honor of the former Dean of the Columbia Law School who Is now Chief Justice 1 of the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Fein berg's court reached the finals of this year's competition. With numerous students entering service, the Law School has en- larged its program so that students may expedite their law studies in order to finish all or part of their courses before entering the armed forces. By adding a 14-week Sum- mer session, the school now offers three full semesters' work during each calendar year. A student can now finish the customary three- year course in two years by attend- ing six successive sessions. While all students may take advantage of the new program, those who do not wish to accelerate their studies will not be required to do so. Another innovation is that students may be- gin their law course In February or June as well as in September.

The showboat C o t t o n Blossom "docked" at William Penn School auditorium last night and its re­tinue of 40 players presented a well-balanced program of music and mirth in the Parent-Teachers As­sociation's annual entertainment, "William Penn Showboat of 1942."

The performers, members of the association and guest artists, took their capacity audience back to the days of the showboat era of the old South. Dressed in colorful cos­tumes, they presented a program of familiar melodies.

For the second half of the en­tertainment, a variety show was given on the minstrel pattern, John Sobek, Jr., wrote and directed the production.

Here, in a cozy den at the start of the show, sat "Grandfather" Charles Sprung, telling his "grandchildren," Bar­bara Sobek and Robert King, stor­ies of showboat days. As he nar­rated the story, the cast on the main stage picked up the theme— and the show was on with the opening chorus of "Here Comes the Showboat." In Romantic Leads

Romantic leads in featured mu­sical numbers were played by Mrs. Harry Whitney and John Dickson. Aided by the ensemble, they sang "Make Believe," "Why Do I Love You" and "A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody."

Another outstanding number was the rendition of Brahms" "Lull­aby" by the chorus toward the end of the second half.

"The "darky"- comedy team of Carl Schafbuch and Mrs. Caroline Curtis, offered a romantic theme in amusing vein.

In their number, "Honeysuckle Rose," they stepped down in the aisles and distributed cellophane-wrapped packets of sugar among the audience.

Mrs. Curtis was featured in an­other song with Mr. Schafbuch, "Can't Help Lovln' Dat Man."

Guest performers included Philip Carney, who gave a series of bur­lesque impressions; John Do Angelo, marimba player; Richard Marku-son, George Enke and William Deg-enhardt as "The Rookies" in a comic dance; Evertt Heer and Le-Roy Seador in a challenge dance: Norma Goldberg.

Wilfred Feinberg Receives Honor

Wilfred Feinberg, for many years a resident of Mount Vernon and a graduate of A. B. Davis High School, has been elected to the Edi­torial Board of the Columbia Law Review along with 18 other top-ranking second-year students in the Columbia Law School, it has been announced by Dean Young B. Smith. Shortly after being named to the Board, Mr. Feinberg was granted a leave of absence from the Law School and will shortly en­ter military service.

The new editors were selected from a group composed of the 25 students who had attained the highest averages in their first-year work. These students engaged in the writing of material for the Re­view for the duration of the first semester of the current academic year, with those competitors whose work was outstanding being named to the Editorial Board. Each num­ber of the Review, which is one of the nation's foremost legal publica­tions, contains articles by leading members of the bar as well as work by the student editors.

Mr. Feinberg, who now resides in New York City, prepared for the Law School at Columbia College, re­ceiving a B.A. degree with Honors in June, 1940. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic fraternity, and was also a member of Beta Sigma Rho. At tha Law School, he belonged to Taft Moot Court, one of the ten court clubs at the Law School which serve to give the students training in the preparation of briefs and the actual argument of cases^ All the courts participate in the annual Harlan Fiske Stone Moot Court Competi­tion, named in honor of the former Dean of the Columbia Law School who Is now Chief Justice1 of the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Fein berg's court reached the finals of this year's competition.

With numerous students entering service, the Law School has en­larged its program so that students may expedite their law studies in order to finish all or part of their courses before entering the armed forces. By adding a 14-week Sum­mer session, the school now offers three full semesters' work during each calendar year. A student can now finish the customary three-year course in two years by attend­ing six successive sessions. While all students may take advantage of the new program, those who do not wish to accelerate their studies will not be required to do so. Another innovation is that students may be­gin their law course In February or June as well as in September.
