Choir to Appear
First Symphony Performance
which Carapetyan's selection is
taken.
Thin composition is remarkable
for the ingenious manner in which
the words are set. Strongly rhy-
thmical, and consistently cheerful,
it might well be considered a sacred
madrigal.
A second selection to be pre-
sented by the choir will be Et
Misericordia from "The Magnifi-
cat," by Claudio Monteverdi, Ital-
ian composer and music reformer

Campus music lovers attending
the first performance of the Sym-
phony orchestra Oct. 22 will find
an extra treat in store for them.
Assisting the orchestra at that
time, the A Cappells choir will
appear for the first time under the
direction of Caro M. Carapetyan,
who assumed direction of the North
Texas choir this fall after six
years in the same capacity at Kent
State university in Ohio.
Carapetyan will direct the 56-
voice choir in a group of choral
works by composers of the Renais-
sance period, including a composi-
tion by John Amner, Sweet Are
the Thoughts, transcribed and
edited by Carapetyan.
Amner, 17th century English
organist and composer, spent his
life in and around Ely, near Lon-
don, and attended Oxford univer-
sity, obtaining a bachelor of mu-1 to be presented in December, are
sic degree in 1613. His only printed ! being held in the music hall
work is a book of hymns for three, j auditorium at 7 p.m. on Tues-
four, five, and six parts from! days and I p.m. on Fridays.
Teachers Needed
To Sing Messiah
Dr. Walter Hodgson, denn of
the School of Music, urgea all
faculty members who would tike
to Ming in Handel's "Messiah"
to contact him immediately.
Rehearsals for the "Messiah,"
Sessions Welcome Acts;
Emcee Posts Remain Open
Tin- jam sessions are strictly a
community project, according to
Gene Hall, lab band director.
"Anybody that can do anything
can do something on the jam ses-
sions," Hall said. He mentioned
that any kind of act from dogs to
elephants would be welcome.
He went on to say that if nobody
offered his services, the lab band
would play und students could
dance.
The emcee post in the sessions
is open tn anybody wno happens
to know a few jokes—clean, that
is and will announce the numbers.
Anyone wishing to act as emcee
should contact Hall as soon us
possible. According to Hall, the
emcee role will not be filled by
any one person for all of the jam
sessions.
"It's strictly an impromptu af-
fair," Hall stated.
of the Renaissance period.
Monteverdi, a pupil of Ingegneri,
displayed great dramatic powers
and rose from obacurity to become
one of the leaders of the musical
Renaissance. In drama and har-
mony, his operas, madrigals, and
religious works were far in ad-
vance of his time.
Also to be heard on the program
are two more religious works, Ju-
das Marcator Pessimus by Victoria
and 0 Admirabile Commerclum by
Gallus.
The NT A Cappella choir has
long been noted as one of the out-
standing organisations of its type
in the country and under the direc-
tion of Carapetyan. the group's
reputation should be enhanced even
more with the rendition of the aa«
'actions previously mentioned.
Beginning his first year at the
head of the choir, Carapetyan will
have a nucleus of veteran members
to build around. Approximately
one-third of the personnel are for*
mer members.
Aside from tentative appear-
ances on the campus, the first
scheduled out-of-town performance
will be on Nov. 30 at Corsicana.

College players must maintain a

During try-outs last Thursday

awarded a bonus for his acting

Minton won a box of candy for
his skill in interpreting a cut from
"Afraid of the Dark."
L. A. Kendrick, who received
the not-so-popular "booby" prize,
had to chomp on a package of bub-
ble gum. Kendrick's stunt was a
skit concerning the woes of a
vacuum cleaner salesman.
Other presentations included a

Barter theatre, founded by Rob-
ert Porterfield w hen the depression

actually had to "barter" goods to
be able to affod tickets, has
climbed to success in both Ameri-

In l 3!l, Porterfield returned to
his home in the highlands of Vir-
ginia and gathered a group that
would sell their theatrical services

Movies, Dancing Prove Favorites;
Fine Arts, Football Place Second
by KRNIK MARTIN
Chat Society Kditor
What to do on a date in Denton ?
It's movies first with dancing
tunning a close second.
Three local movie houses offer
a varied program ranging from
shoot-'em-up-alive westerns to the
newer musical comedies.
After show business comes danc-
ing. Almost any week night is
good for a clubhouse date, arid
the Wednesday night brawl on the
slab ia still an old favorite.
It shouldn't be too difficult to
wrangle a few dales for the many
functions sponsored by sororities
and fraternities that will lie get-
ting under way soon.
The Supper theatre offers a com-
plete evening of entertainment. It
will open again the laat of Novem-
ber.
Not to be overlooked in the ways
and means to spend time are the
numerous apeakera brought to the
campus by various organisations.
The fine arts committee brings
such events as Polgar and the
Barter theatre, the Metropolitan,
and celebrated diva, Kirs ten Flag-
stad.
Home football games draw good \
crowds, as do the pre-game ac-'
tivities such a* snake dunces und
pep rullies.
No matter what night the stage
show is held there is always a
good attendance. Where else can
you see a pit orchestra, stage show,
ami a movie with all the trimmings
for 30 cents?
It seems that no one has to have
a reason for giving a party any
more. Clubs and individual groups
can always give a picnic or dance
at Lake Dallas or the clubhouse.
If yon and your date are an
energetic couptv you may lie in-
terested in bowling at the Varsity
alleys or play a less strenuous 18
holes of miniature golf.
Then, of course, there's always
Fort Worth.
Quiet please,
the typewriter is
down again.
For fast, accurate,
and low-cost repair work take you machine to
