GOOD MUSICIANS
"I am fortunate in obtaining

sicians, score sheets are only black

said
After completing college, Cuo
mo hopes to write music scores for!
theater productions "1 enjoy all!
types of music," the music major
stated.
"By writing scores for plays, |
you realize whether your work is
good or bad and receive just praise
for it," Cuomo said. "Often in a
classroom, a teacher will grade a
score and file it, leaving it to col- j

Jazz" at 2.30 p m Sunday in the
Music Recital Hall Breeden and
the 1 O'clock ljib Band will be

Sunday Forum Series sponsored

jazz," Breeden said He plans to
present jazz in such a manner
that students will lie able to hear
and understand some of its com-
plexities.
"We are going to discuss the
high points of the basic material
that jazz encompasses, and the
band will demonstrate how the
sounds are coordinated," he ex-
plained.
UNDER MICROSCOPE
Breeden said he would be put-
ting jazz under a microscope
He wants to show the distinct
sounds of jazz and help people
hear more of what goes into the
music.
"Our main purpose is to show
the uniqueness of jazz, why it
qualifies as jazz, and what, jazz
really is," Breeden concluded.
The NTSU Lab Band is well
known not only on campus for
its abilities, but all over the
country For example, in I960
and I'.Wil the group won first
place at the Notre Dame Col-
legiate Jazz Festival In 1969 the

cians' "Best New Band" Contest

Price Puts on Show
Actor's Audience Spellbound
By BILL CASK
Vincent Price did not deliver
a speech Wednesday night in the
Main Auditorium he gave a
performance.
Combining his format of "The
Enjoyment of Great Art" with
"The Art of America Itself,"
Price reproduced three great
American "voices" — Walt
Whitman, James Abbott Whist
ler and Tennessee Williams
AMKRICA CULTURED
"America is the most cultured
nation on the face of the earth,"
Price said. "We are the most
creative in the visual arts; the
most prolific laiok writers and
the most avid composers of
songs Yet we are gullible
enough to believe that we are
what the Europeans say we are
— a nation without a back
ground." It is voices such as
Whitman, Whistler and Wil-
liams, Price said, that make
America sit up and take notice
of itself
The audience was treated to
the "rich and sonorous voice"
of Whitman, the "good, gray
poet" who had heard America
singing and said "the body is not
greater than the soul, and the
soul is not greater than the
body and nothing, not even
God, i« greater to one than
oneself."
INTRODUCED WHISTLER
Price introduced the indomita-
ble Whistler, famous for the
painting "Whistler's Mother."
with a number of anecdotes
Whistler, who entitled his auto
biography "The Gentle Art of
Making Enemies," once refused
to gaze at the stars with a
friend liecause "there are so
many of them and they are so
badly arranged " Price then
rendered one of Whistler's lec-
tures in the manner he supposed
the great painter would have
read it to an audience of adverse
critics
Easily the most dramatic
point of the evening was Price's
reading of the dialogue from
iiHiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiinmtHmHmKmumtiiiRUiiHiiiii
"The ',ast of My Gold Watches,"
a one-act play by Williams,
price's portrayal of a 78-year
old man nearing his death held
the audience spellbound The
closing lines: "The world I knew
is gone, gone, gone with the
wind My pockets are full of
watches that tell me my time is
almost up Who is going to pre
vent it? It ain't even late in the
day any more It's night, night
night," brought a burst of
applause that interrupted the
actor's conclusion for several
minutes.
Standing ovations brought
Price back onto the stage three
times and then he was trapped
in the wings by students seek
ing autographs and conversa-
tions that ranged from modern
art by Salvador Dali to modem
music by the Beatles.
After leaving the Main Audi-
torium, Price went to an art de-
partment reception in the Art
Building, where he charmed on-
lookers by pretending mock hor-
ror at some of tiie more modern-
istic art objects on display. But
he became engrossed in other
works by members of the art
faculty
Before the night was over,
one could easily understand
what a previous critic of Price's
lectures meant when he wrote
that "Vincent price made the
evening eloquent."
