ano in the School of Fine Arts.

or Opus 54."
Taking the spotlight on May 8 will
be Miss Susan Youens when she
plays Mozart's “Sonata in B flat
major K. 333", Debussy's "Suite
‘Pour lepiano’", Prokofiev’s "So-
nata No. 3 ‘From an Old Note-
book’ ". and concluding with Rach-
maninoff’s “Rhapsody on a theme of
Paganini, Op. 43" with Miss Laura
Youens as accompanist.
Davis Program Hailed 'Effective’ Nobles Recital
In his recital in the Lois Perkins
Chapel at Southwestern University
on April 30, Walter Davis of Corpus
Christi gave good evidence of his
competence as an organist and also
of his artistic judgment. His pro-
gram was effective both aestheti-
cally and historically.
The vigorous enthusiasm of Bux-
tehude was held in the baroque
settings of the two chorale pre-
ludes. Both pieces are effective.

The "Dorian Toccata" of J.S.
Bach was well played as to rhy-
thm and registration. However, in
♦he chapel, its bright vigor was
seriously hurt by a surplus of
room resonance. A discreet shor-
tening of note values and a max-
imum use of rest values would have
helped.
Samuel Wesley (1766-1837), "in-
disputably the greatest English or-
ganist of his day," was represent-
ed on the program by his "Volun-
tary in D major." The piece sug-
gests the diapasons and also the
"bully roast beef" of England.
Melodic charm was featured in
the "Rondo for FluteStop”by Rin-
ck and the “Air" by Gerre Han-
cock. A contemporary American,
Hancock has composed a charm-
ing melody which is extended in a
piece of significance.
Perhaps only the name (Bach)
guarantees the continuance of
Franz Liszt's extended improvisa-
tion on the letters B.A.C.H. Or it
may be that the paucity of large
pieces for organ from the Roman-
tic period, and by celebrated com-
posers, accounts for the perennial
return of this piece.
It is enough to say that, begin-
ning with the Liszt piece, Davis
seemed more at ease with the or-
gan.
The bow to Brian Brockless (In-
troduction, Passacaglia and Coda)
was a concession to modernity.
Two SU Coeds Assist
In Junior High Concert
Two Southwestern co-eds will be
assisting with the Georgetown Jun-
ior High School Choral concert on
May 8 at 8:00 p.m. at the Commun-
ity Center in the SanGabrielPark.
They are Miss Jan Williams, a
senior from Michigan, and Miss
Patsy Williams, senior from Dal-
las, both doing practice teaching
in the Georgetown Public Schools
this semester. They are both ma-
joring in piano and music education
for the Bachelor of Music Educa-
tion degree from Southwestern Un-
iversity this year.
Conducting the choral group will
Judy Cook of the Georgetown Pub-
lic School faculty. Accompanists
are Miss Patsy Williams and Mr.
Cook of Austin.
The program will include folk
music, numbers with an interna-
tional flavor, and colonial Ameri-
can music. Admission for the con-
cert will be fifty cents for adults
and no admission charge for stu-
dents.
Set Tonight
Donald Wayne Nobles, a senior
majoring in piano in the School of
Fine Arts at Southwestern Univer-
sity, will present a piano recital
tonight. The public is invited to
attend the concert at 8:00 p.m. in
the Alma Thomas Theatre on the
university campus.
Nobles program includes "Par-
tita No. 6 in E minor" by Bach;
"Miroirs" by Ravel; and "Sona-
ta No. 2 in 8 flat minor, Opus
35" by Chopin.
A frequent performer for var-
ious types of programs through-
out the area, Nobles has given nu-
merous recitals in Texas. During
his sophomore year at Southwest-
ern University, he was presented
in a recital in Pennsylvania. Re-
cently he was guest artist for the
state meeting of the Federation of
Music Clubs in Brownwood.
Active in campus affairs, Nobles
has been a member of the South-
western band and orchestra for
four years, the A Cappella Choir,
and is a frequent accompanist for
other campus musicians,
Currently studying piano with
Miss Drusilla Huffmaster, Artist-
in-Residence and Chairman of the
Department of Piano in the School
of Fine Arts at Southwestern Uni-
versity, Nobles formerly studied
with Mrs. Iola Bowden Chambers,
a former professor of piano at
Southwestern, but now at Brown-
wood.

The Del Mar String Quartet pre-
sented a concert at 3:00 p.m. in the
Alma Thomas Theatre today. The
concert was open to the public.
The quartet’s repertoire includ-
ed works of Vivaldi, Haydn, Moz-
art, Beethoven, Ravel, Shostako-
vich, and Kroll.
The Del Mar String Quartet is
composed of two resident members
of the music faculty of Del Mar
College and two additional mem-

"This opportunity to talk with
people outside the university
means a great deal to me, because
there is no group of specialists,
no elite group of any kind, not
scientists, not professors, not en-
gineers, not business, not lawyers, *
that I would trust to run the coun-
try. I believe very deeply in dem-
ocracy, and I would infinitely pre- - •
fer to trust my future to that mass
of people who include all elite
groups, but also butchers and bak-
ers."
On March 4, and since then as
well, professor Wald has dealt with
global concerns in part as an ex-
planation for student unrest. And
Wald is not about to blame the stu-
dents.
"The trouble with this country
and all of us is not student trouble
but adult trouble. I’m afraid we
made a mess of things, and we
take the mess for granted. If adults
exhibited a fair amount of adult
unrest, students would be glad to
stay in their classes to prepare for
that better world we keep telling
them about.
"Students don't take the mess
for granted, however, because they
don’t see a way to live decent
lives, and they don’t see a way to
be sure there is any future at all.”
Graffiti
A senior student was overheard
commenting on his "endowment"
to Southwestern as an alumni-to-
be.
Said the student:
"Well, I considered leaving the
school my SU sweatshirt but then
I realized it would probably just be
re-sold in the bookstore-and at a
higher price because it's an anti-
que!”
