Is fashion a form of ugliness so intolerable that we must alter it Francescatti Highlight Of Season Zino Francescatti, one of the worlds greatest violinists, provided the best single performance of the symphony season Friday night. The mellow tone of his Stradivarius flowed through the Beethoven Concerto smoothly, with clarity in even the most difficult passages. Maestro Abravanel and the orchestra were at their best in their support of the soloist FYancescatti played so grace fully that he made the con certo look easy, yet the ca denza in the first movement, for example, demonstrated an almost impossible degree of technical skill and evoked applause at the end of the movement from audience and orchestra alike. The soloist played the second movement at a slower pace than it is usually played, yet his interpretation lent only richness of quality to the music. In the third movement, his best, he resumed that standard fast speed of the movement in a brilliant and exciting finish.

Hey, to be the 'ultimate weapon. started the concert in a gay, happy mood. The different, pretty, almost oriental beauty of Ravels Mother Goose Suite followed, transporting the audience to a delightful world Of make believe. The music in the Ravel selection was to the words. Ethereal music described the Sleeping Beauty, Hop o My Thumb had a gentle and pretty lilt to it, and slow, oriental music with quietly impressive clangs of the cymbals brought to mind real pagodas. In Debussys Iberia the rhythm and excitment of the streets, the night fragrance hanging suspended in air, and the gaiety and festivities of the following morning were all well described. Unfortunately the night lasted too long. Once I planted a vine be- side a trellis. How carefully I tended the little sprout, watering it and teaching the tendrils to twine about the slats. Warmed by the strong sun, and nourished by the refreshing rain, the vine grew, and began to unfold, and in a little while it began to provide cooling shade, and became a thing of beauty. But one dark night there came a storm, The wind blew furiously, and the rain fell in torrents, The next morning, when I looked at the little vine, it was lying prone on the ground, half submerged in muddy water. Then what did I do? I stooped down and tenderly lifted the fallen vine out of the mire, and twined it carefully about the trellis again. In places I fastened its tendrils to the slats with pieces of soft string, and it began to hold up its head once more. Then I watched it grow day by day, and observed with pleasure that the vine I had lifted up was taking a fresh hold. Warmed by genial rays of sunshine, it gave renewed promise of a strong plant, and I was happy. For I ever think to be as considerate of my fellowmen the men and women who suffer, and weep, and waver, and fall as I was of that little vine, that knew neither pain nor pleasure? Am I as eager to lift up my brother man who has fallen low? Let us give men and women, with undying souls, as fair a chance to begin life over as we would an insignificant plant. Author UnkowTt . Letter To The Editor I have been watching the chain of events which have taken place at this school for a period of years and have been greatly dismayed by the situation I find. So many people are concerned today with matters superfluous in nature, but have not begiin to realize the significance of life and what it should be. We all came to college with hopes of reaching maturity, receiving knowledge and even finding a mate. But, what has been lacking here is the search for understanding. The times have placed us on the brink of the greatest disaster ever knowm to an individual, a nation, and a world. Why have we reached such a point? Because no one can see beyond his own personal life. Its always how much can I get for myself and not what can I do to help toward a deeper understanding with those I know and may meet later. This problem may have faced me more particularly because of the fact that I am a minority race. I have seen what can happen through lack of mutual understanding. Need I mention the present and past sit-in- s events? Before we can attain maturity, it is of the greatest necessity to begin a constant and careful examination of our lives and goals. No one Salt Managing Editor Managerial Staff Political Editor Feature Editor News Editor Sports Editors Business Manager Assistant Photographer Contributors Lake City, - We, in America are always asking for contributions to the United Nations, Radio Free Europe, etc. But, own illiteracy I do dare to the club? dream problems of and such. Why must we a- lways go outside to help? We appear hypocrites in the eyes of those whom we try most to impress. Democracy is the best way, or so. we say; how do we know when we havent a real democracy on which to base our statement? Should other countries be like America with its discriminations and false policies? How can you have a true democracy if you refuse the rights of those inferior to you? In a democracy there are no inferiors but only those who do with what they have and are forced to do so. This is my country, and this, my school, but they both before the need principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and pro Christo et libertati can be expressed truthfully. Dont let small college for small minds be true here. Yours respectfully, Joy L.
