lind out.

ships. The meeting will be held

and students who attend the
meeting. The leaders are: Ben
jamin Boyce of the English de
partment; Eugene Anderson of
the history department; Arthur
Murphy of the music depart
ment; and Gail Butt of the art

Tennessee Williams, author of
the University Theatre's forth
coming play, "Glass Menagerie,"
is a personal friend of Oliver
Evans, University faculty mem
ber. "It was in the summer of 1939
i that I met him for the nrst
time," Evans, an fcngnsn instruc
tor, said. "I was visiting Prov
incetown, Mass., a colony for
writers and artists. At that time
he was writing poetry ana naa
only produced a few things.
"Later, after we had sepa
rated from the colony, we kept
in contact with one another by
comoaring our works. He is still
the best literary critic I know.
He helped me out very much
with my own writing," Evans
said. , A.
Williams Wrote Introduction
"Tennessee has written an in
troduction for my own bok of

uuuna " .
by the University press. He is
well qualified to write an intro
duction for such a book because
u- rAmi7H hv manv critics
as possessing an unusual amount
of poetic qua my.
When asked how the author
received his nickname, ;'TPnn"

man's given name was Thomas
Lanier Williams. He is a direct

though living in Mississippi, his

call him "Tennessee."
In answer to a quesuun
t h e ulavwrights personality,
F.vans said that the author is ex
tremely shy and teOT sens,-,
tive. "He loves io

fh.dhtat.me between
ItaW and America. His two fa
vorite rities are New Orleans and
Rome." .
An Introvert
"He is also a very introverted
person. And the most absent
minded person-almosthoPe-
locc Funns mentioned.
To illustrate his point, Evans
said Williams had once been in
vited by Mrs. Truman to attend
a command performance of
"Glass Menagerie" at the White
House. He forgot his appointment
completely.
"He is also the worst driver I
have ever known," Evans added.
"Last summer, the two of us took
a motor tour in Italy. And it
was just one hairbreadth escape
after another. He is one of those
persons, too, who insists upon
doing all the driving himself."
Evans Explains Style
Replying to a question con
cerning his own appraisal of
Williams' stvle Evans said, "Due
to his poetic artistry, he devel
oped a stvle into his plays that
is very different. Perhaps that
is why "A Streetcar Named De
sire," and "Glass Menagerie
won Pulitzer prizes. This is
amazing since he is still young
for a noted writer only 36 years
0'"He has been quite fortunate
i in having the best of actors ana
directors to help mane ms
successful," said Evans. "An ex
ample was the late Laurette
Taylor, famous actress. Although
she was in retirement, she ac
cepted the part of Amanda, the
mother in "Glass Menagerie
without hesitation. It was as it
she had lived to make a success
in that part; it was so spectacu
lar." he continued. "She is
known as one of the finest of
American actresses, too.

Lentf, school of music faculty
members, agree that chamber
music is more pleasant to play
than solos or band and orchestra

they feel, a musician is able u)
express more feeling.
A fine example of chamber

Harrison, pianist, and Emanuel
Wishnow, violist, for a faculty

The University musicians' feel
ings about chamber music are
shared by many famous artists,
who relax bv playing in small
groups. "Much of the finest lit
erature is in chamber music
forms," Lentz explained.
He went on to say that there
is not much chamber music writ
ten for wood-winds,, and the De
bussv "Somite" is for an unusual
combination. It was one of that
composer's last works. Writing

Honor System . . .
(Continued from Page 1.)
president of the Law School as
sociation and two elected mem
bers from each class, takes the
necessary steps to assure that
every law school student under
stands what is expected of him
under the honor system. The
council receives and investigates
complaints of violations.
Infractions of the Honor sys
tem that are deemed punishable
are:
(1) The giving or attempt to
cive aid to another student.
(2) Receipt c or attempt u
receive aid from another student.
(3) Use of unauthorized mate
rials. (4) Failure to sign a pledge.
(5) Failure to report known
violations.
(6) Execution of a false report.
Although there has never been
en instance of a violation, ac
cording to the Dean, the machin
ery is set up ready for use. When
a violation is discovered, the
council notifies the violator of
the preliminary hearing to be
held at least two days after.
Expulsion Maximum Penalty.
If at the preliminary hearing
It is determined inai mere aie
facts to substantiate the case, a
date is set for a formal hearing
before the Council. The accused
is then given an opportunity to
present such testimony or evi
dence in his behalf as he desires.
Final review of the case and the
punishment is held before the
Dean and the law school faculty.
"The maximum penalty assess
able against any student shall be
expulsion from the school of law.
A lesser penalty may be assessed
jf deemed advisable in the light
cf the circumstances presented
st the hearing of the olfender."
"I wouldn't say that the Honor
System is the solution for the en
tire campus," commented the
Tioan "hut I do think that it
should be carefully considered.

satisfied that for the college of
Jaw, it is the solution of the
problem of conducting written
examinations."

to some type of the past.
Professor Boyce has pointed
out that if the discussions fol
lnw alonff as planned it will be
profitable because it will give
to students a notion oi wn;u mc

"It will give all of us a better
idea what the other art has been
doing and possibly show us
parallel reltaionship," continued
the professor.
May Be Credit Course.
Support of the new subject
could lead to inclusion of it as
a regular Universtiy credit. Such
a nmrraiti is already featured at
the majority of American uni
versities.

IVin cessions each month. '
The topic is divided into four
classes classical, medieval, re
naissance and contemporary.
References will be announced at
the meetings so that faculty and
students may do individual study
on the subject.
The aim of the program is to
inform students "by showing the
influences, social, cultural and
political, of the past and present
times on the type of works of
art produced."
In order to supplement their
economic education with appre
ciation and understanding of the

urged to attend the lectures.

Played In Orchestras
Lentz spent some time playing
chamber music in the New York
orchestras of Georges Barrere.
As a boy he played in theater
orchestras nnd then in Sousa's
band. He is at present conductor
of the University ROTC sym
phonic band.
Harrison said that he got his
start in music early, studying
three instruments. Upon enter
ing the University he played
trumpet in the band but enrolled
in electrical engineering.
"Mathematics was my favorite
subject," he said. He believes
that there is a definite' relation
ship between music and mathe
matics. "They both require an
orderly mind," he explained.
Some of the best music students
he has known have been math
or engineering majors.
Professional Accompanist
K-Tison graduated in music,
however, and beramea profes
sional accompanist, playing for
several concert artists. During
the first World War he directed
an army band. Afterward he
came to the University, where
he has been teaching continuous

At Sunday's recital, Lentz will
also play three flute solos with
Harrison as an accompanist.
These include the Allegro aperto
from Mozart's "Concerto in D
Major"; "Syrinx" by Debussy;
and "Andante Pastoral et Scher

Wishnow will play the Allegro
