NU Students First Attempted
Madrigal Singing 5 Years Ago
Madrigal singing was first at
tempted by NU students five years
ago David Foltz, director of choral
groups at the University, decided
to organize a number of excep
tionally talented singers into a
group which would develop and
make 'the most of these talents.
Each year the number of sing
ers in madrigal differs. There are
now 23 members. Madrigal singers
recei no academic credit; their
singing is purely for enjoyment.
Madrigal singing necessitates a
wide interpretation viewpoint, al
most like a string quartet, with
tones and voices pure and clean.
The slightest amount of careless
singing on the part of one person
detracts from the quality of the
group as a whole.
Members are chosen for their
nbility to follow directing, their
tonal qualities, and their accuracy
at hitting the right note all the
time. No laxity is permitted
among the members of this group.
Madrigal singing began centur
ies ago in Europe. Guests would
dine at a friend's castle and fol
lowing the meal, would sit at the
table and sing songs for hours at
a time. The host for the evening
had the privilege of directing the
after-dinner sineine.

Billoni

You know, m--1 r-
run into a joke that I think la
really clever. Hut some how iiie
Editors don't agree at leai it
never gets printed. I sort of get a
kick out of watching my column
being censored, though, or butch
ered as the case may be.
It goes something like this:
"Let's see now, Billoni, hmmm
pause) I don't get it! (pause) Oh
I see, she thought that he . . .
hmmm, well it's okay I guess.
Now this second one, 'Then there
was the college' (murmur-pause-chuckle,
girgle) . . . okay. The
weather is okay I guess. Let's see,
'An old maid was (mur murmur)
when a burglar (murmurmur) and
so finally he (murmurmur).' Ha,
ha, hee, hee, (girgle), ho, ho, ho,
aha, aha, (girgle) HA, HA, HA,
THAT'S POSITIVELY THE FUN
NIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!
Aha, aha . . . Hey, Tom, (crinkle,
crinkle) Where's the waste bas
ket?" And so it goes. But I think I
fooled them today, when I handed
in this poem:
A bather's clothes were strewed
By winds that left her quite
nude.
When a man came along,
And unless I am wrong,
You expected this line to be
lewd! 1
WORDS OF WISDOM A
woman never chases a man . . .
but then a mouse trap never
chases a mouse.
Overheard from the back seat
He: "Darling (sigh), your eyes
are like deep pools of sparkling
water; your lips are like two lit
tle red rosebuds wet with the
morning dew; your teeth are like
the finest pearls; but you have
the darndest looking nose I've
ever seen."
' Prof: "Well, class, is the theory
clear to you now?
Student: "Yeah, just as if it had
been translated into Hindustandi
by Marilyn Monroe and read to
me by a tobacco auctioneer!"
After talking with the weather
man, I can assure 70a that
there win be some tomorrow.
Then there was the psychiatrist
who had a sign out front that
read: Five Couches No waiting.
