Choral fete
wins favor
University singers score
success with concert
A brilliant display of color and
song marked the first annual pre
sentation of the Winter Choral
Festival, presented by the Uni
versity Singers, men's glee club,
and concert ensemble Sunday,
Jan. 22, in the coliseum. Under
the able baton of Director William
n iVmnel the sine-era and instru
mentalists displayed fine talent
and enthusiasm for their work.
The lighter type of music which
predominated in this program
seemed to find favor with the
large audience, which especially
applauded the opening number,
Sicmund Romberg's popular "Sol
diers of Fortune." Don A. Lentz
directed this number, which was
sung by the glee club and was
nrromnanied hv the picked instru
mental ensemble. Another number
which was especially well sung by
the glee ciud was me wen Known
"I Love a Parade," ry Alien.
"Sweetheart" Series.
An instrumental prologue, com
bining the best-loved tunes of
Victor Herbert's "Sweethearts,"
opened the second part of the pro
gram, "Sweethearts on Parade."
Henry Brahinsky, violinist, uon
Hrtitmnn. flutist, and Duane Har
mon, cornetist, displayed fine
technique and tone quality in their
solos. Featured in this presenta
tion were Louise Stapleton, so
prano, who sang "Sweethearts,"
and tenor Nate Holman, who sang
"For Every Lover Must Meet His
Fate." Both demonstrated unusual
ability in their solos.
New scarlet robes worn by the
University Singers added to the
attractiveness of the stage, as
those students stood high up on
graduated tiers and sang with
beautiful precision and effective
ness. The well-known "Stars of
the Summer Night" emphasized
unusual chord modulations; Mar
tha McGee, soprano, was soloist
in this number. Director Tempel's
unique interpretation of "When
Day Is Done," by Katschcr, was
well-executed by the Singers, who
thoroughly demonstrated their
ability for precision and fine
pinging.
The concert ensemble, directed
v.v rvn Lentz. deserves special
tnr its tvrformance. This is
a newly organized group which
has been practicing together only
Tt will specialize in
playing the lighter type of music,

for the program.
UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Earthquake arouses fears
of native Chilean, Dr. Vargas
Last minute broadcasts
incite desire to leave
Dr. Tegualda Ponce Vargas
sleeps little those nights. The
havoc wrought by the earthquake
in Chile has left her dumfounded
and worried. As last minute
broadcasts come in, this Chilean
wnman uni-ppon wishes to leave
her advanced social work at Ne
braska to aid her country. Alter
her M. D. decree from
the University of Chile at San
tiago, Dr. Vargas accepted an in
ternational fellowship to this uni-
During first broadcasts of the
disaster over short wave irom
Valnaraiso. she heard the mayor
describing in Spanish the carnage
and heard his appeals for food,
irhiniT and relief. At Dr. Var
gas' home in Valparaiso the peo
ple live in dread or earmquaKos.,
but are now experiencing one
which has surpassed the destruc
tion of 1932.
"I just can't understand it, she
she says. "To think of all those
modern, beautiful buildings de
stroyed, and the thousands of peo
ple killed it's almost unbeliev
able. I worry so because I can t
bo there to help my country. They
need me now."
With the catastrophe occurring
at the present time, Dr. Vargas
feels an unprecedented problem
will be thrown into the lap of the
new Chilean government which
took office Dec. 25. Hopes were
high, she said, that this new gov
ernment would be able to make
even greater progress in giving
Chile more significant public and
social improvements. Now such
undertakings will by necessity
have to be postponed indefinitely.
For one thing she is thankful
the United States is rushing aid to
uui. mrnniii As she pointed out,
a few American dollars go a long
way in Chile.
