Critic Praises Recital of Five Music
Seniors Held Before Audience of 350
By Don Dorby.
Coupling technical ability with
expressive interpretation, five
senior soloists in the school of mu
sic last night presented a varied
recital before an audience of 350.
Given in the Union ballroom,
the program featured Louise Ide,
flutist; Marian Percy, pianist;
Nelda Michael, contralto; Vir
ginia McNeel, violinist; and John
Knorr, organist, all accompanied
by the university symphony or
chestra under the direction of
Emanuel Wishnow.
The whole program was good,
and as to individual performances
. ..Miss Ide in her playing of a
movement from Mozart's D Major
flute concerto seemed to be both
ered by stage fright. But Mozart
was still his joyful self in her ex
cellent rendition.
Marian Percy was perhaps the
most poised artist of the evening
as the sombre, powerful music of
the first movement of Grieg's A
Minor piano concerto rolled feel
ingly and faultlessly from her
fingers.
Everyone Felt It.
jDne would imagine that Miss
Michael's heart was actually at
some sweet voice because she, as
well as the. audience, was carried
away by "My Heart at Thy Sweet
Voice" from Saint-Sien's "Sam
son and Delilah."
Boellmann's "Fantasie Dia-
loguee," a most melodious piece
was played with calm serenity by
Jean Knorr at the organ. But her
calm serenity was occasionally
ruffled by some difficulty wilh her
footwork.
The orchestra, one institution
unon this campus which. I must
say, is not fully appreciated, played
very well. One observed, however,
that one or two of its members
found time to make some obser
vations other than those contained
in the notes before them.
Out of the 350 people who at
tended it, only half of them were
students, which is an interesting
commentary on the student em
phasis given to cultural aspects of

Students enlisting in the reserve
will not have to drop their ROTC
training, and may continue with
the advanced course in collabora
tion with the Air Force Enlisted
Reserve.
Students Get Deferment.
The purpose of the deferment
period is to enable qualified can
didates who desire to continue
their college studies to do so, if
the military situation permits. The
applicant who desires deferment
must be an undergraduate student
in good canding, and deferment
must not extend beyond eligible
age limit.
The number in the Air Force
Enlisted Reserve on a deferred
basis for the continuation of their
college education will at no time
exceed a grand total of 54,000.
The board was here previously
to explain the new reserve to the
students, and clear up any ques
tions concerning the reserve. A
convocation was held and applica
tions issued to all who desired en
trance into the reserve. Reason
for the two week interval was
to allow the applicants sufficient
time to procure the necessary
identification data.

ing of the group until next fall.
Queen of Queens Nominee
Number Five
The great day approaches and
in advance we have another life
history of the fifth candidate for
the N club Queen of Queens.
Lois Drake, Chi Omega beauty
queen candi

blue eyes, light
brown hair and
is noted for her
bee- yootiful
legs. Her fa
vorite color
matches her
eyes and makes
up the bigger
part of her
wardrobe along
with shades of

thumbs down
and gloves as just too much trou
ble,
Lois is a senior in commercial
arts and plans to teach after grad
uation. She also has slight lean
ings toward the nursing profession
which ought to be a break for the
army in these days. Despite her
popularity, especially with Phi
Delt prexy, Lyle King, Lois finds
time to maintain an 80 average
and consume approximately four
cokes a day.
Past social chairman at the Chi
O house, she likes nothing better
than giving out with a song at any
and all times. Other favorites of
hers include the great sport of
fishing as well as a quantity of
hard and fast swimming.
Lois spends most of her sum
mers traveling all over the coun
try, but so far has no plans for
the coming vacation. It is a cinch,
however, that she won't spend
much time writing letters despite
her numerous friends, for corre
sponding is one of her pet peeves.
Lois is a queen in any man's
language but only the N club boys
know who will be the honored one
Saturday night.
