As a singer, Miss Stonecypher has a profound respect for in strumental musicians, and a "rather contemptuous attitude" towards sineers who are not also good musicians. She be lieves that an instrumental background is necessary for good singers. With this in mind, she stated that her achievement on the oboe has meant more to her than any other single thing she has aone. Her ambition is simpiy statea "tn be an ooera and concert stage " However, she plans to .ntnhimp a career and marriage. Naegeli von Bergen, 19, is the winner of the instrumental sec tion.

Koo, addressing 175 students and faculty members Sunday in observance of Univer sal Day of Prayer for Students, called for Christian students to form society, not conform to so ciety. Representing modern society as basically materialistic, iv.uu stressed the need for the develop ment of "qualitative self" or "true maturity." He defined true ma turity as the realization that other individuals besides oneself exist. In reaching true maturity through Christ, Koo said, "we find two individuals God and our fellowman." After development of quali- tative self, the Christian must I remember two important rules, he said. 1. The Christian must not play buronly al pin vniy m.u m down the material side or me, to transcend the material. i 2. When the Christian thinks of the material side, he must remem ber that all physical things fol low the "law of reverse," which Koo illustrated through the life cycle of a plant. The spiritual, on the contrary, he said, has no reverse action but continues to as cend without limit, Koa declared that a living spirit cannot follow a dead code. "Who can be inspired by a set of college rules?" he asKea.

Koo, brought to the campus to participate in Universal Day of Prayer for Students, empha sized the importance of a "simi larity of understanding" to world peace. This similarity, he said, is extremely difficult be cause of the more apparent lack of "similarities of form."
