The throat trouble almost
amounted to laryngitis, Miss
Stonecypher stated, but she de
cided to try out anyway. It was
without much hope of winning
that she auditioned, and the re

surprise, she said.
"Singing with the Lincoln Sym

looked forward to since I was a
little, starry-eyed, freshman in
high school," she added.

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

Qualitative
Self Defined
For Students
Dr. T. Z. 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.

2. When the Christian thinks of
the material side, he must remem
ber that all physical things fol

Koo illustrated through the life
cycle of a plant. The spiritual,
on the contrary, he said, has no
reverse action but continues to as

Koa declared that a living spirit
cannot follow a dead code.
"Who can be inspired by a set
of college rules?" he asKea.
