AWARDS DINNER
Trio, Orchestra, and Quartets
Included in Chamber Music Series
The Raleigh Chamber Music
Guild will open its program for
the current season on Saturday,
November 3 with the Alden
Trio. In the Trio, with Thomas
Nichols at the piano for an ad
ditional composition, will ap
pear Dorothy Alden, violin; Ed
gar Alden, viola; and Ernst
Peschel, violoncello. Diverse
enough to interest every listen
er, their program is already in
the making.
Quartets
Included also in the Chamber
Music series are two very fa
mous quartets, the Quartette
Italiano and the Hungarian
Quartet which is pictured above.
The Quartette Italiano sche
duled to appear on Saturday,
December 8, is made up of four
young artists who interrupted
successful careers as soloists to
create this ensemble in 1945.
Hailed by critics as the most
important new musical orga
nization since the war, the
youthful quartet has appeared
numerous times in England,
France, Switzerland, Austria,
Germany, Czechslov&kia, Hol
land, Spain, Portugal, and Swe
den. They play entirely without
notes and have recorded for both
Decca and Telefunken.
The Hungarian Quartet, mak
ing its first appearance in Ra
leigh on Friday, February 8,
is ten years older than the Quar
tette Italiano. Organized in 1935
by four young Hungarian mu
sicians, this quartet then called
themselves “Nouveau Quatour

these opportunities, we will be
better qualified to take our
places in the world.
The North Carolina State Stu
dent Legislature will hold its
Fifteenth Annual Assembly in
Raleigh on November 29, 30, and
December 1. I sincerely hope
that many ofyo u will be able to

Dear Editor,
A lot of us take the English
courses as something we have
to do, and we do only what is
required of us in class. Really,
there is a lot more in that field.
We have a club, the Colton
English Club, that provides ex
cellent entertainment. This past
Thursday Miss Mayes of our fac
ulty read to us. Her program
was excellent. For those of you
who missed that, but look for
ward to others. I’ll let you in on
a secret. One month away, Dr.
Poteat will read us some of his
poetry. This ought to be excel
lent entertainment. And for
those of you who don’t know
where we meet—the browsing
room on second floor Jones is
our home. Please come!
Hongrois.” The four artists are
Messrs. Z. Szekely, A. Moskow-
sky, D. Koromzay, and V. Palo-
tai. Their rise to fame in Europe
has been phenomenal; there is
no part of the European con
tinent in which the highest cri
tical praise has not been lav
ished on them. The Hungarian
Quartet, first coming to this
country in 1949, had so great a
reception that it returned in
1949 for a forty-nine concert
series; and for the current seas
on is booked solidly from coast
to coast.
The final presentation in the
series will be on Saturday,
March 1, when the North Caro
lina Chamber Music Orchestra
will be heard. Although the
Chamber Music Orchestra was
one of the favorite programs of
many listeners several years ago,
it was abandoned because of the
cost involved in having such a
large group. The orchestra has
been refounded this year, espe
cially to play some of the
Brandenberg Concertos, and will
be especially appreciated by
those who have heard past per
formances of this group.
In spite of rising costs, mem
berships this year have not been
advanced in price, but, on the
contrary a greater effort than
ever before has been made to
bring to Raleigh a series which
will be the finest ever offered.
Student membership is $1.80,
faculty, $3.60, and patrons,
$10.00. These can be obtained at
the Music Store or from any
Sigma Alpha Iota member.
We also have book teas. Here
we get a chance to talk about the
books we have read and those
we would like to read. If you
haven’t read anything, don’t
hesitate to come, for one can
always benefit from listening.
And please don’t think that
you have to be an English major
or an upperclassman to come.
You don’t even need a special
invitation, because I’m inviting
you all now. Sincerely,
Pat Dula.

If you are planning to get
some new clothes in the near
future to fill the gaps you left in
your wardrobe for a Christmas
gift, or because of some immedi
ate need—here are some sug
gestions which a survey of
magazines and the nicer shops
has revealed.
Winter Coat
If you haven’t bought a win
ter coat yet, they range from
poodle cloth to bright red vel
veteen dusters. Oxford grey
flannel is the material for your
new suit, trimmed in velvet if
you like it dressy. And you can
wear brown with the grey suit
if you like—it’s quite the style.
I can think of no nicer Christ
mas gift than a cashmere sweat
er—you can get them in any
color of the rainbow, but nat
ural is probably still the favor
ite. If you don’t know just
what you want Santa to bring
you in the way of clothes, just
tell him “anything purple,”
and you will be safely in style
with whatever you get, wheth
er it be a cotton blouse with
corduroy collar and cuffs or a
skirt and sweater in dyed-to-
match wool.

member of their sorority but are
not very concerned about Becky
and Ad. Casey, the misfit in the
sorority, is not concerned about
what anybody does. Mother Ap
pie and Mrs. Bellows provide
the motherly atmosphere for the
play, while the rest of the girls
represent all types to be found
in any sorority.
Joe, the veteran, and Chad,
the fraternity man, provide the
love interest in the story. Liz
is forced to decide between these
two boys and to pick a sorority
at the same time.

French doors will be added to
the set used in last year’s pro

Evening Dress
If you need an evening dress
for the Germans next week
end or for the holiday parties at
home, do get a short one with a
strapless top and a wide bouf-
ant skirt. If you are tall or
don’t dance well in high heels,
you can get low-cut pumps
with medium-that-look-like high
heels in all colors. Informal par
ty dresses which have a bare
top and a little cover up jacket
are very versatile.
Just to satisfy the urge for
something new, I suggest one
of the little velvet coolie hats—
they’re darling. Or if you want
to buy just a little something
for yourself, get one of the big
coat-of-arms pins in gold or in
colors of red, cubite, and blue.

What is that force behind the
fact that I am now in college?
Is it an insatiate mental thirst
which lures me to this reservoir
of learning?
Is it the ambition of another
who, denied what is mine to
have, has stinted self that
through me those ambitions
might be realized?
WHAT BRINGS ME HERE?
Is it disguised desire for
earthly things which prompts
me now to fortify my mind with
knowledge that I might acquire
that which “moth and rust” cor
rupt?
Is it a secret lust for power
to control the actions of my fel-
lowmen that I might gain
through their subserviency?
WHAT BRINGS ME HERE?
Is there within my soul a
motive, pristine pure, which
draws me to these hallowed hall5
to learn more that I might serve
best?
Is it a sense of mission which
burns within and will not let
me be content with limitations
which are mine today?
Is it that Christ, my Saviour, is
also Lord of all I am and hope
to be, and he commands that I
expand my mind and soul that
I might enlarge my ministry
to humanity?
WHAT BRINGS ME HERE?
Oh, Christ, whatever forces
have converged to bring me to
this place, this now is my con
viction :
Thou hast a work for me to
do . . . and in the words of one of
old I cry for all the world to
hear,
“Here stand I” with God with
in to motivate my life—
GOD BROUGHT ME HERE!
