Washington, D. C? The tur I
bulent Cuba refugee situation
could persuade Democrats not
to pick liiami Beach for their
19o4 national convention.
There is reason to believe, '
however, that Republicans may
have no such reluctance and that
they could even regard it as a
favorable psychological factor.
Both parties insist here that
no decision has been made for
or against the Florida city yet
and that It will be mid-June be
fore a site verdict is reached. I
A key Democratic National
Committee source has acknowl
edged, however, that a "deterio
ration" of the situation among
the Cuban exiles in south Flor
ida has come about subsequent
to the visit of the site selection \
committee to Miami Beach. I
On the other hand, Chairman
William Miller of the GOP Na
tional Committee, has said that
the refugee situation won't in
?ny way affect "objective con
sideration" of Miami Beach by
Republicans as a possible con
vention site for next year.
According to the Democratic
spokesman, San Francisco has
told the committee it wants to
revise its bid upward before a
final selection is made by that
party.
The West Coast originally had
offered $400,000 and said it
would try to raise another $150,
000 through private subscrip
tions.
Atlantic City has already of
fered $550,000 but Miami Beach
is still high from a money stand
point with a $600,000 bid to the
Democrats.
The same offer has been made
to Republican site selectors by
the Floridians.
It is generally thought the
final decision on the Democratic
side will rest very heavily with
President Kennedy. If he pre
fers Chicago, as some reports
say, the National Committee
professes to know nothing about
it and points up the fact that
the Windy City has yet made no
firm money offer.
Republicans are due to make
their final choice just prior to
a meeting of the National Com
mittee in late June.
They have received feelers
from Atlantic City, San Fran
cisco, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit,
and Philadelphia as well as from
Miami Beach and expect to nar
row that list down to two or
three possible locations later
this month.

. Long-Hair Music
Mrs. John Kirk, music librarian at ASTC,
supervises several students at the turn tables
in the Music Library. Students may use the
records in the mtuic library or check them

Music Library Popular At ASTC
By LARKY PENLEY
. The music library at ASTC
is becoming one of the most
popular spots on the college
campus (or the cultural deve
lopment of students.
This is not a place for stu
dents to congregate and listen
to current "pop tunes." It is a
vital part of the instructional
program of the college. For
many student* the music library
is a requirement.
In the tousle library an
found some of the well-known
composers such as Beethavea,
Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Cle
mente, Schubert and Pololsky
and many others. The library
has catalogued both the sheet
music and recordings of the
composers. This enables the
student to look at the sheet
music scores and listen to a?
ic at the same time.
Rows of turn tables are utili
zed in the music library and
each turn table is equipped
with an earphone. Each . turn
table can be equipped with a
listening bar that enables as
many as six students to hear the
same recording.
The music library, located In
the Fine Arts Building, is a
part of the regular college li
brary and is staffed by a full
time librarian and nine student
assistants. Mrs. John Kirk, li
brarian, said that the music li
brary maintains the same sche
dule as the college library and
is open approximately 80 hours
a week. It is open from 7:45 a.
m. until 10 p. m. Monday
through Friday.
This librar* was established
for music majors, primary edu
cation majors and students tak
ing music and art appreciation
coursea. In some of the music
courses the students are re
quired to listen to a certain
selection of recordings and be
able to identify the work and
the composer.
The library classifies the mus
ic as opera, sacred, vocal, in
strumental ensemble, key board
instruments, strings, wind and
percussion. Currently, the music
library has 2,000 catalogued re
cords and 1700 catalogued music
books and sheet music scores.
About 890 music books and 180
records are not catalogued.
Students may use the records
in the music library or check
them out for use in the dormi
tory. In addition to records and
sheet music the library has a
number of tape recorders, pro
jectors and record players that
Now, at you start a new phas* of
your fife, we are sure you will be sue*
cessful in the course you select to follow. ,
can be checked out by the stu
dents. This also includes metro
nomes and keys for musical in
struments that are kept locked.
Dr. William Spencer, head of
the A8TC music department,
said that one of the great ad
vantages to the music student
is the convenience of the music
library. Piano and organ stu
dents have access to sheet music
from the library rather than
having to purchase the mntic.
Another feature of the music
library is the large number of
books on artists, paintings and
composers. These are classified
according to periods and coun
tries. Some classes require the
student to be able to identify
the works of well-known artists.
Mrs. Kirk said that all cata
loguing for the music library
is done in the regular college
library.
"The services of the music
library may sooa expand to
serve the community as well aa
the college," Spencer said.
Approximately 281 students
use the music library every
week.
We know you will "dig in"
as you begin now to make
your place in the world. We
are sure this same ability has
brought you to this time
when you are honored at
Graduation.
With your graduation, you hay* completed ? rery
important phaae in building a full life. Tt art
certain your record of ability in die part irill extend
to the future making it ? life of fulfillment.
