BOB LOWRY
By AL G. STANLEY
"South America is a pretty big
territory, o-pecia'ly when you have to
hitchhike to get around," said Robert
E. Lowry, 22, of
Troy, (Jnio in an
interview here
yesterday. Bob, a
summer session
student here at
U.N.C., recently
returned to the
United States
after a nine month
jaunt through a large part of Central
and South America.
He originally intended to be gone
only two months, but due to interest
in threatened revolutions and boun
dary disputes, investigation of busi
ness opportunities, studies in a uni
versity, and a passionate desire to
see places not generally seen by tour
ists, he was willingly detained for a
much longer time.
Attended Cornell
Bob attended Cornell University in
Ithaca, N. Y. for two years, prior to
his trip. His younger brother, Ken,
is a regular student here and Bob
hopes to be admitted for the fall

Last Concert
Sunday Night
The Summer Session Chorus and
Orchestra at the University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill, will be pre
sented in the second concert of the
season in Hill Hall Sunday, August
22, at 8 p.m.
Admission is free and the public is
invited.
The chorus is composed of some 29
voices and 18 players will be in the
orchestra. Robert L. Weaver, Chapel
Hill, candidate for the Ph.D. in music,
is director.
The program will begin with a
Concerto for Strings by C.P.E. Bach,
son of the famous J. S. Bach, and
the major work, Palestrina's "Missa
B re vis" will follow with the use in
performance of a great variety of
instruments in keeping with Renais
sance concept.
"Usually the 'Missa Brevis' is per
formed a cappella throughout, chiefly
for the reason that only voice parts
are extant," Director "Weaver explain
ed, "however our performance will be
in keeping with the original practice.
"A brass quartet opposed by a
string group will at times double the
voices, and at other times, will play
the voice parts as instrumental solos,"
he said.
