Newman Gives
Piano Recital
In Hill Hall
Dr. William S. Newman of the
Music Department will present
a lecture-recital consisting of
four piano sonatas on Thurs
day, at 8:30 p.m. in Hill Music
Hall. The program will be a repe
tition of the one he gave earlier
this month on a concert tour to
Cleveland, Chicago, and the Uni
versity of Illinois. Professor
Newman made his local debut
with his performance of the solo
piano part in Lambert's "The
Rio Grande", given by the sym
phony as a part of the Sesqui
centennial Celebration.
In addition to presenting the
sonatas, he will make brief com
ments on their historical and
musical significance. The first
two sonatas are by Carl Phillips
Emanuel and Johann Bach, the
two greatest sons of the immor
tal Johann Sabastian Bach. A
comparison of their remarkably
different styles will thus be af
forded. The third sonata is an
excellent but little known work
by Mendelssohn, and the fourth
is a strong contemporary French
work by Darius Milhaud, out
standing poiytonai composer
now on the faculty of Mills Col
lege in California.
Dr. Newman has made the
sonata his special field of study,
and his doctorate was awarded
for a thesis on "The Present
Trend of the Sonata Idea". He
is author of the forthcoming
book, "History of the Sonata
Idea", which is intended to fill
a serious gap in music literature.
Professor Newman owns the
largest private collection of sona
tas in existence.
Dr. Newman, Professor of
Piano, and his wife, Nancy
Brock, modern dancer, have one
son. Before coming to UNC, Dr.
Newman served with the Histori
cal Office of the Army Air Forces
for three an4 a half years.

ties Division lecture for the cur
rent term in Gerrard Hall at

Shakespeare Expert.
Dr. Taylor, who has been a

in the entire Renaissance period,
with special interest in the plays

NUMBER 61
I obtain value received for value
paid in student entertainment"
highlighted the meeting called
to adopt the work of the plat
form committee.
Clean Election Urged
Chuck Heath, chairman of the
SP, set the tone of the coming
campaign when he announced
that a decision had been reached
with Allan Pannill, chairman of
the UP, to play "clean politics"
and leave out the name calling.
The platform adopted featur
ed several "service" planks which
pledge the party to obtain more
fountain service on campus,
especially in the dormitory area,
improve dormitory telephone
service, investigate financial af
fairs of all student activities
using student lunds, improve
eating conditions and lower eat
ing costs.
Honor System Faced
Another campus condition re
ceiving the attention of the SP
in its platform is that of the lax
honor system. As a corrective
measure a plank was adopted
"to inaugurate an intensive
Freshman indoctrination pro
gram aimed at the improvement
of student government and the
honor system."
One plank proposes an "in
vestigation of prices and con
ditions at the Book Ex. and other
University controlled depart
ments affecting student welfare."
