Eugene Conley
Student E ntertainment Show
Once upon a time, musicians
were regarded as light-weight
gentry who would faint at a
"boo". But music is such big bus
iness today, those in the business
have to be made of stern stuff to
be -able to stand up under the
grind which includes not only, re
hearsals, but appearances in'con
cert,: opera, radio, television and
the movies, with constant travel
ing a part of the routine.
Eugene Conley, tenor, who will
appear here Thursday night at 8
o'clock for the first Student En
tertainment Committee Program
is a fine example of a young
American singer who keep s in
training for his job. Back home
in Lynn, Mass, he had a normal
American boyhood. He was a Boy
ScoUt, he excelled in athletics, es
pecially in sprinting, the broad
i i it . ' .i ,i i ii n
jump, Daseoan ana DasKeioan,
and was very mechanically in
clined. Like most American kids,
he had a "green thumb" with
machinery and even the most
balky mechanism would run after
he worked on it.
In addition to his vocal exercis
es, Gene Conley has. made physi
cal exercises a part of his daily
.program. When at home in New
York, he attends gym regularly.
He makes a specialty of 'exercises
weight-lifting, chinning, a n d
tossing a medicine ball around
which will give him chest devel
opment. The ability of an artist to hold
a long note or sing a long, com
plicated phrase is dependent upon
his breath control which, in turn,
depends upon his chest expan

Class Plans
Senior Class organizational
plans started off this week with
a bang, according to Archie Myatt,
president.
"We-have, some novel ideas as
well as constructive ones in mind,,
and this year should, be a high
ly successful one for the Senior
Class," he said. i '
The class officers . have been
meeting since the f irstof the year,
he continued, to make organiza
tional plans.
The specific committees have
been decided -upon, but appoint
ments have not been fully made.
The central committee will be the
planning boarU and will be com
posed of approximately 25 boys
and girls.
The other committees, he said,
will be the Senior Complaint
Boar d. the Alumni Committee, the
Social Committee, , the Finance
Committee, and the - Publicity
Committee. , ; V ' .
Myatt put out the call to all
seniors who are interested in serv
ing on any of these committees."

expansion of 38 inches which goes
to 42 inches when he takes a deep
breath before giving out with an
aria. -
Conley, who has sung in the
leading opera houses in the Unit
ed s States and in . Europe he
made his debut at the Metropoli
tan t Opera in January of 1950 -feels
that opera requires not only
vocal but acting ability as well,
and the agility he has acquired
through exercising and having a
well-disciplined body, has helped f
him in taking stage directions for
his movements onstage.

Claiming that open trials would
lead to -more responsible student
judicial action and provide an ad
ditional curb to potential violators,-
a bill asking that the student
courts of . the University be open
ed for public attendance will be
discussed by the Dialectic Senate
tonight at 8 o'clock on the third
floor of New West Building.
The bill, to be introduced by
Toby Selby, charges that closed
trials lead to distrust and disre
spect for the . student courts and
can lead to irresponsibility on the
part of the court. ,
Open trials, according .to the
billj would increase responsibili , :
ty, trust and respect on the part
of the court and the students.
It is further stated that the
prevention of Honor - and Cam
pus Code offenses is the funda-
mental objective of the Universi
ty court system and the . present
closed court system is not effc-
tive as a preventive court Vhus .

Various members of the honor .
councils have been invited to

controversial bill. '
The bill is expected to be hotly
debated and attract much interest
on the campus by virtue of the
investigation of the campus';
courts now being conducted by a
committee appointed by Presi- -dent
Henry Bowers.
The various student courts here
have been the object of inei?-s-ing
criticism in the past f ew yearsr
due to the practice of trying Q
fenders in -closed session and re
fusing to release the names of the
persons tried. '
The campus judiciary system
includes the Student Council,
