It is an old Spanish dance that was orig inally accompanied by castanets. It is a simple tune with consitantly var ied orchestrial coloring.

As an acknowledgement for roars of applause, there were four delight ful encores.

DEANVARDELLLEQURES ON SYMPHONY MUSIC Talk Excellent Background For Appreciation of Concert All of us who were lucky enough to hear Dean Vardell’s talk Thurs day afternoon felt that we were able to listen much more intelligently to the MinneajKjlis Symphony Concert Monday night. A special invitation was issued to members of the Civic Music Ajssociation to attend the lec ture, aiid\ many town p‘ople were present. Dean Vardell explained the com position of a fugue and how anoth er instrument takes up the tune as its development is completed by one. The Bach fugue played by the Sym phony was originally written for organ, and has since been arranged for orchestra. The ground theme, slow and solemn, is repeated with interesting variations twenty times during the composition. He discussed in detail Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, considering the outstanding portions of each move ment, the magnificient introduction, and the brilliant and almost bacch- aualion conclusion. In the Queen Gab scene of “Ro meo and Juliet” by Beliose, one hears the whirling, mad, accents of the dance. The force of the next number, Debussy’s “Afternoon of a Faun” has become even greater due to its dance interpretation by Nijinsky. In this composition all the sounds of nature heard in the woods are clearly discernable. For their modern selection, the orchestra played the stirring and dramatic “Bolero” by Ravel. ART DEPARTMENT TO SPONSOR EXHIBIT Antiquated “band-box” gym nasiums are to blame for the medi ocre brand of basketball played in New England, says A1 McOoy, coach of Northeastern University, Boston. Columbia’s class of 1935 is 75 i>er cent employed. Mrs. Meinung and Miss Davis Organizing Work To Be Displayed Tlio first Art Exhibit of the re cently organized Art Department of Salem College will be displayed Fri day and Saturday, February 7th and 8th, in the campus living room of -\lico Clewell Building.
