C., February 27, 1925 No. 13 VOCAL RECITAL GIVEN BY CAMERON M’LEAN SCOTTISH HAKITONJi MUCH Al’- P1AUJH5I) AT KECITAL TUESDAY XIGHT A crowded auditorium greeted Cam eron McLean, Scottish Baritone, who sang here Tuesday evening, February the seventeenth, Mr. McLean is a popular victor singer, and all who have heard his records were doubly eager to hear him in person. Mr. McLean’S' program was o£ a dis tinctly popular nature, and Included very little really classical music. The first number, an aria from "Simon Boccunegro,” by Verdi was the heaviest nuniuer on the program, and in it Mr. McLean’s voice showed to poor ad- advatttage. Ho was evidently much morti at ease when he began on the fa- miliw old tune “Would God I were Amoug the Roses," and from that time on ho held the undivided attention and interest o£ his audience. His llrst en core, “Lassie O’ Mine,” w'aa beautifully sung, iind then his rendering of it prob ably became more loved than ever by those who heard him sing. The third group was something ot a mixture, and the final number “Song of the Flea,” drew some good laughs from the audience. It was the fourth group in whicii Mr. McLean excelled. Composed as it was of popular Scotch songs-, the singer was perfectly at home, aiid the lyric alniin of his voice ciime out to best arivanlasi!. ‘•Hiimo," the first number was liauntlngly lovely, while “The Hundred Pipers'’ offered a distinct contrast la ita bri.sk iiinn;h ryth!i\. Mr. McLean sang all these songs with a fine reeling atut undersliinding, and it is safe to say that no other piirt of the program was more gonuiiioly oujoyed by the audience. The hist group was made up of modern English songs. “Nocturne,” Thy Ciminu, was beautiful in a quiet sort of w'ay. while "The Lono Dog." and “Slow Horses Slow,” were both unusually (iffective. Tiie progi'am eiuloii v/lth Olcy Speaks over popular setting of "The Road to Mandalay.” which Mr. McLean sung in a striving way. The final encore was “Annie I>aurio,” and then the concert ended. It can well be said that every one present enjoyed the evening to its full est exlEut, and fell greatly benefited by having iicard Mr. McLean's voice. Too much praise cannot be given Miss Mal)lo. wiio did some of the most porfect and sympathetic accompanying hoard here in a long w’hile. Mr. Mc Lean is certainly to be congratulated on having her.

PHILARETIANS DEBATE IMPORTANT QUESTION Ul^b’liCT OF WOMAN’S LM^LUIiJiCIi OX .MODllKX MOKALS T)EBATE1) At the regular meeting of the Phl- laretian Literary Society Saturday evening, a very eloquent and interest ing debate was held. The query was: Resolved that the emancipation of wo men is responsible for the state of modern morals. Those on the affirnm- tive were Carolyn Peacock and Winnie Rickett while Mary Allison and Ruth Towesdell upheld the negative. The judges were Odessa Arnette, Ruth Hearthcrly and Katie Dali. Neither side bellved that tlie slate of present day morals was any worse than, or as bad as that of any period of the past. All were inclined to agree with them, in spile of the great amount of fuss whicli is being made over flappers and cake-eaters. The aftirmative insisted that the women have a very decided eil'ect on the morals of any age, and that the in creasing strength of feminine charac- Un- is responsible for the fact that our moral standards are high and that American life in general is clean. The negative brouglit out the various movements of today and classed them ;ill, witii the emancipation ot' women, as results of a common cause. Tlie de cision was rendered in favor ot the :illirmalive, due to the subtle reason- fCDiitiiiUfd on Pari('- four) MUSICAL PROGRAM ENTERTATinS ASIROS .Ml'SH' (.'KOI 1* 4aVi;S CIIAKMIMJ I’HOUEtA^r IX ASTRO SOCIKTY SATruD.vv Mfnir ASTRO’S WILL PRESENT PEG O’ MY HEART AxX.NUAL I’LAY OF AS1U0 SOCIETY TO BE GIVEN IN' COT-LEOE AUDITOKIUM JfAKCH 7 ANNUAL GLEE CLUB CONCERT IN CHAPEL irEinnn'i'H (jlee club gives ANXUAI, (OX’EHT SATUItOAV MCHT At the ine!ling of the Astrolekton Lilorary Society last Saturday even ing. a moat interesting and entertain ing program was presented by the music group. A piano solo, "ScoLtish Poem,'' by McDowell, was pUiyed by Aiiniu Elkins, which showed good in- Cerprotation and leclinical ability as well. This was followed by a vocal ^oio. by .fanet Sykes. She sang “Star lOyes,” one of Oley Speak's newest and lovelie.st compositions, and her usual sympathetic and lovely voice showed •iL its 1)chI.

In announcing it in society Saturday night, the Astro president urged UK to come ourselves, and bring our friends and sweethearts. This last may be a trifle dangerous as Peg is well nigli irresistible and before she has been at her aunts home a month, three men—no less than three—pro posed to her, isn’t that a record? Who are the men'.' W'ell. come and see, but we might add that at least one of them Is one that even the most hard hearted man-hater might fall for and —Peg isn’t a man hator tho she docs prefer Michael to some of them—Mich ael isn’t a man. If .one love story doesn't satisfy the sentimental there’s still another to add to the spectator’s interest. And then there’s, let mo see, a ruined bank, a wealthy uncle's will, a thunder Hlu'm. and yes—a dog fight. l.)r.

The program rendered by the Mere* ditli College Glee Club on Saturday evening, February 21 was one of groat interest. The club showed that both hard work and good training had been combined in the preparation. The se lections on the program wore varied indeed, the lighter members mixed with the classical ones. Tho concert opened with two class ical numbers, a brilliant number and tlien a selection with a sentimental, pleading tone, "Love's Dream after the Ball,” by the entire club seemed to be especially enjoyed by the audience. In contrast to these classical numbers several light numbers wero rendered among these lighter selections, ‘'The Catechist,” was extremely appealing to the comical natui’e of the audience. Marguerite Blackstock’s solo, “The Market,” was of the lighter quality and indeed a feature of the program. The concert closed with a very inter esting, lilting number. “The Kerry Dance. Tlie applause after this call ed for an encore by the club. The annual concert ot tlie (liee Club is always enjoyed very muc)i and espe cially so liecause the hard worli of tlie Glee Club is understood and appreciated by all.
