V/E ARE THE LOSERS
Dorotliy Mayiior, a Negro so-
])raiio second only to Mai’ion Ander
son, presented a concert in Raleigh
Saturday night. Twenty girls from
Saint Mary’s attended. This was
considered one of the most remark
able concerts ever presented here,
and people of Raleigh have been
speaking of Miss Maynor’s voice,
since they heard her Saturday night,
as one of the most magnificent they
have ever heard.
The question we would like to ask
is why there were only twenty Saint
Mary’s girls present? It is granted
that the concert was on Saturday
night and that many of the girls
were away from school, but we be
lieve that there should have been a
larger percentage of those who were
left attending. There were notices
on the bulletin boards to remind us
that this was something we could
not afford to miss, but they seem on
the whole to have been overlooked.
We say that we would enjoy con
certs more if they were not required
and we could decide for ourselves
whether we wanted to attend. Sat
urday niglit was an excellent exam
ple of our decisions along that line.
There was also the question of
attending concerts with dates. Sure
ly this is a more constructive way to
spend an evening than the movies,
though concerts do last a little
longer. It seems that this sort of
entertainment should be encouraged
as much as possible.
We do not care to even think that
we, as college students, would let
p, ejudice blind us to talent and
greatness. Are we lacking in toler
ance or merely in appreciation of
good music?

Remarks: Ann has a way of get

as this one, she will make progress.

Miss Maynor has a magnificent
voice. Her softest tones could be
heard throughout the auditorium as
clearly as her most vibrant. Her
tonal color was extraordinarily com
mendable. Since her selections were

through her interpretation of them.
