IflLENZ TO INCLUDE VARIETY OF WORKS IN fflLL CONCERT Music Professor To .Be Accompanied By Livingston William Klenz, instructor in the music department, will give a cello concert tonight at 8:30 in Hill Music halL Klenz came to the department last year after graduating from Cur tis institute. Observing his concert work both in Philadelphia and San Francisco, critics have proclaimed him a promising young virtuoso. He will be accompanied on the piano by Herbert Livingston, associate pro fessor of music, - who has appeared as a concert pianist in New York and also has played with peveral sym phony orchestras. The program will be: Sonata in A Minor, Vivaldi; Suite in G Major, Bach; a collection of dances, Alle mande, Courant, Sarabante, and Min uet One and Two, Gigue; Concerto in D, Lalo; Air, Hure; Minuet and En Bateau, Debussy and Polonaise de Concert, Popper. WIDE VARIATION In these numbers Klenz goes all the way from the spirited classicism of Vwaldi exemplified in the Sonata in A Minor to the powerful Spanish rhy thmn of Lalo's Concerto in D. Vivaldi is the Italian predecessor of Bach and all his intricate form and high demands on technical ability. "Bach's cello solo sonatas are known as the 'cellist's Bible,' " says Klenz, "and are the corner stone of our modern repertiore. "The cello has a much wider Tange than any of the other string instru ments," he says and will attempt to prove his statement with the Suite in G which makes great use of all the abilities of the cello. It is the eighteenth century predecessor of the modern sonata form. Minuet and En Bateau are from De bussy's Petite Suite, Commerce Fraternity Pledsres 14 Members At Meeting Thursday In pledging rites held Thursday night the Alpha Lambda chapter of the international commerce fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi pledged 14 com merce majors.

PHI FROSH WIN DEBATE WITH DI Assembly Men Favor Local ROTC Unit "If our country is plunged into war, it will need trained leaders, and Caro lina students should be those lead ers," said Louis Wells, last night rep resenting the affirmative and winning side of the Phi on the question, "Re solved: That an ROTC unit should be established on the University cam pus" at the annual Di-Phi freshman debate in the lounge of Graham Me morial. Wells pointed out that such a unit would stress neatness in dress. "Some of my honorable opponents might have had their shoes better polished if they had had military training. You can never tell," he said.

President Benny Hunter announced yesterday. The vote will be the first trial of the new secret ballot budget passing procedure laid down by the Student council recently. By the way of entertainment, class officers have secured Jimmy Farr and his orchestra, to "lighten the busi ness of budget-passing."

The new council ruling requires that each ballot be signed by the voter with a pledge that he is a member of the class. This provision was made to end the voting of other class members who have at times been included in the quorum count. EXPLANATION Hunter yesterday concluded his ex planation of the various items listed in the budget. "Fifty dollars has been appropriated for travel and observa tion. The present class executive com mittee feels that Senior week programs in past years have been mere thread bare repetitions of old stunts and games. Therefore, it has decided to set aside a fund, minute in compari son to the total amount of the budget ($5,900), which will enable fellow classmen to visit other colleges and uni versities to observe how students there celebrate their Senior week and to in corporate in our program any new ideas found to be suitable.

This organization, which will for mally open its laboratory building here November 29, is the first of its kind. In reviewing the aims and ob jectives, Coates explained the follow ing: "It is an effort to coordinate gov ernmental machinery in overlapping governmental units and eliminate use less friction and waste. This need grows out of the fact that in the last 150 years the people of North Caro lina have built on one land a pyra mid of overlapping governmental units federal, state, county, township, town, and special district. This means that a person committing a crime with in city limits may be subject to arrest by city police, county sheriff, state pa trol or federal agent; that he may be prosecuted by a city, county, state or federal judge; and sent to a city, coun ty, state or federal prison. For 150 years city, county, state and federal officials have been working on the same problems for the same people i overlapping and adjoining governmen tal units without coming together in the practice of coordinated effort.
