Duke Singers
In Musicale
Tonight At 8
Les Petites Musicales presents
a program of Christmas music
featuring the Duke University
Madrigal Singers tonight in Gra
ham Memorial's main lounge at 8.
Sponsored by the Duke Dept.
of Aesthetics, Art and Music, the
group is directed by Mrs. Eugenia
Saville, assistant 'professor in the
Music Dept.
The group consists of 21 under
graduate and graduate men and
women whose mutual interest is
in the study and performance of
unusual music '-for small vocal en
semble, such as madrigals, chan
sons, motets, and allied types from
the Renaissance to the present.
Members cooperate with the
director in research, program
planning, duplicating of music,
publicity and staging. Numerous
concerts are planned each year,
both on and off the Duke campus,
as well as radio and television
performances. ,
The madrigal, in which the
group specializes, is a song for
three or more parts and is par
ticularly suited for Christmas
music.
The Duke singers will include
on their program tonight: Christ
mas songs for three-part male
chorus; sixteenthcentury choruses
in French, German and Latin by
composers Guillaume Costeley,
Michael Praetorius, Giovanni Ma
ria Nanin; eighteenth-century har
monized tunes by American com
posers Supply Belcher and Will
iam Billings; Swedish and Span
ish carols; and modern English
ccmpositions by John Ireland and
Arthur Benjamin. Soloists Frances
Strickland, soprano, and Don
Webster, baritone, will be featur
ed in the works of the latter com
posers. An unusual get of' Christmas
pieces by Elizabethan composer
William Byrd is included in this
program, in which a section for
solo or duet accompanied by
stringed instruments is completed
by an a cappella choral refrain.
No admission Is charged for the
GMAB-sponsored program.
etitioners
suit.'
Phillips Russell, local newspap
erman, said he opposed the move
home, he said, would practically
be hemmed in by the fraternities.
"From what I hear and see, the
behavior of some fraternities
leaves much to be desired" Rus
sell said, citing the disturbance
between' fraternity men and the
police last spring as an example.
"I'd rather be without them,"
he added.
Russell also pointed out the res
idents should have been asked
what their feeling would be on
the matter. This should have been
done before plans went as far as
they have, he said.
Dr. John V. Allcott, professor of
art in the University, felt he
should find out more about the J
proposed plan before saying any
thing. He wants to know the
plans of the University and the
arrangements that have been
made. "We are concerned, just
as any family is, about who our
next door neighbors are," he
said.
Dr. Allcott said the proposed
fraternity court would be right
in the Chase Ave. residents' back
yard, but that rational, sober
judgement could be made only
after hearings with the Building
and Grounds Committee.
The committee last week grant
ed a hearing, to be held probably
around the first of the year, to
the residents fighting the move.

Supreme- Court

WASHINGTON (AP) The Su

requests that it reconsider its Nov.

requests at its opinion day ses

indication whether it would do
so when it meets again tomorrow
to hand down decisions and or

act tomorrow, the matter will be
deferred until after the .court re
turns on Jan. 14 from the Christmas-New

There was speculation prior to
