Chance Music Is Newest
Addition to TSC Campus
Jim Woodle began by playing
seven scales, then trill runs, and
free improvisions on the piano.
Thirty seconds after the piano be-
gan, this reporter entered bang-
ing loudly on the marimba (no
musical knowledge is required).
The noise was intensified by Mel
Cowan and.Adolph Labbe's trom-
bone and trumpet, accompanied by
occasional drum beats by Raymond
Lusk. All this was taken down 1^'

the wild combo then switched in-
strucents and recorded more "mu-
sic" over the first tape.
The occasion? Jim Woodle's
Wednesday night Collegium Mu-
sicum class. The result? Chance
Music.
Collegium Musicum literally
means musical associations con-
nected with a university, with per-
ference to old 01* little played
music. Here at Tarleton, however
this class is devoted to modern
music, its performance, conception
theory, literature, in addition'to
orchestration and Composition.
Although there' is an institute
in Cologne, Germany, dedicated to
chance music, Mr. Woodle believes
that Tarleton is the only college
in the United States experiment-
ing with it at this time. Chance
music was introduced into the
class as a conditioning for study
of contemporary compositions.
Mr. Woodle explained that ears
conditioned to Beethoven have
trouble enjoying the modern works
of Bartok and Stravinsky. Chance
music is so "way out" that "The
Firebird Suite" is more readily
understood.

Meal Times Are
Changed by Council
At its regular meeting last
Tuesday, the Foods Council de-
cided to change the times of two
meals at the Tarleton Dining Hall.

eliminated, since so few students
took advantage of it. The regular
breakfast has been extended tp i?
a.in. The late li|ncli on MWF, "\vllJ
end at 1 p.m. instead of Tr'fO p.m.
The Council also discussed the
purchase of new furniture for the
waiting area of the Dining Hall.
The new furniture will be couches
and chairs which will match the
colors in the present chairs in the
dining area.
Mrs. Cress asked the members
of the Council to remind other stu-
dents that shorts for boys and
shorts and long pants for girls
cannot be worn at Sunday night
supper.
Two members were introduced
to take the places of John Onstot

After Five
VOTE! VOTE!! VOTE!!! We
have two important elections to-
day, so don't forget to do your part
by casting- your votes,- (only one
in each election, of course). The
i?sue of whether we have a sum-
mer edition of the GRASSBURR
should be important to all stu-
dents, and the election of All-Tar-
leton Boy and Girl should also be
of interest. Besides all that', if you
do vote, you can still gripe about
how the elections come out (since
you probably will anyway). At
least if you vote, you will have had
something to say about what is
going 011 at Tarleton.

making suggestions (honestly,
they are suggestions, not orders),
Not only has the ROCT worked

work when it comes time; for deco-
rating the Dining Hall, which al" ;
ways looks like a - completely dif-|

THE DECORATIONS at the '
DST-Los Cobbs dance really .did ■
look sharp. The "bar" with all
the bottles on it (they were filled :
with water, of course), looked
pretty realistic and gave a few
peoplo rather a shock when they
first saw it. One person (whq ;
shall forever remain anonymous) I
walked into the gym, looked over |
to one side, and said, "A bar . . . ;
hmmmm . . . that's nice." Then ;
after taking about five steps, he <
did a fast double-take, and said, ;
"A BAR!!!"
JUST THINK, if the Texas'
Legislature approves the proposal
to make A&M a university, we'll
be a part of a University System,
instead of a College System.
That's really Important . , „ I
think.
Piccadilly Square Varies
Speakers and Programs
Piccadilly Square, a brain child
of Steve Love — director of the
Methodist Student Center, has pre-
sented a numbers of debate pro-
grams since January 30. The ob-
ject of these programs has been to
give the students and faculty an
opportunity to express their opin-
ions whether religious, cultural, or
social. - v, ..
Mr. Love decided to give these
meetings that title because pf the
fanous Piccadilly Square in Lon-
don where open debates are pro-,
;;ented to the public. Piccadilly
Square is a place where anyone
who wants to speakxcan bring his
own soup box and "cut loose".
So far the meetings have reach-
ed a number of interested students
and according to Love, have been
a success. Mi*. Love does hope that
more of the faculty members will
take an interest in the meetings.
He stresses that the meetings are
not just for Methodist students
and faculty, but for anyone who
is interested and wants to take
part in the debate. :
The first meeting presented Hil«:
mar Wagner, TSC band director,;
and Jim Harwell, Stephenville •
High School band director in a dis-
cussion of jazz; There was...then
debate between Bill Rutherford;'
and John Poole on the subject of-
"Does Good Act Purposefully ill;
History?". Last Wednesday Phil-',
lip Immroth spoke on the subject"]
'Tropic of Cancer",—Art or Porn-1:
ography?". .
On March 6, the Piccadilly":
Square will present Sam Cleve*
land, district attorney, and a, stu-
dent debating against Dr. Keigh- :
ton and a student on the issue' of;
capitol punishment. ,
Mr. Love has stated that Piccad-\
illy Square will continue as long.
as interest is shown in it, 'i"
