RANGERETTES COMING FOR ITS . will open and close annual Talent Show in early March TWO FOR PRICE OF ONE Musical Group Combines 4 CooF Jazz, Serious Music The American Jazz Ensemble, a group that mixes “cool” jazz with rigorously difficult modernist works, will be featured in a Town Hall series presentation Monday night in G. Rollie White Coliseum at 8 p.m. • The quartet, which is currently on its first United States tour, was formed by pianist Johnny Eaton and clarinetist Bill Smith in the fall of 1960 at the American Academy in Rome. The other two members of the group are Erich Peter on the bass and Pierre Favre on drums. WHY FORM one quartet to pre sent both contemporary serious music and contemporary jazz?

Twenty-five girls were entered in the contest, and the finalists were chosen by the committee from pictures submitted by their escorts. The dance is to be formal, but Moon said either cocktail or long formal dresses may be worn by band members’ dates. played entirely by one jazz group could often be dull and repetitious. Eaton also felt that jazz de served a place in the concert hall. Therefore, he got together a group of musicians capable of perform ing both contemporary serious music and contemporary jazz. The idea remained dormant un til Eaton and Smith met in Rome and Smith approached Eaton with the idea of forming a jazz group purely for fun. Eaton hit Smith with the combination idea and Smith went for it. THE FORMAT of their program generally consists of roughly one- third contemporary music followed by two-thirds jazz. Eaton and Smith both studied composition with Roger Sessions. Eaton has recorded albums for Columbia Recoi-ds and toured the U. S. with flutist Herbie Mann and a. jazz combo.

Discussions continue tonight at the A&M Methodist Church, Church of Christ Bible Chair, Hillel Foundation, First Baptist Church of College Station, St. Mary’s Chapel and the Lutheran Student Center. THE GROUP meeting at the A&M Methodist Church includes Methodist, Episcopal, Presbyterian and Christian students. At last night’s meeting Lutheran students heard Dr. Samuel Golter- mann, president of Concordia Junior College at Austin, say that “in American twentieth century culture Christianity is little more than a set of philosophical and ethical principles.” HE SAID today Christians go to church and participate in re ligion merely as part of their general way of life. He lamented that there are no longer any “jagged edges,” or challenges, of our culture for Christianity to face. He said: “This is worse than if there was some resistance to religion.” Dr. Robert A. Hingson, speak ing at the Baptist gathering, used a film to illustrate the way mis sionaries around the world co operate to help fight disease and sickness. HINGSON, professor of anes thesia at the Western Reserve University School of Medicine and inventor of the jet injector, said church and medical workers alone cannot heal the sickness of the world. He asked for financial and spiritual aid from those at home. Said the doctor: “After seeing this film we can see how much we have to give in comparisbn to others.” Rabbi Louis Firestein, a reform Jew from Temple Beth Israel in Austin, urged the group at the Hillel Foundation to take stock of its faith. He said: “Most think that we know what Judaism is, but we should re count.” RABBI FIRESTEIN listed seven items as being essential, from his viewpoint, to the Jewish faith: 1. Belief in God 2. Belief in man 3. The world runs according to moral laws 4. Belief in brotherhood 5. Belief that man has free will 6. Belief in life after death 7. Belief in the “chosen people” concept He explained that the “chosen people” concept was not one of superiority, but rather one of re sponsibility and obedience to the teachings of God. Dr. Das Kelley Barnett, vicar of St. John’s Episcopal Church at Palacios and Christ Church at Matagorda, addressed the group at the A&M Methodist Church. He said that the first obligation of a Christian was to know what was going on in the woidd. He said that the value system for our society has been altered and the twentieth century has reached the end of the process whereby every culture has been submitted to these changes. ON EDUCATION, he said that we cannot afford to waste brains and that mediocracy in Texas’ public schools is too expensive. The Rev. Donald Starkey, assist ant pastor at St. Mary’s Church in Austin, talked to the Catholic group. He said that the world must leam how to love. He said that God is love and that we must learn to love from God. McCurrin Harwell, pastor of the Central Church of Christ in Temple, told his group that the only way to know who was right in the difference of opinion in re ligion was to go back and refer to the Bible. He said we must not try to change the Bible to what we already believe, rather we should change to agree with the Bible.
