Hall series presentation Monday
night in G. Rollie White Coliseum

was formed by pianist Johnny
Eaton and clarinetist Bill Smith in

Peter on the bass and Pierre Favre

WHY FORM one quartet to pre

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

DISCUSSIONS CONTINUE TONIGHT
RE Groups Show Varied Viewpoints
Viewpoints representing almost
all shades of the religious spec
trum will be offered tonight as
Religious Emphasis Week con
tinues.
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.
