This fellow Gurney with the broad shoulders and a voice to go with them ran into one fo his college classmates here on the campus in the person of J. J. Woolket, Professor of Modern Languages and director of WTAW until the early part of 1943. Wool ket, whose specialty is Spanish had not seen Gurney for about twenty years. Perhaps Gurney’s best received effort was his rendition of “Be gin the Beguine” while “Wagon Wheels” was a close second. The audience insisted on several en cores which Gurney gave with a flash of his smile and a shrug of his football-player-shoulders. A. & M. Alteration Shop North Gate — Next to A. & M.

Along the classical line there are nine complete operas with the libretto and scores to ac company them. The collection con tains five symphonies of Beetho ven, one of Shotakowich, one of the Finnish composer, Sibelius, and many others. For those who enjoy the semi-classical music, there are many selections by such modern composers as Victor Herbert, George Gershwin, and Cole Porter. Though both classical and semi- classical music is Available at the music room, the classical selections rank over the others in popularity. In 1940, twenty per cent of all the records checked out were of the music written by Tschaikowsky and Beethoven. Today, with a monthly circulation of around two thousand, these two composers still head the list of popular composers. In the old days, a different sys tem from the one used at present, was used in maintaining the music room. A room directly across from the music room was used to keep the records. They were placed on shelves and left to personal serv ice to secure your record. Now, to aid music lovers, a four-way card index is kept in the music room. The records are indexed by type, composer, title, and instrument ar rangement, such as quartets, trios, and others. Then a form is filled out and the records or sets of rec ords are checked out from a desk in the Browsing Room. It used to be that the music room could be reserved for certain hours, but the addition of servicemen on the cam pus necessitated that this idea be abandoned as the demand to use the music room became too great. Now the room may be used when ever one can and when the library is open. Men who stay on the cam pus over the week ends utilize the music room more than others. However, the demand to play rec ords during the week is so great, too, that there isn’t time for every one to hear his favorite music. Even though this great demand to play the records means wear and tear on them, the music room has lost very few records. The phono graph has often been broken or out of order, but the E.E. Depart ment has always been most consid erate in servicing it and maintain ing it in good working condition. The fact, too, that people who love music and enjoy the classics have taken good care of the records and phonograph, have added long to the service of the music set. For lonesome Aggies and Serv icemen on the campus and for those who like to hear the great compos ers and lighter melodies, the music room is fast becoming their center of entertainment. With the addi tion of more records promised in the near future, the music room collection will be swelled with more of the fine music of our late and contemporary composers. To you on the campus who like the finer arts, don’t fail to take advantage to file your request at the library for the type of records you would like to hear. And to you who haven’t visited the music room yet, do so and enjoy the music, possibly you will find that which you have been missing in the music of our great composers.
