—SYMPHONY—
(Continued froiL page 1)
“Clock Symphony”—so called be
cause the composer attempted to
reproduce the ticking of the clock
Big Ben, in the Tower of London.
Then the orchestra will present
two polkas; the “Perpetual Mo
tion’ polka by Strauss, so called
because it has no ending and may
be repeated as many times as de
sired, and the “Golden Age” polka,
by Shostakovitch, famed Russian
composer of the “Fifth Symphony”
that has received so much acclaim
in the past two years. The concert
will close with Enesco’s “Rouman
ian Rhapsody.”
The series of summer park con-

certs, in Houston, was inaugurat
ed as an experiment in the summer
of 1940. Seven concerts were pre
sented in Hermann Park that year.
In this, its fifth summer season,
the original series of seven con
certs has been expanded to 30 con
certs : 24 in Hermann Park and
twelve neighborhood parks of the
City, and six out-of-town.
Response to music under the
stars has been such that the city
of Houston appropritted $10,000
to-wards the expenses of the cur
rent summer concerts. Despite
war-time travel restrictions, atten
dance at the concerts has been
greater than had been anticipated.
Summer music has become a
feature of American civic activity.
Attendance at concerts, summer
operas, and like ventures, indicates
a growing interest in the better
grade of music.
Aside from the cultural value
of summer concerts, the series has
a practical side for the sponsors
of the Houston Symphony. With
the twelve-week summer season
added to the winter season of 26
weeks, Conductor Ernst Hoffmann
is in a position to offer competent
musicians a minimum of 38 to 40
weeks of regular employment; an
inducement for highly-trained mu
sicians to become members of the
Southwest’s oldest symphony or
chestra.
The summer Symphony conclud
ed one of its best tours during the
month of July. During four days,
the group appeared in San Marcos
for the Army Navigation School
and Teachers College, played two
concerts in one evening at the
beautiful new music hall of the
School of Fine Arts of the Uni
versity of Texas, played a concert
at Mcdoskey Hospital, in Temple,
and entertained more the 3500
members of the service personnel
of Waco Army Flying Field and
civilians of Waco.
The concert at A. and M. will be
the final out of town concert of the
summer season which will close in
Houston on August 29th.

Governor Calls For
Waste Paper Drive
In a proclamation issued Fri
day, Gov. Coke Stevenson called on
Texans to put forth their effort
to collect at least 20 pounds of
waste paper per capita during*
paper salvage month, August 20
to September 20, it was announced
at headquarters of the Texas
newspapers’ waste paper drive in
Fort Worth.
The governor specifically asked
the co-operation of the American
Legion, the Boy Scouts, salvage
committees and newspapers in all
communities, pointing out that
waste paper now is the No. 1 crit
ical war material. Many mills
which convert waste paper into war
products now are shut down or
operating on a part-time basis
because of the shortage of sup
plies.
On the campus the center point
for waste paper collections is in
the southwest corner of the Ani
mal Husbandry Pavilion. Aggies
who wish to participate in this
salvage of waste paper are urged
to take their collection to this
central point. Dr. Luther Jones,
chairman of the waste paper drive
in the college area, urged that, if
possible, the paper be tied in bun
dles. The building will be open daily
so that any who wish to make
contributions may have an op
portunity to do so at their con
venience.
It’s easy to waste time—
Listening to small talk.
Waiting for luck to break your
way.
Dreaming of chances that are
gone.
Looking for a pull.
Envying another’s success.
Complaining about hardships.
Hunting some way to save.
“Listen ”

“Listen - - - ”

Along with the e-

Who helpfully ends every sen
tence with “See?”
It may be too petty, too carp
ing of me,
But,
Listen,
It’s driving me nutty,
See?
