Informality waa the keynote of
Elsa, Maxwell’s lecture last night
in Stephen P. Austin High School
Auditorium in Bryan. Miss Max
well's lecture was the second per
formance in the Bryan Artist’s
Semi.'':'’ ; . , v
In addition to telling the behind-
the-scenes stories of soipe of the
* notables, she gave a short disen-
iation of what Europeans like to
sec in tourists. In short, they like
Americans or any tourists, to act
natural. The point • she stressed
was not to try speaking the lan
guage of the country^ too well.
In the same thought she told
the audience of her proficiency in
both French and Italian. ‘‘Of
course,” she said, “I don’t speak
my best—they don’t appreciate
it.” __
To carry out the atmosphere of
informality, she lectured sitting in
< a straight chair. She said she
did not enjoy people who lectured

Parrot Escapes
Iajs Angeles (A*)— While Mr. And
Mm. L. G. Johnson were visiting
Mexico, they bought a 2-year-old
parrot named Loreto.
They discovered yesterday that
the bird doesn’t understand Eng
lish.
Ticket buyers at Union Station
became bewildered when they heard
a plaintive Spanish voice coming
from a 60-foot high chandelier.
“Bien, Loreto . . bien, Loreto,”
the voice croaked.
Loreto had chewed through his
wicker cage while the Johnsons
were making reservations on the
noon train to their home at Sea-
view, Wash. Despite coaxing from
train agents, red caps and specta*
tors, the parrot refused to come
down.
In Spanish, “Bien” means good.
The Johnson’s have other ideas.
They finally gave up ^late last
night. Loreto didn’t, though.

Ag Council Talks
On Club Troubles
The Student Agricultural Coun
cil met last Wednesday night to
discuss various problems concern
ing students in the school of Ag
riculture.
The Council, composed of lead
ers of the several clubs in the
School of Agriculture, discussed
difficulties that have risen on seve
ral occasions since the last meeting.
The purpose of the Council, ac
cording to Ken Kunihero, secretary,
is to provide a liaison between the
Dean of Agriculture and students
in his school.
By means of the council, the Dean
is better able to understand the
student’s viewpoints and is aided
in formulating the policies of hit
school.

Winds Not Only Cause
For Lost Hate
Wichita Falla, Tex., Nov. 11 UR—
You’d better hang on to your hat
around hare, and not because of
the wind.
’ L. B, Smith, city carponter, told
Sheriff Hammett Vance a man
grabbed his hat off hia head and
fled yesterday. Smith said the hat
had $45 in the flap.
O. H. Loftin of Electra reported
Monday that a grab-and-run thief
made off with his hat and $36 in
the band as he stood on* an Elec
tra street corner.
way, told of his entrance into
music, his work with Fred Waring,
his work with thal] amateur Col
legiate Chorale, and finally his
work with the present professional
chorale.
He stated that his Town Hall
program was “stiff’, which waa
true. But, he said, here was the
real music of the world; this
music took real “guts" to sing.
Whereas the Chorale was able to
work four hard hours on Bach
without growing tired of the com
position, the popular music grew
irritating in an hour of arduous
rehearsal.
As he spoke, Shaw’s nervous
ness coupled with enthusiasm for
his personal ideas and theories in
music, imparted a boyish aspect to
him that is noticiable to all. He
knows a great deal of music, yet he
is “just beginning in his musical
thinking.” The prospect of this
new world of music opening to him
adds greatly to his youthful appear
ance.
Shaw still has his collegiate touch
as evidenced by the ease in which
he talked the language of college
students. With his understanding
of the university age, plus his
advanced musical understanding;
Shaw was able to impart to the
Singing Cadets quite a profound
influence in his forty-five minute
talk. If • o ./
Shaw is after big things. He sum
med his ambitions in one sentence,
whereas,! “most people strive for
immortality after death, I’d like
to have my immortality while I'm
still living.”
Though this waft thtlr first func
tion of the year, the Singing Cft-
dets have been in rehearsal five
days a week since September 19. A
new repertoire, which is being pre
pared for this year's series of con
certs, will be presented for the
first time in concert on December
10 at Hoekttduy Junior College In
Dallas.
There are 86 members of the ca
dets and probably 66 will make the
trip. Future concerts are being
scheduled to send the Singing Am
bassadors over as much of the state
as possible.
This year's officers are Jerry
