JOB INTERVIEWS
Art for
Aggies’ Sake
BY WELTON JONES
Readers may find the contents of today’s column too
varied for their tastes, but after all, art itself can be defined
arbitrarily as “an attempt to create pleasing forms”. The
two subjects covered in this column are, each in its own
way, “pleasing forms”.
VARIETY—Television has been often likened to vaude
ville in its stressing of per
formers with specialized ta
lents. The' appearance of
Miss Dorothy Collins here
last night bears this out
again. After a well-coordi
nated prelude by the orchestra
engaged for the show, Shep
Fields, Miss Collins captivated the
audience. . . for about 45 minutes.
The nature of television brings
the short, “loaded” show into the
vogue, as there is a limited time
before the audience. Granted that
Miss Collins and her conductor
had but three hours rehearsal
with the Fields group, one still
can’t help but remember the his
toric show in London where Judy
Garland, coming out of retire
ment, sat on the edge of the
London Palladium stage and sang
songs as long hs the audience
stayed.
In reply to this column’s ques
tions Miss Collins said she would
definitely never appear on the
“Hit Parade” program again; that
she preferred a live audience to
a television camera, but would
rather live at home with her
family even more and that she
did have certain plans for a show
of her own.
Her next appearence on tele
vision will be as a guest on the
Perry Como Show, November 2.
SCULPTURE — Charles Um
laut - , University of Texas art in
structor whose works are current
ly on view in the Memorial Stu
dent Center, seems to be a man
who has not yet determined his
style.
The twelve pieces being display
ed range"'"from the hammered
metal “Head’ 5 *)!’ Saint” to a carv
ed wood, African-inspired “Mask”’
to a plaster “Classical Figure”, a
satire on Greek sculpture.
Barring VBurro”, a completely
unnecessary and offensive wood-
carving which reminds one of an
obese anteater and “Nativity”
which has technique but lacks
feeling, the show seems excellent.
Perhaps the outstanding pieces
are the aforementioned “Head of
Saint” and “Man Facing Etern
ity”. While looking at the quiet
dignity and powerful calmness
of these two works, one is reas
sured that man CAN face etern
ity.

Editor:

Apparently the subject of Rev’s
half-time behavior is to become
a perennial subject, much as the
annual Reg-non-reg fracas each
spring, etc. This is the third con
secutive year that the subject has
arisen, and I think that, far from
being “a charm,” it’s becoming a
bit ridiculous.
I have the utmost respect for
the feelings and prowess of the
mighty Aggie band, and I get a
bang out of listening to them
render the “Spirit” or the “Aggie
War Hymn”, but I must admit
that I got just as much of a bang
out of watching Rev’s perfor
mance the one and only time I’ve
been privileged -to waich it thus
far this year. I know I’ll be able
to see her Ndw Year’s Day, and
what’s more, I and other Aggies
up here expect to see her up to
her old cute tricks.
I cannot help but feel that the
choice of words reported on page
one of Oct. 18’s Batt reflects a
certain smallness. Mr. Libby,
whoever you are—you should be
proud to be in “competition” with
that animal. I have yet to see
Rev interfere in the slightest
with the band’s maneuvers, and
I’ve a feeling that the only inter
ference has been to certain in
dividuals’ pride.
