The move was made to cut mem bership down to a size that would make the council more functional. Current membership is set up on the basis of three members from each club—the president and a jun ior and senior representative. The new membership setup will include only a senior and junior representative from each organiza tion, plus the editor of the Battal ion and the Commentator. On this basis the club will have 40 mem bers. The council also resolved to en force attendance requirements more rigidly in the future. According to attendance rules, two unexcused ab sences from council meetings means automatic expulsion from the body. Don Cloud read a list of questions pertaining to campus traffic and parking problems which will be submitted to Campus Security Chief Fred Hickman and W. H. Badgett, physical plants manager. The arts and sciences gi-oup is seek ing ways to improve campus park ing facilities and help ease the traffic problems on the campus at crucial times of the day and during special events such as football games. Asphalt Paving New Short Course “Bituminous Materials” and “Special Problems in Design of Highway and Airport Pavements” will be the main coui’ses of a six- week summer graduate program in asphalt paving technology, June 2 lo July 11. The course is being offered by the Civil Engineering Department for college engineering instructors interested in asphalt technology and construction. It will consist of six units of graduate courses which may be taken for graduate credit, together with a series of seminars on a variety of subjects pertinent to the field of emphasis. Borne special subjects to be cov ered in seminars and by guest lec turers wall incdude topics such as “History, Chemistry and Rheology of Asphalt,” “Design of Plant Mix Pavements,” “Soil Asphalt Stabili- fcation,” and “Practical Aspects of the Design of Flexible Pavements.” Instructors for the program will include members of the School of 'Engineering and of the CE depart ment and guest lecturers who are specialists in pavement design and airport engineering.

Wainerdi of the Texas Engineering Station, coordi nator of the meeting. . . r — aymphoiiy , (Continued from page 1) and ; therefore it was .with more than His usual pessimism that he began the Fifth. But performances of the com pleted Fifth, which many consider his best work in the symphonic medium, encouraged him to con tinue the work that was to pro duce, among others, a sixth sym phony and "he “Nutcracker Suite"’. The second movement of the Fifth should be familiar to any one who has ever stumbled across the old concert series on radio called “The Voice of Firestone,” for the main theme in the second movement has been used by that program as a theme song for years. Little can be said about the “Carmen” Suite, which is, in real ity. part of the composer’s “Suites 1 and 2", except that is was cho sen, seemingly, with the very ad mirable idea in mind of exploiting some of the lesser-known themes in this old chestnut. Thus we have the “Intermezzo” from the second suite instead of the famous “Habanera” and the “March of the Toreadors” instead of the “Toreador Song”. Debussy, perhaps more than any other composer, has suffered the | label of “sissy” composer. ms, ■“Afternoon of a Fairfr, fyith its* delicate shadings and subtle nu ances certainly doesn’t inspire the fire and eloquence of a Wagner, but, often leaves a more lasting effect.
