Scott, Piano-Humorist, To Play In Guion ‘Notable Books’ At Libraries The 1961 Notable Books List will be available at Cushing Me morial Library and its branches next week preparation for Nation al Library Week, Apr. 8-14, said Robert A. Houze, director of the A&M library system. The list is a selection of those books published in 1961 which con tribute significantly to literature and general knowledge. Both the list and National Li brary Week are designed to draw attention to the reading of good Civilians Urged To Attend Student Government Meeting O All civilian students interested in campus government and the furthering of civilian student body interests have been urged by Reed Armstrong, ‘62, to attend a meet ing of the Civilian Student Gov ernment Interest Committee Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Room 229 of the Chemistry Building. Purpose of the meeting is to encourage civilian students to file for student government positions and support the campaigns of ci- already in the vilian candidates running. 1 vc y, > ( . e Long-nmge objectives of the in terest committee ai’e stated as the recognition and representation of the civilian student body on the campus. The committee points out that civilian students comprise more than 50 per cent of the stu dent body but are underrepre sented in A&M student goveim- ment. books. Books on the list were selected by the Notable Books Council, Adult Services Division of the American Library Association. Thirty-eight libraries from all sections of the country assisted in compiling the list. Each year, the books listed win the majority of the national literary awards. “The books are exceptionally worthwhile by virture of their lit erary excellence, informational value and importance,” Houze said. This year, Cushing has all of the books except six. They are pres ently being ordered so that they may be on hand for next week's observance. Henry L. Scott, noted piano- humorist, brings his Broadway show, “Concerto For Fun,” to Guion Hall Monday and Tuesday beginning at 8 p.m. Scott, called by Life Magazine the “Will Rogers of the piano,” concludes this season’s scheduled Town Hall Series presentations with a one-man concert of music intermingled with his own brand of humor. Reserve seats are $3 and gen eral admission tickets are $2.50 Reared in Tivoli-on-Hudson, N.Y., Scott started playing the piano at the age of 4. He studied piano through high school and graduated from Syracuse Univer sity as a piano major. It was there that Scott got the idea of combining humor with concert piano. After attending the Mannes School of Music, N.Y., he spent eight years auditioning, doing or chestral work, trouping, teaching, studying and doing odd jobs in his efforts to develop concert hu mor. Since then Scott has spent the last 10 years traveling widely in the U.S. and Canada. He has ap peared twice in Carnegie and Town Hall. His symphony appearances include the Toronto and Rochester Symphonies, the Buffalo Philhar monic and the Cincinnati Orches tra. Scott has made films for Para mount and Warner Bros, and has recorded several albums. Scott writes all of his musical sketches and arranges most of the popular compositions played on his program. He is also a master of control ling his audiences; never tempera mental, Scott finds it hard to per form before movie or television cameras. He feels the eyes, ears and laughter are essential ele ments that mean his audiences are having a good time.

The east side of Fifth Avenue between 51st and 59th Streets in New York City is perhaps the girl watching center of the world. Other such locations are: Via Veneto in Rome, Champs Elysees in Paris, Oude Zyds Achterburgwal in Amsterdam and Sugarbush, Vermont (January through March). Experienced girl watchers recommend these places with utter confidence (just as experienced smokers recommend Pall Mall for complete smoking pleasure). Compare all three! Smoke "traveled” through fine tobacco tastes best. Pall Mali’s natural mildness is so good to your taste! So smooth, so satisfying, so downright smokcable! See the difference! With Pall Mall, you get that famous length of the finest tobaccos money can buy. Pall Mali’s famous length travels and gentles the smoke naturally ... over, under, around and through Pall Mall's fine, mellow tobaccos.
