BRING THE FAMILY, EATING OUT IS FUN. “QUALITY FIRST” KS Kent Ellis, Evangalist ‘THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN’ The writer of the book of Ecclesiastes calls himself “The Preacher.” It is a powerful sermon that he presents. He poses the fundamental question as to what it is good for a man to do with his life (2:3). And he deals with the possible answers to this question, answers which many men mistakenly accept. The Preacher tells of his search for happiness in wisdom and knowledge, but found this to be “a striving after wind” (1:17). He relates his effort to find fulfillment in pleasure and mirth, but “this also was vanity” (2:1). He details his quest for satis faction in possessions and accomplishments, but this course forced him to conclude that “all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun” (2:11). Neither philoso phy, hedonism, nor materialism bring the basic answers man needs for life, nor satisfaction for the soul. Sundry observations on life are made by the Preacher. Without God and doing the will of God man finds life monotonous, aimless, hopeless, meaningless, and futile. He has only un certainty about life and its most important considerations, and continuous dread of death. In the final chapter, the Preacher gives the solution to all these problems: serve God from youth to death. “This is the end of the matter: all hath been heard: Fear God, and keep his com mandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgement, with every hidden thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” (Eccl. 12:13, 14). The man who does this will find fulfillment in life, comfort in death, and blessed ness in eternity. The man who spends his life otherwise will finally be forced to acknowledge: “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher: vanity of vanities, all is vanity” (1:2). As another has said, the soul of man was made for God, and finds rest only in God.

It is generated by the Opera and Performing Arts Society, OPAS’ lineup of proven talent for its debut season and the opening of the glittering new theater com plex of A&M’s University Center this fall. The society, formed by people who want to see outstanding per formers and chaired by Walter H. Parsons Jr., has announced its 1973-74 program. Individuals backing OPAS through contributions and guaran tees agree the program is a credit to any major city of the world. The OPAS season and 2,500- seat University Center auditori um will open Dec. 5 with Violin ist Itzhak Perlman, “one of the commanding talents of our time ... a giant in the making.” America’s great artist Van Cli- burn will perform Jan. 17; the National Ballet of Washington, Jan. 31, and the Houston Sym phony directed by Lawrence Fos ter, April 25. OPAS’ first season will climax Feb. 27 with presentation of “The Marriage of Figaro.” The opera CS Swimmers Score Points At SA Meet Adriana Giarola was a double winner for the College Station Swim Club at the weekend Lone Star Invitational in San Antonio. She was first in the senior girls 100-meter backstroke and also headed the field in the 200-meter individual medley. Bob Leland placed second in the senior boys 100-meter backstroke and third in the 200 IM. Patty Shannon was third in the senior girls 100-meter breast. Ed Kahil was runner-up in the 13-14 boys 200 IM and third in the 100 freestyle. Over-all CSSC swimmers had 26 finishes of at least eighth place, cutoff point for tabulating individual records in the highly competitive AAU-sanctioned San Antonio meet. 7 Enroll In Repairs Course Seven students are enrolled in the Key Systems Installation and Repair School of the Electrical and Telephone Training Center at A&M’s Research Annex. The course is conducted by C. R. Guthrie, instructor of the school, and by personnel from the Engineering Extension Service, a division of TAMU. When installations are complete, trouble will be placed in the sys tem and students required to clear the problem. Grades will be based on practical and written work. The Texas Telephone Associa tion and the Texas Statewide Telephone Cooperative Associa tion sponsors the program. COLLEGE GIRL there is a Shop for you!

Marisa Galvany, a young so prano whose “Aida” in Mexico City last August was hailed a “veritable phenomenon,” will ap pear in concert April 9. OPAS special attractions will include “America’s first impor tant classical guitarist,” Christo pher Parkening on Nov. 5 and the Houston Lyric Art Quartet with Pianist Albert Hirsh, March 28. The Parkening concert may be in the Memorial Student Center Ballroom, depending on readiness of the main theater. OPAS’ debut season is describ ed in a brochure that should be come a collector’s item. Dr. Bar bara Coe, OPAS vice president for promotion and public relations, assembled the publication that contains performance and artist sketches, a description of the the ater complex and ticket informa tion. Artist photos and the theater setting appear alongside copies on historical works depicting ear ly performers, from the Coe’s col lection. Society officers and directors are listed, along with contributors and guarantors. Founded last fall through Texas A&M’s Town Hall Committee, OPAS is supported by the Arts Council of the Brazos Valley. The program was arranged through their support, to begin an era of cultural presentations and set the scene for TAMU’s cen tennial in 1975-76. More than 500 people in the eight-county area, including numerous Texas A&M students, helped finance the pro gram, with the goal of placing the performances within reach of all interested citizens. “The Marriage of Figaro” will be performed in cooperation with the San Antonio Symphony and Opera Society and the Corbett Foundation of Cincinnati. Treigle, in the major role, is one of the most celebrated sing ing-actors of the present day. He is the leading bass-baritone of the New York City Opera, has ap peared with every major U. S. opera company and in opera cap itals around the world. The blend of his exceptional voice and act ing ability has made Treigle wide ly sought by movie producers. The National Ballet of Wash ington performed the full-length “The Sleeping Beauty” in observ ance of the inaugural season of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Acclaimed by critics, it was called “a dancing gold mine” and ledi Clive Barnes of the New York Times to say, “The National Ballet is a national treasure.” Lawrence Foster’s brilliance, at 29 years of age, is attested by his being retained as chief guest condiuctor of the Royal Philhar monic of London while directing the Houston Symphony. Beetho ven’s Triple Concerto will high light the spring concert. Soloists appearing with the symphony are Ronald Patterson, violinist; Shir ley Trepel, cellist, and Albert Hirsh, pianist who will also per form with the Houston Lyric Art Quartet. Miss Galvany will open the New Orleans opera season this year in “La Guive” opposite Richard Tucker. Her performance in Mex ico last year left opera goers com paring her with thet great Maria Callas. “Aida” had to be stopped several minutes to allow an out burst of approval to subside. No less a master than Andres Segovia said Christopher Parken ing is “a great artist, one of the most brilliant guitarists in the world.” The OPAS executive committee consists of Parsons; 12 vice pres idents; treasurer Dr. Ted Coe; executive director Wayne Stark; assistant executive director for legal matters, Mrs. Johannes van Overbeek, and OPAS Guild presi dent, Mrs. Robert Wiatt. The Chnrch.Jor a Fuller Life..For You.. ■Ill How small a man seems — walking down a lonely road on a rainy day, with gaunt trees towering over him. How small man is, and how frail in body. The trees in the picture and even the chimneys on the old house will prob ably long outlive the man. Yet how big man is — in the things that are not of the body, but are of the mind and soul. God has not made man mammoth. But He has made him poten tially great — if he will but accept the blessings given him, and use the tools of Christian teachings. Man finds in the Church, the encour agement and the instruction to enable him to make from his God-given divine spark something great and enduring — and of benefit to all human-kind.
