What Is REW?
Mozart's ‘Requiem*:
The Music and Mood
Ester Lee Chand
The Requiem Mass is a
solemn Mass sung annually
in Commemoration of the
Fa ithful Departed on All
Soul’s Day, and on such oth-
er occasions as maybe dict-
a ed by feeli ngs of public
resnect o^individual Dietv.
The Requiem, when set to
music, naturally arranges
itself in nin° r,T'inc.iDal sec-
1 ’’Has religion any proper place in academic life? Can
one be scholarly about religion? Can a scholarly person
be genuinely and sincerely religious? These are some
of the questions every scholar, every student, and, evert
religious person needs to face squarely and honestly."
This statement by George Hedley expresses some of the
questions embodied in the theme chosen for Lamar Tech's
1959 Religious Emphasis Week--"Religion and Higher
Education."
The advances of science into new sources of physical
power demand people of larger spiritual stature and in-
creased moral discipline. Such times require-a renewed
emphasis upon education, but an education with keener
insight into the total mental and spiritual needs of stu-
dents. Along with the cultured mind must go. the devoted
heart. If the longings of humanity are to have any real-
istic opportunity of fulfillment, we, in this generation,
must understand and draw upon the resources of moral
insight and motive power found in the religious faith.
Religious Emphasis Week is not a substitute for the total.
religious life of the campus. Nor should it be a religious
binge which is celebrated once a year onlv to be fore-ot-
tenthe rest of the time. R.E.W. is-a united attempt to poini
up what is being done all year .
Ideally, Religious Emphasis Week should stimulate the
existing religious life of the campus and the student re-
ligious organizations should support and give impetus to
R K w
If Religious Emphasis Week is just one fnore week set
aside for some purpose, its existence cannot be justified,
If R.E.W. can be a united program to point up the uni-
versal and consistant need of man for a reason for be-
ing, it can be the most significant event of the school
year
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

tions. The plain-song mel-
odies are adapted to the nine
divisions of the Mass. The
entire series of melodies is
of rare beauty and produces
a solemn effect when sung
in unison by a large body of
grave equal voices. Most of
the great polyphonic com-
posers have employed its
phra ses more freely than
usual in their Requiem Mas-
ses, but most of the exam-
ples we possess must be
classed among the mostper-
fectproductions of their re-:
spective authors.
Mozart’s "Requiem," that
work of pain which the com-
poser was not permitted to
finish, was carried on by
his wife. In her anxiety to
have the score completed
and thus to satisfy the per-
son who had ordered it, she
first applied to Eybler who
gave up the ordeal. Then
she went to S u s s m ay who
had the courage and the ab-
ility to imitate Mozart’s
biand. He copied what Mozart
had, filled in the gaps, and
added to it. It was then
handed to the Messenger,
who later proved to have
been Leutgeb, steward to,
Count Franz von Walsegg of
Ruppach. The count, who.
had lost has wife on Febrm
ary 14, 1791 and wished to
perform a requiem in her
memory, copied out the
scores inscribed it "Requiem
composto dal Conte Wal-
segg" and actually had it
performed as his own work
on December 14, 1793.
It is said that this com-
position of infinite science
and beauty, could’only have,
come from the hand of a
master. From the perform-
ers it received ample just-
ice, and the truth was re-
vealed.
During Religious Emphasis
Week on April 8, the Music
Denartment will Dresent
Mozart’s "Requiem in D
Minor.” The soloists will
include Mrs, Naaman Wood-
land, Miss Lynda Wain-
wright; Mr. Joseph Truncale
and Mr. George Parks. ’

HOW TO BE A
THUMPING BIG SUCCESS ON CAMPUS
While up in the attic last week hiding from the tax man, I came
across a letter, yellow with age, that dear old Dad had sent me
when I was a freshman. I reproduce it below in the hope that
it may light your way as it did mine.
“Dear Son, (Dad always called me Son. This was short for
Sonnenberg, which used to be my first name. I traded it last
year with a man named Max. He threw in two outfielders and
a left-handed pitcher ... But I digress.)
“Dear Son, (Dad wrote)
“I suppose you are finding college very big and bewildering,
and maybe a little frightening too. Well, it need not be that way
if you will follow a few simple rules.
“First of all, if you have any problems, take them to your
teachers. They want to help you. That’s what they are there for.
Perhaps they seem a little aloof, but that is only because they
are so busy. You will find your teachers warm as toast and
friendly as pups if you will call on them at an hour when they
are not overly busy. Four a.m., for instance.
“Second, learn to budget your time. What with classes, activi-
ties, studying, and social life all competing for your time, it is
easy to fall into sloppy habits. Set up a rigid schedule and stick
to it. Remember, there are only 24 hours a day. Three of these
hours must be spent in class. For every hour in class you must,
of course, spend two hours studying. So there go six more
hours. Then, as we all know, for every hour studying, you must
spend two hours sleeping. This accounts for twelve more hours.
Then there are meals—three hours each for breakfast and lunch,
four hours for dinner. Never forget, Sonnenberg, you must
chew each mouthful twelve hundred times. You show me a
backward student, and I’ll show you a man who bolts his food.
I erf mSm&k te..
“But college is more than just sleeping, eating, and studying.
There are also many interesting activities which you must not
miss. You’ll want to give at least three hours a day to the campus
newspaper, and, of course, another three hours each to the
dramatic and music clubs. And let’s say a total of eight hours
daily to the stamp club, the debating club, and the foreign
affairs club. Then, of course, nine or ten hours for fencing and
bird-walking, and another ten or twelve for ceramics and three-
card monte.
“Finally we come to the most important part of each day—
what I call ‘The Quiet Time.’ This is a period in which you
renew yourself—just relax and think great thoughts and smoke
Marlboro Cigarettes. Why Marlboro? Because they are the
natural complement to the active life. They have better ‘makin’s’;
the filter filters; the flavor is rich and mellow and a treat to the
tired, a boon to the spent, a safe harbor to the storm-tossed.
That’s why.
“Well, Sonnenberg, I guess that’s about all. Your kindly old
mother sends her love. She has just finished putting up rather
a large batch of pickles—in fact, 350,000 jars. I told her that
with you away at school, we would not need so many, but
kindly old Mother is such a creature of habit that, though I hit
her quite hard several times, I could not dissuade her.
Keep ’em flying,
Dad.”
