Military Band
To Perform
Jazz Concert
The Soldiers of Sound, a division of
the United States Army Field Band, will
perform a concert at 8 tonight, in the
Main Auditorium, Ron Bergan of the
music staff said.
The Soldiers of Sound, the Army’s of-
ficial touring jazz ensemble, will present
its new program entitled, “Jazz, A Great
American Heritage.” The concert is
sponsored by the NT lab bands.
With this new program, the 20-piece
group will illustrate jazz’s evolution and
its changing styles from big bands to
present-day jazz and jazz rock.
Since the band’s creation in 1968, it
has earned widespread acclaim with its
distinctive musical styling and has amas-
sed a long list of credits from music
critics.
In an effort to keep standards high,
band members are chosen through a
highly competitive audition system.
Members come from leading universities
and major recording centers, and many
members have performed with such
name band leaders as Stan Kenton, Bud-
dy Rich and Woody Herman.
Many of the Soldiers of Sound’s musi-
cians are composers and arrangers.
Their original compositions are included
in each program.
The band’s versatility enables it to
perform patriotic music, early era jazz,
big band jazz, today’s popular music
and modern jazz.
The band is directed by Chief Warrant
Officer Paul A. Chiaravalle. Sgt. I Class
Vernon D. Ryer will be the band's vocal
soloist. H also plays trumpet for the
group.
Free tickets for the Soldiers of Sound
performance can be obtained at the Lab
Band office, or at the Denton Record-
Chronicle.

until April 21. Also featured in the show are art works by

Daily Reporter
Self-portraits, a 12-year-old cat and
flea market finds are subjects used by
graduate students in the master of fine
art’s exhibit in the art department Gal-
lery this week.
Judy Humphries of Denton, Lou Ellis
of Denton and Yvonne Pace of Dallas
are exhibiting their art projects. Miss
Humphries titled her exhibit collection
“I "hing Leads 2 Another.”
“Even though I’m showing a variety
of pieces, there is a thread of similarity
running through the work," she said.
Three drawings use her white cat
Blanca, who was rescued as a kitten
from the Dallas Humane Society. Slides
of the cat were used as a model for the
colored pencil on paper drawings.
“I USE a paper with a heavy-tooth. It
grabs hold of the material being applied
to it. It is a soft paper and has more tex-
ture to it,” she said.
For the self-portrait drawings, Miss
Humphries put her camera on a tripod,
checked the image in a mirror and posed
like a mug shot.
"The photo and other objects were
Xeroxed on paper, then I drew on top,"
she explained.
Miss Humphries' works in the exhibi-
tion are not projects completed for her
second master’s degree.
“I went a different route. Instead of a
project for my thesis, I wrote a
philosophical thesis, ‘A Humorist’s
Outlook for the Contemporary Artist;
Making Art Anyone Can Relate To,’ ”
she said.
Miss Humphries has a bachelor of
arts from Texas A&l, a master’s degree
in English from North Texas and is now
getting the “terminal degree for studio
arts, the master of fine arts."
Miss Humphries teaches painting and

Re-elect
Ruth Ga$ton
for County Treasurer
I am Ruth Gaston, County Treasurer, and I am asking your support
for one more term of office and then I will be able to retire. As most of
you know I have raised 3 children alone since my husband's death
several years ago. I helped 2 of them through college, they worked and
I worked, the other one wasn’t interested in college. She lives here in
Denton and works at Weldons Saddle Shop.
I believe my experience is my qualification and I don't think a new
person can take care of this office alone. I have grown with the increase
and have been able to do all the work myself.
My children are all married now and it’s time for me to seek security
for my retirement. I will appreciate your vote so very much on May 6.
later style," Smialek said. Monteverdi is
known for his madrigal compositions
and for being one of the first important
composers of operas.
One of his compositions that the choir
will sing is "II Combattimento di
Tancredi e C lorinda.” “It is an impor-
tant work," Smialek said, "because of
instrumental and string techniques that
had never been used before.
The two instrumental compositions to
be performed are "Primo Ballo," by Al-
legri in 1618 and "Trio Sonata", com-
posed by Legrenzi in 1655.
The Collegium Musicum has five
singers, ranging from soprano to bass:
and eight instrumentalists, including
violin, lute, harpsicord and recorder
players.

tain View College in Dallas.
MISS ELLIS of Denton is exhibiting
ceramics and drawings of Conte pastels,
charcoal and pencil.
Many objects used in the framed
boxes of mixed media are ceramics, and
“found objects" of fabrics, lace and
baby shoes discovered in flea markets.
She previously has exhibited in a Pilot
Point show and prices her projects ac-
cording to her own criteria for a succes-
sful completion of the project.
"Things that are more successful get a
higher price. If they are not as succes-
sful. they have cheaper prices, especially
if they’re not my favorites. It depends on
how the design and everything works,"
she said.
Miss F.llis’ ideas come from her
thoughts. "If an idea doesn’t come
through in the drawing I’m not
satisfied,” she said.
Her 35 projects include cups on
pedestals with lace impressed into the
clay ceramics and then fired and gold
luster added before the third firing.
"I'm trying to find a teaching job on
the university level. There are more job
openings m other states then in Texas
for ceramics," she said.
Miss Humphries said, “North Texas
has a policy of not hiring NT art
graduates. This is to keep fresh ideas of
artists from other areas coming into the
department.”
MS. PAC E of Dallas uses heavy in-
dustrial paper, prepared with linseed oil
as a base for her paintings of acrylics, oil
or silver paints.
"I generally just start with a torn 1
shape and move it around on the wall
until I like it. My ideas come as I work, 1
don’t preconceive shape, it comes as I
work," she said.
Ms. Pace calls her works a “combin-
ing of multiple units in painting. I
play ofl opposites against each other. It
is a tension thing—smooth against
rough, color against color,” she said.
The 12 Pace projects include large
sheets of painted paper of different
colors and textures, aluminum , hd plex-
iglass laid on top of one another forming
different shapes.
Ms. Pace is uncommitted for the
future.
“I have applied for u teaching job, but
I do sell a lot of mv work to doctors for
offices, and I'm considering just doing
mv work this summer. I'm a teaching as-
sistant at North Texas now, and 1 have a
background of seven vears in advertising
for an art director in Dallas," she said.
