Ronnie Bills to Sing
On White House Lawn
Ronnie Bills, sophomore social
science " major at Tarleton, will
sing with the - Breckeiuidge Boys
Choir when it appears in Washing-
ton, D. C. next month. The choir
was invited to appear with the
Boston Youth Symphony on a pro-
gram to bo held Tuesday after-
noon, April 17, on the White
House Lawn.
The invitation, came about as a
result of a tape-recorded audition
gent to Mrs. John Kennedy
through the White House Social
Secretary, Miss Letitia Baldridge.
The recording, made during the
Christmas holidays and immedi-
ately sent to Washington, quickly
brought a letter and phone call
from Miss Baldridge extending
the invitation.
The choir, directed by Mrs. Ben
J. Dean, Jr., sings principally re-
ligious music, but it is composed
<of boys of all religious faiths and
of all ages. It began its first sea-
son in the fall of 1952, and by 1953
it boasted over ninety voices. With
invitations to sing becoming more
and more frequent. Its many per-
formances include singing on over
a dozen television shows, at the
governor's inauguration in Austin,
and in concert with the Abilene
Symphony Orchestra.

Dr. Keighton Searches
For Interested Oboist
"I'm still looking for an oboist,"
Dr. Robert Keighton of the social
science department related last
week. "I have found some little
known yet very beautiful Loeillet
sonatas for piano and oboe, which
I am very anxious to get to work
on."
Dr. Keighton, an accomplished
pianst, said that he and his broth-
er, an oboist,".mir:a_cros8 the son-
atas during the Christmas holi-
days and found them to be enjoy-
able playing.
The selections are by J. B. Loeil-
let, a French chamber music com-
poser of the 19th century, and
include Sonata in G major, So-
nata in E minor, and Sonata in C
major. "1 always enpoy very much
playing music of this sort. In ad-
dition to helping me i concentrate
upon an element outside myself
(the oboe), they provide good
j'sight reading material, which is
important technique-wise."
"The composers and selections
of this period are often lost in fav-
or of more prominent composers,
yet they still provide a constant
challenge to the serious student
of music. They improve one's abil-
ity to keep time while providing

valuable ear training."
"The music of this period is very
particular about form, rhythm,
and direction. This, coupled with
the oboe, a very demanding in-
strument in itself, provides a
great challenge."
"I like chamber music because
I believe in sharing the fun. Like
basketball, one can play by him-
self, but when he plays with
others, the most enjoyment is at-
tained."
Dr. Keighton studied at the
Philadelphia Conservatory, and
has performed both in recitals at
the Conservatory and at social
gatherings.
"Now I am working on a sex'i-
ous variation by Mendleson. I find
that my main trouble is in me-
morization. It is something that
takes a considerable amount of
time. I find also that L like the
technique of the theme and varia-
tion; in fact, I have composed a
few myself."
"Mendleson's theme and varia-
tions -is completely in the key of
D minor, with a short variation to
D major. He gains variation by
changes in rhythm, change of
melody from hand to hand, and
adding or subtracting notes from
the theme." Dr. Keighton stated
that he has observed some thirty
methods of variation in the selec-
tion.
"If anyone is interested in hav-
ing some fun with the sonatas, I
do hope that they will contact me.
We both will find it very reward-
ing," Dr. Keighton said.

CAMPUS
QUESTIONS
The J-Tac is interested in stu-
dent criticism of its publications
because it is published by stu-
dents for the student body. There-
fore, the question for this week is
"What don't you like about the
J-Tac?"
WAYNE RAINES: "I think the
Campus Questions are ridiculous."
LACY BARRY: "The J-Tac is
a wonderful publication with won-
derful people, especially Judy
Iloliaday. Its politices are so in
favor of the "goat roper." Com-
pletely in favor of and devoted to
the furthering of TSC. I love the
J-Tac."
RHONDA BERTRAND: "Not
enough variety in the stories. • I
also thing that Tuesday morning-
is an awkward time to put out a
weekly newspaper. "Peanuts"
should be in it too, by all means!"
JAMES LATHAM: "Editorials
could be more restricted in their
slamming of individuals 'and org-
anizations. Also more space should
be devoted to student activities in
proportion to the very full sport's
page."
TONY COFFEY: "Get rid of
Gordon (the POO Hater) McCvtl-
lough."
KENNY HUNTER: "Over all I
guess it is pretty good. The sports
pages are good but improvement
could be made in other sections."
PHILLIP CLEVELAND: "Has
an especially good staff of report-
ers (not editors)."
The Court

. The Court Held: Judgment for
the bank: It is true that if the
bank had known of Glen's death, it
could. Tmt'havc "legally cashed his.-
check. A bank: is the agent of a
depositor of a checking account.
Death of the depositor normally
revokes the agency relationship,
and the bank must turn over _ the
entire deposit to the executor of
the estate of the deceased, if the
person to whom the check was
written had a valid claim, he could
then file his claim for the amount
of the check with the executor of
the estate, and he would eventual-
ly receive his share as a creditor
of the estate. Of course, if there
were not enough assests in the
estate to pay all the creditors in,
full, he would only receive part of
his claim.
However, when the bank does
not know of its depositor's death,
it may pay the amount of. the
check without liability to the de-
positor's estate.
Under the Uniform Commercial
Code, which is the law in a num-
ber of states, and was recently
adopted in Oregon, but not to go
into effect until September 1,
1963, for 10 days after his death
the bank may pay its depositor's
checks, even though it knows of
his death, "unless ordered to stop
payment by ft person claiming an
interest in the account," such as
the executor, a creditor or surviv-
ing relative.

As the weather warms up, the
students of Tarleton seem to slow
down. Studying has almost come
to a complete stand still unfor-
tunately. The Dean's team is still
open for new members.
Spring fever has hit pretty
hard, even if it is only February.
On the heels of this fever come
the new loves, and several new
couples can be seen around the
campus. I would print some of the
new couple's names, but as love
goes they might not still be to-
g-ether by the time the paper come
out,

Some of the T.S.C. students
don't seem to care for the work
of the TTS-TTP or the Purple

Everyone makes mistakes and
this incident is only another
example. A boy called the girls
dorm and asked to speak to Judy
Hector. The girl at the desk con-
nected him with Linda Spitizer
and when he asked her what she
was doing she said that she was
watching the two guppies and the
snail that her roommate had given
her for Valentine's Day. In a very
surprised manner, after hearing a
story that he knew nothing about
and probebly couldn't have eared
less, he said, "Well that's very
nice. Now may I speak to Judy
please?"

Speaking to guppies, several

lately, Gayle Tokmitt can tell you
of a very sad experience with
hers. It died. But no king could
have had a better funeral than
her guppie. A very touching cere-
mony was carried on by several of
the guppies old friends.
