By DORENE GEARING
Jerry Ann Vann, whose musical ex-
perience has ranged from the Six Flags
Campus Review to opera leads, will be
featured soloist tonight as the Summer
Concert Band closes ita season.
Miss Vann said, "The numbers I do
vary from the semi-popular 'I feel Pret-
ty' to an operatic aria from 'Madam
Butterfly.' "
The program begins at 8:15 p.m. in
the Music Recital Hall. Admisaion is
free and the concert is open to the public.
The pieces Miss Vann will sing were
chosen to show off her voice in her last
performance here In September she
will go to Northeast Louisiana State
Teachers College to teach voice and con-
duct opera workshops. She will join the
Shreveport Repertory Company in Jan-
uary to sing the role of Gilda in "Rigo-
letto."
"I USED TO BE a majorette and
twirler," Miss Vann said, "but 1 never
thought I'd be singing with a band. It
will lie different from performing with
an orchestra there won't be any vio-
lins."
Miss Vann will do numbers from
"Madam Butterfly,'* West Side Story"
and "Naughty Marietta." The band will
play "America the Beat;vifu!" by Sam-
uel Ward, "American legion March" by
Charles Parker, "Trilogy for Band," by
Clifton Williams, "Youth Triumphant
Overture" by Henry Had ley, "Overture
for Band" by Joshua Missal, "Toccata"
by Girolamo Frescobaldi and "Fandago"
by Frank Perksin.
Maurice McAdow, the band director,
said, "Although this semester's band is
smaller than last semester's, it has been
coming along very well. In this laat
week the band has begun to really work
things out,"'
McAdow explained that it is normal
for the last summer semester band to
have fewer people. Many of ita member*,
are band directors who have to run clin-
ics or get their own bands ready for
marching season in August and can't
attend the second summer semester here.
Nevertheless, he indicated that the
quality of the band isn't impaired by
lack of sine

Wheeler Moderates
Convention Session
Jack Wheeler, director of housing, mod
erated a session of the recent national
convention of the Association of College
and University Housing Officials.
The convention was at Purdue Univer
sity, Lafayette, Ind.
Wheeler said he was pleased "to be
chosen as a moderator, since it was the
first year I attended."
The session was "Building Programs
Prospectus for Success." It dealt with
the improvements in building plans and
developments.
No Skim-Over Version
Vrincess' Is Light, Airy
"Someday my prince will find
me .. .
/'hut's what everyone tells me.
#f I can't help hut wonder when
My someday will come."
This is the sad lament of the princess
while waiting for her prince.
Even though the plot of "The Sleeping
Princess" is familiar, the words and
music are distinctly original and de-
signed for light and airy entertainment.
The adaptation of "The Sleeping
Princess" is not a skimmed-over ver-
sion of the famous sleeping beauty of
folklore.
It is a result of long hours of work
and planning by graduate students Dor-
thy Faust, a speech major, and Larry
MeDaniel, a music major.
WITH THE ADDRI) Ingredient of a
sub-plot a one sided love affair be-
tween s cook and butler and the addi-
tion of eight original songs, ranging
from light comedy to love songs, the
play takes on an added dimension.
It is enjoyable entertainment for chil-
dren and aduits alike.
The director and composer work as a
close team.
'When we begin to write a play,"
Miss Faust said, "we sit down and talk
about it, then enlarge on the story.
"We may «ay a song needs to go about
here; so Larry will sit down and write
the music and words for one.
"THE MUSIC Is absolutely necessary
to the plot and development of the play."
The songs are evenly dispersed among
the characters. The titles are "The Kitch-
en Fugue," "The Bachelor Song," "The
Food Sung," "Our Hearts Are Very
Full," "Row," "The Spitting Song," "A
Nutty Clown Am I," "I'm Searching"
and "Good Thing*.'
"The music is actually enchanting,"
said Dr. Stanley K. Hamilton, producer
of the play,
"It could almost be called a musical
comedy. All of the songs are very good
melodies," he said, "and done in a very
scholarly approach.''
"THE SLEEPING PRINCESS has all
the elements of good entertainment. The
parents of children should enjoy it also,
it has the same attraction as a good
Walt Disney picture."
The three-act play lasts a little over
46 minutes. It is the second production
of the season by the Summer Theater.
Miss Faust Bnd MeDaniel intend to
record the performance of the play in
an effort to get the script and music
published.
Church groups and youth organiza-
tions throughout Denton have been in-
vited to attend the production, which
will be Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 20-
21.
The play will be presented at 8 p m
the first day and at 2:30 n m the second
day in the Business Administration Lec-
ture Hall - -ROY HAMRIC
and Summer Orchestra will also wind
up its season. The concert will lie at
H:16 p.m. Tuesday in the Music Recital
Hall.
Pieces to be performed include the
•'Missa Brevia" by Brian Kelly, "Sonata
in F'' by Toscano, "Concert Grosse in G
Minor" by Vivaldi and "Instrumental
Miniatures" by Stravinsky. The featured
work of the program will be "Blind
With Rainbows," a cantata by Dr. Wil-
liam P. Latham of the muaic faculty.
"Blind with Rainbows," according to
Iowa poet James Hearst, who prepared
the text, ia ". . . the story of the crea
tive spirit of man; the cantata tries to
show man's long, hard struggle to ex-
press himself creatively, and to find
form and meaning in his existence."
Dr Latham said, "1 am pleased at the
opportunity of having the music groups
at North Texas present the cantata
Everyone connected with the program
has been very helpful. I expect a high
level of performance."
Orchestra Gets Ready
The Summer Chorus and Orchestra will end the summer season with the
cantata "Blind With Rainbows" by Dr. William P. Latham. The concert will
be at 8:15 p ,m. Tuesday in the Music Recital Hall.
Starts in Fall
NT Clubs To Assist
In City Cleanup Drive
By ED SPENCER
Many N'TSU organizations will be call
ed upon this fall to help in Denton's City
Cleanup Plan, headed by Dr. J Harold
Farmer, director of the Union Building.
Dr Farmer was appointed co-chair-
man of the Mayor's Beautification Com-
mittee in the spring. He set up the first
plan whereby separate weeks were de-
voted to cleaning separate sections of
the city.
Now a second plan is in the making,
as is a long-range plan. Dr Farmer said
the committee has been holding off late
ly "because of the urban renewal plans
and the problems involved in that, but
now we are re-activating the committees

for the beautification of the airport,
drive-in eating places, filling stations,
motels, parks and the like." This plan is
to b« completed before the start of
school next fall
"ALTHOUGH MUCH PROGRESS has
lieen made, we still have a lot of work
to do," he said
He said churches will lie involved in
the plan, in addition to work on all public
property NTSL and TWU students and
faculty will be in on the work, although
there will be no special cleanup work on
campus.
"As an outgrowth of the plan," Dr.
Farmer stated, "city crews are busy
cleaning up drainage ditches and blind
spots of weeds and trees around corners
and narrow bridges."
In November the Woman's Garden
Council will have a flower show and it
is hoped that people who attend will
contribute at least $1. From that, he
said, "we will have some money to lie
used for certificates of recognition to
places that make the most progress" in
cleaning up.
THE ONLY MONEY spent thus far
has been by individuals in projects such
as taking pictures of alleys, drainage
ditches and blind spots on comers liefore
and after a cleanup campaign.
Many NTSU clubs will be asked to
participate this fall. Dr. Farmer said,
"There are plans where organizations
will be invitad to participate, and we will
have planning days for this."
He said that on the long range plan,
the committee is working with the city
hi the ordinance to rid the city of aban-
don;?'. cars on public streets. Dr. Farmer
expressed hope that work like this "will
be the foundation for committee action
that will continue from here on out."
The long-range plan will be broken into
individual drives such as "Clean Up
Downtown for Christmas" and spring
cleaning.
Dr. Farmer said the mass media, along
with business leaders, have cooperated
very well in the plan. "Bill Rives (editor)
of the Denton Record-Chronicle ia work-
ing with us. carrying our stories and
pictures and doing publicity work with
ua," he added
S&H Gives Grant
Rural Study Planned
"There is increasing concern for the
future of cities and metropolitan areas,"
Dr. Harry Dick of the economics and soc-
iology faculty said Wednesday. "But the
fate of small towns has been overlooked
and ignored.
"With the symposium, we're going to
look at the future of small towns in the
urbanization process."
"The symposium" is a two-day meeting
set for March 2-3, 1967, at North Texas.
The conference is sponsored by the S&H
Foundation Inc., of New York City. The
foundation, as part of its lectureship
program, granted North Texas $2,000
recently.
"The giant helps North Texas extend
services to the community," said Dr.
Dick, who headed a four-man committee
that applied for the nward. "It will also
supplement the regular lectureship pro-
gram at the university."
The symposium will be titled "The
Future of the Small Town in an Urban-
ized Society." North Texas students and
faculty members will host area communi-
ty leaders and city officials and teachers
and students from other colleges.
Guest speakers will be Dr. Joseph
Bensman, associate professor of wciolo
gy, New York University; Dr. Seymour
Martin Lipset, professor of government
and social relations, Harvard; and Dr.
Otto Hoiberg, professor and head of com-
munity development, University of Ne-
braska.
The North Texas grant was one of 39
given by the Sperry and Hutchinson
Foundation (the Green Stamp people).
Working with Dr Dick on the applica-
tion committee were Dr. Dale Odom of
the history faculty, Dr. Clovis Morris-
son Jr. of the government faculty and
Williams Holmes of the geography fac-
ulty.
Debaters Get
National Topic
Dr. William R. DeMougeot, debate
coach, has announced the I960 national
collegiate debate topic. It will be "Re-
solved: That the United States should
substantially reduce its foreign policy
committment."
The topic is a result of a poll of the
participating college debate directors
around the country and reflects the
growing interest in current events among
the students, Dr. DeMougeot said.
''We hope this will cause debaters to
examine the basic principals of our for-
eign policy rather than get lost in num-
erous details."
Dr. DeMougeot forsees an active year
for NTSIJ debate teams. He is counting
on veteran debaters returning and form-
ing the core of his top team
"Although there sre always some sur-
prises among the debute group at the
first meeting, it appears now that we
will have 12 returning, experienced de-
baters and 12 newcomers," he said.
A meeting for everyone interested In
joining the debate team will be held
on Sept. 19, at 4 p.m in room 306 of the
Historical Building.
Returning NT debaters will be Cathy
Stricklin, who reached the 1966 national
finals, and Steve Segal, who was half of
the freshman team that won a national
championship
Also returning will be Ellen Stricklin,
Elaine Yarborough, Carla Whit-worth and
Suaan Duguesnay
