Union Music Room Offers Quiet, Relaxation For Lovers of Gershwin to Tchaikowsky
Only a door separates the noise and confusion of the Union lounge from the quiet of the music room. There for several hours each day an attendant will play any music requested.
The studio is equipped with a chair-side phonograph and speaker cabinet, a collection of more than 700 records, a card index set of composers and titles, and a set of musical dictionaries, gifts from the Carnegie foundation in New York, in 1939.
Several years ago, the music room was located in what is now the East room. When the navy came to the University in 1943, that room was taken as an officers' club. Then the equipment was switched to the officers' club. Then the equipment was switched to the English room, but dinners interfered with the music schedule.
Finally a section of the women's lounge was partitioned off, a new door cut from the main lounge into
that section, and the room padded so that the acoustics would be the best possible.
Attendants in the room are Harold Timmerman, Engineering junior; Harry Kirsnher, College freshman; and Humberto Trujillo, Spanish instructor from Columbia, South America.
The most popular records, so the attenders say, are Dvorsak's "New World Symphony," Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony," Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," Tschaikowsky's "Sixth Symphony," (Patetiche), and his "Romeo and Juliet Overture." Among the oldest are a set of Richard Strauss conducting the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra.
Timmerman conducted a poll of music room patrons at the end of last semester to see what records they would like added to the collection. Next year, for the first time since the beginning of the war, new records will be purchased.
