Anderson Vespers Hit All Moods, Are Well-Balanced
By ED GARICH
As a box-office sensation, the vespers organ recital of Laurel Everette Anderson Sunday afternoon in Hoch auditorium was no standout, but as a fine program of music, well-balanced and interesting, it was a success. Old man weather undoubtedly had a hand in keeping people away, but those who did come were well repaid for their trouble.
First number on the program was Bach's little played "Fantasia in C Major" (five voices). A measured, slow piece, the Fantasia featured some nimble finger work on the part of the organist. The five voices entered each in its turn, and produced some interesting effects. The piece seemed a little too weighty for such a cheerful day, but Mr. Anderson came back in the second number, "Aria" (from the 12th Concerto Handel) to beautifully typify the mood of the day. The number was in almost diametric contrast to the first, being ultimately pastoral in effect. Rather sleepy, with a steady pedal accent, it was effectively done
The third number "Gavotte" (Martini), was as light and airy as anything we have heard on an organ. Remindful of "ye olden tymes," the piece continued its unruffled way to a fairy-like ending.
"Eklog" (Kramer) was offered next and introduced still another mood, that of melancholy and sadness. The chimes were used to good effect a couple of times, as well as a pedal solo part which was, to coin a phrase, rather weird.
Featured attraction of the bill of fare was the "Introduction, Passacaglia and Fugue), (Willan), a contemporary piece which features great contrast, and some rather unfamiliar chords. The Introduction started with a rather brooding theme in the pedals. Then, with a suddenness so startling that it almost got your correspondent's mail-order molars, the upper manuals interrupted with a crash, featuring brilliant runs and tremendous chords. Things then quieted down to a quieter mood for a while, only to be accented frequently with fiery runs. The Passacaglia was predominately undecided, with the mood changing from one of quiet to one of agitation on several occasions. The movement gained volume and power until it fairly filled the room.
It's really too bad that they don't applaud at these Sunday afternoon affairs, because the brand of music was certainly worth plenty of blistered palms.
The final movement started quietly enough, but gained in strength to the awe-inspiring climax, with no holds barred.
Directory Makes Social Life Easy for Students
The new student directory, probably the most useful magazine on the campus, is now in the hands of the students. Now after six weeks of emergency and "information please," social life can resume normal conditions. The new directory contains 80 pages, while the 1939-40 directory contained 93. Copies are still available in the office of the Registrar.
This year the phone number is in front of the name itself so that it not necessary to trace clear across the page to find the number.
Copies may be obtained at the registrar's office.
The first name in the student section is Miriam Avis Abele, a junior in the College who had the same position last year. The lead-of letter in the men's section is another "second termer," Roy Chester Abbett, a junior engineer. The last name in the women's section is Bernice Zuercher, a junior in the College, who also was in the last spot in 1939-40. Franklin Zook bringing up the rear in the men's division last season has been moved up to next to the last by Marvin
Zoschke, a freshman in the School of Fine Arts.
famed Jones's are considerably down the line with only 18, and Nelsons come up for fifth place with 16. After that, names are more evenly distributed with just a few of each one.
In the men's division, there are not many name duplications. The "Smiths" lead with 31 varieties. The Johnsons and Millers tie for second place with 24 apiece. The
Johnsons and Millers
The "Q" section contains only two people, which is the same number as last year, but they are different persons.

Fewer men than women of the same name are in the book this time. Only 13 Smiths, 10 Johnsons, 8 Millers, 11 Jones, and 8 Nelsons are listed among the women. McGrannahan is the longest name as compared with Ott, the shortest one. Three letter names are the shortest so far. Maybe next year there will be someone with a two-letter name.
