- The concert at 8 p.m. today in Swarthownt Recital Hall will be devoted to songs by contemporary German composers. The recital will be open to the public.
SELECTIONS will include two songs by Arnold Schoenberg, five songs by Hermann Reuter, "Vagabond Songs" by Phillip Mohler and a group of nine settings of Shakespeare poems by Wolfgang Fortner. Prof. Schmidt returned to the campus this fall after a sabbatical year in Germany.
IN GERMANY I tried to bring to the German audience a knowledge of our American Song Literature. I had discovered that their knowledge of American music was confined to Negro folk songs such as "Porgy and Bess," Prof. Schmidt said.
He presented a series of lectures through the Department of Cultural Relations at the American Embassy in that country. The lectures were illustrated by his singing songs composed by such men as Griffis, Carpenter and Barber.

'Enemies of Books' Collection Displayed at Watson Library
A collection of "The Enemies of Books" is on display at the main entrance to Watson Library. The display shows major destroyers of books.
Cockroaches, bookworms, mice, water, fire, moisture and slow erosion and decay are responsible for destruction to printed documents.
Alexandra Mason, acting curator of special collections for the library, arranged the collection.
MISS MASON said book destruction is a constant problem in this and any library, and many people do not realize the amount of damage that is done.
Careless readers and book-users harm books by underlining lines with pencil or pen or by tearing out pages, she said. Scotch tape used to repair some tears eventually turns yellow and helps erode the books.
"A BOOK is the product of a man's mind. Mostly through the thoughtless actions of people, books are destroyed. A person who destroys a book is destroying the product of a man's mind." Miss Mason said.
The collection will be on display through Christmas vacation.
N.Y. Fireman Caught With Cuba Guerillas

The government newspaper Revolution identified him as Richard Pecoraro, of Staten Island, N.Y., who was fired by the N.Y. fire department for leaving the city without authorization during a vacation.
