'Cellist Thrills Igloo Audience By ELIZABETH HAUGEN Playing to a crowd of approxi mately 500 students, soldiers, and townspeople, Gregor Piatigorsky, world-renowned ’cellist, presented a richly varied program at Mc Arthur court last night. The color ful tones of his fabulous Mon tagnana ’cello thrilled his audi ence, who called for several en cores. . The first half of the program consisted of works by Mozart, Beethoven and Tschaikowsky. He played an encore of the Prelude in C Major by Bach, a stirring rhythmical number. The climax was reached in Prokofieff’s “Music for Children”, a Piatigor sky arangement, followed by Fantasie-Stucke by Schumann. The audience encored the vir tuoso's final selection, and he re turned with the "Swan” by Saint gaean, “Horra Staccato” by Din co, and “Rondo’’ by Vaber. Asked why he had continued to play this instrument, although it was not as well-known as others, he explained: (Please turn to fac/e four) A WS Answers Campbell Co-op Dear Editor: This letter is written to deny the accusations which appeared in yesterday’s Emerald, of “in efficiency and manipulation of tickets’’ in the AWS Nickel Hop. The charges expounded in the letter from Campbell club neg lected to reveal considerations which cast a different light on the affair. We contacted the members of Campbell club after it was learned that there were only eight men residing in the co op. The following facts were pre sented to them. Because they had eight members, and since the winner is chosen on a per centage basis, it was obvious that they would win, even if they didn’t turn out one hundred per cent. While other groups wouldn’t stand a chance, be cause of the difficulty of con tacting their members. The boys were then request ed to combine with Steiwer hall in taking part in the com petition. The president rejected our request. This adds up to one fact: Campbell club knew ahead of time what was going to happen. Still they condemned AWS as an inefficient organ ization, and go as far as to suggest that we disband. Suffice it to say that we feel that we were unjustly accused, and deem it unnecessary to ex tend our reply further.
