New Chamber Concert Series
Offers Intimate Performances

is an explanation of the newly
formed Chamber Concert series.
In it AI Kirk explains the puropse
of the series and its relation to
the already-existing Civic Music
series.)
By AL, KIRK
A definite need has been felt by
music students, and interested stud
ents and1 faculty members, for a
supplement to the Civic Music ser
ies run each year in McArthur
court. This need arises out of two
main circumstances. The type of
and selection of music performed,
and the uninspiring and impersonal
atmosphere created by McArthur
court and the large audience.
The “Chamber Concert Series”
offers a contrast to this situation
by being performed in the Univer
sity school of music auditorium to
a more select audience, and by of
fering performance of music select
ed by the school of music faculty,
and the students of the three spon
soring organizations, for its musi
cal significance and educational
value.
More Personal
The smaller auditorium will cre
ate a much more personal atmos
phere for artists as well as the aud
ience, and a planned reception fol
lowing each concert will give those
interested a chance to meet and talk
with the performers.
In this series the music’s being
featured rather than the big name
of an artist. The practice of fea
of an artist. The practice of featur
of the music, is found only in this
country. It is created by high pow
ered press agents, and one of the
IT
jobs of musicians and serious list
eners is to make the public realize
that a press agent affects neither
the quality of performance nor the
music.
Music Above Artist
By featuring the music over the
artist, there is no interest to cre
ate the false impression that the
arists performing on this series are
not all top ranking professional mu
sicians. The members of the Cali
fornia String Quartet, who will be
heard November 8, in the first of
the series, are all first chair men in
their respective sections, in the San
Francisco symphony. The second
concert, a piano recital, will be per
formed during winter term, by
Bernhard1 Abramowitsch, designat
ed by critics as “one of the foremost
pianists residing on the west coast,
and one of the most commanding
figures in the field anywehr.e”
The third performance of the
series will take place spring term
and will consist of the opera per
formed each year by the school of
music. The outstanding success of
the last year’s performance speaks
for the appeal of the apera perfor
mance.
First Time
It is worthy of note that this is
the first time such a series has
been offered on this campus, and
the sponsoring organizations are
depending on the students and the
faculty of the University for the
majority of the audience, although
interested townspeople are also
welcome.
Tickets for the series of three
concerts are priced at $3., and may
be purchased from any member of j
Penalties Asked
By Marquette Coach
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 2 (API—
Something new in football penalties
—a $75 fine for each of the officials
if one of them doesn’t know the
rules and the others don’t call him
an it—was advocated yesterday by
a 29-year veteran of college coach
ing.
Frank J. Murray of Marquette
University, incensed by what he
called “the worst officiating I’ve
seen in years” during the Marquet
te-Purdue game at Lafayette, Ind.,
Saturday, made the suggestion.
“If no official knows the rule and
none of the others correct him when
he calls an incorrect penalty, they
all should forfeit the pay they're
getting ofr that game,” declared
Murray. “That’s $75, normally, not
counting expenses.”
