Brilliant Metropolitan Star, Astrid Varnay, Pfaff Stresses|WC Delegation Submits Bills
Presents Concert; Second in Civic Series Likely Issues On Health and Education
To State Student Legislature
A concert by dramatic soprano As-trid
Varnay marks the second pro-gram
of the Civic Music Series Thurs-day,
November 29, at 8:00 PM in Ay-f
cosk Auditorium.
Born in Sweden of Hungarian par-ents,
Astrid and her family came to
America in 1923. Both mother and
father were professional musicians in
opera; consequently Astrid grew up
surrounded by music and drama. Thus
when she made her debut at the
Metropolitan in 1941, singing without
benefit of any stage rehearsal the role
of Siegllnde in Die WaUcure as sub-stitute
for Lotte Lehmann, Miss Var-nay
was hailed by critics as a first rate
artist fully worthy of stardom in the
company. Six days later she made her
formal debut as Brunnhilde In the
same opera and since has become the
"reigning queen of the Metropolitan's
Wagnerian wing."
Her only two teachers have been
her mother and Hermann Weigart,
formerly assistant conductor and chief
Wagnerian coach at the Met. Astrid
became Mrs. Weigart in 1944, and he
now tours with her as coach, accom-panist,
and personal manager.
Miss Varnay has concertized all over
the United States, Canada, and South
America, as well a* at Covenant Gar-den
in London, the International Mu-sic
Festival in Lucerne, and in Vienna.
Not only does she excel in Wagner-ian
roles, but she shows her versatility
in singing Italian opera's Aida. Gio-conda,
and Travatore. Recently she
sang Salome with the New York Phil-harmonic,
and Strauss's Eloctra was
revived for her as a result of her spec-tacular
success in the concert version
of the opera with the Philharmonic
last year.
This program Is on the WC Lecture

Challenging student thought in
preparation for the Social Si nm ■
Forum. Dr Eugene Pfaff Monday night
presented six landmarks on the pres-ent
situation in China.
Speaking to students assembled in
the library lecture hall. Dr. Pfaff
listed the top points as follows: (1)
Communists are in firm control in
China: (21 there is not much likeli-hood
that the Communists will be
turned out by outside forces; (31 the
men in Peking are real Communists:
(4) they are just as aggressive as any-other
Communists; (51 they are not
ordinary puppets of the Kremlin; and
'61 the long range interests of China
and the Soviet Union are bound to
conflict.
Revolt Afainst Imperialism
One of the top Issues which Dr.
■ Pfaff named to be possibly Involved
I in Cultural Contrasts Betu'ecn East
and West, the opening session of the
Forum, was that of the nationalistic
period of revolt against colonial ex-ploitation
which China is undergoing
China is taking the only alternative,
totalitarianism, in the face of her
problems. The United States, Dr.
PfalT pointed out, preaches more de-mocracy
than it practices, and the
racial discrimination of the United
States weakens her hold on the East.
Is it possible for us. he asked, in our
position of wealth and influence, to

By ROLFE NEILL
A couple of hustling gals in New
Guilford dorm went dateless last week-end
In a unique effort to bolster WC's
faltering Campus Chest.
They were Frankle Herman, of Hick-ory,
and Kit Seibert, of New Jersey.
Both are sophomores.
Here's what they did:
Taking over the dorm's basement
kitchen Friday night the girls turned
out dozens of cookies and chocolate
squares. Then with their products
wrapped neatly In waxed paper, the
pair of cooks hawked their wares
among the dorm residents.
In about an hour the girls had sold
out of the 10-cent packages of cookies
and fudge. By the next night their
spirit had spread and other New Guil-fordlans
joined them in making and
selling sandwiches Saturday and Sun-day
nights.
"It was simple," explained the
blonde-haired Kit as she munched on
some left-over crumbs. "We weren't
trying to be heroines. The chest was
short of money so we decided to do
whatever we could. That's all there
was to It."
Frankle. the other half of the duo,
was all smiles this week as she turned
over $18 00 to the Campus Chest chair-man.
Even with the contribution of
Frankie and Kit the chest still was
$853.03 short today of Its $4,500.00
goal.
Last week the drive was extended
an additional week when it was found
at the time it was still some $900 shy
of the desired total As of Wednesday
night, however. Libby Boulus reported
that the total was only $3,646 97.
