Musical Discussion
At Home Ec. Club
The February meeting of the
Home Economics Club was held
Thursday. February 9,
Club president, Ann Brandon
called the meeting to order and
announced that a committee to
nominate officers for next year
will be appointed soon. Ann ad-vised
that any suggestions for of-ficers
should be given to a mem-ber
of the nominating committee.
Ann presented Nancy Broda,
who Introduced the guest speaker.
Dr. O. L. Rlgsby, Dean and pro-fessor
of the Music Department.
Dr. Rlgsby presented an Inform-ative
talk on "Music In the
Home."
Dr. Rlgsby's first comment was
that the only thing missing In the
lovely lounge in the Home Eco-nomics
Building Is a piano. The
members agreed with him and
expressed their desires for a piano
In Stone Lounge.
In his discussion Dr. Rlgsby
pointed out that thirty years ago
there was a piano In almost every
home and that one could tune In
an excellent music program on
the radio at any time. Now, how-ever,
the American public has
placed Its values on other objects
and has sacrificed the piano. Also,
today there are very few oppor-tunities
to tune in good music on
the radio or television.
Dr. Rlgsby is opposed to this
trend and recommended that it Is

audience.

concentrated on authoritative
first-hand Interpretations of the
Strauss tone poems. During his

World War II. He worked
with Ihc National Symphony Or-chestra

head of the theory department
and resident composer at Bevard
College. Aside from this he directs
the college choir and conducts
the Ashevillc Symphony. "Glor-ious
Everlasting," a festival an-them,
has probably been the moat
frequently performed of his works,
having been recorded on Colum-bia
Records by the Tabernacle
Choir, featured In European con-cert
tours by Allan Dash and the
All-American Chorus, and used
extenstlvely In Choral Festivals

On the Job training Is one of
the benefits which hundreds of
college girls and women graduate
students may enjoy this summer
at Girl Scout camps throughout
the country. Operated by nearly
650 Glil Scout councils through-out
the country, these camps give
many thousands of girls 7 through
17 years old a chance to live,
work and play with girls of dif-fering
backgrounds. In the re-laxed,
informal atmosphere of the
out-of-doors.
Many schools allow field work
credit for Girl Scout camp Jobs,
toward degrees In such subjects
aa group work .social work, soci-ology,
education, science, physi-cal
education, and recreation.
Whether or not the Job counts
toward your degree, the experi-ence
furnishes Invaluable Insights
Into the attitudes and reactions
of girls, and into the modern
camping and human relations
procedures in which the Girl
Scouts have pioneered.
A "Meat" Far Seaae
Moreover, work at a Girl Scout
camp furnishes a practical back-ground
for future participation In
the growing school camp program.
And school systems regard It aa
a most desirable type of experi-ence
In candidates for all teach-ing
Jobs. It It practically a "must"
for girls preparing for profession-al
careers In Girl Scouting or In
similar youth movements.
In addition to professional prep-aration,
work at Girl Scout camps
gives women chances to engage
In their hobbles and personal In-terests
and to acquire new ones
—photography, outdoor sports,
dramatics, and nature atudy. And
the opportunity for an expense-free
summer In the out-of-doors
seems almost like a vacation with
pay.
Particularly needed are counse-lors
to live and work with girls
in the wholesome partnership
which marks Girl Scout adult-child
relationships Of course,
previous camping experience Is
helpful. Among the basic require-ments
are good health, enthusi-asm,
patience, adaptability, and
love of children.
Candldatea also must be In
sympathy with the objectives and
philosophy of Girl Scouting.
For students 21 or older, there
are numerous openings for unit
