Demus, renowned four-band piano
team, will open the 1961-62 aeries
of Greensboro Civic Music Asso-ciation
concerts. On November 18,
at 8:30 p.m.. In Aycock Auditorium,
these outstanding Austrian pianists
will perform works from the often
neglected literature of piano duets.

selections by Shubert—the open-ing
number, "Marche caracteris-tlque
In C major. Opus 121, No.
2"; followed by "Grand Rondeau
In A major, Opus 107;" and Fan-tasy

Opus 39," The program will close
with their, performance of "Jeux

In 1947. Paul Badura-Skoda won
the Austrian Music Competition
and made his debut with the Vi-enna
Symphony under Moralt.
Outside Austria he was winner of
the 1948 Bartok Competition in
Budapest and the 1949 Paris Com-petition.
He has appeared with
the major European orchestral
under such distinguished conduc-tors
as Herbert von Karrajan and
the late Wllhelm Furtwaengler,
and has been featured at such
famous festivals as those of Vien-na,
Salzburg and Cannes.
Known throughout the world as
one of Austria's foremost pianists,
Badura-Skoda has not confined
his versatile genius to the concert
platform and recording studio: he
Is listed as co-author of a book
on Mozart Interpretations that is
highly regarded by musicologists.
His associate in this endeavor was
his lovely wife, Bva Halfer Badu-ra-
Skoda.
Joerg Demus, Just past thirty,
can look back on a record of ac-complishments
which would prove
staggering to an artist of many
more years. He has an impres-sive
array of prizes won in lead-ing
International competitions, the
most recent being the famous Har-riet
Cohen golden Bach medal
presented to him In London In
May. 1998. The coveted Busonl
Prize was won by him In Italy in
1956 against competitors from
twenty countries. This prize re-sulted
in a grand tour of Italy,
climaxed by a concert at Milan's
famed LeScale. For the past five
seasons Demus has had sold-out
concert tours throughout Europe
and in South America, Asia, Af-rica,
and the British Isles. He has
performed extensively as soloist
with symphony orchestras under
11 e a d lng conductors throughout
| the world. Critics and public ac-
' claim him as a pianist of the ro-
' mantle style with tremendous
power, yet with the romantic ly-ricism
which makes music speak
so eloquently to Its listeners.

Teaching Scholarships
Preliminary results of a survey
by the U. S. Office of Education In
dlcatc that three out of every five
college students who have borrow-ed
money under the National Da- j
: fense Education Act of 1958 are
I planning to teach, thus fulfilling
I one of the major goals set by
Congress In passing the act, Sec-retary
Abraham Riblcoff has re-
• ported. In contrast, among college
j students generally, only about one
; In four actually enters teaching.
The Office of Education had
loaned about $120 million to 230-
000 college students and postgrad
' uates as of June 30. 1961. The
j actual money available, however,
was at least $133 million, since
the act obliges colleges and uni-versities
making the loans to add
, at least one dollar of their own
for every nine dollars expended
by the Office of Education.
There will be a meeting on
Thursday, November 16. at 7:00
p.m. for all students who have a

BY CAROLYN SCOTT
Across the state of North Caro-lina
Tuesday, $61,600,000 in pro-posed
bond Issues were emphati-cally
defeated. Around half of this
money would have gone for higher
educational institutions, while the
remainder would have been spread
out for purposes from ports ex-pansion
to mental Institutions to
state parks and forestry protec-
Uon. Not one of these 10 Issues
were passed.
State supported colleges, Includ-ing
the Consolidated University of
North Carolina, has looked to the
bonds to provide (acuities to keep
up with swelling enrollment. They
would have shared $31,008,000 for
classrooms, dormitories, and other
facilities. With 2,016 precincts re-ported,
213,749 voted against the
higher education Issue and 133,-
858 voted for It
Many of the defeated areas can
use other means for obtaining the
money necessary for carrying out
their programs, but there is little
that higher education can now do
to remedy Its present situation.
William C. Friday, president of
the Consolidated University, said
Wednesday that "right now, as we
see It, there Is very little, If any-thing,
that can be done about get-ting
the money until the 1963
Legislature meets." He said that
"the only availability open is to
borrow funds from the Federal
Housing Administration and this Is
very limited In its use."
The results of the election show.
ed two surprises. The size of the
total vote was 350.000. The margin
of the defeat was the second sur-prise.
All the bonds were expected
to pass, and only a light turnout
of not more than 200,000 had been
predicted. Governor Sanford had
predicted a vote of 175,000 to
200,000, with a healthy margin of
approval for the Issues, but the
trend against them started show-ing
up In the first returns.
U of Texas Elects Negro
As Student Gov't Member
There has been a considerable
amount of controversy and activity
over the question of integration
at the University of Texas this
year, and last week's elections
were a heartening sign of the
trend.
Students voted In favor of a ref-erendum
on the Integration of In-tercollegiate
activities by a mar-gin
of nearly 1,900 votes. At the
same time, the first Negro mem
ber of the student government
was elected.
The referendum read:
"Do you favor allowing p., < :ci-patlon
of capable athletes of all
races In the University's Inter-collegiate
athletic program."
The vote was 5,132 for. 3,293
against.
A record turnout of voters was
drawn by the Issue. The previous
high for any election at the Uni-versity
was 6,905. Only one of the
University's schools had a majori-ty
opposing Integration.
None of the colleges In the
Southwest Athletic Conference, in
which Texas competes, has an In-tegrated
athletics program, but
there are no conference rules pro-hibiting
Negro participation. The
results of the referendum will be
presented to the Board of Regents.
Although the referendum has no
official effect on university poli-cy,
supporters were elsted by the
support It received. They feel that
the victory, coupled with the elec-tion
of a Negro to the Student
Assembly, marks a turning point
In student government at the Uni-versity.
The Negro student elected to
office is Gwen Jordan, the only
Negro in the field of ten candi-dates
for office. She is the first
Negro ever to be elected to a cam-pus
political office at Texas.
She Is one of 300 Negroes at-tending
the University, and she
explained her candidacy by saying,
'•We are members of the student
body, and whether we are discrim-inated
against or not Isn't the
question. We can never become a
real part of U.T. unless someone
speaks out."
She Is not the first Negro to
run for office. In 1938, Joel Mc-
Brlde ran for office, but was un-successful.
Gwen has a B.A. In
sociology and history, and return-ed
to school this fall to take edu-

The reaction against the bonds
has been Interpreted by some as
a sign of dissatisfaction In regard
to the sales tax which has been
placed on foods. Others find their
reasoning for Its defeat in the
package deals which were handed
to the voters.
No matter what the reasons or
theories, it is fact that North
Carolina is ranked 46th among the
states in expansion of higher edu-cation
systems, and that by 1970,
ever If there Is only a moderate
Increase in the proportion of col-lege
age population whlcb attends

Carolina colleges Is expected to
increase nearly 50 per cent.
North Carolina faced a compell-ing
need and as unprecedented
opoprtunlty to express Its support
of the university system and high-er
education In this state. Educa-tion
is the wealth as well as the
welfare of the people. In depriv-ing
