Waring Exciies Corner;
Gives Coed Autograph
By ELAINE MITTLEMAN
and JERRY THUMPER
The Corner was more unusual
than it’s been in a long time.
“He isn’t, lie is, he was, he
wasn’t!” Everyone was so excited
they weret talking in riddles. The
author of “The Sweetheart of Sig
ma Chi” was in town.
“Did you see him?” Oh, I’m so
excited. He just went out,” com
posed the conversation. Heads
were bobbing up and own, in and
out of every booth. We were just
walking out when we heard “he
was! Where? Over on the other side
eating dinner.” A group walked
over pretending to look for a
booth and there he was—Fred
Waring—sitting next to the win
dow looking as handsome and dis
tinguished as his pictures only
minus the Pensylvanians.
“Gee, I’d love his autograph,”
a coed said.

Busch Opens
Music Series
Adolph Busch’s Little Symph
ony, created especially to play the
18th century music of Bacih, Hay
dn, and Mozart, will open this
season’s Artists’ Course series, in
Schwab Auditorium, 8 p. m., Nov
ember 26.
The basic purpose of the Little
Symphony, according to Mr.
Busch, is “to play together so
much that works in larger form
can be performed like chamber
music, like quartets, in which ev
eryone knows his own part thor-r
oughly and is in complete under
standing with his fellow players.”
Feeling that the finest essence
of the music of Mozart, Bach, and
Haydn had been lost in the grow
ing craze for bigger and better
symphony orchestras, Mr. Busch,
in 1935, created the Busch Cham
ber Music Players, which has be
come the Little Symphony with
27 musicians.
The orchestra’s first appearance
was at 'the Florence May Festival
in 1935 when, at the request of
the Italian government, it pre
sented the Bach Brandenberg
Concert. The Little Symphony is
now on its first American tour.
“IGO ahead and ask him for it,"
her friend replied.
“Oh no, I don’t even have a
pencil and paper."
Somebody remedied the situation,
but ony after they suggested us
ing a soda check. The group gath
ered in the aisle to watch “pro
ceedings” and she went over.
“Shaky” had nothing on her.
“Hello, could I please have your
autograph?” It seemed like cen
turies before he answered.
“Well—what does it mean to
you?"
“A lot. You see it’s a dare and
besides I’d love to have it." Her
knees were changing places with
her ankles and her heart just
wasn’t.
“Are you getting anything out
of it?” Mr. Waring asked..
“Well, no,” she stammered.
