PAGE EIGHT HUB Survey Shows Three Top Records Of the thousands of musical composers and performers in the world's history, the three currently most popular among long-playing record enthusiasts at the University are George Gershwin, Dave Brubeck, and Sigmund Romberg. This conclusion follows if the number of times records have been played from the thousand dollar long playing rec- ord collection in the Hetzel Un ion Building can be judged as an indication of University students' musical interests. According to Hummel Fishburn, sophomore in business admin istration and son of Dr. Hummel Fishburn, professor of music and music education, a Gershwin col lection of "Rhapsody in Blue," "American in Paris," and "Con certo in F" has been played in the HUB record booths at least 125 times. Gershwin's nearest competitors are Brubeck's "Jazz at Storey ville," 110 times, and Romberg's "Student Prince," and "Chocolate Soldier," 105 times. Fishburn, who works for the Student Union, has kept a record of how many times each record has been played since they were put in the HUB about March 1. The records were bought and in stalled by Phi Mu Alpha, men's music fraternity. Romberg Popular Fishburn said the popularity or non-popularity of nearly every record can be explained except the inexplicable drawing power of the Romberg album. The rec ord presents songs by Rise Ste vens and Nelson Eddy from "The Student Prince" and "The Choc olate Soldier." Fishburn mentioned the seven or eight "regulars" who come in and listen to records at least once nearly every day. Some of these students, two of them graduates, listen to different records while others hear the same piece over and over again until they have "practically memorized them." An. Time Populars Jazz records and classical and semi-classical numbers that have always been popular with Amer icans from record stores to out door concerts head the list of often-played records. A sampling includes Benny Goodman's Carnegie Hall Jazz concert, 83 times; Louis Arm strong "Favorites," 74; George Shearing and his Quintet, 69; Respighi's "Pines of Rome" and "Fountains of Rome," 69; "Okla homa," 68; Ravers "Bolero," 73; Leroy Anderson "Favorites," 59, Stan Kenton's "Artistry in 1 . i 1 .z., .:::,.:: r otlIT A ~: , i.„:,,,, You i tif.

An example of the attention that can be attracted by art works is the Lion Shrine, gift of the class of 1940. Many people come to the University to see this shrine, Hyslop said. Sculptor Would Work Here Hyslop said that if a sculptor were commissioned to do the work, he would probably com plete the operation here as it is extremely expensive to move sculptures. The most recent addition to the campus along this line was the gateway at the corner of Atherton street and Pollock road. The gate way, consisting of two limestone pylons with sculptured heads of the Nittany Lion, was a gift of the class of 1903 at their 50th reunion in 1953. Rhythm," 59; Dvorak's "New World Symphony," 63; "Kismet," 55; Tchaikovsky's "1812 Over ture," 34, and "Nutcracker Suite and Swan Lake," 46; Richard Wagner's orchestral selections, 43; Debussy' "Prelude to tji e After noon of a Faun," 50; Barodin's "Polovetsian Dances," 50; "South Pacific," 52; and "Carousel," 38. Two courses given in music, numbers 5 and 6, have definitely caused students to play more classical and semi-classical rec ords than they ordinarily would, Fishburn said. Although some may listen to the records because they must hear certain records for the two courses, he said, others probably frequent the HUB's music room because they liked what they heard in the classes and wanted to hear more. Some records in the religious or operatic fields have never been played. However, one rec ord listed in rishbunf s book as being unplayed can boast of a reason other than students' dis taste. The record, a history of 2000 years of music, was never recorded in the book listing all the records available to would-be listeners. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE.
