ITS ALL OVER! Freshmen gleefully greeted the news that cus toms had officially ended at the VMI game with loud shouts and the tossing of dinks, namecards and handbooks in the air. SptvakovskyrSaysi Interest Grows College students have definitely grown more interested in classical music in the past few years, according to Tossy Spivakovsky, famous violin virtuoso. Spivakovsky, who appeared before a full house in Schwab Auditorium, Sunday night, said he has received favorable responses toward serious music from the students at the several campuses where he has played. He feels that most students pre fer the lighter classical music like that of Paganini. In his performance here, he purposefully played a “heavy concert” to see the reaction to it and to acquaint the audience with some of the more difficult musical compositions. His program included works of Mosarl. Bach, Beethoven, and Debussy. He played two encore—Bach composition, and a Paganini work. Spivakovsky said that the only, way that people can come to un derstand and appreciate music by the more difficult composers, like Bach and Beethoven, is to listen to their works repeatedly. Several times during the con cert Spivakovsky had to polish the strings of his rare 1721 Stra divarius violin. The sudden rise of humidity and the warm air affected the extremely sensitive] instrument, he said. Spivakovsky also carries another violin and four bows. Spivakovsky is a small-framed man, slightly built, but a person of tremendous energy. He was gracious to the group of auto graph-seekers that waited for him outside his dressing room, and he spoke individually to each of them in English' highlighted by a pleasing European accent !| The All-American Rathskeller announces, for your added convenience, extended serv- Icea and new hours—ll e.m. until 12 p.m., We are serving lunches, dinners and your favorite beverage.

I Thousands of blue dinks were ;thrown high in the air when the Class of ’63 was told of its “re lease.” Shouting and cheering, the freshmen tore up their namecards and freshman handbooks ,and threw them up in the air with the dinks, showering the stands with white "confetti.” This year the customs board re newed an old tradition and end ed Customs by announcing it dur ing half-time ceremonies of the game. In the past Customs has ended with a tug-of-war between the freshmen and sophomores or hat men. Last year freshmen had to catch a greased pig to end Cus toms. Donald Clagett, chairmanof the Freshman Customs Board, said the enthusiastic spirit of the freshmen was the reason for end ing Customs after one week. Somethin? New... Stop In TODAYI IOLLEGIAN.
