TUESDAY. DECEMBER Weisgall Discusses Poets, Composers The great balance in the struggle between composers and poets has been struck during only two historical periods— Elizabethan England and 19th century Germany, Hugo Weis gall said last night. Weisgall, distinguished visiting professor of music, dis cussed the histoiy of the union end separation of words and mu sic at the founder’s day banquet of State College chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Both the English and Geiman period he said, had great poets and composers as coniemporai ies, and the one cooperating with the other made them great. Weisgall cited Stravinky's setting to music of the works of Andre Gide and Dylan Thom as as significant unions of words and music in the 20th century, Shoenberg, who composed the music and wrote the words of “Aaron and Moses,” was described by Weisgall as perhaps one of the eight wonders of the 20th century. In a short sketch of the history of words and music, he first de scribed primitive music in which the “musical rhythms seem to guide the meaning of the words. Other great poet composers were the Hebrew King David who composed mafiy of the psalms, and the Greek poet com poser Sappho. During Roman times there was s separation between words and music, but in medieval times the poet and composer were brought together in cooperation to pro duce the troubadors, minnesingers and tiouvers of the middle ages Students Receive Grants Ten - students in industrial or mechanical engineering at the "University are studying under scholarships from the Foundry Educational Foundation, whose scholarship grants have totaled almost $50,000 in the last nine years.

PENNSYLVANIA M \ a , C'L-i Secretary-- (Continued from page four) employe has his employer's permission to make them up outside the regular work sched ule. This means ihai no clerical employe can even begin to work toward a degree in art; because virtually all art courses, alhough they are with in the six-credit limit, meet for six to nine hours a week and seldom meet on Saturdays. A five credit course in chemis try is also out of the question. I do not wish to imply that the clerical employe should be permitted to take more hours from her legiti mate work in order to study. The woik for which one is hired definitely should come before the peisona! puisuit of higher education. However, I do contend that the present regulations governing the edu cational privileges of Univer sity employes are too restiic tive for proper development of the individual in the democra cy that the University puiports to stand for. A little flexibility in these provisions would enable many people, who otherwise cannot afford to stop work and be come full-time students, to at tain a degree in their chosen fields. —Nanna Stewart, Second semester • Letter cut. —According to the education committee of the State College Borough Traffic Commission, most of the accidents in the area occur between 8 a.m. and 12 noon.
