Marshals to Hold Membership Drive During the week of February 13 the Marshal group will conduct a membership drive. At this time all interested students may enter the organization. The Marshals is a service organ-ization, performing such duties as ushering, distributing programs, collecting tickets and greeting guests at assembly programs. On other occasions the Marshals will serve upon request, such as guided tours around the college campus. They also serve at special func-tions, including May Day, Home-coming, Baccalaureate, and Com-mencement. The insignia is an arm band in the college colors with the word ""Marshal"" in white letters on a gold background. Interested students may be-come candidates for membership through the campaign sponsored each year. To be eligible for can-didacy, a scholastic record of at least a ""C"" is required and there must be no membership in a mu-sical organization. Prospective members may be inducted into the organization after attending two meetings. Thursday and Friday of the week of February 13, present members will occupy the table by the north steps in the Ad building. They will be glad to answer any questions concerning membership in the Marshal organization. All interested students are ur-gently requested to join. I Personalities on the Campus by Bea Glinkovsky Our personality on campus for this issue is a woman who was completely unknown to this re-porter until a recent interview with her. Many of the students on campus knew of her and after meeting her I was glad of the op-portunity to feature Miss Louise H. Schroeder in this column. Miss Schroeder, private piano Louise H. Schroeder and voice instructor, has been af-filiated with the college for many years and has afforded numerous musically inclined students the pleasure of receiving enrichment under her capable guidance. For special training in areas that would be difficult to instruct in a regular class, Miss Schroeder is able to and has been assisting in-terested students. Room 110 of Richmond Hall is her ""studio"" where the college students, the Lida Lee Tall school children or anyone connected with State Teachers may go to receive - private instruction. The atmos phere in her room seems very in-formal and much more pleasura-ble than that of a classroom, and the time spent there is probably relaxing as well as enlightening. A graduate of the Peabody Con-servatory of Music, Miss Schroe-der sang for many years as so-prano soloist in some of the local churches and has, in fact, only re-cently given up this type of acti-vity. Besides getting great enjoy-ment out of the work she does at the college, Miss Schroeder gives private lessons at her home which is a two-story brick house in Go-vans. She lives alone, but as she loves her students she says, ""I al-ways keep out my welcome mat for my students."" Music in a classical vein is the only type that interests Miss Schroeder and when asked about other interests, she sincerely an-swered that music was her whole life. Trio Concert to be Held Tonight At 8:30 P.M. in Lida Lee Tall A trio concert will be given in the Lida Lee Tall Auditorium to-night at 8:30 p.m. The trio is comprised of Leopold Mannes, pi-anist, Madeline Foley, cellist, and Frances Magnes, violinist. Leopold Mannes is well known both as a soloist and as a member of chamber music ensembles. His playing has been acclaimed for its expressiveness and virtuosity. In addition to playing with this group, Mr. Mannes is a member of a trio including Bronislav Gim-pel and Luigi Silva. He specializes particularly in chamber music per-formances. Madeline Foley has studied with the world-renowned cellist, Pablo Casals, and has performed with him at the Prades Festi-vals. She is considered to be the outstanding woman cellist of this generation. Madeline has re-ceived rave reviews for her sensi-tive and musical interpretations. She is a musician of unusual sen-sibility, with a highly cultivated sense of style which enables her to play with a blend of perceptive-ness and poise. Frances Niagnes is one of the outstanding instrumentalists of today. She is known both as a solo performer and as a mem-ber of ensemble groups. As an artist, she is noted for her sensi-tive musical interpretations and beauty of tone. She has been ranked among the ten best violin-ists by the New York Press. A number of contemporary com-posers have written works espec-ially for her, and she has per-formed them with numerous ma-jor symphony orchestras. This concert will provide lovers of music the rare opportunity of hearing representative works in this medium, performed with an artistry equal in every way to the music's varied and subtle de-mands. Following the perfor-mance there will be a coffee hour, providing the audience with an opportunity to meet the artists. At this time the editors of the TOWER LIGHT would like to extend a welcome from the student body to all the new entrants at STC.
