Blood Drive Falls Short of Goal;
Total of 102 Donors Contribute
A total of 102 pints of blood was netted during Central's recent
blood plasma drive. Although the amount of blood contributed fell
short of the goal which had been set, members of Alpha Phi Omega,
service fraternity which sponsored the drive, feel that the drive can
be termed "successful."

Annual Choir Tour
Set for February
The annual tour of the Central
Michigan College A Cappella
Choir will occur this year on February 4/5, 6, and 7, In past years,
the choir tour has been scheduled
mid-way in the second semester.
The 60 mixed voices and their
director Bernard Stone, professor of music, will' give up pari
of their vacation to accompany
the tour.
The choir will present its first
concert Sunday, Feb. 4, at the
First Congregational Church in
Manistee. They will then travel
to Traverse City where they will
give a program at 11 a.m. Monday, and then to East Jordan
where they will present both an
afternoon and evening perform-
bined efforts-of the Booster Club,
LIFE  staff,  speech  department,
college   administration," a   commerce faculty member, and interested students that made the
drive  successful.   Amond  added
that the 12 student nurses who
donated  much   of  their  time
should be especially commended.
The drive was a combined
operation of the State Department of Health and the Red
Cross. The local. hospital also
furnished  equipment  and. assistance. The Red Cross financed the campaign.
Plans are already under consideration for a future drive. Officers of APO and faculty members feel that another drive later next semester will be even
more  successful.
Mr. Amond urges students who
gave this time to "talk up" the
idea to their friends. In the future, organizations will be given
the opportunity to sign- their
members as prospective donors.
"The importance of the bank
makes this seem necessary," said
Amond.

Goldberg Praised by Appreciative Audience
ance.
* * *
TUESDAY afternoon the choir
will sing at Arthur Hill High
School. In the evening the group
will be guests of the Cass City
Community Club. Wednesday
they will travel to Bay City where
they will present two concerts:-
one at 9:15 and the other at 10:15
a.m. The tour will conclude with
a 2 pjn. concert at Caro High
School.
by Art Rice
Szymon Goldberg is a man of
music through and through. Such
was my impression of the gifted
violinist as he performed in the
third artist course of the semester,
January 18. <
Playing before an unusually
small but extremely appreciative   audience,   Goldberg   displayed great virtuosity and
skilled control throughout the
entire evening's concert.
The audience seemed to appreciate his ability, but didn't understand some of the music he was
playing,   especially  the  heavier
works in the first half of the program. By4the way, the original
program was to have consisted of
three heavy sonatas, but a change
was made to the somewhat lighter
program. One should not forget
though that most music written
for the violin is heavy.
'■***'.-.
THE FIRST NUMBER, Corel-
li's "La Folia," was clear and brilliant. Beethoven's "Kreutzer" was
long (for a formula of a warm
auditorium plus continuous violin
music equals an invitation to
sleep) but, nevertheless, powerful.
Chausson's "Pdeme" invested
with a birdlike effect near the
end was well-liked. The muffled-
box effect and vibrant plucking
in Paganini-Szymanowski's "Caprice No. 24" was lively and likeable.
Two romantic Hungarian  [where?
Dances by Brahms and Joachim
and two romantic dances for
encores by Dvorak concluded
the evening's program on a
lighter vein.
Artur Balsam effectively accompanied the violinist at the piano.
Sidelights of the concert, were
the on-again-off-again stagelight
maneuvers and the efficient page-
turning of the pianist's music by.
Betty Smith, Mt. Pleasant sophomore.
As -far as the foyer comment
went it resembled: "If I could
hear music like that on the violin
all the time, it might win me
over."   The   question   is—^over
