Witold Maicuzynski, the celebrated Polish pianist, will appear
on the Artist's course Thursday,
January 17, at 8 o'clock in Warriner Hall auditorium. •
, Maicuzynski, proving to be one
of the sensational finds among the
last' quarter century, comes of a
family of business- and financial
interests rather than artistic traditions. He majored in law and philosophy at two Polish Universities. •
The love of music, deeply inbedded
in him, determined his entering
the Warsaw Conservatorium, where
his countryman, Frederic Chopin,
studied.
Maicuzynski entered as a candi- .
date for the Grand Prize of the
International Chopin competition
in. Warsaw. He easily won the coveted award and also met Colette
Gaveau, a pretty, dark-eyed young
Parisian pianist, whom he married
three years later.
The polish pianist came to the
United States in 1942. He- made his
debut in Carnegie Hall, New York,
followed by a'tour of Canada,then
a second and more successful series
of appearances in South America.
After a absence of' nearly' five
years, Witold Maicuzynski took Britain and France by storm on his return to Europe last spring.
"■ It has been prophesised that within a year or two Maicuzynski will
be recognized as one of the greatest pianists of all times. Critics
have gone on record with the assertion that within a century his name
will appear' beside Chopin, Liszt,
Paderewski and Rachmaninoff.
Student Council
Considers Policies
Bill Gregory, Plainwell senior,
and president of the Student Council, reported at the last meeting

The council decided to sponsor
another "Campus Capers" show
this year, featuring a combination
of group and individual talent. The
date has not been released as yet.
The council's stand on the smoking situation is that it will abide by
tiie recommendation of Keeler's
management that the tradition of
not smoking during dining hours
will be upheld but not enforced.
