FEMME FARE
FAY is SUCH AN
INTRIGUING NAME

o, God, keep me always a little
unsatisfied
would rather die than be like
Fay
Fay could be no more than 80
years of age, but to look at her,
one would think she was As. To
talk to her is to feel oneself in the
company of a tired old woman OF
go To spend one lunch hour with
her is to feel as if one were being
choked to death for the lack OF
fresh air
Fay does not dream she is an
object of pity. She is satisfied with
her lot. If her life is not as glamor-
Gus as some others she reads or
hears about, she believes her life
is lot better than the lives of a
lot of people she knows.
So with her job For almost
seventeien years she has been
living the same routine, and has
| seen no occasion to change. She
started at seventeen as a stem
ographer, meekly doing work2as
it was assigned to her, eve
doing more than she was asked
to do, and biding her time for
she certainly was not dumb. She
was quick to learn the advan-
tages of a government job n d
the value of seniority and three
weeks with pay. And in seven
teen years, she has risen to be-
/ come secretary to top man, step
ping up, moing with her boss OF
/ successor to her boss, as the case
might be, as would a good office
desk, a filing cabinet or an ink
stand. And with every move, she
has seen her monthly earnings in
crease till today. she knows her
earnings though not fabulous in
the world of business, are quit e
fabulous for what she does to earn
it
And what she does is not very
much Her main job is to answer
telephones in Whitney sort OF
voice, to take a few letters daily
and to make sure her boss signs
all the necessary documents sent
up for his signature and to finish
another sweater or another pain

lesser-paid secretaries and clerks
often compose the letters or an

she spends watching television. She

vies sometimes think ungodly
thoughts about Fay I'm convinced
she sits before the teleyision set
nightly in sheer spite, just so that
she will get her moneys worth out
of it
She plans her expenditures in
minutest detail She never does
anything on impulse. If she takes
luxurious trip, which is rarely,
she makes up for three years by
merely existing. The glamour and
the wonder of any trip for her is
lost because she can only remem-
Der how expensive the meals were,
how Expensive tn hotels were, and
how much NOR money she h d
spent than she had counted on
spending
Fay has no opinions. 1t is con-
sidered her redeeming quality.
She is always spoken of as nice
girl who wouldn't say or do a mean
thing to anybody" One wonders if
this quality is not a lack of res
pect for oneself, lack of any deep
feeling, lack of interest, lack of a
nything but a redeeming quality
If only once she would flare up
and utter some human remark, be
it in anger, or envy, or even in
loWly cattiness, one could imagine
living spirit somewhere in the
layers of muscles and bones and
! systems which make up Fay And
, then there would be hope that
some day she would wake up to re-
alize what is happening to her
And yet 1 cannot say that have
! not seen her come to life. I saw it
once. I was discussing crocheting
with her when I suddenly realized
that she could be an attractive,
and even a vital woman She got
all excited because she had knitted
herself one of those new-styled
toques advertised in Morgan's for
IS for only 81 Her eyes, which I
, had thought nondescript, became
blue as the wild gentians I remem-
Der as child, as she talked of re-
turning one ball of wool and get
ting her money back for it The
directions had said three balls and
| she had needed only two Her
voice rose Her eyes shone.
And yet Fay has no apparent
reason to take life as she does.
Her people are we'll established.
She supports no one She has me-
yer been called to help any one
She will never have to worry in
terms of the future And yet she
continues day in, day out. living
her routine life of no highlights
and no shadows
Fay is lovely name Her mo-
Their must have had lovely dreams
when she named her But Fay will
never live up to her name. She
folded up her little wings the day
her bright little brain learned to
be smugly satisfied, the day she
became too wrapped up with the
idea of security.
That, to me. is a tragedy To me
1t is terrible waste of brains of
opportunity, of life itself

THURSDAY. OCTOBER Ia 1854
By Moi. Thomos N. Mol

Congress approved four ma
jor pieces Of veterans legisla-
ton this year in contract to last
year. when it took little If any
action in this field.
At least six more laws passed
this year could be considered in
:. the runner-up class.
Probably the most important
bills passed raised compensation
: and pension payments for some
I $500, 900 veterans and their de-
pendents. Running close Sec
ond and third in Importance
; were bills which extended the
Korean CT Bill for a year and
authorized $50 million dollars in
direct CT loans.
Here are some Of the details
about the major legislation:
I COM SATION IN
CREASES public Law 695)-
i This law increased payments for
-service-connected disabilities for
3 two million veterans and for
j S11 400 dependents of veterans
! who died in or as a result of their
L service. For disabled vets, in
!; creases generally amounted to
! per cent. Increases were as high
: as IS per cent for widows with no
children and for dependent par
ents of deceased vets. However.
no increases were granted to
j widows with children, or children
alone, because previous increases
were thought to be sufficient.
PENSION INCREASES pub

. monthly payments to some 545,-
600 wartime vets with non-serv-

The New Art Wind Quintet,
recognized as the finest organiZa
ton of it's kind, will be heard in
concert here at 8 pm. on Friday,
February 5, at Jackson College in
Dansby Hall Auditorium. Their
appearance here was arranged by
the Jackson College Lyceum As
sociation.
Organized in the fall of 1947,
the group consisted of nothing more
than five gifted and enthusiastic
wind players who met occasionally
for classical liam sessions" Out
of this informal beginning was
born the New Art Wind quintet.
It's infant days were spent in
constant rehearsal and in discuss
ing plans for the group.
Much of the preparatory period
was spent in delving through the
music libraries of New York, Wash
ington, and Philadelphia in a pain
stalking and prolonged search for
original wind quintets from past
centuries, long neglected. A large
portion of the unearthed material
turned out to be of excellent cali
bre, and after laborious hours of
copying, was incorporated into the
groups permanent repertoire.
New works were carefully scrut-
inized, and even more significant,
the NAWQ began writing to con-
temporary composers, informing
them of the availability of a group
which would further the interest in
new wood wind quintet music. The
result of the entire project has
been a repertoire, ever on the in
crease, of more than 500 original
compositions. Research continues;
composition of new works stimu-
lated by the existence of the group
continues; and the process of en-
larging both new and old roper
toire forges ahead steadily.
Because of their novel and crea-
tive approach toward the prob
lem of achieving real ensemble,
the NAWQ has achieved a bal
ance and perfection attained by
only the finest of musical organl-
cations. The most difficult ensem-
BILE problems, i. e. intonation and
a balancing of the instruments,
are tackled with enthusiasm and
thoroughness and are not relin-
quished until solved. The various
problems of Interpretation are al
ways decided by the entire group,
even if hours of discussion are en-
tailed before a particular viewpoint
is arrived at. Although each men,
Der of the group has his own per-
sonal and individual style of play

has an over all record of seven
victories against one defeat. The
lone defeat came at the hands of
Southern University at the climax

true unit: the quintet. The NAWQ's

tone and color which is as excit-
ing as it is rare, and which endows
each composition with a new and

The New Art Wind Quintet
made its New York debut in a
memorable concert presented in
March, 1851, and it was immediate
ly hailed as one of the most excit-

many years. Since then, the
NAWQ's activities have served to
establish it as an organization
unique and invaluable in the musi-

The NAACP had protested a.
gainst the mass arrest Of the SOL
diers.
Meanwhile, at Fort Jackson,
where the servicemen are sta
toned, new policy on civil ar
rests Of soldiers was announced.
This policy reverses a former one
in that it provides for the release
of military personnel taken into
custody by Columbia police to mil
itary police at Fort Jackson. No
action, except on traffic violations
and major offenses, may be taken
by civil authorities.
The old policy, as per statement
by an army spokesman, was as
follows:
When soldiers are arrested off
post for off-post violations, action
is always up to local civil authori-
ties.

edges it is checking to determine
whether there was any federal vio-

His studies of Simon Bolivar,
Latin American iberator, and of
his nephew and foster-son, Fer
