For scientists believe that monotony plays an mpor-

it may rank next to physical discomfort itself.
As far combating physical discomfort is concerned.
most people know the best methods by now. But you
probably don't know much about the psychological
part of heat discomfort.
DR.. Arnold Dean, prominent California industrial
psychologist explains it this way: when the empera
normal we're scarcely conscious of it. But
when gets hot can't escape being of it. And
sometimes it's this the same kind of weather forcing
itself reIentleSSy upon our minds - that will

In other words prolonged heat spell, when we wake

BY JACKIE WALL

The performance of DR.. Walter
Hartley's Concert Overture" by
the National Symphony Orchestra,
Tuesday night. in Jarman Hall.
marked the first time. within
this writer's knowledge. that a
resident Of Farmville has had his
work played here.
Dr.. Hartley. 29-year old native
of Washington. D. c.. wrote the
prize winning composition for the
National Symphony Orchestra S
25th Anniversary Composition
Contest. Called a "commendable
work by Washington music
critic. it was received here as the
opening number of the SYM
phony's program with rousing
ovation by a good sized audience.
The enthusiastic response was
coupled with such observations as ::
"Longwood College is to be con
graduated for having young
and earnest composer among its
faculty.
Composer Writes
OF the composition, Dr.. Hartley
writes: 1T consists of an Adagio
followed by an Allegro in fairly
regular sonata form. There are
no programmatic associations. and
the style is basically tonal."
The Adagio was slow and calm
with a shifting of short phrases
from one set of instruments to
another. The Allegr following was
more lively. but very little theme
could be discerned throughout
the piece. The music was quite
modern in. setting. and TO ears
still at tuned to more conventional
tones and tuneSs. the compost
tons occasional dlssonance and
purposeful lack of traditional me-
lody must take some getting used
to.
