Americas Most Colorful Collegiate Ensemble
Duquesnes Famed 7ammies
First of a Series)

@ERIAlNLY the most eX-
~ traordinary collegiate or
ganization in the us, the
Duquesne University Tambur-
itzans is a group of "a unusu-
ally talented, but otherwise
typical, college students who
sing, play and dance their way
through college.
In an average of 80 full
evening concerts which they
present each year through
out the country, they enter
tain, enthrall and amaze
American audiences wit h
their renderings of the unbe-
lietably beautiful music and
dances of the Slavic people.
The group takes it's name
from the "tamburitza", a Bal
kan stringed in S r u m e n t
which forms the basis for
their musical work.
With headquarters at
Duqlesne University in
Pittsburgh, Pa, the young
artists are full-time stu
dents receiving scholarships
in return for their partici-
patton in this unique group.
Technically, they are anna
teurs; however, critics corsis-
tently praise the professional
caliber and continuity Of their
production, which is far a.
bove average college level.
The organization is cur
rently in it's 22nd season of
activity. It is directed by a
staff of three, headed by Mr..
Walter w. Kolar, who are all
top-notch men in the field of
Slavic folk culture.
The entire aggregation of
talented, enthusiastic young
students has never failed to
delight all who have come to
witness their performances.
Truly Unique Group
Duquesne University's
famed Tamburitzans is the
only organization of it's kind
in the us.
Being a scholarship group,
it's main purpose is to enable
talented students, regardless
of nationality, to pursue a
full-time university program
that will lead to a degree Of
the students choice.
This is realized by put
ting to use the age-old in
strument of the Southern
Slavic peoples, the "tam-
buritza".
In addition to playing this
stringed forerunner of the
modern guitar, the collegiate
performers sing, as we'll as
dance, to the music of many
nations.
Careful Screening
The Tamburitzans, in their
operations, can be to a large
measure compared to many
other extra-curricular or
sports programs at institu-
tions of higher learning.
Each student who comes
into the organization is
screened and auditioned on
the following three points;
| y scholastic standing, y
character, and 81 talent.
He or she, when accepted
may enter the school Of their
, choice, be it Education, Mu.
sic, Business or Science.
After completing tn 81 I
four-year course, they are re.
placed by new, incoming
freshmen. Thus the group,
over a four-year period, has
a complete change of person.

True Value of HOia.e


. Has our Children's Home
indeed fulfilled a great func-
tion over the decades? A good
question.
The answer, Of course, is
yes, for approximately 500
youngsters entered and left
it's portals the better off for
their days as wards of the
institution.
Many of those graduates"
are now prominent profess
s i o n a l figures, tradesmen,
businessmen, respected ia
theirs and mothers.
What might their lot in life
have been had they not come
to be sheltered and brought
up by the Croatian Fraternal
Union? Who knows from day
to day what life holds in store
for him?
But w do know that the
nearly 500 who were raised in
the Home have ever pointed
to the Society as the mother
who reared them and sent
them into the world with
heads raised on high.
All of us should be grateful
for this to those pioneers who
foresaw the necessity of the
Children's Home and brought
it into being many, many
years ago.

Children'S Home

. Returning to our cover
age of the Textbook in ques-
ton, we ask our readers to
join us in a brief review of
the CFU Children's Home at
Des PLANES, Ill.
The Home was actually
started in 1915 - in Chicago
- with the founding of a new
organization then known as
"Association for The Main
tenance of Croatian Orphans
in America"
However, the Home as we
know it today did not receive
it's first children until 1927,
thus making this year the
31st Anniversary of that hu-
manitarian episode in the his
tory of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union. 81
The largest number of
youngsters resident in the
Home was in 1887 and 1888,
when the total reached IA
boys and girls.
From that time, those de-
pression-ridden days in the
history of America and Can
ada the number of children
at the Home has been drop
ping steadily.
Today there are about 30
youngsters under the care of
the Home.
