Metric System Spreads

ONE Of the ironies Of current history
y is that while English is becoming, so
to speak, the lingua-franca of the
world British and American system
Of measurement appear to be giving way
way gradually to the spread of the
metric system.
The National Geographic Society
notes that meters, liters, and kilograms
have come into use in India, Japan, and
Korea in the last two years while
measurement in yards, quarts, and
pounds has narrowed practically to
Britain and the United States with their
associates and dependencies. Even the
new president of the American Associ-
alton for the Advancement of Science,
DIR. Chauncey D. Leake, advocates adop-
ton of the metric system in the United
States.

Charles Williams doubled to

if Charles had a good day all
around. His fielding was excel
lent and he was highly praised
by his coach Steve Carson after
the game.
Williams normally plays left
field but last year he filled in
at third base and feels that his
hitting suffered. He is back in
the outfield this year and hopes
to return to the neighborhood of

up at Phoenix Union in 1858.

Richard Haywood is a fresh
man at Phoenix College and is
active in three sports. He played
halfback for the Bruins when
they won the Potato Bowl Cham
pionship. Played seventh man
when the Bruins won the Juco
Region One Championship. When
it comes to track, he is what we
should say Incompatible.
Wednesday Phoenix College

wood won two events including
both the high and low hurdles,
captured second place in the cen
tury dash and grabbed third
place honors in the broad jump.
He is a graduate of Casa
Grande High School where he al
so lettered in thre sports. Hay
wood has the potentiality of being
a good quarter miller as he proved
it Wednesday when he partici-
pated in the mile relay. He won
his lap although he was behind
at the start by some 80 yards.
On campus he is sometimes
quiet, sometimes rowdy and
sometimes very inconsiderate of
his friends. He has a secret ad-
mirer in his long time friend
FELTON, Brown. FELTON, seems to
be Haywood's spark plug. He al
ways brags on Haywood and with
this he seems to go far.

Last evenings 78-degree tenn

mode the audience and players
and, most important, the fiddle

summer session orchestral con-
cert.
The fact that the program
was thoroughly enjoyable in
spite Of the elements does much
credit to the university and It's
industrious summer students
and the not inconsiderable
talents Of Conductor Raymond
Montoni.
Mr.. Montoni has q fine sense
of musical style. His tempt and
phrasing throughout the eve
ming were exemplary. He also
has a keen ear for ensemble.
Inner voice movements were
beautifully etched in the hardy
Frescobaldi Kinder toccata
and the Bach, E major Violin
Concerto, ably soloed by Paul
Robey. II there was somewhat
too prominent a trumpet sound
in the introduction to Haydn's
Symphony No. 104, it shoult.
probably be blamed on the too
small hall.
Another valuable asset In
Mr.. Montoni's conductorial
makeup is his stick technique,
which is fluent. unmannered
and exceptionally articulate.
Discretion led Mr.. Montoni
to forego the Gustav Hoist "St.
Paul's Suite" a touchy string
piece in any weather, so the
program concluded with q lively
reading Of Rossini's "L'Italiana
in Ageri" overture.

Arnatt; Three Motets. Difksen.
The all-musical service at
the Washington Cathedral yes
terday afternoon. with Asso-
ciate Choirmaster Richard
Dirksen directing the Choir OF
Men, was unusual in that vir-
tually all the music presented,
including the prelude and post
lude, was written by contempo-
raries.
From the strictly musical
viewpoint. the contrast between
the two sets Of motets, one by
Mr.. Dirksen and the other by
Ronald Arnatt, was extremely
interesting.
Mr.. Arnatt, presently choir
master at the st. Louis Ca
thedral, will be remembered
for his many years Of activity
on the local scene and for his
talent as a composer of church
music. The three motetS so
eloQuently presented by the
choir reveal him in rather Sc
we're and pure style.
The composer makes con-
Scious and very skillful use of
archaisms, actually utilizing a
Landini cadence in his setting
Of the 20 Lux beata trinitas"
and a hocket-like effect in the
"Tantum Ergo" But despite
the severity Of the idiom. the
music is moving and fresh
sounding.
Mr.. Dirksen's motets are more
Immediately appealing and rely
on q somewhat more familiar
harmonic palette. The word
setting is sensitive and the
balance of choral masses beau
tifully worked out. An exotic
element is his free use of drama
when the text calls for it. Never
theless. I had the impression
that the Arnatt works would
wear better.
Worthy Of at least passing
mention was Samuel Barber's
strong set Of variations on the
old American shape-note hymn
tune, "Wondrous Love-" q fine
new work which Mr.. Dirksen
used as prelude.
BY and large, the mems choir
sang with great sensitivity, al
though there was some drag
ging in the Besly anthem.
