Charming and beautiful George-Ellen Ferguson performed several j solos. The familiar "Waltz Song’" ! i from Gounod's “Faust’’ gave Miss Ferguson a chance to exhibit the great range and flexibility of her 1 coloratura soprano voice. In an extremely different vein was Clara Edwards' “Into the Night” which was
beautifully done. “Caro Nome” from
the famous opera “Rigoletto” was ! again an opportunity for the dis-playal of her colorful voice.
In ‘Gypsy Serenade” by Valdez, Lisa Minghetti’s violin solo was an example of excellent technique and musical feeling. In this composition Miss Minghetti was accompanied by the ensemble.
In an arrangement for piano and the ensemble, Roxanne Byers was the soloist in Debussy's popular ‘Claire de Lune.” and Catherine Jackson performed a harp solo,

Capt. Allan Hancock was missed in his usual place as cellist, but was substituted for by a student from the School of Music.
All the soloists of the ensemble have attained honors in their own right. Miss Ferguson is well known as a Hollywood singing star, and has sung in numerous motion pictures.
Miss Jackson, a graduate of Oberlin College of Music In Ohio, Is considered in Los Angeles music circles as one of the best concert harpists of southern California.
Miss Minghetti, the Vienna-born violin soloist, has toured with the great singers Richard Tauber and the late John McCormack. She has also played with many famous orchestras of pre-war Europe.
Founded by Captain Hancock, president of the board of t.-ustees and director of the Hancock Foundation. the ensemble gave approximately 150 concerts to service camps, hospitals, and educational groups during the war. Previously the music group had toured from northern California to the Andes.

“These abysses must be bridged if our civilization is to survive. Any bridge of reconciliation which is not a spiritual one will be as evanescent as a dream. Contracts, treaties, and agreements to L“ lasting must be grounded in spiritual reality.”
"The credulity of our faith in science,” he stated, “is indicated by the very common belief that all that is needed for peace and prosperity is some sort of social organization, universal education, full employment, heightened standards of living.”
“These are important, even necessary. to the creation of the new world, but alone they are impotent unless they are based on a new attitude of good will, unselfishness, and desire for justice toward all men.
College offers flying lessons
Students interested in learning to fly as part of their college curricula are asked to watch the Daily Trojan
for announcements regarding a future meeting. According to Ernest W. Tiegs, dean of University College, plans are being made for the formation of a flying club, which will trek to Santa Maria for flying lessons every Saturday.
The flying lessions are being offered as a part of the university curricula and although it has not been definitely arranged, unit credit will be given for such a course in the newly founded College of Aeronautics.
The formation of such a club would alleviate somewhat the problem of transportation to and from Santa Maria, and would perhaps also enable a lowering of the cost of flying time, which as yet has not been decided upon.
For those who are interested, there will be provisions made at Santa Maria for staying overnight on Friday or Saturday in the way of dormitories which will be adequate housing for many of those unable to make the trip up and back in one day.
In addition to actual flying hours the student will be given some instruction in ground courses, although this instruction will by no means be complete courses. It is especially important to those interested in the flying lessons as a means to obtaining a civilian pilot’s license that the instruction given on ground course subjects will be adequate for passing the pilot license test.
A great interest has already been shown by students as approximately thirty Trojans appeared in Dean Tiegs’ office at the initial meeting held for the purpose of discussing the possibilites of such a program.

Leading educators accept the fact that such organizations have a definite place in colleges and universities. We have only been formed here at SC for two semesters, but we are hitting our stride now, and
this term will see us playing a large part in campus activities,” Gibbs said.
Activities T>emg panned for the coming term were outlined by Skip Premo, president of the YM. "We’ll sponsor an all-U dig in cooperation with the YW and we’ll have other stag parties and picnics. The exchange dinners such as we have had in the past with the YWCA will also be continued,” he said.
Premo declared, “We're trying to make school a little more than just a plaoe of ‘book larnin’ ’ and we are urging everyone to participate with us in our social functions and development of fellowship and good will.

Council awaits Big Bear meeting
An important meeting of the executive committee of the Religious council will be held today at 12:30 p.m. in the Religious council offices. The committee at this time will continue planning for the previously publicized Big Bear conference of the council to be held at that mountain resort. Council members and a limited number of students who have made application for membership before the deadline set at tomorrow will attend.	(
The conference, starting Saturday and continuing until Sunday evening, will plan for the activities of the council through the fall and winter terms, will enjoy religious services, and will spare time from its consideration of business matters to indulge in winter sports.
The Religious council, established on this
campus as an agency for the promotion of religious interest on the part of SC students, has long played a major role in the spiritual and social relationships of its members. It conducts such features as Religious Emphasis week, book interpretations, and sponsors assembly programs.
Its organization, as explained by Don Gibbs, president, includes representative members of other religious affiliations and an equal number of independent members. •
Interested students should contact Gibbs or Mr. J. Randolph Sasnett in the Religious council offices, third floor, Student Union building. Applicants for membership, who have made application before tomorrow’s deadline for doing so, will be allowed to accompany the conference if there are suffi-cient accommodations for them.
