“Music in the Afternoon,” Trovet-sponsored concert tomorrow, continues a series begun last winter to present on campus talented young artists who show promise in various fields of music.
Featured on tomorrow’s program at 3:15 in Bowne halt
are Lloyd Stone, lyric tenor an1! student in the School of Music; Bette Hill, contralto from the University of Texas; and Edwina Pierse, violinist who appeared in the movie, “They Shall Have Music,” with Jascha Heifetz.
The Trovets have made it a policy to select only student talent at the university and guest artists from other schools for afternoon concerts. These programs, according to Will Renda, director of the series, offer artists an opportunity to appear formally under the same conditions they wUl meet professionally.
A 16-year-od pianist, Lillian Magidow, who played at the last presentation of ‘Music in tha Afternoon,” is already well on tha way to success. She will appear this month at the Hollywood Bowl on a program with Leopold Stow-kowski, playing Chopin’s Second Concerto.
Miss Magidow first gained notice as winner of the KFI young artists contest. She is a native of Los ■ Angeles.

Post Session Students Asked For N ews Items
Post session students with an ear and a flair for gossip are encouraged by the Summer News to convert their activities along this line to some purpose.
AU “August Trojans” are asked to bring news items of general interest to the Summer News office, fourth floor Student Union, in order to facilitate the task of publication during the "Dog Days.”
Items of information, tips on news stories, and feature stories about interesting happenings or personalities are especially desired. The paper, however, reserves the right to handle with kid gloves such things as announcements of a game of 52-pick-up by the local card clubs It is the Summer News’ policy to print news pertaining to social and professional societies, and members of those groups who wish to announce meetings should write details on a sheet of paper and leave this information in the newspaper's offices.
What the News wants is newj^ red hot off the griddle. It’s tha opportunity you’ve been waiting for to see your over-a-cup-oL* ooffee topics in print.	^
