Committee Maps Plans for Group Dr. Alonzo F. Myers, chairman of the higher education department of New York university school of education, is chairman of a special commission to study and prepare plans for an international educa- tion organization. Three different speed-up plans for students who will enter the armed forces have been made avail- able at the University of Omaha. Strauss’ “Cavalier Of The Rose” To Be Today’s Opera Richard Strauss’ “Der Rosen- kavalier” (“The Cavalier of the Rose”) will be broadcast this afternoon at one o’clock by WTAW. A Blue Network pro- gram sponsored by the Texas Company, the performance will be brought direct from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House. “Der Rosenkavalier” was com- posed in 1911, and although Rich- ard Strauss called it a “comedy in music,” its story, like the plots of Strauss’ other operas, can scarce- ly be considered elevating. Laid in Vienna in the eighteenth cen- tury, the story is concerned with the thwarting of the libertine Baron Ochs von Lerchenau. The opera gets its name from the old custom of a lover’s making known his suit by appointing someone to bear to the lady of his choice a silver rose, the bearer of the favor becoming known as the “cavalier of the rose”. In the complicated plot, the im- poverished Baron wishes to marry the heiress Sophie, and is prevailed upon to appoint one Octavian, a stranger to him, as the rose bear- er. But Sophie takes a dislike to the Baron, and she and Octavian fall in love. When the Baron tries to force his attentions upon her, Octavian wounds him in the arm. The rest of the opera is devoted to Octavian’s plans for exposing the Baron as a libertine, so that Octavian can win the consent of Sophie’s father, and marry the girl himself, thus ending everything very happily. One bit of music from the opera, the “Rosenkavalier Waltzes,” is familiar to concert audiences, and the score as a whole is familiar and pleasing. Today’s cast will in- clude Emanuel List, Jarmila Novot- na, Nadine Conner, and Thelma Votipka. Hillel to Hear Mayo Speak in Lounge of Sbisa Sunday, 7 PM Librarian’s Talk Will Be Straight’s “Make Thhathe Last War” Sun weni^g at 7 o’clock Df. T. F. i/xiiyu speak on- Hre book “Make This the, Last War”, writ- ten by Michael Straight according to an announcement made by Har- old Borofosky, president of the Hillel Club. The meeting will be held in the Lounge room of Sbisa Hall and everyone, members or not, are invited to be present at this open meeting in the Lounge room. All of those interested in this subject should find it extreme- ly interesting.' The author of the book that Dr. Mayo will discuss is Michael Straight, now an aviation cadet in the U. S. Army Air Corps, who has travelled through all the coun- tries at war and speaks with a knowledge derived from first hand observation. His plea is for a new economic world which will eliminate the dangers of further wars. Previous to his joining the Air Corps, Michael Straight was an assistant to the National Pow- er policy Committee as one of President Roosevelt’s Economic Advisors. This book, however, is a young man’s book full of militancy back- ed by knowledge and wisdom of his own experience. It is some- what difficult reading, but Dr. Mayo’s analysis and interpretation will help make clear Straight’s vivid and interesting blue prints of the world of tomorrow. Although the talk will be at 7 o’clock, the regular part of the meeting will begin promptly at 6:30. At this time before Dr. Mayo’s speech a very important business meeting will be held and all members are requested to be present. Plans will be discussed and made for a coming dance to be given by the Hillel club. Every- one is urged to stay and hear the talk on Michael Straight’s book, “Make This the Last War! Devotional Service In Episcopal Chapel In Lent Observance Special services at St. Thomas Episcopal Church start Wednes- day, Feb. 23 in observance of Ash Wednesday and Lent. Lenten de- votional services will be held each Wednesday evening at 7:15 in the Chapel and will consist of Litany and prayers followed by instruc- tion. Reverend J. Hugh R. Farrell will present some of the history of the early Protestant Episcopal church. Those interested in being presented for Confirmation as well as visitors are urged to attend the services Rev. Farrell stated. Garbage Cans Not Used By Residents As City Requested In accordance with garbage regu- lations for the city of College Station a circular letter was sent to citizens with their utility state- ment relative to garbage collec- tions. Lloyd D. Smith, business manager asserted that many of the residents are cooperating in this drive, but some were still lacking garbage cans and using boxes, barrels etc. which one man cannot lift, besides being very clumsy and unsanitary, causing de- lay and trouble to the collectors. For several months garbage cans of standard style could not be pur- chased, however Parker-Austin Hardware in Bryan stocks these cans. Since now that the cans can be purchased, Smith urges every- one who does not have one already to get one as soon as possible. Smith also stated that after March 1, 1944 the city collectors will be unable to handle the resi- dents garbage unless a garbage can is provided. These cans must be placed outside and not in gar- ages, storerooms, etc. If dogs trouble the metal cans by over- turning them, Smith suggested that steel pipes or poles be driven into the ground through slip handles so that they extend about 6 inches above the can. Everyone is urged to help cooperate with the city on the above points. Production Is Modern In Costume And Drama Comedy to Be Given in English Instead Of Original German as First Writen Snug entirely in English the Town Hall presentation of “The Bat” (Die Fledermaus) by the Philadelphia Opera Company Monday evening on the stage of Guion Hall prom- ises to be one of the outstanding attractions of the season.

Some months back the city em- ployed this same contractor to pump out septic tanks within the city limits of College Station. A large percent of the residents have already taken advantage of hav- ing this work done. The job is nearing completion. If any resi- dents would like to avail them- selves of this opportunity while the contractor is here please call the city office and place your res- pective order. The charge for this service is $10.00. The city is re- ceiving no revenue as this is the price the contractor charges the city. With shortage of labor and sanitary methods this offer seems to be an excellent opportunity. People who put on airs have no reason to be put out when others put them off. been retitled “The Bat” upon its translation into English, is one of the outstanding lighter works of Johann Strauss. It achieved world-wide fame in operatice cir- cles over a period of many years, having been sung in both hem- ispheres in the original German and, translated into Italian and French for consumption in Latin speaking areas. Recently an Eng- lish version of the opera was stag- ed on Broadway under the name of Rosalinda, as a musical com- edy. This New York presentation of the Strauss score in English was scheduled for only a few weeks engagement, but to the public de- mands made on it, the comedy ran for over a year. In bringing this opera to., the Town Tiall sta< - p.m.‘; gctloge, 'die Philadelphia Opc^iT company has modernized the production, mak- ing good dramatics and modern costuming of equal importance with good music and good singing. The fact that this lovely old opera has been translated into modern, un- derstandable English will afford its patrons in College Station and vicinity an opportunity to enjoy the clever amusing story that is carried on with the inimitable and incomparable beauty of the charm- ing Strauss music. Tickets for the opera are on sale at the Student Activities of- fice in Room Three of the Admin- istration Building. General ad- mission to the auditorium is $1.00. Reserved seats are $2.00. The Student Activities office phone number is 4-5324. Tickets will be on sale, also, at the box office of Guion Hall im- mediately prior to the curtain opening, it was announced, for the convenience of those who did not secure their tickets in advance.

Willard Chevalier, editor of Business Week and consultant in engineering educa- tion of the Texas A. & M. Col- lege, told the high school students of Texas Thursday on the Jobs Ahead program over the Texas Quality Network. “Texas does not lack for material resources,” he said. “The incal- culable wealth of her soil will re- main, always, the bulwark of her economic strength. But to that natural wealth, science, now has added enormously, and the train- ed young Texan of tomorrow will be able to multiply many fold the age-old wealth that resides in the soil handed down to him by his fathers.” Through science and technology we are finding new uses for min- eral and agricultural products, it was pointed out. And through them manpower contrives to multi- ply the resources left by nature and put them to cemmercial use. The knowledge and skill acquired by the coming generation of Tex- ans will make the resources and industries stimulated by war de- mands available for peacetime uses. With her vast resources, in- cluding the ability and intelli- gence of her people, “Texas is well fixed to have a balanced economy,” Col. Chevalier said. “These young Texans, who will write the next chapter in the story of their beloved state now are preparing for their task,” he said. “Some of them are being tested in battle on far-off fighting fronts . . . Others are in the high schools, preparing themselves for the further training that will fit them to take their parts in the job to come. The future of Texas will depend on how clearly they can see that job, on how wisely they approach it, on how devoted- ly they work at it.” Col. Chevalier was introduced to the high school radio audience by Gibb Gilchrist, dean of the Texas A. & M. School of Engineer- ing. Paying tribute to the service Col. Chevalier had rendered the College in the past several years, Dean Gilchrist pointed out that he spends a week on the campus each year, “during which time he con- sults with students, lectures to the College, confers with staff mem- bers, and brings to the College a wealth of experience and the wis- dom of years as an engineer.” Jobs Ahead is the general sub- ject for 27 radio broadcasts of the current series of the Texas School of the Air, carried in cooperation with the State Department of Edu- cation. This broadcast was the 18th. The first 11 programs were spon- sored by the Texas A. & M. School of Agriculture, while the last 16 programs are sponsored by the School of Engineering. They are heard each Thursday at 11:15 a. m. over the Texas Quality Net- work. The program for Feb. 24 will present a discussion of the ship- building industry of Texas, and the speaker will be Col. Ike Ash- burn, director of personnel and public relations of the Houston Shipbuilding Corporation, and former executive assistant to the president of the Texas A. & M. College. 4

Strauss’ “Cavalier Of The Rose” To Be Today’s Opera
Richard Strauss’ “Der Rosen- kavalier” (“The Cavalier of the Rose”) will be broadcast this afternoon at one o’clock by WTAW. A Blue Network program sponsored by the Texas Company, the performance will be brought direct from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House.
“Der Rosenkavalier” was composed in 1911, and although Richard Strauss called it a “comedy in music,” its story, like the plots of Strauss’ other operas, can scarcely be considered elevating. Laid in Vienna in the eighteenth century, the story is concerned with the thwarting of the libertine Baron Ochs von Lerchenau. The opera gets its name from the old custom of a lover’s making known his suit by appointing someone to bear to the lady of his choice a silver rose, the bearer of the favor becoming known as the “cavalier of the rose”.
In the complicated plot, the impoverished Baron wishes to marry the heiress Sophie, and is prevailed upon to appoint one Octavian, a stranger to him, as the rose bearer. But Sophie takes a dislike to the Baron, and she and Octavian fall in love. When the Baron tries to force his attentions upon her, Octavian wounds him in the arm. The rest of the opera is devoted to Octavian’s plans for exposing the Baron as a libertine, so that Octavian can win the consent of Sophie’s father, and marry the girl himself, thus ending everything very happily.
One bit of music from the opera, the “Rosenkavalier Waltzes,” is familiar to concert audiences, and the score as a whole is familiar and pleasing. Today’s cast will include Emanuel List, Jarmila Novotna, Nadine Conner, and Thelma Votipka.

If any residents would like to avail themselves of this opportunity while the contractor is here please call the city office and place your respective order. The charge for this service is $10.00. The city is receiving no revenue as this is the price the contractor charges the city. With shortage of labor and sanitary methods this offer seems to be an excellent opportunity.

“Young Texans Will Determine Place Of Texas InPostwarWorld, ’’Chevalier Says OverWTA W
The place of Texas in the postwar world will be determined by the resources of the State and what the present young Texans do with them, Col. Willard Chevalier, editor of Business Week and consultant in engineering education of the Texas A. & M. College, told the high school students of Texas Thursday on the Jobs Ahead program over the Texas Quality Network.
“Texas does not lack for material resources,” he said. “The incalculable wealth of her soil will remain, always, the bulwark of her economic strength. But to that natural wealth, science, now has added enormously, and the trained young Texan of tomorrow will be able to multiply many fold the age-old wealth that resides in the soil handed down to him by his fathers.”
Through science and technology we are finding new uses for mineral and agricultural products, it was pointed out. And through them manpower contrives to multiply the resources left by nature and put them to cemmercial use. The knowledge and skill acquired
by the coming generation of Texans will make the resources and industries stimulated by war demands available for peacetime uses.
With her vast resources, including the ability and intelligence of her people, “Texas is well fixed to have a balanced economy,” Col. Chevalier said.
“These young Texans, who will write the next chapter in the story of their beloved state now are preparing for their task,” he said. “Some of them are being tested in battle on far-off fighting fronts . . . Others are in the high schools, preparing themselves for the further training that will fit them to take their parts in the job to come. The future of Texas will depend on how clearly they can see that job, on how wisely they approach it, on how devotedly they work at it.”
Col. Chevalier was introduced to the high school radio audience by Gibb Gilchrist, dean of the Texas A. & M. School of Engineering. Paying tribute to the service Col. Chevalier had rendered the College in the past several years,
Dean Gilchrist pointed out that he spends a week on the campus each year, “during which time he consults with students, lectures to the College, confers with staff members, and brings to the College a wealth of experience and the wisdom of years as an engineer.”
Jobs Ahead is the general subject for 27 radio broadcasts of the current series of the Texas School of the Air, carried in cooperation with the State Department of Education. This broadcast was the 18th. The first 11 programs were sponsored by the Texas A. & M. School of Agriculture, while the last 16 programs are sponsored by the School of Engineering. They are heard each Thursday at 11:15 a. m. over the Texas Quality Network.
The program for Feb. 24 will present a discussion of the shipbuilding industry of Texas, and the speaker will be Col. Ike Ash- burn, director of personnel and public relations of the Houston Shipbuilding Corporation, and former executive assistant to the president of the Texas A. & M. College.
