Present Concert In | Elizabeth Hall j Acclaimed as one of the greates t pianist of our time, Nikita Maga- loff, who will be heard in a Civic Music concert on Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. in Elizabeth Hall, has returned to this country for an extensive tour after electrifying concert appearances in Central and South America and the European continent. Word has been steadily coming from Europe of his sensational successes there. Seldom has the heralded arrival of a visiting European artist caused such a stir as that which attended Magaloi'f's coming to this country on the Queen Elizabeth in 1947. At his most recent concert in this country given in Carnegie Hall on January 16, 1949, Olin Downcs, the noted music critic of the New York Times, summed up the prevailing enthusiasm thus: "An artist of exceptionally high purpose and accomplishment has come among us. His playing sang and soared from the depths to the , heights, in real, flaming, romantic ! manner." A citizen of the world in-the vir- i tuoso tradition, Magalol'f was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, continu- | ed his musical studies in Paris, j made his fabulous debut as a soloist in London, and has appeared in concert and with Hie major symphony orchestras in nearly every capital of Europe. London, Paris, Brussels. Vinenna, Budapest, Geneva, Zurich Lisbon, Milan, Rome, Dublin and Glasgow are a few of • the cities which have marveled at his musicality and thrilled to this groat interpreter. Magaloff's home address is Petit Elysee, Celigny, Switzerland. When in America he spends as much of his limited time-as possible at the California home of his father-in- law, the world famous violinist, Joseph Szigeti. Admission to the concert in Elizabeth Hall is by membership. In one of the most sparkling of all the home tits this season, the Stetson Hi-Hatters upset favored Bowling Green Univers'ty 71-67 in a chilly Airport Arena last Wednesday ni^ht.

William Brougher Presents Fourth Foram Lecture The chief sour note in my jubilee of joy on returning to my native land is to find a lot of Ameri- sans, unfortunately many of them young, who do not appreciate their country and do not know what to do with the great principles it makes possible in 'Freedom, Christianity and Democracy' ". Realization of the dangers from bitter experience of the implications in alive national trend, Brigadier General William E. Brougher, USA-Rt., said Monday afternoon in the fourth Stelson lecture in Elizabeth Hall Auditorium, inspired him to undertake a lecture tour "in order to put before the American people some of the things my departed comrades would want me to say." The general was introduced bj Lt. Colonel Ike P. Bonifay, com> mandant of the Stetson ROTC. The title of his speech was "The Sword of the Spirit." Baseball was used as an example by the general of Democracy at work. In that game, each player stands or fall according to his batting and fielding effort. When a player strikes out, he takes his place on the bench. He cannot write his congressman and ask for an extra chance at the expense of his teammates. He must succeed himself. "We would not want to see base ball defiled by favoritism, such as base hits counted for fouls or muf- ird balls chalked up as putouts, by writing to our congressman about it", the General said. 'Why should we not demand the same fairness in our political and public affairs? What we would not permit in base ball, we seem to wink at in public pffaii's. Democracy is being diluted by people who want the benefits of rewards without working for them."'
