Eustis Commuter Offers To Build Pool Using Stetson Student Labor Suzanne Bloch To Play Lute In Fine Arts Concert SUZANNE BLOCH Suzanne Bloch, lutenist,' singer to the lute, and player of virginals and recorders, will be presented in a concert of music from Shakespeare's time by the Fine Arts Committee. The performance will be at 8:00 p.m. Friday, March 4, in Elizabeth Hall Auditorium. Miss Bloch will also give a lecture demonstration of her instruments at 10:00 Friday morning in the Stetson Room. For many years Miss Bloch, who has trained lutenists in the East, was the principal concert performer on the American continent at this instrument. She is also a brilliant player on the early keyboard instrument, the virginals, and is considered one of the outstanding exponents of the best recorder playing. Daughter of the late- famous composer, Ernest Bloch, Suzanne's first training was as a pianist. As a composer she won, at 19, first prize in a Paris contest for women composers; in recent years she has given orchestral performances in New York with Leonard Bernstein and Leon Barzin. At one of her New York recitals she included some lute-songs of her own, set to verses from "Alice in Wonderland." She became interested in lute music and other early music literature while studying composition abroad, and on her return to the United States began a solo career which now takes her on annual coast-to-coast tours, into Canada, and abroad. Both her performances on the Stetson campus are open to the public, and no admission will be charged. Track Announcement AH boys interesed in track please contact Coach Don Harbin as soon as possible. Practice is at 4:00 each Tuesday and Friday afternoon at the track. Everett Huskey, Stetson student, builder, and real estate broker, announced a plan for building a pool on the Stetson campus at a secret session of campus leaders Thursday night, February 18. ,.:.,-; Singers Needed at First Methodist First Methodist Church has announced that it is looking for soloists in all voice ranges. The positions as soloists and. section leaders are salaried and offer good experience. The Ministry of Music at First Methodist has just been given a seven-room music studio by the church which will serve as headquarters for all music activities. It will also house a bridal room, office, air-conditioned rehearsal room, kitchen and music library. Anyone interested in one of the solo positions should apply to Box 431; it is not necessary to be a music major. Students interested in singing in the choir are welcome at the nxt rehearsal on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Stetson Art Prof Gets Patron's Prize For "Dunes" Professor Fred Messersmith, art department head at Stetson University, has been awarded the Patron's Prize in the Sixth Annual Exhibition of the National Society of Painters in Casein. Messer- smith's painting, entitled "Dunes," was executed on rice-paper and is on view at the National Arts Club in New York City. The Barzansky Galleries received the award in his absence at a reception Sunday. Another of his works is on display this month in New York at the National Academy Galleries which is showing the Audubon Society Exhibition.. Mr. Messersmith was elected to membership in the American Water-color Society in 1958. This organization is in its 94th year and is made up of the cream of water- colorists in America. Yesterday he served as judge for the Pinellas County Fair art show in Largo, Florida. Since he assumed the position as head of the Art Department at Stetson in September, Messersmith • has juried in Tampa, Orlando and Sarasota. In May, he will judge the Member's Show at the Joe and Emily Lowe Gallery in Miami. NEXT WEEK! The Pool Plans The meeting was announced at the end of the ODK-Mortar Board leadership banquet by Reynolds Allen, who asked that all the students present remain in the Union afterward. Mr. Huskey was introduced tc« the group by Acting (now officially elected) SGA President Duane Doddington, who explained that the plan had first been presented, to President Edmunds and student government officials. Basically the plan is to use money previously earmarked for the pool to buy materials and pay for supervisory labor, calling on the students to furnish unskilled and some skilled labor. In this- way, Huskey hopes to have the pool and the surrounding patio finished by the time he graduates in June. PLANS COMING Eventually the pool, to be constructed on the north side of the athletic field, will be joined by a field house, dressing rooms and a covering which will permit year- round swimming. The shape and plans are still not final, pending inspection of the site by the State Health Department and the builder's estimate of construction costs. It is hoped that a diving well can be built into an L-shape if there is sufficient money. Plans will be made public in about a week, and construction is expected to start soon. According to Huskey, labor needs will be irregular and the work schedule will be organized and run by the students, probably through the SGA Cabinet. Since regular labor costs would be at least $1 to to $1.50 per hour, student labor is expected to account for the majority of actual pool cost. Promising to get materials at cost "and maybe a discount off of that," Huskey told the students, "I'm ready, willing, and able to do my part. The rest is up to you." After a few questions, the students present agreed with Reynolds Allen that they didn't "see- how we can afford to pass this up"' and pledged their efforts and those' of their organizations in the work,. Scattered reports from fraternity presidents and others indicate that a sufficient labor force will be available. j When President Edmunds had been informed of the students' action, he presented the proposal to. the trustees Friday, at which time they released approximately $17,000 on deposit in the Barnett Bank. Formal announcement of the plan was made at Saturday's alumni convocation.
