Since this is the only personal solici tat ion conducted during the year, except for the YMCA drive in the spring, it is vital ly im-portant that each student contribute a proportionately larger amount than if each agency had its own drive. The goal for this year has been set for $2750, and in order to reach th is goal ma ny of contributions orr $5 a nd $10 (and more) are needed.

Asi/omflr--the Chonee of fI Lifetiml Bold-face type, italics, superla.

tives, and exclamation marks are the best media for a description of Asilomar.

Strikingly outstanding in the college reminiscences of those who have attended, Asilomar is the annual student·faculty con-ference sponsored by the college YMCA's and YWCA's throughout the Pacific Southwest.

During the six days from De-cember 26 till January 1 about four hundred students meet to exchange ideas , form friendships, hear renowned speakers, and participate in a general experi· ence of worship and fellowship.

The Perfect Site The conference is so named

because it takes place in the YMCA-ownedgrounds cal l ed Asilomar, located one mile from Pacific Grove on California's beautiful Monterey Bay. In the surroundings of sand shores al· ternating with impressive rock formations, overtopped by sand dunes and cypress trees, the rus· tic lodge, chapel, d ining hall , a nd dormitories constitute an im-pressive and attractive scene.

"Struggle for Power: Creative or Destructive Alternatives for Action" is the timely theme of this year's conference. Student delegates wil1 have an oppor· tunity to examine the areas of tension in life today created by the s truggle for power, the pos· sible remedies available for a resolution of these conflcts, and the part played by the Christian Faith.

' VOl'k and P luy Through the morning plat-

form talks (w hieh will be de· livered by Dr. Prentiss Pember· ton of Andover Newton Theo· logical School) and the various seminars, the student represen-tative gains new insights into current world questions. Each may choose his preferred semi·

nar, the subjects of which range from "Roots of World Conflict," and "Progapanda Analysis" to "Unions and Management" and "Courtship and Marriage"; there are altogether twelve from which to select.

Every evening brings the well· remembered recreation program and that hour or two for the inevitable bull sessions in the dorms or ou t on the dunes, where one can virtually read a book by moonlight.

Time t o T hink Having talked to many who

have attended the event last year o'r the year before, I am convinced that the opportunities for worship and reflection are unlimited at Asilomar. The can-dle-light service on New Year's Eve, the morning chapel pro· gram, and the "quiet hour," when one just relaxes out on the dunes and "thinks things over," have provided many a youth with a never to be forgotten ex· perience of a nature quite in· des c rib a b I e in commonplace terms.

All in all, th is conference is on~ of the finest investments a Tech student can make during his college experience. With the tota l cost al only $31.50, a ticket for Asilomar will give returns to the delegate which can' t be marked down in dollars and cents.

Opera Review in te l'd ispersed war cries of the company last season. By George Abell

The San Francisco Opera Com-pany opened its annual two·week season in Los Angeles a week ago Tuesday evening at Shrine Auditorium with a performance of Umberto Giordano's rarely heard Andrea Chernel'. The re-vival of this work (the last per-formance in this city was ,twelve years ago) was a welcome treat to opera·goers.

And.'ea Che nier The setting for the drama is

Paris at the time of the Fl:ench Revolution. The story is based on the love affair between An· drea Chenier, a young poet and French patriot and Madeleine, the beautiful daughter of a weal· thy countess.

When, in the course of events, Chenier is captured by the Revo· lutionists and sentenced to 'the Guillotine, Madeleine manages to have her own name placed on the execution list, so that she might jOin her lover in death.

Plot Dramatic Despite its typical triteness,

the plot is a dramatic one, and the 'music suits it welL As in most post-Verdi operas the role of the orchestra here with reo specL to the s ingers is of con· siderable importance, although in this respect Giordano does not go so far as Wagner in his music dramas; here the yoice is sti ll the dominant ryode of expres-sion.

For all its dramatic a tmosphere the work abounds with lyrical melodic passages. An introduc·. tion to "Marseilla ise" and other

revolution a lso add to the effec-tiveness.

Excellent P eliormance Th is opening night perform·

ance of the San Francisco Opera Company was a most excellent one, and was full of pleasant sur· prises. T he new young tenor, Mario del Manaco, as Chenier, showed himself to have rich, dramatic voice with a magnifi"· cent high register. He is beyond quest ion one 0 fthe finest Italian tenors on the operatic stage to· day.

The juicy baritone' ro le of the revolutionist, Gerard, was taken by Robert Weede, hitherto heard only in relatively minor roles. His success was well applauded by the audience, particularly aft-er his outstanding rendition of Gerard's monologue .in the Tri-bunal Chamber.

Lucia Albanese, who played Madeleine, is not the vocalist she was in years back, but neverthe· less proved adequate for the role. The cast also included the new Chinese baritone, Yi·Kwei Sze. The orchestra, conducted by Fausto Cleva, was in top shape.

Tristan und Isoltle Among the Wagner Music Dra·

mas, Tristan und Isolde, has long been a perennial favorite. This tradition is 'certainly kept in force by performances such as the one rendered the work by the San Francisco Opera C.om-pany last Thursday evening

The magnificance of Thurs-day's performance of Tristan has been overshadowed in Los Ange-les recently only by the fabu-lously great one by the same

Flag:stad Tlu'illillg The incredible voice of the

Norwegian soprano, K ir s ten F lagstad, after it had had an op' portunity to warm up in the first scenes, was as fine as ever.

Doubtless, Flagslad's singing is not quite so pure and lyrical as it was in the thirties, but if her voice has grown heavier as it has matured, it has also grown richer and more vibrant. She sings with unbelievable ease and control, -and with amazing vol· ume.

Flagstad's Isolde is, perhaps, the greatest the world . will ever hea r; certainly it is an unforget-able thrill.

Ramon Vi nay is reported to be on his way up. Be that as it may, he has not yet reached the pOint where he can do full jus· tice to the roll of Tristan. His rendi tion Thursday was a far cry from those of the early Melchior, 01' of Svanholm. Nevertheless; he did not do poorly, and his inade· quacy did not detract appreciably from the performance.

Bjocl'ling l\"lakes L.A. Debut The baritone, Siguard Bjoer-

ling (no relation to Jussi) mak-ing his Los Angeles debut in the role of Kurvenal, displayed an excellent voice, and is definite ly of first caliber. Herta Glaz, al-ready familial' in the part of Bl'angaena, was qute adequate. Dezzo Ernster , as K ing Mark, proved too -rumbly and wobbly a bass for this listener's taste.

Jonel Perlea, a lso in his local debut , conducted a first rate or· chestra in an admirable fashion

Parsifal Last Sunday afternoon; be-

tween the hours of one and six p.m. The San Francisco Opera Company performed for the first time in Los Angeles in about twenty-five years the last, and to mal!Y the greatest opera of Richarll' Wagner.

Parsifal, a sacred festival mu-sic-drama in three acts, deals with one of tile legends of the Holy Grail. 'The spear that pierced the side of Christ, while he was on the cross, and the Grail , the cup that caught the blood were entrusted to the care of an ordel' of holy knights at tl;1e Temple of Montsalvat, in Spain. The spear, according to the legend, had fallen into the hands of the sorcerer, KHngsor. Wagner's music-drama tells of the experiences of .

Flagstad Again Superb Kundry, one of the shortest,

but also most difficult of Wag-ner's soprano roles, was por-trayed again by Kirsten Flag· stad. Despite Madame Flagstad's physical shortcomings as a con-vincing seductress, her perform-ance was nothing short of fabu-lous. Suffice it to say that the part was handled as only the in-comparable Flagstad can handle it.

Charles Kullman, as the naive Parsifal surprised at least th is listener wIth an adm irable per-formance. His voice is somewhat heavier than of old, and suffi-ciently rich and powerful to be well suited to Wagnerian roles.

Dezso Ernster appeared again, this time as Gurnemanz, an el-derly knight of the grail. Erns· tel' turned ou t to be far more ac· ceptable in this part than as King Mark in Tristan last Thurs-day. By the time the third act had rolled around he had weak-ened some, and his singing of the Good Friday Music left a little to be desired, but as a whole his rendition of t.he part was quite satisfactory.

Sigurd Bjoerling appeared as Amfortas, keeper of the Holy Grail, and displayed excellent vo· tal talents. Other members of a fine cast included Disire Ligeti as Titurel, Ralph Herbert as the evil Klingsor, and many others as knights, esquires, flower maid. ens, etc.

However, the second period saw a rather spirited line make many tries at the goal, but only two struck pay dirt.

During the second half, for-wards Gutierrez and Bhanj -Deo sharpened the i r s ights and pushed through the remaining three tallies. Much credit is due to left wing Wood, who set up at least three of the goals with his expert feeding of the ball in-to the center of the field , and thus scoring pOSition. Ernie Weber also played a nice game, very often stopping the Thacher offense before it could get started.

Better Dcfense The defensive play of the

team showed marked improve-ment, also. There was a great deal more teamwork between Welch, Nob I e and Martin. Thacher was in scoring position very few times and the team's defensive players deserve a lot of credit.
