“More Thrills In Student Life/’ Says Former Cop
A student’s life is packed with more thrills than is the humdrum life of a motorcycle patrolman. If you don’t believe this, ask Arnold Olsson, sophomore at the University of Miami, who gave up his position as a member of the Massachusetts State Police to come to study here in Miami. Although lately in the branch of public service generally regarded as not quite friendly to the student's conception of happiness, at least

Under the baton of William Kopp the orchestra presented concerts of unusual merit. Although this was Mr. Kopp’s first season here, he led the orchestra to a point where the music of the masters can be played with finesse. The concerts this year showed rising progress. Every program contained at least one outstandingnumber, either an orchestral composition, or that chosen by the guest artist.
Just before the triumphant last number, the “Finale” from Tschai-kowsky’s fourth symphony, Mr. *Kopp was given a rising ovation, with the entire audience standing to honor the conductor.
Ees'des the well executed Tschaikowsky number, perhaps the lov-liest piece was the lyric “Artists’ Life” by Strauss, beautifully interpreted. The Mozart symphony in G minor, with three movements, was well played, with the minuet winning most favor.
The audience was pleased with the two movements from the eighth symphony of Beethoven in F major, especially the allegretto scherzando, a charming, light, joyous number.
Marian Barry Taylor, violinist,
who played the “Symphony Espag-nole" of Lalo with the orchestra, delighted the audience so much that she was obliged to repeat a part of the number.
