From The Harvard Crimson
February 18, 1953
Radcliffe may have a new co
operative dorm next year if a suit
able building can be found, Mrs.
Mary S. Moser, Dean of Residence,
indicated recently.
“With the present tuition rates,
we consider it an obligation to the
students to provide more opportun
ity for lower cost housing,” said
Dean Moser. Radcliffe has been
considering the new co-op for some
time, but with the tuition hike, such
a move may be a necessity.
In the co-op setup, the girls will
manage their own marketing and
cooking, independently of the col
lege. Similar setups are now being
used in three ’Cliffe Houses—Peach,
Edmunds and Everett.
The search for a building has
been unsuccessful so far. Dean
Moser felt it would be too expen
sive to convert any of the present
off-campus houses into co-ops be
cause of their lack of kitchen
space.

THE SUNDAY EVENING
CULTURAL HOUR
“Enchanted
Strings"
Thrills Audience
The loveliest sight in music was
presented in Davage Auditorium
on February 22 when Ving Mer
lin’s “Enchanted Strings” appeared
on the Sunday Evening Cultural
Hour through the auspices of the
Clark College Music Department.
The well known conductor, when
musical director of N. B C. Tele
vision, was requested to create a
program that would be visually
beautiful and musically excellent.
The result was the creation of an
all-girl, all-string orchestra, “En
chanted Strings.”
Ving Merlin’s brain child was to
appear for only one program as a
test. However, the response to these
lovely girls and their thrilling mu
sic was so tremendous that the
orchestra remained on television
for one year—and was the first
orchestra to present the finest in
music, including the semi-classic,
classic and popular on television.
Called the “most beautiful or
chestra in America” and their mu
sic “thrilling to listen to,” the
unique concert attraction presented
a program of light and heavy clas
sics in their appearance here.
They artistically and unerringly
presented Mozart’s “Eine Kleine
Nachtmusik”; Brahms’ “Hungarian
Dance No. 5”; Debussy’s “Claire
De Lune”; Serenade for String in
C”, Opus 48 by Tchaikowsky; and
waltzes from “Die Fledermaus” for
the first half of the concert.
The second half of the program
included a violin solo; Morton
Gould’s arrangement of “London
derry Air”; “Rhapsody in Blue”
and “Porgy and Bess Fantasia” by
George Gershwin.
Alyne Dumas Lee
One of the most remarkable so
prano voices of the Concert stage
today was heard on January 11th
when the Clark College Music De
partment presented Alyne Dumas
Lee in Davage Auditorium as the
first feature of the 1953 Sunday
Evening Cultural Hour.
Adjectives such as “tremendous,”
“thrilling,” “deeply moving,” “spec
tacular,” and “sensational” came
easily to the lips of those who
heard her sing as Atlantans like
“Chicagoans” saw for themselves
in the curtain-raiser of the 1953
Cultural Hour.
For the first half of her pro
gram, she thrilled her audience
with Handel’s “Oh sleep, why dost
thou leave me?”; “Let us wander
on unseen,” from L’Allegro; and
“Dank Sei dir Herr.” She then
presented Marx’s “Selige Nacht”;
“Und gestern hat er mir Rosen
Gebracht;” “Nocturne;” and “Hat
dich die Liebe beruhrt.” Kurt Weil’s
aria “Somehow I never could be
lieve that life was meant to be all
dull and gray,” concluded the first
half of her concert.
In the second half of the delight
ful concert, she rendered, “How do
I love thee” by Lippen; “The sleep
that flits on baby’s eyes,” by Car
penter; Beach’s “The Years at the
spring;” and Scott’s “The Jasmine
Door.”
The enthusiastic audience was
held spellbound as she concluded
her program with “Life and Death”
by Taylor; “Dark Virgin” by Price;
Lawrence’s arrangement of “Let
us break bread together;” and Na
thaniel Dett’s “Pm a Traveling to
the Grave” and “Ride on Jesus.”
