Walton Reveals
Science Methods
The second in a series of faculty-planned convocations, held during sixth hour on October 21 in
Coffman Hall, featured a talk on
The Scientific Approach by Mr.
William Walton, and the new college band, under the direction
of Mr. Johnson. At the opening
of the convocation, the band presented two selections: "Prelude
and Fugue in F Minor" by Bach,
and a melody of five numbers entitled   "Newsreel"   by  Schumann.
The focal point of interest at
the convocation was a talk "How
fo do Nothing All Alone" by
Yourself" by Mr. Walton. He
stressed the idea that "the scientist has developed certain techniques of communicating with himself and  with  other  scientists.	
Without these techniques science sight into the consequences of
could not have developed the their actions." He then elaborat-
wealth of reliable experience ed on two main techniques: how
maps we call scientific knowledge,    scientists agree upon what sym-
The same techniques,, he said, bols mean, referring back to ex-
are of value in any situation periences all people can agree
where people want to reach upon; and the objective standard
agreements   and   to   gain   fore-     of truth."
ing was the decision to have a
choral clinic at RJC with the Junior College choir participating as
the clinic choir. The clinic is scheduled for either a Tuesday or
Thursday in November. The half-
day clinic will start at 12 P.M.
with the choir rehearsing from
12 to 2 P.M. under the direction
of a guest director, who will be
chosen in the near future. Several
of the music directors plan to
sing with the choir, which is composed of 49 voices. According to
Mr. Johnson, "the choir is looking
forward to this unusual opportunity. We feel it. is an honor to
serve as fhe clinic choir for this
occasion."
After the choir rehearsal, there
will be a clinic for the music directors of the district. The clinic
will stress and study choral techniques.
