Vienna Boys Choir
performs Thursday
The Vienna Boys Choir Con¬
cert will be bringing the mood
of old Vienna to Fresno Thurs¬
day, at 8:30 p.m. at the Conven¬
tion Center Theatre.
The one-night performance In
Fresno is a part of the Choir's
25th North American tour. It
is being sponsored by the Fresno
State College Union.
A rollicking operetta, Viennese
waltzes and Austrian folk songs
are on the program for the even¬
ing, as well as some religious
selections.
The boys will compliment the
musical mood changes by featur¬
ing various costume changes.
Traditionally the boys wear sail¬
or suits.
The Choir's history dates back
to the 1400's and .the Hapsburg
Court.   In 1498, Emperor Maxi¬
milian I founded
school in which a dozen boys
were engaged in musical activi¬
ties under the direction of a
choirmaster. iThts boys choir
performed religious music In the
Court Chapel In Vienna.
As the boys' voices changed,
they received 'mustering-out
pay' and their fare home. If they
decided to continue their studies,
the Emperor provided for their
tuition and living expenses. Later
Hapsburgs continued this tra¬
dition.
During the Eighteenth Century,
the scope of the Choir was broad¬
ened to Include secular music.
The Choir also began concert
tours to other courts.
With the end of the Hapsburg
Monarchy at the close of World
War I, the Choir faced extinct¬
ion. Father Josef Schmltt, the
Choir's dean, saved the group
by  Initiating   tours   for profit.
Today the same strict stand-
i still upheld by the
Choir. Prospective choir boys
must pass examinations and
prove their scholastic ability,
along with their musical talents.
Only about one In ten applicants
Is accepted. The Choir numbers
around 100, with two touring
groups of 22, and one group
which always stays in Vienna
to sing at the Hofmuslkkappelle.
The boys must study for two
years at the Seminary School In
Vienna before they are Judged
for the Choirs. The Choir mem¬
bers range from ages s to 14.
When a boy's voice changes,
his service with the Choir la over.
However, the organization main¬
tains a home for these boys and
helps ■ prepare them tor their
chosen places In life.
All ASB card holders may
purchase the $2, $3, or$4 tickets
at a dollar discount In the College
Union Information booth. All seats
are reserved.

Playmate Wong insists
she's 'basically shy'
The essential blues
By Lyle Greenfield
As If I had burped. As If I had ... At any rate, I humbly beg your
collectlve pardons, my dear proper, mannerly, socially conscious
reader. For I am no more Justified In setting this particular column
before your eyes than I would be In standing an inch from your
nose and Intentionally releasing a great, prepared Budwelser burp.
Flee then! If you must, my fellow sophisticates, or else hold se¬
curely your cerebral gas masks -Tcan no more control my varied
manias than I can an occasional gaseous Intestinal anal emission.
(Have not the goodliest among us bean severe offenders at one time
or another?)
Ah me ... I have purposely begun with a digression In the hope of
removing, somewhat, the certain discomforts one might feel in
reading, for the first time, an Intellectual exposition on the subject
matter with which I Intend to deal here. However, In rereading m>
first few lines, I see that I have failed miserably. Even I am re¬
pulsed. This Is unfortunate. For, In these past two weeks I have In¬
tended to do a column on our beloved Miss Campus Queen contest
winner. But the idea for a column examining the sociological signifi¬
cance of the large number of college men and women who don't flush
the toilets In our student union came as a flash (or flush). Still,
perhaps the whole thing Is a bit seamy, on the whole. On the whole,
that is. Well, In retribution, next week I shall carefully relate this
apparently singular subject, to the pleaaanter (sic) one of the
Campus Queen.
Hmtnmm. I have chosen a most perplexing problem for myself.
Observation Is not enough. It Is quite clear to me, In my fourth year
at this university, that a healthy 30-40 per cent of the male students
do not flush the urinal after taking advantage of Its services. Another
10-13 per cent similarly neglect the potty. Bat this Is quite clear to
anyone. I must conduct my usual in-depth random interviewing in
order to make this column a valuable contribution to Opinion Re¬
search, and fulfill my dedication to the 'dialog* style to convey
poignant reality. And yet I value my life and cannot risk asking some
surly slob why he didn't flush. I moat speculate. Ah yaal Four yaars
of liberal schooling have taught me the value of speculation: Why
don't they flush? Could it be that It takes too much time to flush In
the rush between classes? Would It be degrading to that which has
been deposited? - It could not, In good moral conscience, be done?
Could It be that many individuals feel a conscious benevolent need to
give of themselves to those who shall follow them?
Gentle reader, I am undone! What use la aimless speculation
without conclusion?! I need facta, opinions. The obvious la far too
aurfadaJ: I enter the 'Men's Room*. I walk by the sinks, with the
mirrors, with the gentlemen, with the hair down to their mohair
belts, cutting class In order to comb a perfect part, and consider
quickly my own Immediate need: relief. I choose the fifth of five
urinals - It Isn't overflowing. The rest look like the Bleaker Street
sewer system after a thundershower has wiped out an in-progreaa
sidewalk flngerpalntlng contest. It's not enough. I need the psychol¬
ogy of motivation, or lack thereof.
My lover reports that only nine per cent of the women don't flush,
and I complement their overall good taste. Yet, consider the per¬
vasive Influence of only one offender. A dear, calculating friend of
mine assures me that throughout the period of three hours and forty-
six minutes following deposition, the amount of aromatic influence
Increases geometrically in total air volume. Ponderous figures! (be¬
yond three hours and forty-six minutes, tolerance grudgingly takes
over) I am considering, for analysis' sake, only one offender. Now
that that tiny 9 per cent female offenders, multiply their-percentage
force by the 5,500 total female enrollment here, and what do you
have? (answer in your heads)
Dear reader, dear reader. Assuredly, I am nbt being too harsh
with myself in my own self-condemnation. In offering this piece for
publication, I have surely stepped quite beyond the limits of discre¬
tion. And what was to be accomplished? Another friend whose intel¬
lect Is base as my own applauded my topic; 'Groovy, man. But the
same cats that don't flush, aren't gonna' flush - no matter what you
say.* My aad realization. OUR sad burden. WeU, being liberal, we
won't begrudge them aa long as they're doing their thing.

'I'm basically shy,' said Gwen
Wong, Playboy'a April 1967 Play¬
mate, who nevertheless seemed
to have communicated well
with the male audience Friday
night at Sigma Nu'a playboy
dance at the convention center.
Born In Manila, Gwen'a family
moved to the United States when
she waa 7 years old. Her parents
and a 13-year-old sister live In
Akron, Ohio.
Gwen first entertained the idea
of becoming abunny when her aunt
was a bunny In the Miami and
New York Playboy Clubs. She now
works In the Los Angeles Club.
When first approached by staff
photographer Mario C ass ill to try
out for playmate, Gwen - who
stands barely five feet tall -
felt  she 'Just couldn't do it.'
Two years later, Gwen waa
again asked by Cassili to try out
for playmate.
By that time, she and Cassili
had become good friends
and Gwen finally agreed to try.
The actual posing for the fold-
out requires long hours and
hundreds of shots. Poses are
sent to Playboy President Hugh
Hefner who makes the final de-
•A playmate has absolutely no
voice In the final selection of the
fold-out,* said Gwen.
Of her posing aa playmate,
Gwen feels, 'It's Just a picture In
I enjoy seeing people eating my
food and being happy.* Timeper-
rottting, Gwen said she would like,
to enroll In a gourmet school.
On being a bunny, Gwen said,
■You are Judged mainly on par-
Featured In this year's Play¬
boy calendar for the month of
May, Gwen said she will never
pose completely In the nude.
1 always have something onln
all  the  pictures,*   said Gwen.
The one aspect of being a play¬
mate Gwen likes is the op¬
portunity to travel and to meet
people.
•There's a heck of a lot of
people all over this world,* said
Gwen, 'and they're really great
people.'
'Granted, everyone Isn't al¬
ways nice but that gives me even
more Incentive to be extra nice
to them to try to make them like
me,' she said. *I believe you
can find good In every person.'
An excellent cook, Gwen
especially likes to cook French
food. In her spare time she likes
to try out new recipes and browse
through   recipe books.
'I guess I like to cook because
They generally want the nice,
sweet-looking girl- never any¬
thing harsh. Actually many of the
girls are really quite average
looking.*
According to Gwen the average
retiring age of a bunny la 25.
And what happens to a retired
bunny? 'She la sent to the bunny
