Moody said after five years of employment the University makes a decision whether or not to hire the instructor, and that in this case the University has little choice, unless a new position that DeJonge could fulfill was available. Moody said USC has no cello teacher at all and yet several cello students, so USC must hire a new cellist. To make room for the cellist DeJonge would have to be released, as the University does not need two violinists, according to Moody. One-by -one the assembled associates of DeJonge told of their rewards under his guidance and how they felt his release would severly hurt the University's Music Department. Intensely loyal, they told of DeJonge con stantly prodding toward new goals, his encouragement, and his per sonal undertakings of musical programs for the University Or chestra and the Columbia Sym phony Orchestra. All were seemingly outraged he could be Ni dismissed. fa Moody fielded questions for U: almost two hours and then promised he would look into re whatever practical proposals Et anyone could come up with before fo making a final decision. pr Students are planning to he organize further action to help DeJonge as soon as they learn a% more about the guidelines the I University has in such cases. in p4 Cultural pC Happenings th The University of South Carolina sa Concert Choir, under the direction A of Arpad Darazs, will present the first of its annual Lenten Concerts at 7 p.m. Sunday in Trinity Episcopla Church.
