You have an array of new smaller models to choose from, ranging from sub-compact models like Chevrolet's new Chevette to the new international­ size Seville from Cadillac. In fact, since 1972-the year before the energy crisis hit-the number of smaller car offerings from GM has more than doubled. What's more, GM has also been in the forefront by offering such things as the catalytic converter, smaller, more efficient engines and space-age electronics for ignitions, fuel injection and service diagnostics. So do yourself a favor. If you've been out of the new-car market for several years, stop by your Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick or Cadillac dealer's soon.

The Chamber Music Society of Lin­ coln Center will have as its home the Center’s new Alice Tully Hall. This intimate hall, though located within the new Juilliard building, will be managed by Lincoln Center as an independent Wadsworth Carmirelli Treger public auditorium, with its own entrance and box office on Broadway between 65th and 66th Streets. The hall, with its 1,100 capacity and paneled basswood walls, has been specifically designed for chamber music and recitals. The initial Board of Directors of the New Chamber Music Society will com­ prise Miss Alice Tully, Chairman; Frank E. Taplin, President; Edward R. Ward­ well, Vice-President; David Rockefeller, Jr., Treasurer; Sampson R. Field, Sec­ retary; Mrs. George A. Carden; Dr. Peter Goldmark; Mrs. William Rosen- wald and Dr. William Schuman.
