DSO Friends
Continued from Page 5
Much commitment comes
from Jewish supporters, who
comprise about 66 percent of
the Friends group.
Pangborn does not hesitate
to say that her fellow Jews in
Detroit should be con-
tributing more to the DSO.
Although frequent concert-
goers, Jews have a love of art
and music that should prompt
an even closer relationship
with the symphony, she said.
"Culture has always been
so important to Jews,"
Pangborn said. "And we want
our children to have a better
life. Classical music is cer-
tainly a part of a better life?'
Pangborn also wants to in-
crease the support of another
part of the population. Men.
"I saw the need for a group
like this years ago," she said.
"The only comparable
organizations were for
women, and I saw that men
wanted to be able to
volunteer. The only way for
them to become involved had
been to get on the DSO board.
But even then, they couldn't
have a quantitative input
because there are about 250
people on the board."
The newly formed Friends
already boasts eight men on
its 12-member board,
Pangborn said. "This shows
how much involvement men
want to have."
Taking charge of the
Friends of the DSO is a
curious career for a woman
who admits she got a late
start in coming to classical
music.
"I took piano lessons in our
basement when I was a little
girl," Pangborn said. "But I
didn't really catch the bug un-
til I saw Leonard Bernstein
conducting the New York
Philharmonic in 1958. And
suddenly I thought, 'Where
has this been all my life?' It
filled a void I hadn't even
known existed?'
It was the New York
Philharmonic that first at-
tracted her interest, but it is
the DSO alone that is
Pangborn's consuming pas-
sion today.
"The DSO is as good as, if
not better, than orchestras in
any other city," she said.
Now Pangborn is making
sure other Detroiters see eye-
to-eye with her on that
subject.
Among the projects of the
Friends are public forums and
a speakers' bureau. They are
planning a Halloween concert
and a gala to raise funds for
scholarships for students hop-
ing to join symphonies. The
scholarship fund was
established by the Friends
group.
Pangborn knows all too well
what's out there. In a world
where Bruce Springsteen is
thought to be a demigod and
Madonna's name is almost
well, holy, the likes of
Shostakovich and Mahler
may not exactly get the
crowds going.
"If you don't like classical
music, then do this for
Detroit. Do this for the city,"
Pangborn said.
She also has advice for
those who may be timid about
trying a new musical dish.
"So many people are afraid
to come to the symphony," she
said. "They think they won't
understand concerts because
they don't know theory or
composition. But they should
just come to hear it for what
it is — beautiful music?'

Herzog Hears
Soldiers' Plea
Jerusalem (JTA) — A
delegation of 17 reserve of-
ficers and soldiers urged
President Chaim Herzog Sun-
day to intervene on
"humanitarian" grounds in
the administered territories.
Herzog received the delega-
tion and heard their com-
plaints about the
"deteriorating moral values"
of the Israel Defense Force in
the territories. They said the
government authorities seem-
ed paralyzed because of the
political ties between the two
major political parties.
Herzog heard the soldiers
out but offered no comment
and apparently will not take
a stand on the issues raised.
Reagan Signs
Hate Crimes Bill
Washington (JTA) —
President Reagan signed into
law the "Hate Crimes" bill
which imposes federal crimi-
nal penalties for damage to
religious property.
The bill, originally pro-
posed by Rep. Dan Glickman
(D-Kan.), imposes fines up to
$250,000 and/or up to 10-years
imprisonment for anyone con-
victed of causing more than
$10,000 in damage to a relig-
ious institution or cemetery
or serious bodily injury to
anyone trying to exercise his
or her religious beliefs.
Still pending in the Senate
Judiciary Committee is
another bill that would re-
quire the Justice Department
to gather statistics and report
annually on crimes against
persons or property because of
race, religion, ethnic origin or
sexual orientation. The bill,
sponsored by Rep. John Con-
yers (D-Mich.), was adopted
by the House in May.
