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?' I NEWS 1 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.
