The program con sisted of four works beginning with two Baroque works, Corelli's Con certo no. 8, opus 6, the Christmas Concerto, and Vivaldi's Concert grosso no. 11 in D minor from opus 3, the "Harmonical Whim." Societa Corelli is not on a par with either Quadri's or Rossi's grout Even-less favorably does this group compare with the Virtuosi di Rom or I Musici in technical ability.

RDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1959 NIGHT EDITOR: ROBERT JUNKER IFC Selectity Study: A Noteworthy Move: IERFRATERNITY Council's Executive ommittee should be congratulated for its sion to survey selectivity, including the area )las clauses. hie motion passed Thursday night in general .onstrates an admirable willingness on the ncil's part to inspect the more questionable of fraternity affairs. riefly, the plan calls for a committee of five ernity men who would 1) compile data of action in the area, 2), evaluate the present ation, which will undoubtedly reveal a de- ,sing number of houses having written ses, 3) propose changes to Council policy he area, and 4) make definite recommenda- s for future action by the Council, un- btedly the most important segment of the ne suggestion which might improve the ly centers around composition of the com- mittee. Although study of the bias problem may properly originate from within the fra- ternity system, the investigation might be aided by the addition to the committee of one or more intelligent observers. A second suggestion regards the wording of the motion. The passage proposing "changes, modifications, or additions to Interfraternity Council policy in this area" could be very cru- cial but lacks solid meaning due to the vague- iess of actual Council policy towards clauses. In recent years little action has been taken which can honestly be called policy. A specific statement of Council policy, or at least attitude, while difficult to arrive at, might have strength- ened the plan. As things stand, however, the idea is.a sound and good one. It is hoped that the resultant recommendations will be equally praiseworthy. -THOMAS HAYDEN ,:: U.S. Nears Realism HE FORTHCOMING Western note to Rus- sia concerning the ;'erlin crisis may be one the few realistic approaches by the Allies the issue.

Symptoms of intolerance and prejudice are o visible here. Need for an Inter-fraternity uncil study of "restrictive clauses" and the ole Sigma Kappa issue point out defects in attitude of brotherhood at the University. SEEMS that such1 a fundamental concept has been handled a bit lightly by the rather sty proclamation. The ideal program, of arse, would have been a week of extensive Germans, and yet, this would be a concrete step toward attaining an East-West compro- mise on the problem. IF JUST West, Germans are intended by the invitation, then there is no realism in the entire note. Past experience indicates that Russia would not agree to such a proposal. Perhaps the very vagueness of the invita- tion underlines a major problem in the issue. It appears that both sides are clouding =pro- posals with idealistic, vague and propagandistic phrases. This leaves the proposal's intention unclear, and hence the opposition responds. with either "no" or "nyet." A truly realistic approach has yet to be taken by the West. The new note to the Soviets has the framework for taking concrete action perhaps in two or three months it will ma- terialize. -JOAN KAATZ Ven Days activities planned to emphasize the ,'golden rule" concept of giving others rights and re- spect regardless of race or religion. A schedule of activities comparable to Inter- national Week or at least planned as thoroughly as the League's Frosh Weekend or SGC's J-Hop probably would have been the most effective method for emphasizing the concept 'to the students. H OWEvER, because of a lack of time neces- sary for promoting such an extensive pro- gram, the week can only serve as a, reminder- a challenge to reaffirm a fundamental demo- cratic principle. But seven days of brotherhood are a mere drop in the bias bucket. Brotherhood Week can only serve as a reminder of the solution of what has been called America's number one problem-intergroup relations. SGC, in dedicating next week to interna- tional brotherhood, has provided a push in the right direction. But it seems to be a tap where a shove is needed. -JEAN HARTWIG i play without merit. It was refresh- ing to escape the Italian "super- smoothness" for once; this group was not afraid to attack the music vigorously. As a whole the concert was in- consistent. It was marred with technical faults in many places. And yet "spotty" highlights did appear at which time the group really showed its capabilities, play- ing with charm as well as under- standing. Corelli's Christmas Concerto was probably the most successful work on the program. The concertino played beautifully, its singing quality contrasting sharply with the tuttu. Unfortunately the tutti at this point did not show the "roughness" necessary for a more dynamic contrast. The forte and piano contrasts between concer- tino and tutti as well as the con- trasts within the tutti itself stood out as models of technique for playing Corelli. The tempos used throughout the concerto were also just right. s* * THE VIVALDI concerto was less successful, being literally riddled with technical mistakes. The most glaring error was committed by the first cellist who completely missed his cue and came in a full measure too early. Despite the technical errors, Society Corelli played as if nothing were wrong, giving the concerto an effective interpretation. The cellos, inter- estingly enough, maintained the necessary "roughness" throughout this concerto. The- closing Allegro was attacked vigorously and the group employed the ,most delicate shadings during the melanchollic Largo. The Boccherini cello concerto was by far the weirdest work on the program. The cadenzas in the Allegro and the Rondo sounded like a conglomeration of "musical impressions" treated too roman- tically by Mr. Zuccarini. These cadenzas became even more mud- dled amid Mr. Zuccarini's tech- nical errors. In sharp contrast to the first and last movements of the concerto, the Adagio was beautifully played; Mr. Zuccarini's tone was excellent. Technical ?proficiency was re- stored when Societa Corelli played Stravinsky's Concerto in D. As an encore, the group played a short work by Corelli which could aptly be termed cute. -Michael Cohen.

The Con- have always on-Congres- sional Democrats, in the national committee and elsewhere, have been persistenly unable to grasp. This is that the United States can have, across the' waters, only one President and, one Secretary of State at a time. Good, bad, or indifferent as these may be, there is no rational alternative to sup- porting them whenever we are in trouble anywhere abroad. Indeed, any other approach is not even good politics; it is the shrill cam- pus politics of a girls' finishing school. This was precisely the lesson the right-wing Republicans could never learn when, not long ago, they were trying to smash Mr. Truman's Secretary of State, Dean Acheson. IF THE Congressional ,Deio- crats had got in there and fought the Eisenhower Administration on world matters, what would have been the results? First, they would not have been able to dislodge Mr. Dulles anyhow, any more than the right-wing Republicans were able to dislodge Mr. Acheson. Second, since Congress cannot make for- eign policy anyhow except by sub- tly leading rather than berating a President, they could not have really altered the Dulles policies; they would only have enfeebled those policies bofore the world. , And, finally, today the Demo- crats would stand properly con- victed, of having added, for no sensible reason, to the burdens that have at last laid low the man who is, after all, the only Secre- tary of State we have got. y INTERPRETING THE NEWS: The Cyprus Surprise' LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Reader Warns Against Cinema Ce By J.

My first reaction when viewing this short was astonishment that such a film would be shown. It was an uncomfortable period of wonder- ing just what they were going to show next. However, the after- math of my first reaction was very different from Mr. Darsky's. Masturbation, if it was that, is something we do not usually talk about. However, we may talk about it, we may write about it, and we may even' make a movie about it. The subject content of art cannot be dictated. This film was not art or artistic in the "fine" sense, but it was in a medi- um which we include in "the arts." The argument seems to be that this was on the live screen which made it an affront to the sensibili- ties, Certainly 'much worse has been said in the pages of literature and still can be called art. Pictori- ally, 'though, we also have a his- tory of the distasteful in visual art. Goya's depicting of the muti-_ lated bodies of Spanish Civil War victims was anything but pleasant. Art may speak of any subject. It is the way in which the subject is treated which makes it art. We morals. However, thdugh these may be grounds to attack, they are not grounds to censor. Most of us would not care to have our tastes restricted nor would we care, therefore, to restrict others if they are at all open-minded. On moral grounds, who is 'the censor to say that though he was strong enough not to be morally injured by viewing or reading something, others will not be so strong. Cen- sorship is based on -fear and a lack of confidence in man. Anarchy was mentioned in sub- stantiating the idea that we must drive this type of film from the screen. Of course we cannot have anarchy in social and political life,. but the arts have been a field where a certain element of anar- chy has always reigned. Those, pro and con on censor- ship continually talk about a line which either must or must not be drawn. Censors depict a grim pic- ture of degradation if it is not drawn tightly. Those in opposition to censorship see the line encom- passing more and more and even- tually stultifying art. The latter is what I feel must be closely guarded against. -Jean Ellickson, Grad. Review one so young is qualified to judge a voice Toscanni calls "that of an angel." The reviewer is apparently not even familiar with the birth- place of the composers whose Mme. Tebaldi performed. Neither Mozart nor Handel can be in- cluded in the reviewers expression "Her program was restricted en- tirely to Italian repertoire." Though both composers are in the' Italian style, they are nevertheless not Italian. If one is to review, one must not be ,entirely ignorant of his subject. As for the appraisal of Mme. Tebaldi's voice, the reviewer him- self does not seem quite decided, though the outstanding critics in the world do not but praise her. He begins by saying that her voice, "due to expressionistic de- vices" results in "a generally mo- notonous vocal color," yet he adds, "the floated highnotes, the gentle caress of a phrase, the passionate outburst of tonem all part of Tebaldi's vocal nature" make for first-rate musical experiences. Is it not foolish and presumptu- ous to state that Mme. Tebaldi's voice is-"over-ripe to the point of unpleasantness" or "though it has opulance, luster and power, it is thickened with overtones and un- steadiness?" For Mr. McLaughlin to say this of Mine. Tebaldi is for, AT THE MICHIGAN: 'Buccaneer' Weak THE FABULOUS ERA when Hollywood was the land of the glamor- ous and home of the eccentric is slowly fading away and fast be- coming a memory as one by one its inhabitants play their last scene or call their last shot. Cecil B. DeMille was probably the most typical figure of this era as he dazzled the world with his re-writes of the Bible and overpowered everyone by the sheer size and scope of his pictures. It is a shame that "The Ten Commandments" was not his final spectacle because it was the apotheosis of his own com- mandment, "Thou shalt not be subtle." From Moses, DeMille shifted his cameras to "The Buccaneer," Jean hi La Fitte -- pirate, lover, and pa'. nsors p triot.
