ITHACA, N.Y. - The Student
Council at Cornell University fi-
nally succeeded in ending its reg-
ular meetings before the Christ-
mas recess.
The Council has been fighting
for the discontinuation of regular
meetings since the beginning of
the semester.
The debate was marred by 'in-
decorous' remarks and the meet-
ing was climaxed by the resigna-
tion of a representative-at-large.
LJ The student, Michael Davidson,
charged that it was the "greatest
fiasco I've ever seen . . . and a
mockery of the electorate." He
was referring to the sudden ap-
pearance of three Council mem-;
bers following a 15 minute re-
i ed - cess and just prior to voting on
SJ C!the amendment.
Noted Violinist Advises
Contemplation in Music
By ANITA FELDMAN
It's funny, but I just can't
imagine myself as anything but a1
violinist," Nathan Milstein musedI
as he leaned forward in his chair.
"Since I was seven years old,
the violin and I have been insep-
arable. At first, I hated it, hatedj
to practice. But my mother madel
me keep at it, and now I certain-
ly am glad," the artist remarked
with a warm smile.
"Today, however, I rarely prac-
tice, since I have been playing
most of my numbers for 35-40
years. What I do do though is
think!"
Milstein explained this further
by adding that "the quality of
music is actually found in one's
thinking about it. Music only pre-
sents a thought, and because a
thought is never complete, it is
impossible to say that you have
completely mastered a musical
composition.".
More Understanding
"One has never thought enough,
and even in the greatest musician,
there is always room for a greater
understanding of the composi-
tion."
"I was in my teens when I
started to love music, to under-
stand and appreciate it," the vi-
olinist recalled. "I found that
through the violin I was able to
express myself and communicate
with people," he added.
Milstein was born in Russia but
has adopted America as his home.
When he was 16, he made his first
concert tour ofRussia though he
had made public appearances
when he was but ten years old.
Plays Through Europe
He played in Paris, Spain and
other European music centers be-
fore coming to the United States
in 1929, bringing with him a Euro-
pean reputation of greatness.
His first appearances with the
Philadelphia Orchestra and later
with the New York Philharmonic
Symphony were tremendously
successful. He established a repu-
tation both as a technician and
and as a supremely sensitive inter-
preter.
Despite his United States per-
formances with complete orches-
tras, Milstein prefers playing with
only a piano accompaniment. "In
this way, I'm my own boss, like I
was in my concert here Monday
night. Orchestras are nice, but it
is so hard for 80 men to conform
to the playing of one," he admit-
ted.
Six Months Abroad
The artist spends six months of
the year touring the United States
and the remaining six months
abroad. He has made repeated ap-
pearances in almost all the major
capitals of the world.
"Everywhere you go, the audi-
ences are the same," the violinist
ist explained. Though their reac-
EGE-1 lO_7 R0U
ions to the pieces may be differ-
ent, their appreciation of them is
identical.
Italy. for instance. reacts vio-
lently, as though they were in the
midst of a revolution, while Switz-
erland exhibits a more quiet and
reserved reaction. The way a
country displays its feelings just
depends on the habits that it has
acquired."
He remarked that "music does
not appeal intellectually to the
masses, but it does appeal to ev-
eryone's senses; just as sweet,r

Program

Revolutionary methods for ex-
pressing engineering ideas

photographs will headline a spe-
cial program in the Undergradu-
ate Library this afternoon and
evening.
Mechanical drawing, one of the
engineer's biggest time consumers
and headaches, may soon be re-
placed by a speeded up system
now under study by the Procter
and Gamble Company.
It is estimated that by taking
pictures of mechanical equipment
and/or using scale models, draft-
ing time could be cut by some 40
per cent.
Procter and Gamble's progress
to date will be featured during the
two part program, Sponsored by
the Society for the Advancement
of Management in cooperation
with six of the technical societies
of the egineering school here, the
program will begin with a display
in the third floor conference room
of the Undergraduate Library

Nuclear propulsion and stream-

Although the discovery of nu-
clear energy has solved the prob-
lem of fuel for these crafts, the
full possibilities of submarine use
have'not yet been fully exploited.
Until after World War II, the
capabilities of the submarine were
not really appreciated. Since the
war, however, naval architects
have been working on a true un-
derwater vessel, and the principle
of nuclear propulsion has been
put to use.

Larcom said while it might seem
that the Jacobs Plan was not con-
structed to allow the city to com-
pete on the market for scarce pro-
fessional people, it is also possible
it did in 1956 but that increased
demand for city planners, for ex-
ample, has driven up the price.
In the case of the beputy As-
sessor, he continued, the problem
is not that the city is unwilling or
unable to offer enough (the Ja-
cobs Plan lists $958 to $6,900) but
that there is a shortage of trained
men in the field.

designed it will have great super-
iority over surface vessels. Not
only will it travel at more than
thirty knots, but it will be able to
travel by shorter routes, such as
the polar route first covered by
the "Nautilus."
Prof. Richard B. Couch, chair-
man of the Department of Naval
Architecture and Marine Engi-
neering says, "The best design
now seems to be much like a diri-
gible. The 'Albacore,' the Navy's
fastest - its speed is secret - has
this shape with virtually all ex-
ternal apparatus removed to cut
drag."
"It also has just one propeller.
The design directs the water right
into the propeller, giving greater
propeller efficiency and even
gaining some energy from the
water pulled along by the hull.
"All these facts, of course, have
given rise to talk of commercial
submarines as tankers," he said.
"Because of this increasing in-
terest in submarines," he con-
tinued, "both Navy and possible
future commercial, more ship-
yards are gearing to build them.
We, correspondingly, are giving
additional time to teaching sub-
marine design and propulsion in
the classroom.
