COLLI By RUTHANN RECHT 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.

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 TODAY: Engineers To Hold Program By BARTON HUTHWAITE Revolutionary methods for ex- pressing engineering ideas through the use of models and 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 from 2-5 during the afternoon.

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.

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.

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.
