'U' Policy * University Policy: The exer- cise of in loco parentis by the 'U' should be relaxed. Specifically, sophomore women could be given permission to live in apartments. The issue of curfew hours for freshman women should be sub- mitted to a referendum vote by the freshman women students. * Outside Political Affairs: Ac- cording to Robinson, GROUP con- siders SGC as a representative of the student body that presents students' views to the outside world.

Spanish Harpsichordist Proves Baroque Music Can Be Exciting 1V POZNAN CHOIR: Singers Perform In Polish Tradition By LUCY KENNEDY / The Poznan Choir, appearing here tonight, represents 500 years of Polish history as well as being one of the finest male choruses in Europe. The choir began in the Poznan Church about .1450 and was made up of boys who were students at the cathedral and men from the Vicar's° College. In the eighteenth century, women took over the boys' parts; but at the time of the Prussian invasion, Josef Sur- zynski re-established the, original form of the choir and set about preserving Polish music. The choir continued through World War I and toured the ravaged areas of Poland. War Years The invasion of Poland in 1939 and the sudden imprisonment' of the Poznan Choir's Director, Dr. Waclaw Gieburowski, apparently put an end to the echoir which had become a symbol of Polish tradition. A nineteen-year-old choir member, Stefan Stuligrosz,' the present lirector and conductor, found sixteen boys and eight men with whom he formed new group.. During the entire Geerman oc- cupation, he worked with ,this group in secret,, holding. classes and rehearsals in:, hidden cellars and attics. He also organized se- cret concerts for his fellow coun- trymen which were held as part of the religious services in the two churches which Poles were still permitted to attend. After the liberation, Stuligrosz continued his work, expanding the choir to the fifty boys and twenty- five men that make up the present choir. holidays, the Poznan Choir School, under the direction of Professor Leodegarde Schechtel, receives about 300 applications. Only fif- teen boys are selected from this group. Selections are made on the basis of difficult examinations which test the candidate's regular academic accomplishment as well as his vocal ability and his basic musical potential. If he is lucky enough to be chosen, he then is admitted to a series of classes at the school. For one year he studies the reading of music, attends seminars in voice- training and begins a study of the repertoire of Geor- gian and Polish music. When he has completed his training period, the candidate fills the place of a departing member (most boys leave the choir when they are about fifteen) and becomes an official choir member. Competition Strong Although there is less turn over in the men's parts of the choir,~ new boys have to be taken in each year, and the competition is very strong. Frequently, a boy who leaves Poland a soprano returns a baritone. Stuligrosz believes that as soon as a boy's voice starts to change, he should stop singing so he will not strain his vocal chords. The choir, is presently subsi- dized by the Ministry of Art and Culture and between 1960 and 1961 toured behinId the Iron Cur- tain in Romania and Bulgaria and then in France. The choir made its initial appearance in Berlin in 1951 and has toured Europe each year with enormous success. The choir last appeared in the United States in 1963. I By JEFFREY K. CHASE Why not more recitals? Do the arts have to succumb to large scale display to be good? Spanish harpsichordist Rafael Puyana proved Sunday evening that even with very modest per- forming means, music can still be very exciting. To ears raised in the classic- romantic tradition, the music of the Baroque may at first sound uninspired, overly calm or lacking in variety. Upon close listening, however, one can detect what little gems these keyboard works really are. It's refreshing to hear music by Frescobaldi, Sweelinck, Chambonnieres, Louis Couperin, Sol'er and D. Scarlatti. Played Well Puyana played well, but pre- sented problems: first, one might challenge the authenticity of his harpischord sound. In the Baro- que, harpsichords weren't equip- ped with the variety of coloristic FREE to the first 20 Ladies at each Theatre, one 8-pack PEPSI-COLA!

He made the most of the color shadings of lute, harp, and reedy sounds which the musical purists would find insulting. They would say that the music was not writ- ten to sound that way and no performer should play it so! Twentieth century harpsichord music, written with this type of instrument in mind, is one case; old music written for a less rigged harpsichord, they would say, is another. Modernists To satisfy the modernists (pro- gressives?), Puyana's use of the effects was clever and served to highlight the contrast in the mu- sic. The second problem is Puyana's consistency of quality playing. When he played well, he played very well. But when he didn't play so well, notes were missed and rhythm faltered. When re- cording, of course, these momen- tary slips, no matter how num- erous, can be dubbed, but a live performance is a one shot deal and mistakes show through. Puyana came from Europe with a harpsichord, much music and the reputation of being the suc- cessor to the late, great Wanda Landowska.
