KILLINGSWORTH Just as there was more to Car- men than a rose and a lowered decolletage, there is more to opera than simply music, as the New York City Opera company showed last night. Act I seemed to indicate the anomaly of the entire perform- ance: a rather motley crew of soldiers and Sevillians who period- ically divided up into easily dis- tinguishable and fairly monoton- ous groups. There were some ef- Distinctive Haircutting for people who care!

After a rather exag- gerated and somewhat breathy vocal start, she gained both musi- cal and theatrical energy - and was delightful in the Seguidilla' and Duet, in which she seduces (induces?) Don Jose into Lillas Pastia's notorious cafe outside Se- ville and thereafter to a life of degeneracy, smuggling and vice. Don Jose, played by John Crane in Richard Cassilly's stead, was another matter. Don Jose is fun- damentally an obtuse, uncoordi- nated and indecisive young soldier, and Mr. Crane played him well, although perhaps not altogether intentionally. No Joints Julius Rudel, the conductor and general director, and Emile Re- nan, the stage director, apparent- ly seem to believe that the human anatomy has no joints. Save for the sinuous Carmen, the charac- ters -Don Jose suffered particu- larly-crossed the stage not by moving but by moulding into a series of poses. To be sure, "Carmen" as music was generally excellent. Carol Bayard, as Micaela, was touching. as the simple country lass, who, alas, fails to attract Don Jose's passions. Escamillo-Sherrill. Mill- nes-was outstanding both as a singer' and as an actor, and was the only completely"convincing member of the cast. Perhaps hef studied dance to acquire such stage presence; suffice it to say that both he and the dancers in Act II's Gypsy Song were high- lights of the performance. Fine Performances Frasquita, Mercedes, Remenda- do, and Dancairo (Donna Precht, Beverly Evans, Kellis Miller and William Ledbetter) were good as several of Carmen's smuggler friends, although they had trou- ble keeping with the orchestra in their quintet in the second act. But as theatre, "Carmen" was lacking. It did not lack for musical tal- ent, to be sure. Micaela, Don Jose, Escamillo and Carmen were! all excellent singers. "Carmen's" arias could not com- pletely be muffled even by the inhibited stage presentation. Mi- caela's air, Don Jose's "La Fleur Que Tu M'Avais Jete" and Esca- millo's "Si Tu M'Aimes" were all moving. And the famous Toreador+ Song and Carmen's "Habanera" were powerful indeed., After some beautiful and fre- quently passionate music, Carmen very nearly missed dying in the: last act. The most unfortunate and bru- tal fatality in the opera, how- ever, was "Carmen" as theatre. By FRED DONER ing the door. His name is Peter.

Parallel surveys will be made in ten foreign countries, including five countries behind the Iron Curtain. The field work for the survey in America will consist of interview- ers going to 1,500 households in urban areas selected randomly across the nation. The survey will concern two kinds of time measrement, Prof. Philip Converse of the Political Science department, said. It will first keep track of people's time expenditures on a particular day. An interviewer will then return the next day to get a more com- plete view of that particular day.

Fealty At the time of the Board of HigherhEducation's call for "un- divided fealty," it also reaffirmed its "adheren,;e to the principle of free tuition." The board also expressed its "regret that recent public state- ments, made without the prior knowledgeorapproval of this board,; have infringed upon the principle that this board, and not others. is charged by law with the "I accordingly resign from my office as chancellor of the City University of New York and my position as professor of mathe- matics, effective at once." Meng, in his letter, said the Board of Higher Education's reso- lution calling for "undivided fealty" was "vague, ambigous and insulting," and added that, "The 'undivided fealty' of this member may be earned but it can be neither coerced nor purchased." Gideonse said, "There are no issues about 'free tuition,' of course, since my own position on this question has been consistent through the years."~ Interviewers will try to find out if the day is typical of the year's activities. Annual vacations and other seasonal differences are two factors that will concern the in- terviewers. In addition to the 1,500 select- ed households across the nation, 500 homes in Jackson, Michigan, will be studied extensively. This is being done to accommodate some of the European nations that are not in a position to take a na- tional survey. Prof. Converse not- ed that such a survey requires a large investment to maintain a paid staff of interviewers. The researchers chose Europeank cities on such criterion as size and industrialization. Jackson, Mich- igan, was one of the American cities that fit the same criterion. Osnabruck, West Germany, and Gyor, Hungary, are two of the European cities that will be studied. Although the interviewing will be finished in February, it will take two or three months to code and prepare the data for process- ing, Prof. Converse noted. Some time before summer the analysis of the data will begin. The data will then be duplicated for the re- search institutes of the other participating nations.

The Rev's off and Ed Reynolds on with Pat. Ed prepares to play, Pat pre- pares her golden voice (she's pret- ty), and the cooks in the kitchen prepare sloppy Joes for the wai- tress trays.
