CHASE Program Mendelssohn Symphony No. 4 "Italian" Mozart Concerto for Piano1 and Orchestra in B-flat major, K 595 . Roussd Bllet Suite from "Tbe Spider's Feast" gavel Suite No. 2 from the Ballet "Daphnis and Chloe" Second things first ruled the events of the Monte Carlo Na- tional Orchestra concert last Sat- urday evening inI4ill Aud When the young pianst-with his curly, reddish hair and de- termined looking face recalling the Artur. Rubinstein of 5years ago -had played only his first fewI notes, something special was In the air. Michel Block, a peiformer little known in this .country, showed that a piano need'hot be ham- mered and banged to be poetic; all the: music of Mozart requires is a gentle caress and .it speaks with the eloquence of a. muse. Block knew just how to elicit that tone. The orchestra, on the other hand, perhaps weary from its 17th concert in as many nights, play- ed with little enthusiasm. The Mendelssohn symphony had the drive, but not the youtlful spar- kle so often associated with the music of that composer. Conductor Paul Paray had good feeling for what the music was about in the Mendelssohn, but the French compositions seemed to wander from high point: to high point with little concern ' either. for what was in between 'or for' the proportion of each climax in relation to the others and to the whole. In compositions such as the Mendelssohn symphony, .this in between portion is quite often an backgrounds than for those whose intellectual developing of mater- homes and schools have supported ial previously stated; in the academic learning and provided French works played, the interim enduring and meaningful contacts notes help tell the story of the with valued cultural elements. ballet.

In the proposed use of achieve- ment tests and class rank as bases for deferment we see the poten- tiality for many very poignant personal tragedies in those stu-; dents who, only marginally pre- pared and supported by their cul- tural backgrounds, with the add- er challenge of having to struggle to overcome their deficiencies in background in order to profit from their college experience, will be the first to be deprived of the sorely- needed opportunity to advance themselves through education and to achieve fulfillment of their pre- viously untapped intellectual re- sources. Theirs and their families' hopes will be more or less per- manently destroyed, in the face of the struggles and sacrifices it took for them to achieve student status in a major university such as this. Is it justifiable that the burden of sacrifice should fall more on lower class students who are least able to bear it, than on students from professional, man- agerial, and business families? The' draft already falls more heavily on those from the lower class, because they are less likely to ob- tain the educational deferments granted to college students. It would compound the sacrifices of this class even more if those few who were able to enter higher ed- ucation were again disproprotion- ately selected. The proposed sys- tem for distributing deferments among students will thus con- tribute further to a widening of the gap between classes, will add to inequality of opportunity, and to a further rigidity and limita- tion on socio-economic mobility through education. 3) The proposed deferment bas- 4) Further, the use of class is of class rank and test score rank based on grades contributes has other highly undesirable edu- a pressure for students to gravi-I cational implication.
