""'. ..r Explore Jazz Left and Right In Arts Festival Symposium Board Members Say Role Won't Threaten Autonomy 1 r--_ UA(90 .:.... -- __ _ _.. - - _.l J By PAUL HIRSCH The University's annual jazzt h; appening took place yesterday int the form of an afternoon sympos- ium and a concert by the Andrew, Hill Quartet later in the evening. Jazz has come to be defined as whatever jazz musicians play, often to the consternaton of their audience, whose definitions of jazz may differ markedly from the mu- sicians.' The participants in yes- terday's symposium divided into shifting coalitions which seldom seemed to communicate, much less agree with each other. All participants in the discus- sion agreed that the jazz musician has little access to money, and I t c 1 that nightclub audiences can be disconcerting to serious musicians. Underlying their concensus, how- ever, was a difference in their out- looks which turned out to be ir- reconcilable. Members of the panel included Prof. Robert Sklar of the history department, Hill and Sam Rivers, a member of the Hill Quartet, John Sinclair and Charles Moore, of the Detroit Artists' Workshop, Jack Brokenshaw, a current night- club owner, Bill McLarney, a cor- respondent for Downbeat, a jazz magazine, and Joseph Jarmon, the L (continued from Page 1) and the proper staff to provide of the prove that they can fulfill that information on this "extremely most vocal spokesmanh need, Novak explained, complex area," Brennan explained. avant-garde contingent.

Rivers suggested that there is right-wing music (Lawrence Welk), liberal music (conventional jazz, bop), and left-wing music (the "new thing"). Dizzy Gillespie was called an entertainer as opposed to an ar- tist by Hill and the other "left- wing" musicians, which incensed the critic from Downbeat who sees no such separation of enter- tainment from art. vying for planning aunor iy - namely the Legislature and the individual governing boards--leads to prestige for the board's deci- sions. As Novak explains, "The large degree of involvement will be the springboard for implementa- tion of the master plan and the role of the board in coordination." Predicts Greater Involvement While the board has not yet actively entered the area of budgeting, Brennan predicts great- er involvement in the future. The feeling of the board has been that it shouldn't go into budgeting un- til the board has an understanding responsibility to shepherd educa- tion in the state." 11 (Continued from Page 1) I But for many the student has not come far enough. SGC's with- drawal from the OSA last semes- ter is testimony to this. And much of the blame is heaped on Cutler for building up student expecta- tion and then riot delivering. 'The trouble with Cutler," says one of his critics, "is that he is a good guy. You talk to him and he sounds like he's for you. Then he turns around and makes a de- cision which knifes you in the back. His personal veto of the stu- dent book store is an example. "If he were an outwardly bad guy you would know What to ex- pect and it wouldn't hurt so much, but this way you feel as if you have been betrayed." Heading the OSA is a rough jo. The man isresponsible to the Regents and yet his natural con- stituency-or those who should be his natural constituency-are the students. He is subject to simul- taneous pulls in opposite direc- tions and is called upon to har- monize two often conflicting in- terests. But Cutler does not seem out- wardly bitter or resentful. On the whole he says that he is satisfied with the job and has enjoyed his two years at it. He appears proud that his 'cool' Is undaunted. 1l Psycholinguistic Degree: Innovation in the Nation i k t i X C c l I East Coast Students, Faulty Form Pltea Aetion Group (Continued from Page 1) program. Students with graduate work or a Master's degree in psy- chology or linguistics can be ad- mitted with advanced standing. Any student interested in ap- plying for the program is en- couraged to write to the Rackham School of Graduate Studies, and to Tikofsky at 182 Frieze Building. All students admitted to the pro- gram will be given financial sup- port, available through a variety of sources including fellowships, research assistantships or trainee- ships. Research and Training Students will also be required to participate in research and teach- ing as part of their doctoral work. Tikofsky pointed out that the Uni- versity provides a wealth of op- portunities for students to engage in research related to psycholin- guistics. The Center for Research on Language and Language Be- havior, the Center for Human Growth and Development, the Speech Clinic, the phonetics lab- oratory, the English Language In- stitute and the Mental Health Re- search Institute were all cited as active centers of research in this field. Representing its integrated na- ture, the program's administrative committee is composed of faculty from the departments of psychol- ogy and linguistics. Members of the committee are: Profs. J. C. Catford and Peter Fodale of the linguistics department, and Profs. David Birch, Frank Koen and Tif- ofsky of the psychology depart- ment.

Nights 7:00 & 9:30 By GREG ZIEREN A group of Eastern college stu- dents and teachers recently form- ed an organization in New York, the Student-Teacher Political Ac-, tion Committee (STPAC). The group will train both students and teachers to run as candidates for political office. STPAC was founded last month after several students and teachers from Eastern schools met with Senator Robert Kennedy (D-NY) to ask for his public endorsement of United Nations Secretary-Gen- eral U Thant's proposal for a Vietnamese peace. When Kennedy refused, the students, who had travelled by bus from many East coast schools to Washington, created STPAC and opened an office in New York. Aims for Viet Peace According to members of ST- PAC's temporary national commit- tee, one of the main aims of the group is to promote peace in Viet- nam. The group proposes the ces- sation of the bombing of North Vietnam, the holding of U.N.- supervised elections including can- didates from the National Liber- ation Front and a phased with- drawal of all outside forces from South Vietnam, both the United States troops and her allies and the North Vietnamese. Another of its aims is support of Martin Luther King and A. Phillip Randolph's "Freedom Budget." The budget, which has1 met with approval from certain key union leaders, liberals, and civil rights activists calls for spending $10 billion during ten years to eliminate poverty, dis- crimination, and urban problems. The group was further disturbed by a reported National Security Council vote of 5-2 to invade North Vietnam late last year and Chief Press Officer McClosky's subsequent "no comment" reply to a Harvard Crimson reporter concerning the vote. $3 Thousand Banked Members of the National Com- mittee indicate that they have al- ready collected over $3,000 to ad- vance their cause. Future plans for STPAC include the founding of a school to train perspective student or teacher candidates for political office. The group has thus far rejected ran- dom endorsements of candidates not connected with STPAC and sees "grass roots democratic polit- ical action" as the only means of adopting their program. In addition, STPAC has plans for placing full-page advertise- ments on the back page of college newspapers fiom thirty-five large colleges across the country.
