Collins Introduces New Songs
For Diversified Performance

ing professionally for four years,
she first performed with piano ac-
companiment last. year at Carne-
gie Hall. The use of piano was
warmly received by the audience
then and so she has continued it.
There is no wonder that shej
uses it because her strong alto
voice, with its unlimited upper
range, sounds like an on-pitch
Barbara Streisand. Due to her
early and extensive training on
piano, she commented during the
performance that she still feels
more at home with the keyboard
than with strings.
Miss Collins' songs are person-
al, and that personality is infused
with wry humor and deep convic-
tions. She altered the traditional
"Silver Dagger Song" until its mes-

sage was humorous rather than
melodramatic. In fact, many of
her songs reflected her ability to
give special emphasis by means of
a dramatic pause or phrase.
Several of her songs containeda
an anti-war message. Along with .
a beautiful rendition of Tom Pax-
ton's "LBJ" song, she added an-
other song that included these
lines :
We are not here to sing
We are here to kill the dove.
Miss Collins, in several of her
songs disparages the 'carefree life
of the folk singer who wants to be
'collected' more than anything"
as well as the lives of those who
would be social recluses. In Coh-
en's "Suzanne," she singst:
And you want to travel with her

And you want to travel blind,
For she's touched your perfect
body
With her mind.
In her hectic schedule of con-
certs and recordings, Miss Collins
professes that her love of music
justifies it all.

'Blow-Up
By RICHARD AYERS
Michelangelo Antonioni sur-
prises the public with each new
film he makes; his mode of ex-
pression changes so radically be-
tween "Eclipse" and "Red Desert,"
and "Red Desert" and "Blow-up"
that one's expectations are never

in an excitingly new way each
time. These concerns are: (1) the
nature of a mechanized society
and the neurotic products of that
society, and (2) an investigation of
"objective reality" and peoples' in-
teraction with that.
In "Blow-up," David Hemmings

the establishment of the Board
by the Regents.
"The question recently raised by
the Board in Control itself and by
the members of the faculty Senate
Advisory Committee on University
Affairs is pertinent, and it is also
of concern to the Regents. That
question is whether the present
structure, responsibility, purposes
and, procedures of the Board in
Control are adequate to the pres-
ent day needs of a University of
35,000 students, 40 per cent of
whom are' already beyond their
undergraduate years. The Univer-

sity Regents have further ques-
tions about the total needs of the
University for internal and ex-
ternal communications.
"As for other questions which
have arisen in the past few days,
I say only this. First, Regents'
conversations with the President
are private matters. I do not dis-
cuss them .Second, The Daily has
had nearly 16 years of non-inter-
ference from mepained as I have
been at times by its youthful
harshness and by the occasional
damage to the University which I
and others have labored quietly
to repair."
