H. to sir up interest. In such A way the= council can show that it is a potential instrument of not only communication but action with re- spect to pertinent issues. What sort of problems do graduate students recognize? Without having polled all eight or nine thousand of them (almost half the total student body) it is hard to say. Perhaps they are dissatisfied with administrative procedures, or would like,to have a voice in deciding what such procedures shall be. Perhaps the rapidly changing and expanding graduate school has some academic anachronisms or other imper- fections which the administration and faculty cannot see or will not deal with from its posi- tion. Perhaps there are some Who object to the current emphasis on research; who would like to see teaching considered an important skill, or the liberal arts receive some of the attention lavished on scientific pursuits. Student affairs might be an area of latent action-an area in which undergraduate par- ticipation is at a high level of activity, be it political, intellectual, or social in emphasis. FINALLY, there might even be broader is- sues, not necessarily oriented to this cam- pus or even the academic communities, on which the council, with its presumably intelli- gent and trained constituency, might see fit to take stands. When H. Chandler Davis was dismissed from his teaching post because he questioned the right of the United States gov- ernment to dictate his political convictions, the council drew up a statement on academic free- dom that implicitly defined the grounds on which such dismissal is warranted. Had the council been stronger it might have done more. Even if graduates are only discontented with- driving and parking regulations, the Council is still an instrument through which they could, if they would, exercise considerable influence. A PRIMARY decision for the council is that of the kind of representation it endorses. The present constitution provides for students elected by the departments (if the department has some formal group of its own) or ap- pointment by the department chairman. If there are responsible, active individuals who will get themselves elected, this system will work. If not, then departments lacking them will foist the position off on unsuspecting non- entities. A small group of representatives elect- ed by popular vote, as the SGC members are, might in this case prove more effective. Improving representation and communica- tion is a good thing; and the council should be commended for its concern. In addition, however, open discussions of issues pertinent to graduates, led by council officers and in- cluding faculty and administrative representa- tion, might be a method for discovering areas in which the council can obtain student oartici- pation and support, and thus be more mean- ingful and powerful. -ANDREW HAWLEY -- . 9 . ยข.'

THE SONATA IN D for Flute and Harpsichord by Pietro Loca- telli-a modern-sounding , piece with practically an operatic aria as a slow. movement - allowed Hauenstein rather more room for solo display. His deft performance delighted the audience. A Suite in C by Marin Marais, transcribed by Clyde Thompson, contained some of the most in- teresting music of the evening. The last movement was a long chaconne with many surprises. IT ,IS SAID that the dance movements in eighteenth century suites are idealized-to be listened to rather than danced to. Never- theless, the tempi taken in certain- of the dance movements, especially the Loure, the Gavotte, and the Menuet, would have made dancing difficult. A dark-hued Trio Sonata in G- minor, by Johann Rosenmuller, the only seventeenth century com- poser in the group, sounded not very different in style from the other works. The ever-elegant Telemann was represented by a Trio Sonata in C-minor. The last work on the program was a Trio Sonata In C-minor by J. J. Quantz, known to musicians, or musical historians at least, pri- marily for his great flute Method. (Quantz was in the employ of Frederick the Great, an ardent amateur flutist.) It is a very beautifully composed work, per- haps the most impressive composi-. tion of the evening. What a pleasure to hear an evening of music which is all art and no message! -David Sutherland The Baroque Trio Nelson Hauienstein, flute Florian Mueller, oboe Marilyn Mason. harpsichord assisted b, Clyde Thompson, double-bassf Trio Sonata in C minor Telemann Sonata in D for Oboe and Harpsichord Romnain First suite in .C from 'Pieces in Trio' Marais Trio Sonata In C minor Rosenmuller - Sonata in D for Flute and Harpsichord Locatelli Trio Sonata In C minor Quantz 'GENERATION,' FALL ISSUE: The Language Barrier )M OTHER CAMPUSES: Work Helps Carry Bond Issue LETTERS: Notes 'Clods' MHIS GENERATION reminds one how hard it is to write. Only one of the three short stories, Sault Stahl's "The White Line,', really gets free from all the old tangles, and avoids pre- tensions. The language is crisp and clear, aware of itself without seeming to be: "Jagged oak leaves caught in the spiked grass in spite of the wind." The story is alive with detail, and alive with an oddity and wry exuberance that comes to a nicely twisted point. This is a real piece of work. The other two stories have their troubles, a little unsteady and unsure of themselves, a little awkward and leggy. r , , IN JAMES CLARK'S "The End of Summer" we hear "the harsh complaint of a blueay" and ap- proach the protagonist through a quaint steropticon of a de- vice: "He was a short man who might have been thirty or forty years old." Doesn't Mr. Clark know? He knows everything else, and he knows how to bring it back alive too: "She ran out over the new yellow pine planks, warmed by the sun, and knelt to stare down into the water at the end of the dock as though she hoped to find something in the lake that she hadn't been able to see be- fore." But even he immediately falls into something about "a clumsy boy who has captured a butterfly." The story as a whole doesn't come to much, though it tries. along with the language, to get at something moving and authentic. WILLIAM VANCE'S "The Shal- lows" has even more of the au- thentic, particularly in the dia- logue and in the white-haired out- door man, Jip. The events are evidently close to experience. But the language-Harold Bell Wright rides again: "I could but watch and feel in a kind of un- familiar ecstasy"-"sped"-"hid- den from view"-"I had expected twelve weeks of work and but ten had passed"-"Did he pray as their number diminished, as they forgot or cursed whatever high spirits or economic necessity had brought them to this barren do- main to live by killing the beasts that dwelled here, and to build this church wherein.. . .?" Land- lord, fill the flowing mustache, cup. M * . * JEAN SPENCER'S essay on "The American Gothic" is an- other example of how not to do it. The idiom is different from Mr. Vance's, of course. But this is rational exposition done in cur- licues, with plenty of ellipses and even, it seems at. one reading, some non sequiturs, a thin thesis gone arty, jargon spun fine: "The Gothic literary convention, ex- ploiting the vitality of violence, death and decay with stylized horror . . . "-"Psychology con- tributed information illuminating the popularity" (pry that one apart)--"the three principle men in Sanctuary are sterile, emas- culated." there with this one, beautifully set with its last line though it is; but it is sound, dependable, interest- ing writing. It shows us how it is done. X. J. Kennedy: Again, a poet arrived; again, not at his very best, but so sure and witty as to green us all with envy. THE POEMS that really go home to me are two translations: Bernard Keith's of Raymond Queneau, and Konstantinos Lar- das's of K. P. Kavafis. The last I like the better, I think - probably because it's Greek and has that strange Medi- terranean sadness and poise be- fore death, the oldest subject of all. Lardas's other poem is good, too. As I say, there is a feel of com- petence in the poetry most of the way. Nancy Willard's "Mixed Marriage," neat and smooth and pleasant, is probably the most fin- ished piece in the magazine. * * * IN ADDITION, there are etch- ings (probably something else, really) by Sam Morello. Except for two recognizable nudes and some lightly drawn hashmarks- and squiggles, they seem. a waste of space. They might look better on a wall. The music, setting a poem of Michael Spitzer's to tenor, flute, and two clarinets, I shall have to leave for more competent judges. Composer: Alexander Pollatsek. The magazine is attractively arranged, poetry and prose alter- natign in clusters. The cover is good and Steinbergish. There is plenty of interest. But some of the writing, as I have said, seems from another generation. -Sheridan Baker IN OR OUT? The Research Scientist's Limbo EE LONG sought after, hard-worked-for Universities Bond Issue has carried. 'he result to the University has been ex- ined many times before. We will not attempt enumerate them now. 'here are, however, a number of valuable e benefits or lessons that have been learned ing the campaign. RST, this Bond Issue did not pass because of any spontaneous interest in higher educa- a by the people of this state. t passed because a relatively large number of ple strained and pushed for several months. What the University did here in publicity I, whether it likes to admit it or not, in bying and just plain politicking, could well ve as an example for action in the future. this case it was on safe political grounds h both parties supporting the Bond Issue. there is no reason to believe that the same d action could not bring more favorable re- s from Springfield in the future. is we have said before the Bond Issue will solve any long run problems. Political ac- s in the future will still be necessary. Joseph S. Begando, assistant to the president, put in long hours all during the campaign di- recting the statewide effort. His small Illini Hall office has been cluttered with publicity material and his desk piled with work. George Bargh, administrative assistant to the president, also knows what late hours are like. Both men took on the job of pushing the Bond Issue in addition to their regular jobs. THE UNIVERSITY'S "apathetic" students came through also. Publicity, speakers, the bumper sticker campaign, football game greet- ings and Block I stunts went on continuously. The crowning occasion came last weekend with the combined Universities Torch Run mar- athon. Sixty exhausted runners ended up in Chica- go's Loop last Saturday after finishing the final lap of a 1,795-mile trip that encompassed most of the state. There is little doubt as to the value of the Torch Run politically. It carried a personal appeal from the students involved to the voters. It created support in down-state communities where local political organizations were afraid to push the Bond Issue because its unpopularity might result in harm to local candidates. In Chicago it reinforced support, lessening the possibility of failure through a lack of voting. THE CALIBER of job produced by these stu- dents should give ample notice to any Uni- versity official who would still like to consider college students as children. Particularly creditable was the performance of T. L. Eovaldi, director of the campus com- By PETER STEINBERGER Daily Staff Writer THE RESEARCH scientist at the University is in a peculiar position. He may earn more than any of his counterparts on the teaching faculty-but he could, theoreti- cally, be dismissed as soon as the contracted research he is working on is cancelled by Its sponsor. He is unhampered by a teaching load (a freedom professors can only dream about) and devotes all his time to research, often in the newest and most exciting fields. Yet he can't join the University Club, and his wife is excluded from many faculty wife 'in' groups. * * THE STATUS OF research scientists is a problem which has appeared chiefly in the past 15 years. Before World War II there was little contracted research done at universities. After it, the federal government, feeling the necessity of keeping the nation ahead of Russia (and all other countries) in scientific and especially mili- tary fields, began to award col- leges contracts for specified re- search projects. , Today the federal government supplies about $22 million of the University's total sponsored re- search budget of $25 million; this share will continue to grow, and it is expected that eventually as much as half of the University's total budget will be devoted to research. Thus the research scien- tists is very definitely here to stay. * * . NO ONE REALIZES this as clearly as the scientists themselves. The demand made by some that research people be given tenure brings up the ambiguity of univer- sity policy in this area. As teach-. ing professors tend to point out, tenure (appointment until age of retirement, with dismissal only for duly specified offenses to be handled by duly specified meth- ods) arose from the desire of medieval professors to be free To the Editor: HAVING been in this University for a year already, and also having been a reader of yourspr that long, I think that I am uali- fied to criticize your criticizers, I.e. your movie, play, and music reviewers are to me a bunch of clods. Almost every movie review is prefaced by three or four feeble Jokes which have ! no purpose in serious criticism, but which the reviewer puts in to show that hj can be as witty as Time's review- ers. Aside from this, when, at odd times the reviewer does get down to actually' appraising the film, he more often than not will gloss over it and just talk about what is on the surface, and not what is implicit or unstated. This is especially true when foreign mo- vies are put up on the block- some of the most serious and moving stories are treated as "John's Other Wife" or some oth- er soap story. There can be no intelligent reviewing wherethe re- viewer does not even perceive what is transpiring on the screen. Re- view of plays also show the same insensitivity to value which should be used in judging a work of art, or just a pretender to that posi- tion. What is the, purpose, of- a re- view? It should be to "steer the student right," to direct him to the good things that are going on, Well, in your own perverse' way, you do that. The Daily re- views have become something of a joke on campus-a panning re- view from it is a guarantee of a good shotw. -Steven Hendel, '63 unwise . . To the Editor: AT A RECENT meeting of the Americans Committes to World Responsibility, Pr of. Samuel Hayes stated that it would be "unwise to demand linking of a Youth Corps with draft exemp- tion." Prof. Hayes' argument seems to assume that there would be no direct connection between the Armed Forces and a Youth Corps, turning the question of Youth Corps vs. conventional military service into an ither/or propsi- tior This would indeed be un- wise,. The proposed Youth Corps should be a governmental agency operating solely under the juris- diction of the State Dept., and drawing its personnel both from qualified civil service workers and equally qualified members of all the Armed Forces, be they draftees or career servicemen and women, This would eliminate he ques- tion of draft exemption by mak- ing such service coincide with the military obligation. But perhaps the greatest bene- fits of such saton,would be in ' freeing the intelligent, concerned young men of this country from the inevitable bitterness and alien- ation that results from being forc- ed into the atmosphere of ineffi- ciency, boredom, anti-intellectual- ism, and downright stupidity which dominates conventional military life: From military phi- losophy which assumes, necessar- ily, that blind obedience is the greatest virtue, and that the aver- age soldier is of semi-moronie mentality, needing everything ex- plained to him in terms of Sex, God, and The American Flag. This sort of environment, as I know from personal experience, is enough to shake any intelligent American's faith in his country, his fellow-men, and his hopes for peace and a better world. -Harris Liechti BUT OTHERS POINT out that while freedom from religious per-, secution may have been a good cause for awarding tenure 700 years ago, it has little to do with colleges today. Investigating com- mittees of this century have also shown a disinclination to distin- guish between sedition vocale, sedition semi-vocale, and sedition Inutum, Last year the University allowed research scientists with anincome equal to that of the average as- sociate professor to participate in TIAA, the group retirement plan that all professors can join. Until then, all research workers were covered by the University's own ERP (Employe's Retirement Plan), which covers all non-academic employes of the University. ERP, of course, cannot be con- tinued at another school if the policy holder moves, as can the other plan. Salaries for research scientists scientists are determined by the "going rate" for personnel, which is set in the competition among professional research organiza- tions and the universities. Salaries for the teaching faculty tend to be more stable-partly, of course, be- cause the competition is not as severe. An administrative dean reported that "The University doesn't hire full time research people according to set status and set salary; we pay them for what they do." The situation at most other large schools is quite similar. Many research scientists have complained that they ought to be granted sabbatical leaves as are members of the teaching facul- ty. Here again, teaching profes- sors say that the purpose of a sabbatical is to give the professor time off from his teaching chores so he can devote himself to re- search, and thus full-tine re- searchers are on a full time sabba- tical. Research people, while ad- mitting that this is for all intents and purposes true, nevertheless suggest that there might-just possibly-be a slight difference between their work and the burden property of teaching faculties. But, although they are certainly' in- creasingly important in terms of numbers, research people are not now part of the university in the same way that students and fa- culty are. They cannot vote in the University. Senate, and their work (often conducted far from -the maincampus) also tends to isolate them. The University has tried as much as possible to unite its teaching and its researchers; ..many men come to work on research, and later accept teaching posts. But some men do not both teach and do research work; the nature of some research makes this impos- sible. The University has not yet decided that these men belong to the school as fundamentally as do the teaching faculties. , The real question, however, is how the researchers themselves will feel. If they wish to become partners, the University and its philosophy will gain that much more importance in the decisions affecting future events. If the re- searchers decide they are not closely connected with the rest of the University, then the Univer- sity and its philosophy will be the poorer for losing their support, and the more isolated for lacking their understanding.
