f "It Must be Fine To Have a College Education" SIDELINE . Q: SGC: a Are F? UNDER AUHOiRTY OF BOARD C CoNTRoL Of STUDENT PUucATom Preval" Calendaring Process Needs Revision By PAT GOLDEN Daily Staff Writer STUDENT GOVERNMENT Council, through its calendaring proces recently denied approval to a Political Issues Club showing of movie "Operation Abolition," after the event had taken place. The action culminated a year-long series of violations of cal daring procedures by the club. SGC President John Feldkamp has E a letter to PIC outlining its calendaring misdemeanors and suggest that most of the problems would be alleviated if the group filed calendaring forms two weeks prior to proposed events. Most of PIC's violations have been either releasing publicity bef gaining Council approval for events, or asking for approval at THE JOYCE COUNTRY: The Man and His Artifacts THE JOYCE COUNTRY by William York Tindall. 164 pp. Pennsylvania State University Press. $5.95. By X. J. KENNEDY JAMES JOYCE has become a secular saint in an age when many a saint of the church has had fewer petitioners. Though it isn't yet true that relics of Joyce are curing the scrofula of the pious, we learn from William York Tindall's preface to this admirable new picture-book that already, on a recent Bloomsday, June 16, a band of modern pil- grims has retraced the footsteps of Leopold Bloom as Joyce direct- ed them through Dublin in ULYSSES; and one has heard that Joyce's ashplant walking- stick sold recently at auction for a price higher than a medieval cathedral might have paid for a shinbone of Simeon Stylites. All this close attention to Joyce the man would be sillir if it weren't that Joyce the man is so hard to distinguish from his ar- tifacts. Whatever we may learn of him may bring us nearer to an understanding of his work - an understanding which, for all the recent efforts of Richard Ellmann and other critics, does not yet seem near its limits. Now comes Professor Tindall, armed with his Zeiss Super Ikonta B (f 2.8 lens), to capture for us the streets and landscapes in which Joyce tells his one-story-and-one-story-only -to capture them more lucidly, perhaps, than the myopic Joyce ever may have been fortunate enough to view them. NOT THAT THIS idea is a new one. In 1950 Patricia Hutchins, in her picture-book James Joyce's Dublin, collected a rasher of old mugshots of Jevvy Jim and his relatives, a few Dublin street- scenes of near-1904 vintage, and some arty views of ripples in the River Liffey. But Tindall's is a book of another order. No mis- cellany, his, nor a Joyce family album. In chronological order, his 78 photographs in The Joyce Country bring us a series of views of Howth Castle and environs as they might appear to Joyce's characters. The book opens with a distant prospect of the Pigeon House, on the way to which the schoolboys meet a feelthy old man in Joyce's first story in Dubliners. There follow views of the playing- fields of Clongowes as Stephen may have seen them in Portrait of the Artist, of Martello Tower, of the stairhead from which Buck Milligan emerges with a bowl of lather at the beginning of Ulysses. Following in the footsteps of Flunky KENT; Ohio (P) - A dozen or so undergraduates are back in classes at Kent State University because the faculty discovered that a calculating machine had flipped ,its digits. The machine is fed a perforated card for each course, for each 1tinan+t rTi n latrni a i-e r , nt Leopold Bloom, Tindall snaps the statue of Tom Moore through the fence of a urinal, and probes with camera eye the cabman's shelter where Bloom and Stephen take refuge. There's a shot of Bloom's lodgings at 7 Eccles Street - which to get to, one is startled to learn, the caller must vault a spiky fence and drop into a basement - and at last, views of the waking world of Finnegans Wake: H. C. Earwicker's pub, Phoenix Park, Glendalough grave- yard. * * * TINDALL, WHO FOR years now has been writing books on. Joyce and conducting graduate students through the holy scrip- tures at Columbia, is as knowing a guide as you'd wish for. Op- posite each photograph is a blurb, helpful and at time droll (the statue of Sir Philip Cramton, monument to a Dublin personage whose significance no one has been able to recall, Tindall brands "a degenerate artichoke"). There are page references, for those who wish to read with The Joyce Coun- try in one hand andUlysses in the other. The photographs, unlikely to take prizes in camera annuals, record like a series of faintly stodgy postcards the present face of dear old dirty Dublin. There are no fancy angle-shots, no closeups of seashells or Guinness-steins. The everydayness of them - you somehow have the feeling that given the same equipment just about anybody could take pic- tures as good as these -- is some- how relevant to Joyce's world. If some are trivia, what trivia in Joyce may not be momentous? For Joyce creates a secular world in which, if there isn't a Eucharist, there's a cup of cocoa for emblem of it. Though cluttered with Volks- wagens and people in contem- porary tweeds, Tindall's pictures seem to convey as much of the gist of the Dublin of Bloom as the camera still can capture. Purists will regret that the lying- in hospital in which Mrs. Pure-; foy of Ulysses gave birth is today refaced as a iodern medical cen- ter, and that the Red Light dis- trict where Stephen and Bloom held Walpurgisnacht is now nearly all rubble -- hence omitted from Tindall's book as part of the ir- recoverable past. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Kennedy, a poet now an L.S. & A. English in- structor, once took a guided tour through Dublin's Guinness brew- ery.) Disarming "Disarmament Is not primarily a technical problem . . . . . it is not the ,complexity that blocks an agreement; the trouble is that the negotiating parties have not made up their minds whether they do or do not want to reach an agreement. It may be that in the past one of the two sides has wanted to agree. We cannot know that because there never has been an agreement or anything ap- proaching one to put this to the test. But we are sure that never have both sides at the same time wanted an agreement, because if they had there would have been one."-(Thomas K. Finletter, for- mer Secretary of the Air Force.) . late a date. This week, both the Young Republicans and the Young Americans for Freedom received mild Council reprimand for the same violations. All three organizations deal with current events and with poli- tical activity. In many of their programs timeliness is a most valuable element. In the case of PIC's latest violation, the pro- gram featured a University of ,California student with a wealth of pertinent information, who happened to be passing through Ann Arbor on short notice. SUCH OPPORTUNITIES for meaningful activities are bound to occur when the nature of the organization is political. There are several partial solutions to the conflict between important pro- grams which develop on short notice and the proper control of studenit activities by SGC. The Council has attempted to streamline the calendaring pro- cess by permitting the approval of events in interim action, there- by waiving the two-week notice stipulation. This process, however, is still considered a special privi- lege. Feldkamp says that many of the events that arise on short notice should be incorporated into re- gular sessions of the groups, thus circumventing the calendaring procedure entirely. Calendaring is necessary for outside speakers and for programs which are open to the campus at large, * * * PIC PRESIDENT SHARON Jef- frey, '63, said her group dislikes having programs at closed meet- ings because one of its primary aims is to make the campus aware of current issues through speakers, movies and other pre-. sentations. It is true that while some calendaring processes can be cir- cumvented by having special pro- grams at closed meetings, the campus misses an opportunity to hear informed persons speak on vital issues each time activities are closed. The resulting learning ,experiences should not be denied to the campus if vital programs arise on short notice. The Council also feels that groups are not fair to the campus if they hold an activity on such short notice that adequate pub- licity is impossible. This is true, but is it more fair to eliminate public participation in or atten- dance at the activity altogether? * * * THE PROBLEM CANNOT be solved with any quick formula. The groups will have to comply with present SGC regulations or run the risk of losing their Uni- versity recognition. They must make every effort to plan in ad- vance, and to completely fill calendaring requirements as early as possible when scheduling an activity. The Council, too, has an obliga- tion: it must consider ways to further streamline the calendar- process, so that it maintains con- trol over scheduling of activites, yet does not stand in'the way of valuable, timely programs which active student organizations wish ' to present to: the campus. start GET THIS piece off to a merrier and faster start thai last night's concert by the Rober Shaw Chorale and Orchestra, must begin after intermission. Upon the conclusion of Mr Shaw's uniquely lengthly proces for installing a small ensemble o a large stage with a maximum o: time and pseudo regimentation we heard the oratorio Jephthah by Gia'como Carissimi (1605-1674). Outstanding in this performance were the solo parts of Jeptha' daugther, and, most especially Jeptha himself. Not only did the singer have superb musical control over his voice and great artistic sense, he was also able to act through sing. ing, to project the mixed feelings of a father who must sacrifice his beloved daughter to assure victory in combat. * 5 9 THE CONCLUDING - work on the program was the ever popular Ceremony of Carols of Benjamir Britten. This short fast work, for chorus' and solo harp, has an as- tonishing variety. of sonic effects and moods. Most amazing to me is the last,' Deo Gracias, whic' succeeds in sounding so much like Stravinsky's Les Noces, while stil being obviously evocative of the "golden age of English chora music." The performance was brilliant I can no longer postpone dis- cussion of the opening number which was exercable. Not-the work; for J. S. Bach's motet, Singet den Herrn, is a joyous, exultant thing; but the presentation, which was not. The difficulty in performing this piece stems from its extreme contrasts. The two outer sections are, or should be brisk and gay, while the middle section proffers a, mood of sublime peace. Lasi night, the peace of the middle section seeped out in both direc- tions and dominated all three. * * ., THIS WAS A PITY, for there were-good things: the chorus was well-balanced, antiphonal effects were distinct but not overdrawn the diction was good, the enun- clation excellent. But the mood of peace destroyed it all; too mucl communion with the empyrear leads only to sublime boredom The opening section was dirge- like in tempo, monotonous in dy. namics. The final section featured the only spark of life of . the whole: a slight crescendo towardi the end. heard it so unmoving. According to the program notes the infrequentness of perfor- mances of Haydn's Last Words of Christ is something of a mystery Although the Chorale and espe- cially the orchestra made a bold effort last night, and seemed to give a fine performance, the mystery is, to these ears, solved. -.Philip Benkard.
