WESTERN MUSIC:
Pro Musica Opens Rich Past
This Week's Events
ARTS AND LETTERS:
Harris Views Theater Tours
By RICHARD MERCER
1
When Noah Greenberg formed
the New York Pro Musica in 1952,
he sought to open a broad avenue
leading into the rich past of West-
erni music.
For years the focus of musical
attention had been on the 19th
century, with a few 18th century
composers represented to complete
the picture.
"We were kind of missionaries
in the start," Greenberg said, but
added that since then a genuine
audience has developed with
enough knowledge of early and
High Renaissance music to allow'
the group a real freedom of selec-
tion of works from this extremely
rich source of music literature.
Need Translation
Yet regardless of the knowledge
of the audience, the performer
must "translate into the moment
the beauty of the music," Green-
burg said.
In speaking of the increasing
attention given to pre-18th century
music, he noted the important role
which is being played by the
relatively new discipline of musi-
cology. The musicologist is, in his
way, a type of pioneer who has
opened vast stores of music writ-
ten between the years 700 an
1700.
By taking advantage of the
scholar's research, it is now pos-
sible to present musical pictures
of ages that have been only
slightly known and rarely heard
in the past. Yet only part of the
work is accomplished by the musi-
cologist, and it remains the job
of the performer to bring his
imagination to the work before it
is ready for presentation to an
audience, Greenberg said.
No Indications
When dealing with music writ-
ten so long ago, it is not enough
to have a well-notated score, for in
ensemble music composed before
1600 there are no indications of
tempo, volume or instrumentation.
The work that must be done b3.

been left by time and the con-
ventions of Renaissance composi-
tion. They must make a practical
edition of each piece they intend
to perform, Greenberg said.
In effect, they are given a kind
of semi-refined raw material
which they must further study and
ornament beiure they present it to
the public.
The discovery and study of so
much Renaissance and baroque
music has enabled the musical
world to take a new look at itself,
in addition to expanding the gen-
eral musical fare of the public.
In a sense, the musical world is
discovering itself oy becoming ac-
quainted with its past, while the
public is reaping the rewards of
music that had for hundreds of
years been forgotten, he said.

"There is nothing that proves as
damaging to theater as an enor-
mous auditorium. It is absolute
death to certain forms of drama,"
Robert Harris said concerning one
of the shortcomings of national
touring.
Harrisrhas been touring in the
leadirng role of "A Man For All
Seasons" since October. "With a
bnge audience, however, can you
ccmmunieate subtelty? And worst
of all, the actors will get accus-
tome&_ to using microphones, which
is disgusting. It isn't real theater,"
he said.
Face Forward
"An actor can't turn his back or
is scared to move his head to th,
side in fear that his words will be
lost. He is almost playing directly
face forward to the audience."
Harris, who by his own admis-
sion has done "masses" of radio
and television work both here and
abroad, directed his interest to-
wards a comparison of the Ameri-
can theatrical arts with those of
his native Great Britain.
The quality of dramatic presen-
tation in radio and television is
superior in Britain," he said.
"There is more of a market there
for good drama, and one does
satisfy the public's demands."
Leisurely Productions
Harris next pointed out the
amount of American commercial-
ism which manifests itself in the
speed of television production. In
London, he said, the productions
are more leisurely, with more time
in rehearsal. "Naturally, a better
quality will result."
The BBC is way, way ahead of
American radio, he claimed. They
have three programs or types of
broadcasting material: "light,"
"home" and the "third program,"
which uses first class drama. "Do
you ever hear anything worthwhile
on the American radio?" The BBC
even has its own resident repertory
company of a.orut 40 people.
Although television is in de-
mand, the standard of the music
and drama on radio is so high
that many people simply prefer
to listen to it, he claimed. Besides,
he said, "they aren't constantly

Four state teachers' universitiesv
in Illinois will have all copy in
their student newspapers censored
by a faculty appointee in the fu-
ture, the Daily Illini reports.
The policy will apply to Illinois
State University at Normal, and
Eastern, Western and Northern
Illinois Universities.
The action follows the firing of

the editor of Eastern State News
John Wood several weeks ago.
Wood attempted to publish an al-
legedly libelous story concerning
the university's building program.
He had failed to submit the ar-
ticle to Kenneth Hesler, faculty
adviser to the News.
Connie Schneider, who has been
appointed to Wood's position, said
that "the action of the Illinois
Teachers' College Board poses a
limitation to our fullest freedom
of expression."
According to the board's policy
statement, "a competent faculty
sponsor shall have the- right to
examine all copy presented for
publication, including headlines,
and be authorized to correct and
edit copy to meet the standards
of accuracy and good usage and,
finally, he shall scan proofs of
each page of type and have the
authority usually vested in the
director of a privately owned pub-
lication of general circulation."
Miss Schneider said that the
adviser will be, "in effect, the
editor if he desires."
According to Royal A. Stipes,
head of the board, the new policy
does not in fact amount to cen-
sorship. Each university has al-
ways had a similar policy but has
never formalized it before, he said.
Wood agreed with this state-
ment, noting that Eastern Illi-
nois University has always had the
power to suppress news in the
student papers.
Hesler said that he foresees "no
changes, or plans no changes," in
his practices or duties as a result
of the board announcement.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 19 j

THURSDAY, FEB. 20
4:10 p.m.-Prof. George Kline of
Bryn Mawr College will speak on
"Science and Philosophy in Soviet
Russia" in the Multipurpose Rm.
of the UGLI.
7:30 p.m.-Makoto Fujita, Exe-
cutive Secretary of the World
University Service in Japan, will
speak on "Japanese Students in

phony Orchestra, conducted by
Wolfgang Sawallisch, will be heaid
in concert at Hill Aud. The con-
cert, part of the University Musi-
cal Society's Extra Series, will in-
clude "Concerto Grosso, Op. 4,

for Orchestra" by Webern, Schu-
bert's "Unfinished Symphony" and
"Macbeth," a symphonic poem by
Strauss.

gineering enrollment has de-
creased during the past several
years, but the post-war baby
boom makes it absolutely certain
that this trend will be reversed,"
Dean James C. 1Mouzon, of the
engineering college, remarked re-
cently.
Ie added, however, that he does
not know if the number of engi-
neering students will increase in
proportion to other areas of study.
Although current engineering
enrollment at the University
shows a slight increase over last
year, the college presently has al-
most 450 fewer undergraduates
than in 1957-58. These changes in
enrollment correspond approxi-
mately to national figures. Accord-
ing to a Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare report,
engineering freshmen enrollments
in the United States increased last
fall for the first time in six years.
Dean Mouzon commented that
the tendency of industries to give
the title of engineer to unqualified
people may detract from the im-
age of engineering as a good ca-
reer. "Students see the type of
work that these unqualified men
are doing discouraging their am-
bitions in the field of engineering,"
he said.
He noted that, in an attempt to
improve the engineering image,
the University has increased per-
sonal contact with high school
students.
interrupted by those disconceiting
commercials."
Resident Companies
There are no actual drama
courses in English universities, al-
though most of the universities
are theater-minded and have resi-
dent companies of their own,
Harris noted.
Thus, young actors, must get
their experience directly in the
theatrical world. There are several
small theaters in the center of
London, especially the Royal Court,
which are open for young talent.
But all theater should start in
the theater, Harris cautioned.
There are different specific tech-
niques needed for the stage, tele-

Negro's Needs
In Universites
Vice-President for Academic Af-
fairs Roger W. Heyns, N. Edd Mil-
ler, an assistant to the vice-pres-
ident, and Leonard F. Sain, a
special assistant to the director of
admissions, travel to Wisconsin
today to participate in the 2nd
Inter-University Conference on
the Negro in Higher Education.
Sponsored jointly by the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin and the
Johnson Foundation, the confer-
ence aims to produce "an action
blue-print for colleges and univer-
sities throughout the country in
their efforts to upgrade Negro edu-
cation."
The University sponsored the
initial conference, heldhere in
October.

vision and the movie camera. Once
good techniques are mastered on
the stage, it is rather simple to
fall into the other fields.
Little Training
Television, he declared, is one
of the worst beginnings for an
actor. Of course, one thinks of
money, but the actor picks up
some money and comes out of the
experience with as little training
as before. This form can't train
in movement and full expression.
Repertory theater is a form
which has definite advantage for
an actor in training. It stretches
his imagination and gives disci-
pline in role study and stage
movement. But, Harris said, it is
only a training ground, and the
actor shouldn't stay any longer
than he has to.
