ARTS R& LETTERS:
Condemns Electronic Music'

THIS WEEK'S EVENTS

STIRTON'S BABY:
Industry, Education
Unite at Dearborn

7
A

By STEVEN HALLER
and JEFFREY K. CHASE
"The label 'electronic music' is
a misnomer: a composition may
be either electronic or music, but
not both," Wolfgang Sawallisch,
permanent conductor of the Vien-
na Symphony, said here recently.
He explained that an electric
sound source can be seriously con-
sidered only as a source of sound
and not as a source of music be-
cause the sound source and the
compositional procedure are two
entirely separate factors.
Many people do not think of the
twelve-tone compositions of the
"Viennese School" Arnold Schoen-
berg and his disciples Alban Berg
and Anton Webern) as music. but
rather as random sounds. Yet such
people are wrong, Sawallisch not-
ed.
Technique Plus Instruments
He explained that these works
are music for two reasons: they
employ a strict compositional tech-
nique and their sounds emanate
from musical instruments.
"We offered the Webern 'Six
Pieces for Orchestra' as a possible
selection to all cities in which we
played during our tour. Of these
cities, only Ann Arbor and Ithaca
requested the Webern work."
Since Ann Arbor and Ithaca are
both college towns, this might in-
dicate that avant-garde music is
better appreciated in such edu-
cational environments.
Not Appreciated
Sawallisch noted that the music
of Anton Bruckner is not greatly
appreciated in this country, al-;
though that composer is much re-
vered in Austria and Germany.
"There it is possible to schedule

a program consisting entirely of
one Bruckner symphony, which
may run an hour or more in
length.," he said.
He added that players and the
conductor are much closer to the
feeling of the music; for that
reason, performances of Bruckner's
works are more successful there
than in this country.

far more evident in Europe than
in this country. "In West Germany
alone there are 54 different
theaters, each of which has its own
orchestra.
"In addition, there are about 10
radio symphony orchestras whose
principal function is to provide
concerts for the listening public.
These orchestras are all full-
fledged symphony orchestras sim-
ilar to the NBC Symphony that
Arturo Toscanini once conducted.
"Each radio station also has an
orchestra to provide music for
commercials and background pur-
poses and even an additional or-
chestra to handle dance music,"
he said.
Better Chance
Under these circumstances, it is
obvious that an aspiring musician
has a far greater chance to learn
his trade and to display his tal-
ents in Europe than be would in
this country, he noted.
Many American conductors have
found it to their advantage to
start out their musical career in
Europe. Among these are Lorin
Maazel and Dean Dixon.
Sawallisch noted that Dixon's
was a special case, however. As a
Negro, Dixon is faced with special
problems in trying to pursue a
musical career in this country.
Foreign Acclaim
Mazzel has met with much ac-
claim abroad; but Sawallisch
pointed out that this conductor
was most successful when he con-
ducted works which called for a
large amount of brilliance, a char-
acteristic quality of Maazel's
style.

ing Stirton says.
To ease their employee short-
ages, the firms had come to ask
for the establishment of a joint
program whereby University stu-
dents would alternate between a
semester working on campus and
a semester working in industry.
For the firms, such an arrange-
ment would give them early-rooted
ties with potential employees and
advantages for hiring evaluations.
But the University was not im-
mediately sold on the plan, Stirton
recalls.
"Industry had come to us," Stir-
ton emphasizes. "The University
wanted to be in the driver's seat
to structure a step-by-step ad-
vancement program for our stu-
dents-studying at Dearborn and
working for industry."
Their plan, to cost induustry
some $10.5 million for buildings
and land, stressed the following
features, which the companies also
found acceptable:
1) a two-year senior college
offering limited graduate pro-

grams expanding to a capacity of
1,650 on-campus students.
Specifically, the college would
present a tri-divisional selection
of courses.
2) a comprehensive policy to
help eliminate the threefold man-
power problem. Called the "coop-
erative education plan," it offered
an internship program for all en-
gineering and business adminis-
tration students.
3) an exciting new educational
venture, the trimester system, was
officially to be instituted by 1960.
In October of 1959, the Stirton
hybrid opened on what he calls
its "insulated, yet isolated" 212-
acre campus. Located in the heart
of the southeastern industrial
complex, the four shining struc-
tures rose amidst farmland and
forest on part of the wooded estate
of Henry Ford.
Without tax funds, Stirton and
the University had set an exam-
ple for education-industry coop-
eration. He was now ready to build
a good name for the University.
(TUESDAY: Spreading the im-
age of the maize and blue).

WOLFGANG SAWALLISCH
"When one hears a truly fine
performance of Bruckner's music
in the United States, it is often
traceable to the number of Euro-
pean players in the orchestra or
to a conductor of European de-
scent," he continued.
European Interest
Sawallisch added that a strong
interest in music in general is
