ARTS AND LETTERS:
Stokowski Views Conductors
THIS WEEK'S
EVENTS
n
By JEFFREY K. CHASE
Upon meeting Leopold Stokowski
one is immediately awed by the
stateliness and air of self-assur-
ance which the man conveys.
His many assignments as an or-
chestral conductor make him a
qualified person to discuss the
requisites of his profession.
"The conductor must have cer-
tain characteristics -- a certain
kind of dedication, and certain in-
nate talents-which are somewhat
rare," Stokowski began, in his de-
liberate, authoritative manner.
Education'
"His education must be a good
one both musically and generally,
speaking," he maintained, "be-
cause in back 'of everything he
does should be a cultural perspec-
tive and an awareness of every-
thing he has received from his
ancestors.
"The genes from thousands of
ancestors go into all of us and
their balance and intensity are
very important."
He explained that in addition
the conductor must understand
the nature of all the instruments:
what they like todo, what they
cannot at all do, and what they
can do only with difficulty because
it is against their nature.
Play Instruments
"In my opinion, the conductor
should play all the instruments.
He may not play them all well,
because one lifetime is not suffi-
ciently long for this, but he+
should know their character and
willingness," Stokowski elaborated.
He continued, "The conductor
should, of course, know the score
well and should know how to beat
time.'These two things hundreds
of people can do, but there are
LEOPOLD STOKOWSKI
not hundreds of good conductors
all the same. These are funda-
mental requisites; there are oth-
er things equally as important."
I Psychology
Stokowski added, "The conduc-
tor must understand the psycho-
logical nature of the players. And
here American orchestras are
unique. In Europe, an orchestra is
composed, by and large, of play-
ers of only one nationality-that
of the resident country. But in
America, orchestras are compos-
ed of players from all nations,
and the cultural differences among
the players make conducting an
American orchestra psychological-
ly difficult."
Stokowski called the other abil-
ity the conductor must have "X,"
for lack of a better term. It is
the means by which some con-
ductors can make the music come
alive, how only some can convey
the ideas of the composer to the
listeners. "This is the most dif-
ficult task," he maintained.
Expression
"It is not enough to conduct the
correct noteshonly; the conductor
must make the notes express the
spirit and mood of the music,"
Stokowski noted.
"Many play correctly, but the
spirit is weak, 'The letter kills;
bhe spirit brings life.' Nothing could
be more true of a really great
conductor and a really great or-
chestra."

Thomas Triggs, Grad, student
epresentative tothe planning sub-
committee, said he could see stu-
dent representation continuing,
but "not gaining in constructive
coexistence with faculty."
He commented that the faculty
members' reaction was "favorable,
and sympathetic to students want-
ing to contribute something."
The work of the subcommittee
"interests me very much," Triggs
said, "but there is little I can
suggest from a student viewpoint
toward its long-range planning."
Hepredicted that student par-
ticipation on subcommittees prob-
ably will continue, "especially as
the chairmen come more and more
to recognize" student involvement.
Since the SACUA bodies are
relatively small, composed of 12-13
members, more than one student
per subcommittee would tend to
inhibit their work, Triggs felt.
EPC: One's Enough
Prof. John W. Henderson of the
ophthalmology department, chair-
man of the educational policies
subcommittee also thought one
student representative "is probably
sufficient." Prof. Henderson said
the faculty is "glad to have" the
student sitting with his commit-
tee.
However, the student only at-
tended the first of the subcom-
mittee's three meetings. He re-
ceives minutes of the meetings, but
"hasn't contacted us since," Prof.
Henderson said.
Harley Bornbach, Grad, delegate
to the Henderson subcommittee,
commented that he "felt extremely
well accepted" by the faculty. "The
members seemed quite pleased to
have a student representative."
Concerning the experience, Born-
bach said, "There is no question in
my mind that I am learning some-
thing."
Instruction
The improvement of instruction
subcommittee has two students
who have met with it twice, Chair-
man Prof. John S. Diekhoff of the
education school noted.
According to Prof. Diekhoff, the
two students are "active and
imaginative"; they have taken full
part in the discussion of the
agenda.
He noted that he felt "two stu-
dents are better than one-I don't
know at what point the nupnber
would be excessive."
Daryl Bem, Grad, one of the
students meeting with the sub-
committee agreed that two were
better than one-preferably one
undergraduate and one graduate
student.
Non-Rep
Regarding the effect of student
participation on the SACUA body,
Bem noted, "I don't see how we
can relate back our experiences
to the student, body as a whole."
Prof. Gordon Brown of the
epidemiology department, com-
mented that the faculty members
were pleased with the presence of,
two student representatives to his
research policy subcommittee.
Howard Schreyer, Grad, one of
two student representatives to the
subcommittee, said he is "def-
initely benefitting from what I've
learned."
One drawback to student par-
ticipation on the committee is
that "the faculty informed us it
doesn't want information let out.
They thought it would hinder
their work if it was," he said.
"The hesitancy to let this in-
formation out is the big thing to
overcome. These problems certain-
ly didn't shock me even though I
didn't know about them before."
According to Schreyer, he and
the other student representative
"are the only ones benefitting
from our participation.I thought
the purpose of it was to inform
more students of faculty work."
Whether or not students will in
fact continue participating on the
SACUA groups will be decided by
next year's subcommittee chair-
men, SACUA Chairman William
Kerr of the nuclear engineering
department said
"My guess is that they will
allow them to continue, although I
have no way of insuring this."
He said that he would recom-
mend that students be seated
again.
Prof. Kerr pointed out that a
continuing student-faculty inter-
change can be valuable as an ef-
fort to find ways to better the
University. Prof. Kerr noted that
the seating of students on the
faculty groups was "not the cul-
mination of a student-faculty gov-
ernment plan, but a look at the
problems involved in working to-
gether."
Prof. Kerr attributed the lack
of whole-heated enthusiasm on the
part of the faculty for the idea
to begin in its first year-it may
be just that it deserves a fair
trial.
