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." IHed-Studlents Wint Aid Grant The University's Medical School received $52,216 last Thursday through the Michigan State Med- ical Society. The money is from two differ- ent sources: $38,326 comes from $10 contributions of members of the State Medical group, and the remaining $13,890 from the Ame- rican Medical AssociationhEduca- tion and Research Foundation. Wayne State University received $31,988 from the same group. The money given by the State Medical Society is used to "aid medical students" and is divided between the two schools on a per capita basis. The AMA funds may be used as the schools wish.

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. ..~.AlbertoG ordi 'Toled...dr ndt toled° mlt 4 l K- ) Wide Variety of Tours planned for students only SORBONNE STUDY TOUR 70 days, $1388 including England, Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal DISCOVERY ADVENTURE TOUR OF EUROPE 76 days, $1295 Many other Student Tours featuring Europe, Israel, Greece and USSR.
