Hatcher Lands Fraternity Rise
Kertesz Stresses Solid Beat'
In Playing Modern Works
By CARL COHEN
"I have always sponsored fra-
ternities as an important and sig-
nigicant part of the life and tra-
dition of the University; however
there is no reason why their at-
tractiveness should not be greater
in the future," University Presi-
dent Harlan Hatcher said to the
Fraternity Officers Conference
Friday.
President Hatcher noted the
"strong steady growth" of the
system since 1913, when there were
27 fraternities with 676 members,
until today, when there are 43
social fraternities with 2,800 men
in them.
He noted the problems of earlier
periods; "irresponsible rowdyism,"
seperation of fraternities from the
main stream of college life," and
"Hell Week, when many students
were seriously injured or even
killed. There are no longer mat-
ters of deep concern," he said.
Notes Characteristics
"I give enthusiastic endorse-
ment to the kind of men the fra-
ternities help to produce," Presi-
dent Hatcher said. He noted such
characteristics as selectivity, con-
geniality, discipline, loyalty, Uni-
versity citizenship, and interest in
important activities as laudable
traits encouraged by fraternities.
"There is no 'fraternity crisis'
today, however we must take 'fore-
ward steps'," he noted.
"I would like to get rid of the
'impregnable quadrilateral'-booze,
women, athletics and bias.
The president made four specific
suggestions to the fraternity of-
ficers. "Get out of the bias con-
troversy, the day and age for this
kind of thing have passed. Organ-
izations have the right to make
selections, but they should not be
dictated to by outside groups."
Extend Houses
"There should be a careful plan
to improve and extend houses. I
am greatly concerned that we have
Steam Rate
Sets Record
The Plant Department let out
more steam during intersession
than in any other week in its his-
tory.
A department official reported
that at the high point last week
the production of steam reached
477 thousand pounds per hour.
The designed capacity of the de-
partment's equipment is 525 thou-
sand pounds per hour.
No equipment broke down and
no complaints have been received
so we assume everybody was ade-
quately taken care of, the official
said.
not moved forward vigorously in
remodeling and extending frater-
nity facilities," he commented,
stating that the University has set
aside property on North Campus
for fraternity houses. "The ad-
ministration has no set policy in
this matter, and is willing to work
with the fraternities in any man-
ner they wish.
"There should be a better study
atmosphere." Specifically he sug-
gested libraries in the houses, and
making the chapter rooms places
for study and meditation.
Finally, he advocated "more con-
sideration to incorperating a house
mother into future plans to help
make the necessary social adjust-
ment easier," and also to making
use of the "enormous resources of
faculty personnel available" for a
great "intellectual thrust."
President Hatcher concluded
that there is a great opportunity
for continued "orderly develop-
ment.'
"Ask yourself where you are
today, and where you can move
tomorrow to make the system even
greater," he said.

"When conducting m o d e r n'
works the orchestral conductor
must show a strong, solid beat to
make the players feel more se-
cure," Istvan Kertesz, tour con-
ductor of the NDR Symphony Or-
chestra of Hamburg, said recently.
"It is not necessary for such a
strong beat to be given when con-
ducting the classical repertoire.
I do not mean to imply, however,
that a good baton technique is
unnecessary for the classics. In
fact, the exact same gestures are
used for both. The conductor must
take these gestures and shape
them to the piece, rather than try
to fit the piece to the gestures."
Classical Composers
Bartok and Hindemith now be-
long to the list of classical com-
posers, explained Kertesz. It is the
twelve-tone c o m p o s e r s like
Schoenberg and the electronic
composers like Stockhausen who
are considered avant garde.
"I personally don't like electron-
ic music because it is too hard,
too intellectual, and too difficult
to listen to. I predict that twelve-
tone composition will continue,
but electronic music is just a
passing fad and will die," Kertesz
commented.
Unpopular in Europe
"It is interesting to note that
American compositions are not
very popular in Europe. Those of
Copland, Foss and Carter, for in-
cert there. I cannot account for
stance, are rarely heard in con-
this unfortunate void in the Euro-
pean taste," Kertesz mused.
Kertesz, whose favorite compos-
ers are Mozart and Brahms, Will
tour Israel in April, and Argen-
tina in June.
