TUE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY. I 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. By JEFFREY K. CHASE "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. ORGANIZATION NOTICES Congregational Disciples E & R Stud.
