FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1961 NIGHT EDITOR: JOHN ROBERTS FACULTY CONCERT: Woodwind Quintet Quality and Variety THE UNIVERSITY of Michigan Woodwind Quintet presented a varied and well-performed program in Rackham Lecture Hall Wednesday. The quintet-Profs. Nelson Hauenstein, flute, Florian Mueller, oboe; Albert Luconi, clarinet; Louis Stout, horn; and Lewis Cooper, Bassoon-was assisted by Prof. Charles Fisher, piano. The concert opened with "Musica Leggiera," by Rudolf Maros. This is a mildly dissonant composition and quite enjoyable. The group suf- fered a few precision difficulties, especially noticeable at the end of the third movement. The slow Aria and the last section of the final move- Union Intransigence Requires Referendum (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of two editorials on the new policies in the Michigan Union and possible actions to reverse them.) AS HAS BEEN pointed out, the Board of Directors and student officers of the Mich- igan Union have undertaken changes in the nature of the Grill without any prior investiga- tion of campus opinion. In view of the large measure of student sentiment against many of these changes, the campus community should be given some op- portunity -to indicate and enforce their desires on this issue. However, the Union administration has gone right ahead with its policies even as it noted the opposition arising, indicating its feeling that the dissendents were only in the minority and that the new policies were really favored by the large majority of the University com- munity. Thus it is now time for the opposition to indicate its strength-in such a manner as to force a reversal of the changes, if it is in the majority. CERTAINLY economic and other pressure measures such as boycotts, sit-ins and picket- ing would aid in this purpose. However, the policies of 'the Union administration seem to indicate that it would pay little attention to anything short of measures that could be en- forced. This would mean it is time for the male students (members of the Union) to exercise their membership powers. Specifically, con- stitutional amendments to reverse the recent moves should be attempted. To do this, the amendments must be put before the Board of Directors either by a mem- ber of the Board or by a petition signed by 200 members of the Union. Then, if the Board does not refer the amend- ment to the membership by a two-thirds vote of the directors, petitions from 10 per cent of the Union student members can force a refer- endum. F COURSE, this whole procedure would not allow women on the campus to have any voice (except in their influence on the men.) It would also be extremely slow, since the referendum can only be held constitution- ally at the spring all-campus elections-almost a year away. But it would serve as an irreversible pro- cedure for deciding whether or not the Union is right in claiming that the campus ,really wants what it is being given under the new system (which would seem to be a large, shiny all-campus cafeteria). The exact form of the constitutional amend- ments would have to be unusually specific and restrictive for this sort of document, since the Union administration is committed to its poli- cies and would have to be prevented from cir- cumventing the desires of the membership by instituting policies remaining within the letter of the amendments, but not the spirit. The exact form might be as follows: NEITHER the Union Board of Directors nor the general manager nor any em- ploye of the Union shall: Act to deny the facilities of the three rooms now known as the Michigan Union Grill or any future extension thereof to any person not judicially convicted of mis- using them for felonious purposes by either a properly constituted University or city judiciary. Attempt to prevent the use of the Grill or any future extensions thereof for the playing of card games, chess, or any simi- lar pastimes. Regulatesthe use of the Grill or any other Union facilities on the basis of stan- dards of personal appearance, dress, or similar criteria. AND,THE UNION shall remove the pres- ently installed jukebox from the Grill and shall not install another nor any similar machine, nor shall the Union Board nor any Union employes act to provide new or different services nor to deny any present services in the Grill without a favorable vote of Union members in a referendum at either the fall or spring campus elections. This amendement shall be interpreted as superseding and limiting any provisions of., the Constitution, By-Laws and House Rules of the Union, particularly as limiting the powers of the Board of Directors set forth in Article IV, Section II. It might be protested that the form of the proposed amendement is entirely too limiting on the Union administration. But is must be remembered that it is all too likely that any less restrictive amendment would only allow circumvention by the directors and Union officers. IT IS TIME that the Union officers learned whether they are right or wrong in their assertions that the campus is with them. -ROBERT FARRELL ment were, in this reviewer's opin- ion, the nicest bits of composition. "THREE MINIATURES" for Woodwind Quintet by Prof. Clyde Thompson of the School of Music faculty were well-written pieces, and reflected the most careful re- hearsing of any of the numbers on the first part of the program. Its first movement, Guarachita, had a strong rhythmic pulse, and was characterized by unison pas- sages, contrasted with spreading or contracting dissonances. The Elegy provided lyric opportunities for the group, and the March was marked by total independence of- writing for each of the voices. The "Quintet No. 2" of Alvin Etler concluded the first half of the program. This work was also somewhat dissonant, and for the most part brilliantly scored. Each of the members had virtuoso pas- sages to perform, and most were played with fine precision; the performance was a little ragged in the last section. The composi- tion was a fine example of con- temporary (1957) writing for this medium. * * THE MAJOR WORK on the program was the "Sextet," Op. 6, by Ludwig Thuille. Prof. Fisher joined the woodwinds to complete the sextet. This was a decided contrast in style to the first part of the program, and was quite ro- mantic. The first movement established the relationship that was to exist between the piano and the quintet -assignment of accompanimental and rhythmic roles to the piano in order to free the woodwinds and the horn for lyric playing. The group took advantage of this to the fullest, and sounded most at home. All the voices were given oppor- tunities for expressive playing, and the second movement particularly provided solos for Profs. Luconi and Stout which were most warm- ly played. The Gavotte had definite traces of the Musette throughout, and was lightly and easily presented. The final movement provided more interplay between the piano and the quintet, and was brilliant- ly scored. The horn part here was most characteristic of Richard Strauss. MR. FISHER did a most com- mendable job in blending the pi- ano tonally and rhythmically with the woodwinds, as well as playing his solo spots effectively. -John M. Christie ISSUE ORIENTATION: Voice Needs Reorganization By PHILIP SUTIN Daily Staff Writer WITH THE ELECTION of new co-chairmen and an extended discussion of goals and programs, Voice political party this week took two major steps toward end- ing a period of stagnation beset- ting the organization. Voice was conceived to facilitate effective student education and action on campus and student is- sues. Typical of a political group, Voice was to run candidates for Student Government Council and other elective offices on campus. In the same vein, it was to en- courage petitioning for various ad- ministrative agencies. However, it was not to be a political party in the ordinary sense of the term. The party was to research student issues and use discussion groups and other ap- propriate means to inform stu- dents about major issues. TO DATE, Voice has barely ap- proached its goals of student par- ticipation and education about vital student issues. The party started auspiciously with a vigor- ous, issue-based campaign in the SGC election last fall. After the balloting, Voice stagnated and re- mained in this state with the ex- ception of its Tennessee cam- paign to help boycotted share- croppers in Fayette and Haywood Counties. This project illustrated the basic weakness of Voice. Being a small group and lacking the magnetic leadership which could draw new members, the party did not have energy to be diffused into many projects. All denthusiasm was drawn into its most exciting and immediate challenge-the Ten- nessee campaign. The elaborate committee structure became an empty shell as active members were drawn into the ad hoc or- ganization managing the cam- paign. AS A RESULT, campus issues, the area in which Voice was in- tended to most concern itself, were neglected. Questions like the com- mittee on membership selection were left to the party's SGC rep- resentatives without any other Voice action. No research was un- dertaken and thus the party found itself without information when Union and residence hall problems became issues and .it could not act until knowledge on the problems was gained. The concern exhibited by Voice members about its stagnation in- dicated that the party was moving out of its doldrums. By a resolu- tion, mandating the executive committee to propose changes that would improve Voice's structure, the party took an important step toward setting a firmer course of action. f* s VOICE LEADERS will probably take an issues approach in re- organizing the party. For a group of Voice's character, this is the best way of handling the struc- ture. The party has few members who are concerned with many diverse interests, but it has enough people who are enthusiastic about specific concerns to render such a structure effective. Under an issue-based system, committees would be formed on an ad hoc basis to deal with any problem that develops. Such groups would draw members interested in this area as well as non-members who are also concerned. All mem- bers of the group being interested in the issue, the committee would function effectively and enthusias- tically to reach its goal. Aside from the advantage of ac- tive participation in many campus issues largely ignored until now, this structure would draw more people into the party and would increase its effectiveness as a cam- pus force by making more people aware that Voice is concerned with their problems. THERE is one drawback to this arrangement, however. Voice, with many small commmittees, could become a many-headed monster without direction. Each group may become self-centered without con- sidering the place of its project within the general scope of the party. Instead of suffering from over-concentration in one area, Voice could suffer from too much diffusion over many areas. This problem could be overcome by strong leadership by an execu- tive committee of party officers and area committee chairmei. This group, especially the Voice co-chairmen, will have to arbi- trate disputes over the emphasis given each project as well as the allocation of the party's meager funds. Property "I'm a great believer in pri- vate property. I believe in it so much that I think everybody should have some." -Sen. Hubert Humphrey LETTERS to the EDITOR Juke Box. To the Editor: NOT BEING a regular habitue of the Union (there are so few left now), I was really quite sur- prised at the "dsgruntility" over the lovely new juke-box. They all seemed very irrate, but justly so. Not only had this ma- chine (symbolic of all that is com- mercial, profitable, and real) com- pletely shattered the intellectual atmosphere, but would unquestion- ably cause a loss of countless study hours. As an impartial observer, I could see the reasons plainly. The night of its arrival was spent by the "members" giving knowingly disgusted nods as others slithered to and fro. Several hours were used de- vising nefarious ways of sabotag- ing this new undesirable. Intel- lectual witticisms were rampant- "I see a new trend . . . ," "What next?" "Maybe we can pour a malted down it," "Gum in the coin slot! 1"Pullthe plug, it will be weeks before they discover it,' "Two eggplants but the grunch over there," "not with a whimper but a bang." I SERIOUSLY WONDER if the machine will remain after the onslaught of criticism that will doubtless come from the left wing brain trust. I doubt it. We recently saw what happened at MSU-O. They too had a juke-box until the nouveau intellectuals took action. The attack is understandable when you look at their motives. Our little friends, have worked hard to maintain their exclusive niche from the world. They've withstood Union clean-ups and middle-class invasion, now this! Help! Help! -Greg Goldsmith, '62 Peace Corps . To the Editor: M R. ALAN GUSKIN'S reported determination (April 25) "to fight for our ideas" inthe estab- lishment of the Peace Corps seems somewhat militant in view of the usually expressed ideals of that organization. Is this not an ac- knowledgement of the importance of preparedness and a willingness to launch military operations should they become necessary for the maintenance of world peace? I believe our Strategic Air Com- mand is an effective embodiment of this same concept, although on a grander scale. -John A. Clark Department of Mechanical Engineering A fg nisian . . To the Editor: N THE APRIL 14 Daily a para- graph read, "There are 11 mil- lion Pushton in Pakistan and Af- ghanistan. The Afghanistan gov- ernment has settled on a policy for their self-determination." However, the Afghanistan gov- ernment has settled on a policy of self-determination for those Pashto-speaking peoples who are presently under Pakistan domina- tion. Afghanistan presently has more than 7 million Pashto-speaking population who do have a na- tional government-Afghanistan. What Afghanistan wants is a na- tional government for those Pashto - speaking people whose wishes for a national government, Pashtoonistan, are supressed by the government of Pakistan. -Abdul Ghafoor, '6NR Out of State ..:. To the Editor: A DANGEROUS tendency to discourage out-of-state stu- dents from state supported col- leges seems to be gaining accept- ance here in Michigan. It should be realized what keep- ing out-of-staters away can do to the universities involved. Out- of-state and" foreign students give a school a cosmopolitan at- mosphere and facilitate a wider range of thought. Also, due to admissions policies, out-of-state students raise the standards of these universities. All these things are desirable on a college campus and are the things that attract better professors.

Every conceivable petty objec- tion was thrown into the path of the coherent discussion on each point raised. Sometimes the points were legitimate. In the vast major- ity of instances they were used strictly for heckling a speaker with whom one member disagreed or for stalling action on a motion one member opposed. S* THE "ON PRIVILEGE, Mr. Chairman" and "on order, Mr. Chairman" which punctuated at ten-second intervals the debate on a motion to have SGC furnish $50 to enable. the Committee for Improved Cuban American Rela- tions to finance this afternoon's discussion, succeeded in prolong- ing the debate for nearly two hours , completely clouding the issue, and establishing an under- tone of hostility which prevailed for the rest of the meeting.

Thus a cumbersome suspension of thle rules was necessary in order to obtain a simple explanation of the issue under debate. sa as WHEN THE COUNCIL voted down a committee of the whole discussion on the Peace Corps, the protests of Philip Power, Spec, were drowned out in a welter of "point of order" cries, because the decision was undebatable.
