'U' Piano Tuner Reminisces

IQC Leader Favors AHC
Committee, Merger Plans

END WATERMAN MAZE:
Woolley Plans Early Registration

"I don't play the piano and I
don't have perfect pitch," claims
B. J. Hildinger, who has been
tuning and repairing pianos for
the University Musical Society for
twenty years.
Some of his more notable clients
have been Arthur Rubinstein, Ru-
dolph Serkin, Van Cliburn, Myra
Hess and Vladimir Horowitz.
"I don't think they're tempera-
mental. They're just like any-
body else," he says of the artists.
"They are really nice people to
tune pianos for."
He finds the pianists particular
about the tone and action of a
piano and the uniform hardness
of hammers (which gives all notes
the same volume), but says no one
has ever complained about his
tuning.

Hildinger has attended every
Musical Society concert that con-
tains a piano; he is usually "on
call" backstage.
The tuner attended the Univtr-
sity School of Music for three
years and played the violin in
the University Symphony Orches-
tra and at Ann Arbor theatres.
World War I interrupted his edu-
cation. He learned to tune pianos
in the Marines, where he played
trombone in the band as well as
violin in the orchestra.
Hildinger tuned pianos for the
School of Music for 14 years while
it had its practice headquarters
on Maynard Street. He stopped
in 1957 because he had to keep
odd hours. "The building was too
busy and noisy to do tuning dur-

ing the day," he explains.
The veteran tuner claims that
perfect pitch is not a requisite
for anyone in his profession. "You
don't tune by pitch; you tune by
beats or vibrations," he contends.
He says a piano can be tuned
more perfectly than any other in-
strument because of these vibra-
tions.
He is a member of the Piano
Technician's Guild and charges'
according to its recommended,

John Eadie, '65, President of
Inter-Quadrangle Council, com-
mented favorably yesterday on the
proposed Assembly House Coun-
cil-IQC merger and the study
committee formed by AHC last
Monday.
Assembly voted unanimously for
the study committee proposed by
new president Georgia Berland,
'67. The committee's purpose is to
review the structures of both AHC
and IQC with respect to the way
their functions and purposes will
affect a merger.
The committee will consist of
the presidents of AHC and IQC,
two coed dorm presidents, two
house presidents (one male, one
female), an AHC representative,
and an IQC representative.
To Be Studied
Items to be considered and re-
ported in the study are:
-The most equitable means of
representation by population on
the merged council;
-The possibility of a merger
involving only the executive boards
of the two organizations, rather
than the councils as a whole:
-The creation of an associate
member program for IQC similar
to that of AHC in which an in-
dependent individual has a vote
in his former house;
-The relationship of AHC and
IQC to the new Off-Campus
Housing B o a r d. representing
apartment men and women; and
-The feasibility of the incor-
poration of a Judicial branch into
the merged organization.
Begin Soon
"I'd like to see this committee
formed and carry out its functions
as soon as possible so that we
can get down to writing the con-
stitution for the merged body,"
Eadie said.
"A merger of only the executive

boards would be insufficient and
unnecessary. What is important in
AHC is important to IQC, andI
the two organizations could be!
better merged if a coed dorm was
not sending one representative to
a male side and one to a female
side; communications would be
easier if this proposed body were
totally merged," Eadie said.
An associate member program
might be a helpful idea, for in
this way independent men and
women have a voice to express
their problems which relate to
those in a dorm, he added.
,I really think that executive
officers and voters of IQC and
AHC ought to live in residence
halls, and we shouldn't try to
represent off-campus people,"
Eadie said.
"IQC has been asking for a
merger for over a year, and I'm
glad to see that it may soon be
a reality. Both AHC and IQC
wou'd benefit from the merger for
at least these three reasons:
-There would be twice the base
from which to get people to carry
out functions. Staffing would be
simpler;
-Men and women working to-
gether makes more interest arid
spirit. a

needed to effectively lead the
struggle. Lately though, young Ne-
groes have become the leaders and
their intelligence and spirit has
gained tremendous progress in the
last few years. The same wouldE
apply to a program of the TAP
caliber.
If young people were trained to
lead useful lives and have skilled
jobs, a change would permeate the
entire structure of the society so
that over time it would lose the
elements that originally caused
he poverty, according to Musial.
He said that quite a few prob-
lems have to be faced by Detroit
and similar cities:
-Trying to convince people to
take advantage of the facilities,
which in the past have been badly
unused;
-Trying to place the retrained
and semiskilled in a labor market
narrowed, in the short run, by
automation: and
-Eliminating the "institution-
alized prejudice" that impedes
progress and prospe6ity.
"The advantages of the Eco-
nomic Opportunity Act of 1964,"
Musial concluded, "are enough to
make such a program worthwhile.
One of the main emphases, is to
provide people with the tools to
help themselves, to overcome en-
vironmental deficiencies such as
education and training."
