CANDIDATE PROFILE:

Mario Davidovsky is a bright
young composer who, after only
four years of study' in his. spe-
cialty - electronic musical com-
position-has become a leader in
his field.
Davidovsky, assistant director of
the Columbia-Princeton Electronic
Music Laboratory in New York
City, is deeply concerned with the
philosophical implications of his
art-the composition of music for
electronic sounds wedded to con-
ventional instrumentations.
Visual Appeal
Because a stage has a cultural
connotation, -,avidovsky said,
people like to see something hap-
pen on it. It is ridiculous for
concerts of just electronic music
to be performed in a concert hall,
"Who wants to watch a tape re-
corder spin around and around for
a couple of hours?" he asked.
"My. music joins the forces of
electronic sound and the living
performer," Davidovsky explained.
He uses electronic sounds such as
a tape recorder as' a musical in-
strument, not as background mu-
sic to live music.
"As a consequence of electronic
music, I can' extend my musical
thinking and can enrich a live
ensemble," the composer said.
"Performance of my works in-
volves both the contemporary as-
pect of electronic sounds and the,
lovely presence of direct, live com-
munication."
Coherent Performance
The greatest problem in com-
posing my music is achieving both
pitch and rhythmic 'Coherence,
Davidovsky said.
Campus
Prof. Alexander H. Smith of the
botany department, director of
The University herbarium, and
author of the definitive book, "The
Mushroom Hunter's Field Guide,"
will direct additional research in
mushrooms with the support of a
$20,600 grant from the National
Science Foundation. The three-:
year research period will be de-
voted to "Study in Culture of
Species, of Pluteus from a Taxo-
nomic Viewpoint."

SATURDAY, OCT.10
Because of the human element,
live performers always fluctuate,
albeityminutely, in rhythmic reg-
ularity and pitch accuracy;' this
is usually unnoticed by the
audience, he said. But electronic
sound is consistent both in rhythm
and pitch. Therefore, during a per-
formance the audience can fre-
quently tell that the electronic
and live aspects are not always
together, Davidovsky explained.
"My scores have to include
built-in regulation to prevent such
incongruities," he added.
Subtle Influences'
Davidovsky doesn't compose in
a totally organized or totally serial
fashion. He said that no matter
how much intellectual control a
omposer has over his material, it
would somehowbe naive to accept
the idea that. no other levels of his
personality have a strong influ-
ence in the musical choice he
takes.
"This is why I personally don't
try to be totally organized," David-
ovsky said.
During the music school's 1964
Contemporary Music Festival,
Davidovsky's "Synchronisms No.
1" for flute and electronic sounds
was performed. Yesterday, at the
Composers' Forum, his "Syn-
chronisms No. 2" for flute, clar-
inet,'violin, cello and electronic
sounds received its Ann, Arbor
premier. This work, commissioned
by the Fromm Foundation, was
first presented last summer at
Tanglewood.
Teaching
Davidovsky, who is spending the
fall semester at the University to
work with interested music school
faculty in the composition of elec-
'tronic music, ,will be one of two
representatives from his native
Argentina at the International
Festival in Spain later this month.
Davidovsky said that artistic'
expression in general came about
as an effort of man to communi-
ORGANIZATION
l4 NOTICES
By ROBERT BENDELOW
Speaking before a meeting of
the Young Republicans recently,
Representative George Meader at-
tacked what he called "misleading
labelling of measures in order to
hide unpleasant facts from the
public."
Programs such as the "war on
poverty," which have nice sound-
ing names and are therefore ac-
ceptable, would not be passed if
the public was shown the actual
steps to be taken, Meader said.
He attacked decisions of the
Supreme Court which he called
"a threat to our system of govern-
ment." The Supreme Court's re-
cent decisions "overturning" state
constitutions and "intruding in
the realm of the legislative branch
of the government" caused Meader
to "fear for the country."
He said that the three power
system of government is being
threatened by this experience.
The interference of the Supreme
Court strains the relations between
the legislative and judiciary
branches of the government and
between the federal and state
governments, Meader said.
He stressed that this is not
being publicised and shown to the
people in the same light as are
those things favored by the ad--
ministration.
To help alleviate these alleged
interferences of the Supreme
Court, Meaded suggested a blue

"Student Government Council
must be evaluated in its own
terms," Tom Smithson, '65, SGC'
president and candidate, said re-
cently.
"To evaluate it in terms of a
high school student council is un-
fair. It does not function to ar-
range dances for the student body.
But in the same vein, to evaluate
it in terms of the U.S. government
is equally unfair. There it is taken
out of its educational context," he.;
said.
Apathy
Smithson said that in one as-E
pect the two conceptions unfor-
tunately were parallel; both
aroused little interest on the part
of the constituency. "It is unfor-
tunate that members of an edu-
cational institution should feel:
this way," he added.
"Most people tend to evaluate:
an organization in terms of what
it can do for them personally. Tso
a certain extent SGC can satisfy:
that tendency. But it has another
function that definitely affectsE
students although in a more nebu-
lous way," Smithson said.
He commented that the func-i
tion is fulfilled in terms of ex-a
pression of student opinion, par-
ticipation in, University policy for-
mation, and stands SGC takes on .have not lived up to their legis-
matters within the University. lative responsibility," he said.

are hard to assess," he said. no sanctions were available out-

"routine but must be done," involved in service to the Univer-
sity. Participation
"Participation in activities is
part of education. If there is no
commitment beyond personal con-
'erns, what sort of commitment
will be forged in the future." He
did not present SGC as a pan-
acea but rather as an opportun-
Sity to serve.
Smithson said that his interest
in SGC and politics in general'
stemmed from an involvemeht in
East Quadrangle Council in his
freshman year. He was first elect-
ed to Council in March of 1963
and was elected its president in
March of 1964.

works through history is the evi-

at the same time, the evidence

such a level.

continued, "there' would be no

problem. This committee would be
composed of leading lawyers,
judges and businessmen from
throughout the country.
According to Meader, recommen-
dations for improvement might
take the lines of changing the
life tenure to a situation closer to
that of state judges who are sub-
ject to regular approval of their
actions, limiting the scope of the
judiciary, and curbing the judi-
ciary from making decisions on
legislative matters.
