ARTS AND LETTERS:
'Prix' Frees Artist's
Time
THIS WEEK'S EVENTS
By JEFFREY K. CHASE
"Time, not money or environ-
ment, is the valuable gift which
winning a Prix de Rome affords,"
Prof. Leslie Bassett of the music
school said recently.
Bassett, a Prix de Rome winner
who recently returned from a two-
year stay as a fellow at the
American Academy in Rome, ex-
plains that the German, French
and American academies each
grant one of these prizes annually
for musical composition; awards
in the other humanities are given
too.
The composition award entitles
its recipient to a studio, grand
piano, and plently of time to
create.
"This seemingly great quantity
of time with no deadlines and no
inspector is an overwhelming ex-
perience at first; it requires get-
ting used to," Bassett notes.
Rome Visit
"My studio was in an eighteenth
century setting on top of a hill
which afforded a view of all of
Rome. A glance out of the win-
dow presented a scene of sculp-
ture and fountains and formal
gardens with geometrically-shap-
ped evergreens," he recalls.
The recipient is expected to get
out and meet the Italian com-
posers and musicians, he explains.
Short trips to other parts of Eu-
rope are encouraged.
Bassett notes that Debussy and
Berlioz, two noted composers of
the last century, received a Prix
de Rome at the French Academy.
Contemporary American compos-
ers to receive this award include
Roger Sessions, Elliot Carter,
Samuel Barber, and Howard
Hanson.
Stanley Quartet
Next Wednesday the Stanley
Quartet, the official University
ensemble, will perform one of the
works Bassett wrote while in
Rome. The work, Quartet No. 3,
was composed in the summer of
1962 and had its world premiere
in May, 1963 at the American
Embassy Theater in Rome.
Bassett describes this four-
movement work: "It is a com-
panion piece to my Quintet for
piano and strings. Each utilizes
the same thematic and harmonic
material and turns of phrase, but
they use them differently. In the
quintet each instrument's part is
an entity distinct from the others,
but in the quartet, more unity
among the parts is attempted.
The idiom is chromatic and the
melodic lines are longer.
Third Movement
"The third movement is inter-
esting because in it I have used
a rustling effect and special bow-
ing techniques on the strings. The
fourth movement begins slowly,
but gradually increases in tempo
by a controlled accelerando."
The Stanley Quartet. celebrat-
ing its fifteenth anniversary this
year, gave this work its American
premiere on Nov. 5 in Detroit.

By WILLIAM CUMMINGS
"There will be no substantial
change in the balance of power
in the Japanese Diet in the Nov.
21 general elections, Shigeo Kas-
hima predicts.
Kashima, on leave from Sankei,
the fourth largest daily newspaper
in Japan, pointed out that Prime
Minister Hayato Ikeda's Liberal-
Democratic Party has led Japan
through a continuing period of
prosperity. Rising prices of con-
sumer goods is the only aspect of
the domestic scene that the So-
cialist opposition will be able to
make into an issue.
Liberal-Democrats
The Liberal-Democratic Party
holds 286 of the 467 seats in the
Diet's lower house. "Many intel-
ligent people are concerned with
this absolute majority," Kashima
notes. "Some of these people may
vote Socialist to change the bal-
ance. But there are many diffi-
culties the Socialist Party must
overcome in order to gain a ma-

jority of representatives, one of
them being a lack of suitable
candidates," he adds.
A key phrase in the Socialist
platform in the 1960 election was
"American Imperialism." Kashima
pointed out that these words had
been eliminated and the Socialist
Party has moved further right in
its international policy.
Trade Unions
SOHYO (General Council of
Japanese Trade Unions), the larg-
est labor union in Japan, supplies
the Socialists with most of their
campaign funds and has influ-
enced this change, Kashima said.
"SOHYO recently decided that
Japan is a capitalistic country. It
now would like to have better re-
lations with European and Ame-
rican labor unions, in contrast
with SOHYO's former identifi-
cation with the labor movement
in the communist countries," he
comments.
Softened Stand
Despite its softened position on
"American Imperialism," the So-
cialist Party will continue to pro-
test American arms in Japan. The
Socialists have a pacifist policy
which opposes even the use of
forces for "self-defense." This
position conforms with the "Peace
Constitution" that General Mac-
Arthur helped the Japanese form
during the occupation period after
World War II.
The Socialist Party, with 137
seats, usually aligns with other
"progressive parties" in the Diet
voting. This bloc has increased its
share of popular votes from 24 to
40 per cent since 1953. Kashima
does not believe this figure will
change substantially.
