1800-PIPE CLASSROOM:
Organ Teacher Noekren Still Student
By DEBRA DURCHSLAG
In an office where a 1,800-pipe
organ dwarfs both men and room,
Prof. Robert Noehren of the music
school holds his classes.
University organist and teacher
Noehren is a man who deserves to
be known in his own right. Organ-
ists tend to be the de-glamorized
artists of the musical trade. The
impressive instruments they play
often conceal the fact that they
themselves may be impressive in-
dividuals.
With Prof. Noehren, there is no
doubt that he is as much a person
as a fine musician. He is an expert
in his field, but also manages to
be a good person to talk to over a
cup of coffee.
Wide Repertoire
As an organist Prof. Noehren
Stands unique in his knowledge of
the instrument. He ha., studied, de-
signed and composed for the or-
gan, and can include a knowledge
of several other instruments in
his repertoire.
Organ music has been getting
Prof. Noehren's attention since he
was 11 years old. He first became
interested in a new organ that his
church was installing, and ended
up designing organs himself.
Tonal Elements
His technical interest stems di-
rectly from his musical interest.
Tonal elements that are important
in playing led Prof. Noehren into
the larger tonal picture of organ
construction itself. He has done
most of the re-designing of the 7,-
000-pipe organ in Hill Auditorium
as well as working on other organ
projects.
Knowledge of all types of organs
gives Prof. Noehren a familiarity
in speaking about them. "The dif-
ferent national organs are like
their countries," he says. "French
organs reedy and fiery in sound,
English more sauve, and the Ger-
man rough in tone."
In America a confusion of or-
gan tastes has occured as a re-
sult of these influences. "English
traditions have been generally
more prominent, but French and
German traditions are now hav-
ing more influence," he added.
Ex-Officers
To Meet Here
Class officers don't give up their
gavels when they graduate.
Tomorrow's annual meeting of
the Class Officers' Council will
bring more than 100 alumni here,
and prove official business can last
for years.
The officers will meet at 10
a.m. in Alumni Memorial Hall for
their seventh annual "Reunion
Workshop," where techniques of
reunion promotion and planning
will be discussed.
Next the group will adjourn to
the- Union, at 12:15 p.m., for its
twenty-ninth annual luncheon
meeting. University Vice-President
James A. Lewis will address the
officers on "The Student Scene."

Yes, many a man first started cooking
with gas-and electrifying gals-when
he switched from greasy hair creams
and oils to new Vitalis Hair Tonic.
New Vitalis contains neither grease.
gas nor electricity. It keeps your hair
neat all day with V-7, the grooming dis-
covery that's not a greasy animal, veg-
etable or mineral oil.
Greaseless Vitalis doesn't "pile up"
on your hair. So you can use it as often

PROF. NOEHREN IN FAMILIAR POSE
Prof. Noehren has all the tradi-
tions under his belt. He has stud-
ied more than 100 old organs in
Europe, taking photographs andj
examining technical details. The
organ in his office is an Austrian
work, but the Hill Auditorium gi-
ant has been re-designed to en-
compass as wide a range of or-
gan-tradition as possible.
Church Positions
Church positions still claim the
majority of organ students, ac-
cording to Erof. Noehren, but there
has been a recent upsurge of in-
terest in the organ as a musical
instrument in itself. "More or-
gans were built last year than
probably ever before in United
States history."
"Of course," Prof. Noehren
smiled and added, "there are also
Select Candidates
For 2 Union Posts
Candidates for two Union vice-
presidential positions were select-
ed by the nominating committee,
Dick Pinkerton, '55, chairman of
the committee, announced yester-
day.
Medical and dental schools' can-
didates are Louis R. Zako, '57 Med.,
and Gerald O Straugh, '57 Med.
Candidates selected from the law
school are Howard N. Nemerovski,
'58L, and Norman A. Zilber, '56L.
These candidates were selected
because no petitions for the offices
were taken out.
the connoisseurs who become in-
terested in sound alone and forget
that the purpose of the organ is
to make music. You can show off
your hi-fi set and shatter the walls
with organ sound without even
realizing that the instrument can
also play music."
Prof. Noehren wouldn't have the
opportunity to forget that the or-
gan is for music, even if he tried.
This fall he was invited to the In-
ternational Organ Congress in
Dusseldorf, Germany, and gave
two organ recitals. He has record-
ed many works of Bach as well as
representative and unusual organ
literature from all periods.
Prof. Noehren was recently given
a particular honor when a record-
ing of his was chosen among the
20 best records of the year. The
Grand Prix du Disque was awarded
to him in 1953, the only organist
winning the prize that year, plac-
ing him among such other prize
winners as Horowitz and Mitro-
poulos.
He recently acquired a two-man-
ual and pedal clavicord. Built es-
pecially for Prof. Noehren, the in-
strument is the first of its kind in
the country and is like one which
Bach practiced.
The first of Prof. Noehren's bi-
annual series of organ concerts
will be held at 4:15 p.m. Sunday in
Hill Auditorium. The series of
three successive Sunday programs
will feature Bach and other organ
music, with the first program in-
cluding music of Holland and
North Germany.
