Arnold Schoenberg een
'As Music Revolutionist
By MARILYN FLORIDIS
One of the most discussed and controversial figures in contem-
porary music, Arnold Schoenberg, has died at his home on the West
coast, leaving behind him a revolutionary development in music theory.
Considered one of the great figures of modern music, his influ-
ence was felt by other composers whether they followed his principles
or not.
* * * *
ROSS LEE FINNEY, professor of composition at the University
music school, considers Schoenberg's striking integrity, his firm stance
for certain principles he beieved--
ready to speed requests for books
and information sought f r o m
other libraries across the country.
The new teletype station, which
is hooked up with 25,000 other
subscribers throughout the United
States, can save days in the deliv-
requested from other institutions
ery. of books or research material
on the net work.
Answers to specific questions
can often be had in a few minutes.
THE SERVICE was first institu-
ted to assist the State Library in
Lansing which was partially des-
troyed by the recent fire in the
State Office Building.
Besides the station here and
the one at East Lansing, there
are teletype units in libraries in
Cadillac, Detroit, Grand Rapids
and Marquette.
Students or faculty members
who are in need of quick service
on books, theses or special infor-
mation from these libraries may
present their requests at the Gen-
eral Library.. They will be charged
the regular toll rate (slightly low-
er than telephone rates) for a
,three minute message. Longer
messages go at reduced rates.
SEVERAL COLLEGES and uni-
versities outside of Michigan are
also subscribers to the service and
can be contacted with the teletype
machine in the General LIbrary.
The machine now in use in the
Library will remain there for sev-
eral trial months, but it will '-e
removed if it is not used suffi-
ciently to justify permanent in-
stallation.-
In the hope of increasing tb-
teletype's use, the Library, for the
present, will accept messages from
University agencies not related to
library services at standard toll
rates. Many business firms and
hotels are among the 25,000 sub-
scribers.

QUICK SERVICE--Blanche Oliver, Grad., right, tries the new
teletype service installed in the General Library to speed the de-
livery of an inter-library book loan. Mrs. Sarah Wollin is check-
ing the call letters of the library. An answer to Miss Oliver's
book request can be had over the wire in a matter of minutes.

greatest attributes.
Showing a great integration
of the chromatic s y s t e m,
Schoenberg's "twelve tone tech-
nique" was characterized by a
complete abstraction of techni.
que.
Prof. Finney believes t h a I
Schoenberg's music provided a
tgreater distance between the au-
dience and the creative artist be-
cause of its intellectual approach
Nevertheless, few can deny the
hmportance and influence of Scho-
enberg as a great musical theoris
and teacher. His breaking awa
wfrom established harmonies
brought about the formation of a
twelve tone system, by which al
of the twelve tones in a chroma-
tic scale assumed equal import-
ance.

SCHOE"BERG was born in Vi-
enna Sept. 13, 1874. As a young-
ster he played the violin and had
composed some violin duets at the
age of twelve. Because of impov-
rished circumstances, he persued
self-study in music. His only mu-
sic instruction was by Alexander
von Zemlinsky, who taught him
counterpoint.
He later received a teaching po-
sition at the Stern Conservatory
in Berlin through the influence of
his friend Richard Strauss. It was
after this period that Schoen-
berg's music began a steady move-
ment against tonality.
In 1933 Schoenberg came to
America to settle in Los Ange-
les. He taught at the University
of California until 1944.
The question now arises if Scho-
enberg, like Bartok before him,
will receive sudden recognition of
the great merit and achievement
of his composition after his death.
Prof. Finney doubts that the same
situation will occur because of the
lack of emotional appeal in Scho-
enberg's works that Bartok's works
contained.
Schoenberg himself believed
that it would be possibly fifty
years before he would be comple-
tely understood. Just what will
happen to Schoenberg's music it-
self is unpredictable, but his con-
tribution to music theory cannot
be challenged.
Student Prince
Trial Delayed
Another postponement request
will be made in the Municipal
Court trial of Prince Mahoud Pah-
lavi, Grad., charged with driving
with a revoked license, according
to prosecuting attorney, Douglas K.
Reading.
- He said yesterday he will ask
for a week's delay in order to at-
tend a prosecutors convention.
Meanwhile local legal authori-
ties wondered if the prince has
diplomatic immunity, usually re-
served for the heads of countries
and those connected with an em-
bassy.
Conviction of the charge de-
mands a two day jail sentence.
However, sentence may be sus-
pended at the discretion of the
prosecuting attorney. Possible in-
ternational implications and in-
terest of the United States Depart-
ment of State and the Iranian
embassy could influence such a
suspension, authorities said.
Educators Will

of Teacher
Prof. R o b e r t Rothman, of
Wayne University, will be the fea-
tured speaker at a panel discus-
sion, "John Dewey and the Class-
room Teacher," sponsored by the
Michigan Federation of Teachers,
at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Union.

G1 BILL:.
VA Provides
For Changes
In Curricula
Special provisions to help vet-
erans who want to start or change
GI Bill courses before Wednes-
day's deadline have been announ-
ced by Guy F. Palmer,, manager
of the Veteran Administration re-
gional office in Detroit.
The changed procedures apply to
two groups-veterans who intend
to start GI courses commonly con-
sidered avocational or recreation-
al, and those who want to change
their present. courses of study un-
der the bill.
* * *
A VETERAN in the first group
who does not gain VA approval of
his programs before Wednesday
will still be able to receive GI
funds if he begins his training and
completes his application before
that date, and later gets his
course approved.
The second ruling applies to ve-
terans who plan to change their
course before the cut-off date. As
long as their applications are re-
ceived by the VA before Wednes-
day, pre-deadline change - of -
course provisions will apply.
The predeadline rules allow
a veteran to make a first change
of course merely by applying for
it; a second change by under-
going advisement and guidance,
and a third change only to a
short intensive course in a field
essential to the national wel-
fare,
Palmer advised veterans to re-
main in their present courses un-
til they receive word to go ahead
with their new courses. After they
get their notification of approval,
they have 30 days-or the earliest
date in which enrollment in their
chosen course is allowed-in which
;o start their new curricula.
In case the VA does not approve
their applications, the veterans
may continue their original train-
ing.
PALMER URGED veterans to
make sure their applications for
course changes are complete. They
must include a statement from the
original school or training estab-
lishment that the veteran's con-
duct and progress in his previous
training have been satisfactory.
The Wednesday deadline applies
to veterans released from military
service before July 25, 1947, Pal-
mer explained. Those few dis-
charged afterwards have four
years from their discharge date in
which to start GI Bill Training.
Under the law, most veterans
must be in GI training by that
time, except for interruptions due
to reasons beyond their control, in
order to continue afterwards.
Irish Drama History
Outlined by Bentley
&

-p
"Burning of the dingy, ugly Ab-
bey Theatre was long overdue, and
I congratulate the arsonist," com-
mented Prof. Eric Bentley, direc-
tor of the Young Irish Players, in
his lecture on "The Modern Irish
Drama" yesterday afternoon.
"Yet it was the very ugliness of
the converted Mechanics Insti-
tute,"he continued, "which dis-
tinguished the Abbey Theatre as
a people's theatre with extraorli-
nary playwrights."
* * *
HE EXPLAINED t h e Abbey
Theatre was created by W. B.
Yeats, Lady Gregory and a few of
their friends. It was created as
part of a rebellion of the Irish
playwrights against the excess of
technicality of English late Vic-
torian drama.
Speaking with a slight British
accent, Prof. Bentley said that in

under the Army's stepped up
"first-in, first-out" rotation plan.
Recruits from the United States

his opinion, Yeats, Sygne and O'-
Casey, were the three most impor-
tant figures in the Abbey Thea-
tre's history, and were also the
most important figures in the his-
tory of modern Irish drama.
He listed their writing primes
in this manner: Sygne before
the Easter hebellion in 1916, 0'-
Casey after the rebellion and
Yeats cutting across the primes
of the other two.
Modern Irish drama was not
complete, however, until the Gate
Theatre began friendly competi-
tion with the Abbey.
Prof. Bentley is a distinguished
critic, editor and director. Having
spent a great deal of time in Eur-
ope, he has become an authority
on Irish drama and its presenta-
tion.
