A teletype service, recently in- :.:1.... Ialed in the General Library, is '-r. st 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. -Daily-Robert Lewis 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.

Mail orders are being accepted for "Anything Goes" at 1012 W. Washington St. right in his music, as one of hi 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 ]Discuss Role 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. Prof. Rothman, who studied un- der Dewey and is a leading expon- * * * 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 & 4 -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 Stepped Up Plan Returns Veterans .WASHINGTON - (P) - Ninety thousand veterans of Korea will come home in the next 90 days under the Army's stepped up "first-in, first-out" rotation plan. Recruits from the United States will take their places. I 4i 8g18/-V f// pgbll/ggy1 fi/ ! 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.
