Fairbanks Classic To Screen; Beckman To Host Premiere Mail Room Molts Into Post Office The series title was The March of Time. The youth of television killed the fantasy of radio. A man could then, as -Friendly put it, "compare what he saw on the tube with the narration of his favorite radio station." News reporting regained its factual basis when the television camera focussed in at the scene. Friendly divedes journalism into three categories: "factual reporting, interpretive reporting, and editorial- izing." He sees no place in television for the third kind and observes that purely factual reporting is an impossibility. Friendly objects to the use of the word "objective," replacing it with the term "fair." In illustrating the idea of inter- pretive journalism as well as the border with editorialization, Friendly showed two of the televi- sion programs he had edited along with Edward R. Murrow during the McCarthy era. Part at" the :;ee ;i Now series, the films had a profound effect on American audi- ences, in turn, creating a model for future news coverage. The first f.tlm centered around the speeches of Joe McCarthy. It was edited from more than 24 hours of footage. It was definitely an editorial statement, Friendly said.

The lowering of the mini- mum age requirement from 21 to 18 by the Hertz Company affects only a small number of schools in California. The reason for Caltech's selection is due to the expectation that Techers are more careful than the usual student driver. A 10% rebate on flat rates and costs of mileage will be given to ASCIT for all the rentals taken by Techers. Hopefully, this percentage will be distributed back to the students originally renting the cars. Therebate will be available to students during the first week of May and June; Techers should bring their rental receipts to an ASCIT member (to be named later) who will promptly allocate the money.

His visit to Caltech includes a Beckman Auditorium lecture, participation in the Political Military Excercise, and a series of seminars entitled, "Journalism for Poets, Protesters, and Physicists."

At any rate, the class looks good,and a thumbnail count taken onMonday, before any considerationof applicants individually, indicatedthat rougWy 30 females figure to befound worth applicants.

A FANFARE

Tbroob Beat...

-Philip M. NechesIra D. Moskatel

Paul A. Levin

For years, men and women alike awaited a sufficient reduction in theprurient decency of the fashion world to allow skirts which follow theEnglish teachers' maxim: "Just long enough to cover the subject and briefenough to be interesting." Ever since Life and Time recovered from thefutureshock of the miniskirt (about 1966), the female leg has been one ofthe better attended to aspects of the environment.

Now, the designers in Paris and New York threaten these hard-earnedgains. The midi has been proclaimed the fashion on the land. But whatpurports to be the latest "mod" look manages to make good legs look poorand bad legs disgusting.

In addition, the prophets of Wall Street tell us (in more than halfhumorous tones) that the nation's economy follows hemlines to asurprising extent. Do the designers in their haute salons realize whatcatastrophic consequences such a rash move as the midi could have? Howmany industries must collapse, how many must be unemployed before theymend their evil ways? Remember, the midi was fashionable only duringthese historic events: the Great Depression, the post-World War \IDepression, and the post-Korean War Recession.

Preliminary reports from the department stores and boutiques. however,give reason to hope. The midi ~ells like a cold, greasy pancake. One model,when asked if she had any midiskirts in her personal wardrobe, replied,"No. My fiance won't let me." And coeds have voiced unanimousdenigration of the midi on campus after campus.

The nation's economy and morale may be saved from this perfidiousthreat by the innate sense of style (and sensuousness) of the Americanmale and female.

What's It Like?There are several countries that

will not extradite Americans to theUnited States for draft "offenses."A few of them, including Canadaand Sweden, are even quite friendlyto such Americans. However, evenin these countries an immigrant isliable to have difficulty finding ajob or adjusting to life in a newcountry.. Loneliness often causesmany emigrants to return to the U.'S~ to face Proseclltion or to live thelife of a fugitive: ....

More specific information on thevarious countries is available fromvarious sources. The "Manual forDraft-Age Immigrants to Canada" isan excellent booklet which must beread by anyone even consideringemigration to Canada ($2, TorontoAnti-Draft Programme, P. O. Box41, Station "K", Toronto 12,Canada). The "Manual for DraftAge Americans in Europe" containsuseful information for registrantsliving anywhere in the world outsidethe United States even though it iswritten specifically for Americans inEurope ($?, War Resisters Interna­tional, 3 Caledonian Road, LondonN. 1, England). "Exiled" hasspecific information on many coun­tries that is quite good, althoughsome of the introductory material ismisleading ($2.50, Philadelphia Re­sistance, 2006 Walnut St., Philadel­phia, Pennsylvania). All three ofthese manuals can also be obtainedfrom some counseling organizations,including the American FriendsService Committee.

favor more mixing, perhaps in livingareas, of graduate and under­graduate programs. He also wouldlike to see the humanities run on atutorial basis, but realizes thelogistical difficulties involved,especially with respect to lack ofprofessors and time. Dean Bohnen­blust expressed some cynicismabout the informality and avail­ability of the faculty if everyonetook advantage of the offersextended them. He wants moresupport given to the student, that itis the responsibility of the facultyto keep the student from becomingdiscouraged. "We have failed toconvey to too many students asense of achievement here atCaltech." This is his biggest worry;that somehow a student loses hisdedication, loses sight of a goal, and

tions, which is itself a violation ofthe Act. Even assuming that such aperson would not be prosecuted, heshould be aware of his unenviableposition: First, he will almost surelybe unable to regain his Americancitizenship should he so desire.Second, he will face (in mostcountries) a period of five years as astateless person before he will beeligible to become a citizen of thatcountry. During those five years ofnon-citizenry, he may find itimpossible to travel and is in dangerof being deported to no man's landshould he violate a law of thecountry to which he has emigrated.Third, he could end up as apermanently stateless person whouldhe be unable to obtain citizenshipin that country.

Due to the above considerations,it is generally not advisable for anemigrant to renounce his U. S.citizenship unless he is in a positionto claim citizenship in anothercountry at the time of his renunci­ation. Registrants who were born ina country other than the U. S. maybe in such a position.

When to LeaveAssuming the registrant is not

going to renounce his U. S.citizenship, he should wait untilafter he has refused induction toleave for a foreign country. Thiswill afford him the best chance ofbeing able to defend himself incourt should he decide to return tothe United States. He will normallyhave up to six months in which toemigrate before being arrested forrefusing induction. One should note,however, that the policy at a few ofthe induction centers in the eastern

I 1_ jMakes No Boones

by Richard StrelitzThere has been much talk lately

about the future of Caltech, someconstructive, some just lounge talk.Last Tuesday, I spoke with DeanBohnenblust about the school, andwhat he thought of the educationfor which he is in part responsible.

He prefaced his remarks bystating that the best feature ofCaltech is that it is small anddifferent. We are not yet auniversity - we are still a smallschool. This means that we can nothave a large number of diversecourses taught, something to satisfyeveryone, but we are small enoughto be flexible and allow customtailoring of programs.

Pass/Fail Is KeyHe felt that the pass/fail system,

especially in the upper division, is akey to the flexibility: one couldtake a course that interested himwithout fear of jeopardizing hisGPA. However, what Dr. Bohnen-

'blust feels most important is theavailability of reading courses - ofcourses that simulate the tutorialsystem.

He feels that a student should beresponsible for his own education.Independence is the virtue ofsmallness in a university; eachstudent can be recognized on hisown merits, and interaction onmany levels is possible. He used theexample of the differences in thevarious options which depend uponthe size of the department.

Emigration ·The Last ResortWarning: To the best of ourknowledge, all the information inthis column is accurate at thepresent time. However, changes inthe regulations or decisions by thecourts occur often. A counselor orlawyer should be consulted beforetaking any major action that willaffect your Selective Service status.

Emigration Is a Last ResortMany draft-aged men, at one

time or other, consider emigrationto another country in order toavoid being jailed for refusingmilitary service. Before taking sucha drastic step, a registrant shouldfully pursue every Selective Servicedeferment or exemption for whichhe may be even remotely qualifiedand should review his SelectiveService status with an attorney todetermine the possibility of furtheractions within the Selective ServiceSystem or of court review favorableto the registrant.

Emigration Equals ExileThe registrant who emigrates to

another country to escape the drafthas exiled himself permanently fromthe United States, since he cannever return without facing prose­cution for violating the SelectiveService Act (by failing to report forinduction or whatever), even if hehas since become a citizen of theother country.

The improvement made in theprediction of GPA at Tech was verysmall, though relatively large whencompared with the wretchedness ofthe PGPA as a predictor. (TheR-squared value went from .16 to.19.)

The Admissions Office expressedinterest in the results of the study,and promised to incorporate someof its findings, and indications, intofurther work done in constructing apredictor of success at Caltech.

when just to be there, to be part ofthe scene, but the music broughtmost. The film tries to capture themusic on film, but fails. Essentially,rock music is a group effort, aninterplay of separate colorful per·sonalities. Part of the excitement isin the individual, but the inter·actions are the most important. Thefilm focuses on one person at atime, often splitting the screen togive separate views of one person,but essentially the view is a threefoot square of either the hands orface of the musician. It is horriblyfrustrating to see a face when youwant to see the hands, or the wholebody, or the whole group. Rock hasnever been captured adequately onfilm, at least not yet.

The music itself is excellent. Thesound system is sharp and clear,with perfect separation and stereoeffect. Many good performances-arechosen for inclusion, and yet thereseems to be many performers whoare neither chosen for their talentor excitement, but instead for theirpolitics. My only real gripe is thespeeding up on the Sha Na Nasequence.

The film is a good film, as goodas Monterrey Pop, if not better; ohyes, as in Monterrey, the film endswith Jimi Hendrix, but this time heis terrible: not the way to end.

HEY, WHAT'S WOODSTOCK ANYWAY?

The Final AlternativeWright, Logan Sign Off

Editors' Note-We soon hope tocollect all of the columns in thisseries and have them published in apamphlet.

The Woodstock Music and ArtsFestival lasted three long and wetdays. "Woodstock," the film, laststhree hours and thus you saveyourself 69 hours by going to themovie. If you were going to go tothe festival, or if you wereinterested in what happened, thensee this film. See it because it is anaccurate picture of what happenedthose three days in White Lake.

The format of the film isinterviews and views of the par­ticipants interspersed with picturesof the performances. The per­centages are 60% former, 40%latter, which would seem aboutright for such events. Each littlesegment is coherent, and just a littlebit too long. One deals with thereactions of the community,another with food problems, andanother with dope.

The editors keep your eyesatisfied with the collage of sightsnecessary to awe your mind, toshock you out of the security ofyour theater and actually put youin the mud, especially in the stormsequences.

Only whenAmericans allow for isolated publicinstitutions will the television pro­gramming rise above its currentmediocre level.

Friendly spoke of the FederalCommunications Commision as"that great tower of Jello on thePotomac," referring to their almostpowerless position in improving thequality of broadcasts. "Television,"he. asserted, "makes so much moneydoing its worst that it cannot affordto do its best!"

The last topic dealt with byFriendly was his vision of televisionin the future. He sees the endtransmission by "antenna" and therise of cable television in which asmany as 30 stations are available tothe individual viewer. We asked himwhat he thought of "Pay televi­sion." "The television programmingyou see is not free. Proctor andGamble spends 170 million dollarsin television advertising during thecourse of a year."

"Fourth?"by Robert Geller,

For many years the disputebetween the Scientists and Tradi­tionalists has raged through thebridge world. The Scientists believein using many special conventionsto maximize the information ex­changed in the auction, while theTraditionalists believe in blasting towhat their judgement leads them tobelieve will be the best contract,thinking that the information givento the enemy by a scientific auctionwill lead to a net loss because ofthe much larger fund of informl,ltionthe defenders have. The Tradi­tionalists maintain that many oftheir overbid blasted contracts havea better chance than appearancesindicate because of the chance thatthe defenders will not find thekilling opening lead.

The great dispute is of courseinsoluble, because the merits ofscientific bidding are determined byhow well one is able to use it. Ifyou are incapable of reaching thecorrect contract after telling theopponents how to defend, thenscientific bidding is not for you. Astoday's hand indicates, scientificbidding does not yield very goodresults when misapplied.

The Transfer BackfiresThe hand was played in a

board-a-match team event at a localsectional tournament. In the auctionshown above, North first trans­ferred, forcing South to bid threehearts, then bid five no-trump,ordering South to bid six heartswith three or more. South followedorders, and six hearts was dulymade, losing only one club. North­South hoped to win the board,since six hearts played by North isdefeated by East's rather obviousspade lead. They were disappointedto learn that their team had lost theboard, since at the other tableNorth raised South's opening twonotrump to six. The same tricks areavailable in hearts and notrump, sosix hearts is always a losingproposition. All the gadgets in the

of technical subjects, which appearsto be quite extensive. The filmshown in the second seminar was aninterview with 1. Robert.Oppenheimer at the Princeton Insti­tute for Advanced Studies. Friendlyfrequently apologized if he hadoversimplified or mistated a con­cept.

He looks directly at the audi­ence, and speaks directly to thosewho question him. During thequestion and answer sessions hefrequently refers to specific charac­teristics of his listeners. One of thewomen in the group had hair ofalmost a platinum color. WhenFriendly spoke of television as thegreatest "mover of goods" he spokedirectly to the woman saying thattelevision is one of the mostselective advertising media around.For example, he said, "I doubt ifany of the fellows here would beinterested in Lady Clairol,' or thegals in Gillette razor blades, but onsecond thought..."

The next topic was the Nielsonrating system, in which 1400families are used to determine thesuccess or failure of all TV series.Friendly called it "measuring spaceage tolerances with a dip-stick froma Model T Ford." There is no

roboration for the late senator's"facts."

Friendly and Murrow both a­greed that they would onoy resortto editorialization again in a similarsituation. The following week theypresented the second film on AnnieLee Moss. By merely presenting thehearing through the eyes of acameraman they showed the weak­ness of the crusading senator andthe courage of Senator McClellan,who eventually showed the ludi­crousness of the charges ofespionage against a Negro cleaninglady who, when asked whether shehad read Karl Marx, replied "KarlWho?"

Friendly and Murrow werethreatened, and Murrow publiclyaccused in the weeks that followed.Eventually McCarthy lost his popu­lar support.

In a conversation prior to the, seminar Friendly expressed the fear

that Americans were ignoring theirown world, "guilty bystanders" to aworsening situation. He was broughtup, he said, on the "shiboleth that'what you don't know won't hurtyou." He described the presentadage more accurately as "What youdon't know can kill you."

Friendly linked these remarks tothe films he' had shown. Bothcharacterized the youth of thetelevision medium. Today no pro­gram is free from the editorialcontrol of the advertiser. The See ItNow series, sponsored by ALCOAgave Friendly and Murrow 27minutes in which they could presenttheir view of important issues. Eveninterpretive reporting of the typeseen in Annie Lee Moss would bebeyond the limits of currenttelevision broadcasting policies.

We asked Friendly, in light of hisstatement on the ignorance of theAmerican publiC, whether the pre­sentation of a program similar tothe first McCarthy documentarywould evoke the reaction that itstirred up 18 years ago. He repliedthat could not tell. CBS Newsrecieved 100,00 letters following thepresentation of the two films.Today's audiences, he said, do notwatch so carefully. Furthermore,they do not react; hence, his phrase,"guilty bystanders."

Friendly sees many of theMcCarthyist problems reoccurring inour modern media. He cited the useof Congressional subpoena of threehours of videotape interviews as anexample of the aimless search forevidence. He recalled the legalpurpose of the subpoena as theretrieval of specific evidence forspecific purposes. He criticized theuse of general subpoenas as"fishing."

New Attorney General JohnMitchell was the target of Friendly'sobservation of the newMcCarthyism. He saw the recurrenceof such extremes as. impossible inthe U.S. Senate today. A modernday McCarthy, he said, would haveto be in a position similar to that ofMitchell where he could not backedinto a proverbial corner.

The second seminar dealt withthe mechanics of current televisionreporting. Friendly spoke frompersonal experience of the splitsecond timing involved in producinga daily television show. He referredto danger of misestimating prioritiesin assigning news coverage and thefinancial decisions which even thereporters have to make.

Friendly's manner is casual,adjusting to his surroundings easily.He is modest about his knowledge

PARKING LOTS GODOWN THE TUBES

by Etaoin SchroedluStudent Edward A. Miller of the

Camelot Institute of Transcenden­talism hesitantly pushed open thedoor marked 'Director of InstituteVicissitudes' and entered the office.There was no one in sight, but avoice from behind a huge pile ofpapers in the corner called out, "Isthat you, Miller? I'm over here.Come on in."

"Good morning, sir," Millerbegan, after locating the Director."I've come to talk to you about theproblem of Institute parking .facili­ties, because my Student Brig choseme to do so, and because you're theperson who's handling the latestInstitute probe into the facilities.'

"One of the people, Miller, onyof the people. Yes. Well, I'm surethat I don't have to tell you thatthe situation is being blown up allout of proportion by some trouble­makers among YGU undergraduates.Why, I've got fitures right here toshow that there are still more thanenough parking places in theInstitute's vicinity to handle thecurrent need."

As R Explodes"Yes, sir, I'm sure that that's

true," began Miller. "All thestudents would like to see Is a littlebit of redistribution of those placesso that some of them would becloser to the Student Brigs."

"Well, Miller, I'd like to be ableto help you out on this, but I'mafraid that I just can't. Andanyway, a good, bracing walk toand from your car will do youworlds of good. Keep you in shape.Pass me that ashtray, would you?Do you have a car, Miller?'

"No, sir, I sold it and bought abicycle. They're faster, and don'tleave oil stains near the Brigs."

Oil Canned"Well, then, perhaps you'll be

more willing to see our side of thematter. Parking places cost a lot ofmoney, you know, and you can'tbuild them overnight anyway, so Idon't know what they expect us todo. After all, we're only tearing upone lot to build a building on thisterm."

"I'm sure that the students allappreciate that improved record, sir,but there's still a problem, we feeL,"

"I'm sure you do, but would anyof you be willing to pay the moneyto build a place for yourself? That's$1600 per spot. And parking metersaround here just wouldn't work;why, just the other day I noticedone in the Dean's office, which hadapparently been upr~ted and leftthere. As a warning, I guess.Shocking."

"Perhaps so, sir. But I'm not surethat the problem is all that severe.And anyway I know some contrac­tors in concrete who could do thejob for less."

"I'm sorry, Miller, but I have toget to work now, there's a lot todo. Could you see yourself out? Mysecretary phoned in this morningthat she couldn't find a parkingplace, and I haven't seen her since.Now, remember what I said. Let'skeep control of this situation andnot let it get out of hand."

"Yes, sir. Thank you for yourhelp, sir."

. Zappa has said that youngsterstoday wouldn't recognize good rockmusic if it came up and bit them onthe ass; it is to this audi\lnce headdresses his works. Perhaps adetailed lineup of the personagesinvolved will best explain:

THE CRITICAL EAR

Two cuts from Trout MaskReplica (Reprise 2027), by CaptainBeefheart and His Magic Band.Lester Bangs has called C. B. "theonly true dadaist in rock." Wellsaid, Les.

Merry-Go-Round, from An Even­ing with Wild Man Fisher (Reprise6332). This is Larry Fisher's themesong; it must be heard to be trulyappreciated.

Two cuts from Pretties For You(W. B. 1840), by Alice Cooper.Alice Cooper is a five-man group, ormaybe a four-man-one-womangroup, or maybe a five-womangroup, from L. A. Shazaam.

Amazingly, a cut from FarewellAldebaran (Reprise 6388) by JudyHenske and Jerry Yester. He is fromthe Spoonful, and she is of mid-60'sfolk fame. What's a nice cut likeyou doing on a disk like this? Alsofalling in this category is one fromTim Buckley's Blue Afternoon (WB. 1842).

A cut from Hot Rats (Reprise6356), Frank's group now that theMothers have broken up. The groupincludes Ian Underwood and Jean­Luc Ponty; with Captain Beefheartfeatured on vocals.

A cut from Burnt Weeny Sand­wich (Reprise 6370), the Mothers'latest album. Even though theybroke up last fall, fun-lovin Frankkeeps putting out albums.

The album even includes a fewrandom groups and artists, such asLord Buckley (A Most Immacu·lately Hip Aristocrat, R 6389), TimDawe ( Penrod, WB 1841), JeffSimmons ( Lucille Has Messed MyMind Up, R 6391), and even theever popular groupie group, theGTO's ( Permanent Damage, R6390). Sigh. Are you man enoughto buy the Best of B/S? I'm not.

Van Morrison (long ago of"Them"- "Gloria," "Here Comesthe Night," etc.) is another one ofthose people who first made rockpalatable in the middle 60's. Sincethen, he has remained relativelyobscure, which is hard to under­stand after listening to his newest

.~lbum, "Moondance" (WarnerBrothers-Seven Arts 1835). It'sgood.

Some people won't like itbecause Morrison sometimes sings asthough his mouth is full of marbles,

stride: sott, jazzy blues. This time,he is overdubbing and doing ithimself. It just doesn't fit in mostspots. You can't play the bluestrack by track-it has to spring fromyour heart. The lyrics are hard tosing or take, but when the group isgoing you don't care. Too bad thegroup is not on every track. Amediocre product.

ShortiesArgent-Remember the Zombies

"She's not There"? They died, andthe brains behind them went intoArgent; they have improved withage. Unfortunately, they have notmatured, so the songs are aboutlove lost and·found and girls. Nosongs about the problems of theworld. Just good rock and roll. Afine debut album.

The Small Faces started out loudand brash, and soon because loudbrash and good. The group wastight, colorful, and their songs wereunpretentious and fun. They brokeup last year-·or rather, they losttheir lead singer and guitarist. Hewas the grains behind the operation.They were replaced with RodStewart and Ron Wood, lead singerand bass/guitar player from the lateJeff Beck Group. Stir well, and youhave First Step, their new album. Itlacks the humor of their lastofferings, and is into serious harshblues-based material.

If you were waiting for the newSmall Faces album, you will bedisappointed, because what thegroup is now is a pop blVes group.One of the best, with more thanadequate talent, but the Old SmallFaces are dead. RIP.

Ron Wood plays guitar like JeffBeck, and that is the dominantsound here. The drums are alsomore in evidence, for they are usedto accent and emphasize rather thanas a rhythm instrument. The vocalsby Rod Stewart are rasping andshouting: the' best of the new breedof belters. The album is very goodin' its own way, but it is not theSmall Faces. Now you know. .

THE CALI FORNIA TECH

Every week thirty new albumsdebut, and, unless they are heraldedwith trumpets, full page ads andlots of airplay, they fall by thewayside. Thus, many good recordsgo unnoticed; many big names putout new, poorer albums, and manyterrible albums are bought becausethe name has been bandied aboutso. In this column, we will endeavorto inform you of about six albumsthat are noteworthy, for one reasonor another, each week.

As these figures clearly show, R& X movies have less pull in thestudios than the G movies-the bigstudios feel that they are in muchtrouble already, and that one goodpublic relations ploy is to over­emphasize G films at the expense ofothers. By way of comparison to"Hello Dolly!" mentioned above,X-rated "Midnight Cowboy" alsoreceived seven nominations, butonly one was in the craft category,while six were major awards. It willbe interesting to compare thesefindings with those based on theactual winners, to be announcedlater this month.

it is interesting to reflect on thecorrelation between Oscar awardnominees and the GMRX ratingeach received. In the table below,column A refers to the whole bodyof 64 new films eligible forconsideration; column B containsthe body of eighty-two nomi­nations; columns C and D comprisea significant division of the nomi­nees into two sections; column C·being those categories which alayman can easily distinguish super­ior performances (Le., best actor,best picture, best screenplay, etc).Column D comprises the craftawards (such as cinematography,best film editing, etc.). These arethe categories in which the studioshave much influence, being oftenused to bloat the number ofnominations for use in the ads ofexpensive blockbusters like "HelloDolly!" (which of its seven. nomina­tions, got six in these craftcategories).

Bartok, Piano Concerto Nos. 1 &3; New Philharmonia Orchestra,

<Pierre Boulez, Daniel Barenboim,piano; Angel 8-36605.

This recording offers a vividcomparison between the young andthe old Bartok. The earlier concer·to, written in 1926, is a proud andassertive piece of youth, filled withthe complexity that is "typically"Bartok. The piano, instead of beingan instrument of contrast or thesolo instrument, is used as apercussion instrument. The orches·tral color rests at a bare minimum.And, making no attempt to blendthe various timbres, Bartok placesblocks of woodwinds against blocksof strings, and achieves a mass ofharmonic splendor, barely brokenby the division of the piece into'movements.

Compared with the brashness ofthe earlier works, the Concerto No.3, composed in 1945, has the quietself-confidence associated with themature artist about it. The middlemovement, marked adagio religioso,has a simplicity of form andsubstance, using this to achievecomplete tranquility.

The first and last movementsmove naturally into and out of themiddle movement. The first, startingstrong and simple, develops into ascaled down lyricism that antici·pates the coming movement. Andwith the finish of the adagio, thepiece bursts into the finale with aplethora of counterpoint andorchestration.

Barenboim, although young, is arecognized master, and he uses theopportunity of this recording toreassert his ability and feeling. Allin all, it isa very good recordingand much recommended, especiallyto those who have avoided Bartokbecause they found himunlistenable.

GRIEG: PEER GYNT-Incidentalmusic for Ibsen's drama, Sir John'Barbirolli conducting the HalleOrchestra with Sheila Armstrong(soprano) and the Ambrosian Sing­ers; Angel S-3653l.

The music from Henrik Ibsen'sPeer Gynt is normally heard in theform of two suits (numbers one andtwo) by Grieg. Relevance to theplay is sacrificed for "musicaleffectiveness," as the jacket puts it,in the suites.

This record presents most of themusic for the play that can standalone. The overall quality of bothperformance and record is good;short reviews of the individualpieces are given below, in the orderin which they appear in the playand on the record.

The "Overture" is done well,although the viola solo seems toleave something to be desired."Norwegian Bridal Procession,"which is taken from one of Grieg'spiano pieces, is nothing exceptional.The" Prelude to Act 2 ("Ingrid'sLament") faithfully puts across theimpression of sadness, lamenting;the strings are especially well used.

"In the Hall of the MountainKing," my favorite piece from theIncidental Music, is superbly donehere. This recording is the first timethat I have heard voices used, asthey are supposed to be. This, alongwith Grieg's simple repetition of afour-bar passage, provide a superbeffect.

"Dance of the Mountain King'sDaughter," a continuation of theprevious piece, is also well done.

One of the most beautiful andmoving selections from the music is"Death of Ase." In this passage,Barbirolli communicates all of Peer'semotion to the listener. The Preludeto Act 4 ("Morning") is anexcellent symphonic painting thatrivals Grofe's picturesque GrandCanyon Suite.

"Arabian Dance," with the Am­brosian Singers and Patricia Clark(soprano), comes across very well:the voices and solo add to 'theeffect of the music. "Anitra'sDance" adds some exotica to themusic, and leads into "Solvejg'sSong." Sheila Armstrong's solo isvery good here.

Prelude to Act 5 ("Return ofPeer Gynt") is another symphonicpicture, this time of a storm. ThisPrelude is also done extremely well.

The closing piece of the record is"Solvejg's Cradle Sone" with SheilaArmstrong, soprano. The piece is afitting-and well done-finish to agreat record.

In case you hadn't guessed,enjoyed the record. I heartilyencourage you to go out and buy it,because whether you are already a

music. About the only bad thingabout the record is the excessivequantity of noise (a scratch filterseemed to clear this up, though). Ihighly recommend this record to

put out the shortest album, and theleast memorable. The music i~ verytight, very absorbing, with theproper blend of folk, country andblues, most of it wuite good: noneof it bad. But the songs just do notmake it: they do not say anythingyou can reflect upon. The problemwith this record is that it lackspersonality-the material with theBeau Brummels has more tempochanges, more power than almostanything here. Maybe next time,Ron, but this one is just for thebackground, and that's not whatyou wanted.

Randy Newman is beloved bythose in the know-everyone isrecording his songs, but I doubtthat they can do them justice. LikeDylan, he is a total effect, you can'tdivorce his voice from his word~,

from his piano, or from his backing.Thank Lenny Waronker for that.

The whole album works, but it

won't sell. Randy's songs are thesongs of the outsider, of the loser,poignant without being maudlin."Lucinda" is a girl he meets at abeach, but she is finally swallowedup by the mechanical beachsweeper. Offbeat and touching-like"suzanne," or "Mama Told Me Notto Come," two other songs on thealbum. The arrangements are firstclass, and the production is superb,but it does not make it as music forparties: it demands your fullattention, and it merits this respect.

The only thing I can say aboutJohn R. Sebastian is that it is asgood or better than the best of theSpoonful. Nothing more need besaid.

BIZET'S GREATEST HITS, Leo­nard Bernstein, New York Philhar­monic; Andre Kostelanetz and hisOrchestra; Eugene Ormandy, Phila­delphia Orchestra; Mormon Taber­nacle Choir; Columbia MS 7517.

This record is yet another inColumbia's seemingly endless seriesof classical "greatest hits." GeorgesBizet's two most prominent worksare the music from Carmen and hismusic for Daudet's play L 'Arle­sienne. Both are well represented onthis album.

Side one of the record is devotedto highlights from Carmen. Theselections are "March of the Torea­dors," "Habanera," "Marche desCont re b an die rs," "S eguidille,""Flower Song," "Les Voici," "Inter­mezzo," "Les Dragons D'Alcala,"and "Micaela's Aria." All are welldone, and "Les Voici," with theMormon Tabernacle Choir, is ex­ceptionally good.

Side two consists of four wellplayed pieces. "I Hear as in aDream" (from The Pearl Fishers) is

.performed by Andre Kostelanetzand his Orchestra. Ormandy and thePhiladelphia Orchestra play "DanseBoheme" (from Carmen Suite No.2), "Farandole" (from L 'ArlesienneSuite No.2), and the completeL 'Arlesienne Suite No.1. Ormandydoes a very good job with all threeselections.

All in all, this is a good record.You get 57+ minutes of Bizet's best

does the cello.) With the entranceof the cello, the piece movesthrough all ranges and manythemes. The third movement aloneappears an infinite source ofindependent themes and leads fi­nally to one of the fastest cres­cendos and conclusions (not intempo but in time) ever composed.Dvo rak, appropriately enough,seems to be saying "what more canI say."

BEETHOVEN'S GREATESTHITS, Leonard Bernstein, New YorkPhilharmonic; Eugene Ormandy,Philadelphia Orchestra; PhilippeEntremont; Richard P. Condie,Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Colum­bia MS 7504.

BEETHOVEN'S GREATESTHITS is one of Columbia's GreatestHits series, and it is probably thebest of the lot. Beethoven isconsidered by many to be' thegreatest composer of the classicalera. This record, then, contains thegreatest of the greatest.

The first cut is the firstmovement of the Fifth Symphony,performed by Leonard Bernsteinand the New York Philharmonic.Bernstein's rendition, from an ear­lier Columbia recording (MS 6468),is one of the best I've heard; hecertainly does justice to the musie.

The rest of side one is devotedto four shorter works by Beethoven.MINUET IN G, FUR ELISE, andTURKIST MARCH are performed

'by the Philadelphia Orchestra withEugene Ormandy. None of thesepieces are really impressive. Theother piece from side one is thefirst movement from MOONLIGHTSONATA, with Philippe Entremontat the piano. The selection is aboveaverage, but still nothing exception­al.

Side two contains a single work,the final movement of theCHORAL SYMPHONY. Eugene Or­mandy and the Philadelphia Or­chestra, along with The MormonTabernacle Choir, do a good,although not exceptional, job.

Although I might have preferreda movement from the EMPERORCONCERTO (of which Columbiahas a fine recording with Serkin,Bernstein, and the New YorkPhilharmonic), instead of a coupleof the short pieces, this recordbelongs in the collection of anyBeethoven aficionado. It has goodmusic, good sound, good perfor­mers, and it makes a greatBeethoven "sampler."

Dvorak, Concerto in B minor,op. 104; Royal Philharmonic Or­chestra, Sir Adrian Boult, MstislavRos tropovich, cellist; Seraphim8-60136.

Neither Dvorak nor Rostropovichdisappoint the listener in thisalbum, although the technical aspectworks hard for disappointment.'Much of the' orchestration blendstogether too much to be effective,giving the listener a homogeneoussound that is not found in theconcert hall and not expected inmodern recordings. Even the tri­angle in the final movement, whichwould normally stand out in aorchestra playing at full volume, iswell hidden.

Only through Dvorak's masteryof music and Rostropovich's mas­tery of the cello and Dvorak is therecording able to redeem itself. Thecello, although little appealing toDvorak, became the vehicle of someof his finest works, this being oneof the best. Using a small orchestra,Dvorak molds the cello and orches­tra into a work that is classic in itssubtlety, but romantic in its richsonority and orchestral texture.Melody is the chief device ofDvorak and this he uses to its fullextent.

The sombre first theme isintroduced by the orchestra, prepar­ing the path for the cello. (It isinteresting to note that the melodyseems to fit the horns as well as it

or because his voice is not terriblymusical. But I'd have to disagree­his voice fits perfectly with hismusic, bluesy but not raw. And asfor happy-this album is good for.keeping the bile level down, makingit one of the happiest I've heard.

It's hard to pick out particularsongs as outstanding, but I'd guess

, that "Stoned Me" and "GladTidings," the first and last cuts, arethe best. In them is the best ofwhat Morrison offers.' You'd likethem, and you'd probably like therest. Next time you buy, buy thisone.

GRIEG'S GREATEST HITS,Leonard Bernstein, New York Phil­harmonic; Andre Kostelanetz, Co­lumbia Symphony; George Szell,Oeveland Orchestra; Eugene Orman-

. dy, Philadelphia Orchestra; PhilippeEntremont; Columbia MS 7505.

Side one of this album consistsof a single work, Grieg's Concertoin A Minor for Piano and Orchestra,as performed by Eugene Ormandyand the Philadelphia Orchestra, withPhilippe Entremont at the piano.The performances is so-so; this wasthe first time that I had heard thispiece of music, and I wasn't reallyimpressed-perhaps that is part ofthe reason.

Side two has five works: Norwe­gian Dance No.2, Peer Gynt SuiteNo.1, "Homage March" (from"Sigurd Jorsalfar" Suite), "IchLiebe Dich," and "March of theDwarfs" (from Lyric Suite). Szelland the Cleveland Orchestra did amagnificent job on Peer Gynt, andOrmandy and the Philadelphia Or­chestra did a good job on the LyricSuite excerpt. The other pieces areabout average.

Although I might have preferredmore of Grieg's music derived from'folk themes rather than the Concer­to, this record is still representativeof Grieg's work. Even though thereis 59 nubytes of Grieg here, youcan probably do better in an albumof Grieg's music; shop around.

Juarez alone is worth seeing theshow for, but the other acts aregood, too. Comedian Ken Green­wald is back, and at his best hereminds me of Charlie Manna or BillCosby in his ability to conjure upridiculous images in the minds ofthe audience. In addition, he givesvoice to the stories he tells withsound effects included. I hope hecomes back more often, because heis a very funny fellow.

He writes at least some ofhis songs, and he is a very goodwriter. His singing is good, but itcould be better. Maybe it's just thathe writes better than he sings,because that would explain it.

This is the elder 60% of Juarez.

The New, Improved version ofJuarez (formerly the Baker StreetIrregulars) are at the Ice House thisweek and next. Even if you sawthem last fall, I strongly urge youto go and see them again, becausethey are different and better.Before, they were just a great folkgroup, no better than, say, Peter,Paul and Mary. Now they movefrom style to style, including a largeamount of what is best described asrock.

Juarez still does some of the oldsongs, such as "Gertrude," "Maryand Michael McRae," and "Me andMr. Jefferson," but in a way thattakes into account the changes inthe group. There are two newmembers, in addition to Barbara,Mike, and Ron. Between them, thegroup now plays piano, drums,guitar, electric bass, kazoo, violin,tambourine, vibrophone,. harmonica,and flute. This makes for someinteresting arrangements, since howoften does a group have a femalevocalist doubling on bass? Thedrummer and vibrophonist ( (er?) isnamed, I believe, Mike Brandibury,distinct from the other Mike. Theother new member, whose name Ido not know, plays bass and flutewith equal excellence. After hearinghim, I may never listen to anotherJethro Tull record, the latter beingso outstripped in talent.

Juarez gives three real examplesof amazing talent in non-folk musicin "The Autumn People" (electronicmusic), "Nottamun-town" (sort ofjazz), and "St. Mary's Railroad"(definitely rock). The first in ascience-fiction song, sort of analternate to "2525." The second is
