Reisman Book Discussed By EihicalSociety
"Individualism Reconsidered," a book by David Reisman, was discussed at this week's meeting of the study group of the Public Affairs Committee of the Riverdale-Yonkers Ethical Society, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Rot-kin of 303 Lee Ave.
The group tried to evaluate Reisman's statements about individualism in a democratic society and determine if he was correct.
Beginning with Reisman's statement that "no ideology however noble can justify the sacrifice of an individual to the needs of a group," the members investigated whether it was ever justifiable. Segregation Is Focal Point
The problem of segregation was a focal point in the discussion of Reisman's book, Mr. Rotkin reported.
The arguments centered around three points Reisman made in'his book, said Mr. Rotkin. These are:
1. It "is a fallacy to assume people can cooperate only if they understand each other.
2. A consensus on values is not necessary in a democracy.
3. To enforce agreement on fundamental values seems a good way to bring on civil war. Value Chang*- Needed
Members of the group suggested that the North and South must have a closer set of values to solve the integration problem. Not ing that a change of values can't be forced, the members nevertheless concluded that "until the North and South come closer to agreeing, the problem of what we call bigotry in the South will not be solved."
The group generally agreed that "although Reisman's ideas are very brilliant, we find that through ambiguity in certain places and being too general in others his arguments lost the impact they might have had," said Mr. Rotkin.
One example Mr. Rotkin listed of Reisman's generalities was his continued statements about the dangers to individualism without ever saying what they were specifically or how to counteract them.

FamousChappaquaConductor R# M# peet x0 Wed Gathers 'Backyard Orchestra' Hartsdale Girl
By KAY ROSS If a community is going to or
ganize an orchestra, there's nothing like having a famous conductor right in one's own "backyard".
This is the happy lot of Chappa-qua whose chamber orchestra will present its premiere concert Feb. 7 in the Horace Greeley High School auditorium under direction of Boris Koutzen of Pleasantville.
Dr. Koutzen, a native of Russia, launched his musical career at the age of eleven making his debut as a concert violinist. At seventeen, he won a national competition for the post of first violinist, Moscow State Opera House Orchestra. After graduating from the Moscow State Conservatory, he studied in Berlin, and in 1923 arrived in this country with "just enough money in my pocket to join the musicians' union". He became a member of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, then in 1925 headed the violin department of the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music, a position he still holds.
The conductor, composer and violinist,. h*t had a number of his symphonij* vorks published and is the recipient of numerous honors.
He ia not alone in the family wife, Inez Koutzen, is widely known as a concert pianist, accompanist and teacher. His son, George, was formerly the youngest member of the NBC Symphony, was founder and is director of the Knickerbocker Chamber Players now touring the nations, and is first cellist with the Symphony of the Air. Dr. Koutzen's daughter. Nadia. has been a leading concert violinist since her debut with the Philadelphia Symphiny at the age of nine.
When Boris Koutzen believes that establishment of * permanent small orchestra in the North Westchester area will contribute materially to it« artistic and cultural life, he certainly knows whereof
' he speaka and has the know-how to do it.

"A detective story writer is loose on the university campus and to his students' surprise he seems to be a pretty normal man".
This is the intriguing introduction in "The Texas Ranger", published monthly at the University of Texas, to a story about Larch-monts Fred Dannay. The author of the famed "Eiiery Queen" books, together with his cousin Manfred Lee, is visiting lecturer this year on campus.
Mr. Dannay has a rather unique approach'to his teaching. No hour quizzes and no finals are required in his courses, just an average of 1.000 words of fiction a week. And if you've never tried, you'll never know just how difficult that can be. Give us quizzes.
The Dannays hope to be back in Westchester by the end of this month, unless they take a side trip to California.
