...group to watch this season is the Bach Society, a chamber orchestra of some forty players. Nils Vigeland's talent, taste and personality make him the most exciting musical force at Harvard. Given any kind of support by his orchestra he will provide an extraordinary season of unusual works. Only one familiar piece is in the first program of Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Schumann, and Wolf. While the HRO has abolished soloists, the Bach Society will use them in every program. A special American Music concert will feature student compositions.

An early test of prevailing sentiment is set for this week when the 25-member General Committee, which determines the agenda, decides whether to give priority to the U.S. or the Albanian resolutions...
...them: short, stocky, hook-nosed, balding, he resembles not at all the pipe-smoking, tweedy grandees like McGeorge Bundy who have tried for City Council with such disastrous results. Added to his appearance, there are his credentials: Robert F. Kennedy Action Corps, Cedar Grove Civic Association, Boston Junior Chamber of Commerce, Catholic Youth Organization, Knights of Columbus, St. Gregory's Holy Name Society--it is an awesome list for one so young. DiCara has put in years. of this type of service, and now he is seeking the payoff...
