...instrument, Tcherepnin does not enforce this. Instead, the music professor says he looks for students who are open-minded, curious, and interested in learning. Pierce says she first discovered the course a few years ago when a friend brought her up to the electronic music studio on the third floor of Paine Hall. After talking to Tcherepnin, she was admitted on the basis of her determination and "the professor's vibes," she says. "I don't play an instrument, but I can still play music," Pierce says...

"I got disgusted with the pounding regularity of popular music," she says, adding that her interest was also sparked by her experience in Visual and Environmental Studies 158r, "Sound and Image."

He also knew that it would take weeks or months before the House version could be reconciled with a Senate bill and put into a form that Reagan might sign. Thus, attaching...
...confused limbo. The Senate has approved the President's aid request; the House has not. Michel announced that he intends to seek a "clean" vote on the funding by rounding up the required signatures of a majority of the House (218 members) to bring a bill directly to the floor. If he succeeds, the earliest vote could come on May 12. If he fails, the contra funding would be at least indefinitely delayed...
