Dean Glimp suggested the open forum for Friday at a meeting with HUC members yesterday afternoon. The format for the meeting, which will be held at Lowell Lecture Hall at 2:30 p.m., has not been determined, but each Faculty speaker will probably explain what happened in the Faculty meeting and then answer questions from the floor...
...Life. Apparently, the Beatles themselves realize that their work in the recording studio has become too mannered and grown too far away from their beginnings in Liverpool. Next month they will tape a one-hour TV show for the BBC in concert format, facing a live audience for the first time in more than two years. It may be that the manifest mannerism of The Beatles will turn out to be what it now seems-just a day in the life of four of the century's most inventive pop artists...
Flatulent View, Since each program was padded to fill at least a two-hour magazine format, the arresting segments were buried among too many soporific ones. PBL wasted time too often duplicating the spot news and standard documentary coverage that the commercial networks already were doing thoroughly and more lavishly.

...decision of the new command was to cut the show back from two hours to roughly 90 minutes and to forgo, most weeks, the magazine format. Generally, each future broadcast will have a single theme (this Sunday's: a study of whites' reaction to integration). There will be no more of what Westin calls "instant topicality." Westin is now producing background programs on issues that he anticipates will again become crucial-the crisis on the campuses and the power of the military-industrial complex, for example. When finished, the shows will go into a bank to await...
...Jeff Beck Group has a number called "Beck's Boogie" that the group does early in each show. The format is simple: Beck plays the melody of the line "Mary had a little lamb" solo, and then the rest of the players crash in with a few bars of straight percussion. Silence again, and Beck repeats the phrase. Each time, however, he does it a little differently and uses different elements of the guitar. Once he plays it entirely on the frets, once using wah-wah pedal, once slapping the strings with his open palm. The improvisation gets more...
