Jeffrey L. Elman '69, HEP director, stated yesterday that he had received the gift from the Stern Family Foundation of Washington, D.C. He said that $1500 of the grant was allotted to Project-related research he is doing this summer, and the remainder will be used to pay salaries to section men in the seminars. There might be some money left over, which would be used next spring to finance the writing of preliminary reports for the HEP, Elman added...
From 1953 to 1956 the lbis had no such hair-raising ordeals but was periodically stolen by a Crimson cartoonist, David Royce, known to his contemporaries as "the human fly.' Later it was also presented to Caroline Kennedy whose family seemed to understand the nature of the gift more readily than had the Russian delegates on Park Avenue...

Since the drawings are mostly landscapes or sketches for larger compositions, the gallery placed them, wherever possible, next to a photocopy of the finished work. The demonstration is plain: as West's ideas progressed from initial draft to finished sketch to final oil, faces froze, bodies puffed...
Icing & Crash Pad. These two hits-as well as more recent successes such as Paper Cup and Wichita Lineman-reveal Webb's gift for strong, varied rhythms, inventive structures, and rich, sometimes surprising harmonies. Threaded through them all are simple melodies that occasionally evoke country music or other sounds of his Southwest background (Wichita Lineman features the wow-wow-wow sound of the prairie wind whipping through electrical wires). "A pop song should have a lyric that's basically a poem," Webb says. "If people get the feeling, then the lyric is successful-whether they know what...
