...will be on leave next semester. The work requires a huge orchestra as well as mezzo-soprano and tenor soloists. Each of the six movements sets to music texts from a collection of Chinese poetry translated into German called Die chinesische Floete. Together they take an entire hour to perform. The work was thus the weightiest on the program, and received the bulk of rehearsal time since the HRO's last concert a month...
Eastern will perform the maintenance and training role for both carriers' Concordes, the Anglo-French SST that will be rolled out publicly next week in preparation for 1971 delivery. Eastern will probably also service the Boeing SST when it becomes operational in 1974. In addition, the airlines plan to get extra mileage out of their respective peak traffic seasons by leasing jumbo jets from each other. During its heavy winter runs to Florida and Mexico, for example, Eastern might use TWA planes; TWA in turn could add Eastern jumbos on its busy summertime transatlantic flights...

She had absolute control over her orchestra and managed...

A smaller elective body, the Undergraduate Council, would meet regularly to perform legislative functions. In town meeting style, the full RUA could be convened by 25 students at large, and its resolutions and measures would be binding on the Council...
