...random choice of almost any group of compositions, such as the program for the Sanders Theatre concert this week, is almost sure to reveal numerous influences of dance music, both direct and indirect. The last section of Debussy's "La Mer", for instance, employs the rhythms of jazz in an unmistakable fashion. But more interesting than this are the scherzo of the Beethoven Third Symphony and D'Indy's "Istar" Variations. These forms lead one to a consideration of an aspect of the relationship between popular art and "intellectual" music which bears on the whole development of the large conventional...
There are only two fundamental rules-hit fairly; stick to the issue. Down at Atlanta Penitentiary the boys can hardly wait for the program to go on Thursday nights. Just as ardent are some 5,000,000 U. S. radio listeners, including members of some 1,400 groups which gather weekly to hear the debates, fight them out locally later. Most eager of all are the thousands who vie weekly by mail for the 1,600 seats in Manhattan's Town Hall and a chance to heckle the speakers in person. Anxious, too, for a chance at the program...

They feel that the vague program of discussion, publicity, and opposition to "mass fatalism" is negative and incomplete. They are asking for a positive program, with well defined objectives and straight-forward means of reaching them...
...various elements which have been brought together in Fogg Museum, may, at first glance, seem unrelated. They do, however, form an unified program for the purposes of vagabonding. They are joined to one another in the contrapuntal manner which characterizes a Dos Passos novel. Chronology, in the traditional sense of the word, is distorted; seemingly insignificant details are accentuated and blossom forth in their true colors to capture the imagination of the curious person. It is possible for one to find, in these many types of art now on exhibit, that diversity of kind and opposition of approach which...
