Because of Springfield's strength in the shorter events, places by freshmen Sigrid Gabler and Marjorie Scharoun, and sophomore Alice Neuhauser in the 200-meter run and the 60-yard dash were essential in keying the Crimson victory. Scharoun grabbed second place in both contests with times of 26.4 and 7.6 respectively, while Neuhauser took third in the dash (7.7) and Gabler also grabbed the bronze in the 200 meter event...
...Marjorie Scharoun and Mariquita "Skeets" Patterson, both freshmen, should turn heads this year. Coach Pappy Hunt feels that Scharoun has the potential to be as good as Kathy Rice--who holds Harvard's dash record--and that Patterson's contributions to the hurdles, long jump, and dash will be invaluable...
...skyscraper but of the piled and scattered, as if--like the baroque boulevards, the bombed-out imperial facades in the East, the shape of the divided city as a whole--the great spaces had been split-up and re-scaled. The most romantic of the architecture--Hans Scharoun's philharmonic hall and Mies van der Rohe's New National Gallery (if only the romanticism of plain marble and great steel beams)--is set apart in the developing Tiergarten Cultural Center...
Symphony audiences have traditionally had to face the music from the loud end of the horn; most concert halls put the orchestra on a stage and send the sound through a proscenium arch.

He had observed that listeners at jamfests naturally circled around the musicians, and wanted to test his idea that "the natural location of music, spatially and optically, is in the center of a music hall...
There are 136 pyramidal ceiling reflectors for sound, but no one is eager to tinker with them. At its opening, Scharoun's new hall seemed acoustically excellent as Von Karajan filled its angular spaces with squiggles of sound from softest pianissimo to heftiest fortissimo, leading his firstchair men through a delicate movement of a Haydn string quartet and then the full orchestra through Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Critics breathed sighs of relief over the splendid sound-function, it seemed, had not been betrayed by revolutionary form...
