...chorus master, conducted clean, well-balanced though somewhat earthbound readings of the overture to Wagner's Die Meistersinger and Copland's recently revised Canticle of Freedom. The evening's climax-Beethoven's formidable Ninth ("Choral") Symphony-was a feat of musical levitation.

The Committee can be nothing but a help in working for more communication between students and administration. Mrs. Bunting should realize this. She should formally recognize the committee, and reappoint administration representatives. By not doing so she is wasting an opportunity to get in touch with students, and is thus showing once again that she does not take student opinion seriously, This kind of attitude can only...
