Over 75 per cent of those polled rejected the second floor of the Union as a site for the center, with Radcliffe girls being most vocal in their objections, but a section of Holyoke Center found favor in the eyes of 60 per cent...
Quirky Themes. Commissioned by the city of Mainz to celebrate its 2,000th anniversary, Hindemith's new cantata is scored for three vocal soloists, a chorus and orchestra, and is based on the Fastnacht, or pre-Lenten festival, for which Mainz is famous.

Only in the final act did she display the full range of her vocal power; when she did, she reached the Met's distant chairs with astonishing clarity...
