designated Thursdays noon assembly as the day forseniors to vote for four SeniorDay speakers Haberstock Last Concert Mediocre By JEANETTE HABERSTOCK The Conservatory Orchestra concert cn Friday night offered a program at times outstandingly professional and often disappointingly amateur By far the most impressive parts of the concert were those featuring David Hottmann baritone soloist and senior in the Conservatory whoseperformance very closely approached that of a polished artist In our anticipation iur the orchestra attained in their previous concert we could only be disheartened at the poor start which was made withBeethovens Fidelio overture Perhaps the technical slips in the opening bars cast a reserve over the group which prevented them from really getting into the spirit of the naturally energetic music although the string sections occasionally did play with their customary competenceAdmittedly the work is a difficult one to open with and fortunately the music to follow quite compensated for any jarring of the senses we might have suffered Hottmann From the moment that David Hottmann walked on the stage he possessed poise and dignity His first two numbers from Mozart s Le Nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni displayed his capac y for both dramatic and beautifully lyric song The orchestralaccompaniment was cleanly played and the solo voice balanced well against it almost consistentlyDifficult intervals in the recitative passages were clear and decisive the quality of the voice was never strained and always vibrantly resonant Dramatic Association To Present

Carlo theorchestra achieved some gooddramatic effects and especially in the Aria we were furtherconvinced of the versatility of the soloist Orchestral Richness Tschaikowskys FourthSymphony in F Minor was handled with all the flash and passion that if its due Although the work is far from being truly great orprofound it presents ampleopportunity for colorful orchestraleffects Director Robertson and the ensemble took advantage of this opportunity and achievedexcellent richness in the full orchestral sections as well as delicate and dramatic contrasts The second movement in its rhythmicvitality and the third in the execution of pizzacato technique wereespecially deserving of mention The orchestra gradually did pull itself together therefore as the program progressed The audience left having

of theLegal Committee of the Cleve land chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union in a talk Friday Mr Fitzsimmons addressed the annual membership meeting of the Oberlin Civil Liberties Uniondiscussing the Implications of the Smith Act Trial in Cleveland He opened his speech by quoting the Declaration of Independence Mr Fitzsimmons stressed theportion dealing with the peoples right to overthrow an unsatisfactory form of government andquestioned the Smith Act as being a law forbidding the overthrow or the advocating of an overthrow of the government How can the Smith Act get away withforbidding advocacy when the country has a Bill of Rights he said No Fair Trial No Communist could be given a fair trial now in the United States because the tenor of any com munity is against Communism The opinion of the general public toward Communists is these are the worst people in the world and For WOBC Votes Mary Pietsch 1956 Review Editor By DICK PAGE Student Council Sunday night approved Mary Pietsch as the 195657 editor of the Review and tentatively approved Craig Richmonds nomination of Bob Bergstresser as the new director of WOBC Miss Pietsch who succeeds editor Dick

year and since April has served as Friday issue editor She is also the Colorado delegation chairman for Mock Convention a member of GS and president of United World Federalists Richmond the retiring director of WOBC nominated Bergstresser a junior and current WOBCProgram Director as the new station head Council tabled finalapproval until its next meeting At the suggestion of BruceMarcus Council moved to appoint an ad hoc committee to work with the subcommittee of thePrudential Committee which is engaged in locating offcampusrecreational areas Marcus chairman of the YMCA Chance Creek Committeeexplained that the existingsubcommittee is composed of twomembers who cannot represent allorganizations on campus interested in offcampus recreational areas With the approval of the new committee interested organizations should contact Marcus Larry Gottheim moved that Council appoint another ad hoc committee to analyze the existing social situation on campus The committee consists of twomembers of Council two from Mens Board two from Womens Board two from Student LivingCommittee and two from the student body Jerry Nelson Maurie Marcus Jim Carter and Gottheim were the four Council membersselected as representatives from Council and also from the student body Mary Jane Caldwell and Steve Kaplan were the two Council members appointed to serve on the newly enlarged InternationalAffairs Committee which is the screening committee for Russia representative applicants In other Russia representative business Bob Kummer moved that the sreening committee place on the ballot no less than three candidates for Russia representativeHowever after lengthy discussion this motion was defeated 65 Council discussed motorscooters and motorcycles and after hearing Kummers report of the police department stand passed two motions The police chief said that the department had ceased to ticket operators since two years ago the College stated that the problem was not one under police jurisdiction because the offenses were being committed an College property Nelson moved that in view of nothing done to them can be bad enough Mr Fitzsimmons said Were dealing with mass hys teria Mr Fitzsimmons stated thatdefendants in the Cleveland Smith Act Trial were being tried on the testimony of 16 persons 12 of whom had joined the Communist Party at the behest of the FBI or had decided after joining toinform on Party activitiesFitzsimmons considered the peopleunreliable and deplored an act thatdepended for its administration on such lowtype people In conclusion Mr Fitzsimmons drew a parallel between the Smith Act and a parody on a bill called Ending the Horse ThiefMenace The bill defined horse thief as being anyone who even if he had seen a horse would have stolen it if he could and ended with What kind of people do you think would oppose an antihorse thief act In a brief question period which followed the address Mr Fitz simmons said The purpose of free speech is not so somemealymouthed guy can get up and say what he thinks but so you can sit back and hear what others think r J MARY PIETSCH the evidence at hand Kummers report we feel that no action should be taken by Council or by the College on the problem of driving or parking motor scooters or motorcycles beyond theprovision of parking areas for such vehicles These parking areas graveled sections of thecurblawns must be provided by the College explained the police chief Kaplan then moved thatCouncil also pass the followingresolution Council has beeninformed by the ConferenceCommittee that there have beencomplaints as to the conduct of motor scooters and cycles especially in regard to driving on sidewalks Council feels that these complaints are justified However asCouncil also feels that the campus has an excess of regulations andregulators already it recommends that no official action be taken at this time Council recommends that the owners of motor scooters and cycles correct the existingsituation adequately on their own Council approved both motions by Nelson and Kaplan Two new provisos concerning the dining hall announcementsystem were passed 1announcements
