New York Rock and Roll Ensemble Highlights Spring Fling
BY DAVID WAGNER
Who knows why things happen
as they do in the popular music
field? it’s been two and a half
centuries since Johann Sebas
tian Bach was the darling of the
world’s musicians, and now
suddenly the old boy is every
bit as "In” as ever. The trend
reached its most prominent
peak several months back, at a
time when the variety of faith
ful and no-so recordings of JSB
had ballooned unbelievably, as
Columbia announced the issue of
a pair of new albums carrying
the startling title "Switched-
On Bach”.
Now a new quintet who call
themselves the New York Rock
& Roll Ensemble are rising in
the limelight with, as their name
certainly does not imply, new
sounds from the old Bach
scores.
It is impossible to tell, when
the Ensemble first trots on
stage, just what they plan to do:
their bushy heads of hair and
their beards are at paradoxical
odds with their black coats and
tails, starched collars and bil
lowing ruffles. But on they
come, carrying a pair of oboes,
a pair of guitars, and a cello--
whlle already on the stage are
a set of drums and an electric
keyboard on which the oboeists,
when they tire of honking, will
demonstrate their versatility.
They play Bach, And in their
Bach is more than a little of
the contemporary sound. And
then they go modern: they play
Beatle music, or anything else
that comes to mind--and there
is the polished perfection of
fine classical music, the care
ful integration of counterpoint
and melodic variety, tonal
modulation and musical wit. The
five believe that "Rock ‘n’ Roll
Is chamber music, "to quote
oboe/organist Michael Kamen,
" the twentieth century’s equiva
lent of a baroque quintet”. Lis

believe it.
For the truth is that the

or to dissonant messages about

Early pre-registration will

THE LANCE has attempted to
clarify the purpose and func
tion of the Faculty Executive
Committee in this article. In
an attempt to further the co
operation of the faculty and
students, THE LANCE has pro
posed a recommendation for
student representation on the
Faculty Executive Committee
as well as all faculty com
mittees.
After the action of the Faculty
Executive Committee In the ex
pulsion of Bert St. John, a
large number of students l)e-
gan questioning the once almost
unknown executive committee
of the faculty. Now a major topic
of student conversation, the Fa
culty Executive Committee has
undergone harsh criticism from
students who feel that this stu
dent-less, select CO m mlttee
acts In student affairs without
student representation.
The five faculty members are
elected by the faculty to act
Needed on Faculty Committees
in behalf of the faculty. Only
full professors and associate
professors are eligible for
nomination to serve on the com
mittee. The dean of Students
and the Dean of the College are
provided seats on the commit
tee along with the President of
the College who also reserves
the right to appoint any two
faculty members he wishes
whenever he needs further sup
port.
The powers which the Board
of Trustees has entrusted to
the Faculty Executive Commit
tee are extensive. They range
from the academic affairs of the
students to confidential per
sonality problems within the
faculty. The academic welfare
of the college community is
the main concern of the com
mittee and any student or fa
culty member who Impedes this
academic atmosphere is sub
ject to the review of the com
mittee. The Faculty Executive
Committee Is given every right
to probe into the affairs of any
academic affair unless there is
a faculty committee designated
to do so.

Lance’s” new
‘70.
The President Is subject to
the Board of Trustees, the
Deans are subject to the Presi
dent and the faculty is subject
to the Dean and President.
Therefore, the wishes of the
Board of Trustees are those
which are actually carried out
In the decisions of the Faculty
Executive Committee. The stu
dents are in no way repre
sented in this branch of the
Board’s machinery.
The question so many stu
dents have raised in the St.
John case was what right did
the Faculty Executive Com
mittee have in interfering in
the matter. The Committee had
every right according to the
catalog:
It Is essential..that students.,
behave responsibly and that any
who are unwilling to follow the
policies and procedures of the
institution may expect discipli
nary action. Such action by the
college, or its officials, while
directed toward the welfare of
all students, must be firm when
the student involved does not
show convincing evidence ofbe-
Ing in sympathy with the pur
poses, policies, and procedures
of the institution.
However, student opinion has
no outlet in the present Faculty
Executive Committee set up.
No where in the framework of
the faculty handbook is there
a provision for student repre
sentation on the Faculty Exe
cutive Committee.
There have been differing
opinions on the matter of stu
dent representation on the fa
culty committee. It Is the feel
ing of THE LANCE that it Is
a necessary step for students
to be placed on all faculty com
mittees if everyone Involved
on the St. Andrews campus
community Is striving toward
the same goal of a better learn
ing and living atmosphere. The
Faculty Executive Committee
and the Admissions Committee
are the two most important
committees on which students
have no representation.
Dr, Douglas Hix, associate
professor of Christian Thought
and member of the Faculty
Executive CommIttee ex
pressed that he would “very,
very, very much like to see
student representation on the
committee.” Also chairman of
the Code of Responsibility Com
mittee and member of the Self
Study Committee, Dr. Hix
pointed out that both of these
committees have recommended
student representation on fa
culty committees.
Dr. William Alexander, pro
fessor of religion and philo
sophy, also expressed his de
sire to see student represen
tation on the Faculty Executive
Committee. Dr. Alexander em
phasized the point that unless
students and faculty do not work
together in their efforts, the
common goal of both factions
would be Impaired. The method
by which students and faculty
could best cooperate would be
mutual participation on student
and faculty committees.
It is necessary for the word
ing in the Faculty Handbook
to be changed, and the body
which can make these amend
ments is the faculty. It is im
probable that the amendments
will be made this year, yet the
various channels of communi
cation between the faculty and
students must contlnueto
strengthen in order for both
factions to further cooperative
government.
The challenge this recom
mendation indicates to presi
dent-elect Mike Ferrell Is
great. It Is necessary for stu-

play music, but they play it
with a capital "M”. And they
aren’t playing to please teeny-
boppers, or the Establishment,
or music teachers, or Leonard
Bernstein. Somehow, though,
the Ensemble Is appealing to
these people, and to more.
Dorian Rudnytsky (cello),
Marty Fulterman (oboe/per-

School of Music, which is, as
musicians know, nothing to slide
over lightly. The guitarists
Brian Corrigan and Cliff Ni-
vison, on the other hand, began
their careers playing more
familiar popular Rock. To
gether the five have wowed au
diences at The Bitter End in
New York, have wowed Leo

young people, classical music
buffs, and just about everybody
else who attends their concerts.

Bookstore Labeled
Inadequate in Poll
BY JIM POPE
Recently sixteen St. Andrews
students were asked a series of
questions concerning the cam
pus student store.
Ten of those questioned all
agreed that the prices charged
were much too high. Others
felt that the prices were no
higher than those in other col
lege book stores.
Ellen Clarke, a senior said,
"There is no selection. They
should have one of the persons
who works for the Intimate in
Chapel Hill to give them les
sons’’.
Many polled thought that the
hours should'be extended in or
der to give students more op
portunity to use this campus
service.
Another major gripe was that
the student store does not offer
a sufficient variety of browser
reading. One freshman woman
said, "They should have more
pleasure reading books be
cause there is no bookstore in
Laurlnburg”.
Another freshman girl com
plained that book prices are
raised a great deal on text
books.
"Book prices are outrageous
here,” Ken McGinnis pointed
out. He, as did many, felt that
because S, A. orders a large
Committee Outlines Festivals;
Plan Announced for Next Year
The arts in our age are creat
ing a revolution and the St.
Andrews Concert-Lecture
Committee Is revolutionizing
Its presentation of the various
arts. The tentative plans for the
1969-70 academic year Include
the presentation of four festi
vals of the arts.
The first event in the fall
will be a ‘‘Festival of Black
Artists.” This will be followed
by a “Festival of the Avant
Garde” which will present elec
tronic music and experimenta
tions in cinema. The second se
mester there will be a "Fes
tival of Eastern Arts” with
dance and instrumental music
featured. Finally, there will be
a "Festival of the Romantics.”
Each festival will Include a
variety of events that will ex
plore various aspects of the
area spotlighted by the oc
casion.
The Concert-Lecture Com
mittee will expand its operation
and Include a large number of
faculty and student In the actual
presentation of the festivals.
Anyone particularly Interested
in working with this committee
during the coming academic
year should contact Professor
Arthur W. McDonald.
number of textbooks for
courses, they must pay a price
lower than what they charge the
students.
But, David Berry, a student
employee in the store said that
all prices charged are direct
from the salesman.
A sophomore girl related a
scene she saw take place in
the book store.
"One of the ladies was look
ing,-through a great big box of
greeting cards. When I asked
her what she was doing, she
said that she had to censor the
cards because some of them
should not be put out in a col
lege store”.
Maybe Banks Garrison had
the most constructive idea for
the store. He suggested that a
student, who was receptive to
ideas, could aid in organizing
the store so that it would more
efficiently serve the student
body.
