By late summer, however, the exhibition fully opened. Riots and screaming in the streets also occured at the Venice Film Festivals On the day of the opening, a plastic bomb blew down the door of the theater and there was no audience that night. This, too, finally got on its feet. The student revolts in Italy were suc cessful. When the students demands were granted, everyone quieted down and there was no more trouble. iCSA sot;icry mvs MRS.

APOLOCy The N.C. £ss■iv apologi?es to David for the omission of a by-line for his .. - cle, "Tiny Tim Welcomes You" in last ■ s issue of the Essay The N.C. Essay FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS As we begin a new school year, it is necessary that we take stock of ourselves in our relationships with others. The crowded dorms make this almost compulsory. Individuality is definitely important, for the world would be a dull place if every one acted alike. Each person who forced conformity upon himself would suffer greatly from lack of self-expression. However, to keep peace in a community such as our school where people are living so closely to each other, we must take into consideration the needs and desires of those around us. Common sourtesies such as keeping voi ces down and record players tuned low, so as to allow others to study and sleep, will be greatly appreciated by many students. As a general rule, remember: It isn’t necessary for one to cave what others THINK, but it is important for one to care what ot hers FEEL. NEW LIBRARY BUILDING (con*t from P. 1) ing would give us much-needed "Instant Class rooms." Requests were also made for a campus planning grant, a new n^-fntenanro qhon, enclosure of the stairs, in the main build ing (for fire safty purposes), and funds to remodel the present kitchen and cafeteria once the new Student Center is completed. The Advisory Budget Commission took no action at its meeting here. There will be further hearings on the capital budgets, and when the General Assembly convenes in Jan uary, the Commission vTill make its recommen dations to the Assembly, the Appropriations Act is virtually the last action of the General Assembly, so it will probably be June 1969 before we know what funds. If any, have been appropriated for these capital improvements. In the next issue of the N. C. Essay there will be a feature article on the new Commons Building. Consturction hopefully will begin in the next 90 days. Dancers to perform IN CHARLOTTE SUNDAY The dancers of NCSA will load up Sunday, September 22, for a trip to Charlotte, N. C. They will perform on an outdoor stadium, "Screenplay", "Eine Kleine Nacht-Musik", and "Poerae"^ Other dates set with the same pro gram include a performance at Guilford Col lege, October 1, and at Belmont Abby College October 8. BUNK That's what people are going to say when they see the ballot for the NCSA Presi- dential election. So far the candidates are Nixon, Humphrey and (guess who?) Pigasus the Pig. That’s all. Come on, people! There's got to be some support on this campus for other candi dates, so get those petitions out and get 38 signatures. Bring them by room 315, Men's Dorm by noon next Wednesday. And if you*ve tried your best and still can't get 38 names, bring the petition b y anyway, and we’ll se^ what we can do. All right now. Everybody get out there and sign! ATTENTION ' Students are reminded that Monday, Sep* tember 30, is the last possible day to drop a class. Any courbus dropped after this date will be r-. ^ ■ t,.t;d on the permanent rf* cords. PaSi A NBA/APPROACH TO THE REALITIES Cf fVUSK by Harvey Jacobson The use of music as a carthartic agent has long been known vy the ancient Greeks who tied the art of music to the science of medicine in their worship of the Olympian god, Apollo. Thus they attributed both hea ling properties and some kind of magical po wer to the realm of music. Music was also thought to have some kind of relationship to the movements of the planets: "As to the philosophers, they were at first also the scientists of whatever field they were interested in, and so also of mU" sic. The school of Pvthagoras in Greece, a- bout 500 B, C. established the basic mathe matical facts about the relation of the tones. "They thought that the planets circled around the earth in harmonic intervals, even that the planets made a peculiar celestial music. Some advanced Pythagorean Initiates actually heard this harmony of the spheres, the famour Grecian Wine Aiding". This idea of attributing magical pro- pcrt-ies to music still exist in the thinking of present-day man in the form of mysticism which many believe is an intrinsic quality inherent in the very nature of music, it self. Music, if it Js to be effective, if it is to be functional as a psychiatric agent in the rehabilitation of the physically, mentally, and emotionally disabled indivi= dual, must be taken out of that frame of re ference which attributes to it some kind of romantic, mystical properties, inherent in it forever and anon. We need a new frame of reference based on the realities of music; in this way, we can better use music as a means of control ling and changing behav''"'r patterns and at titudes that tend to be self-destructive. We must consider that music Is both an art and a science and that every art has an underlying science. For one to understand the true or complete nature of music, a con- scientiour study concerned with rhp scienti fic explanations of how tones are produced and why they affect the individual the way they do, is of extreme necessity. One who professes to be trained in the area of functional music, should have a working knowledge of both the physical and psychological limitations of the art based upon: 1) a study of acustics (the physical properties of sound) 2) a study of the psychology of music and its influence on human behavoir, 3) a study of the physiological system of the human body. 4) a study in the variour areas of psy chology; dealing with the child, abnor mal behavoir, and exceptionality In the child and adult, 5) a study of the social sciences should ^Iso be included. With such an armamentarium as this, the therapist is well equipped to carry out his function as rehabilitation therapist using music to influence behavoir patterns and to help cause a change in those emotional con= ddtions which our society describes as "pa^ thological".
