The evening was devoted entirely to Debussy songs; and, as Mr. Golde explained in his in troductory remarks, no the better-known songs but those which clearly show the influence of the Impressionist painters and Sym bolist poets. The artists in these groups were not interested in pre senting their subject realistically, but wanted to express (in Mr. Golde's words) "their emotional response to the subject." In their revolt against realism, they worked with suggestion and mood to evoke rather to asert what they wanted to communicate. Unfortunately, it seemed the lack of mood snd suggestion that marred the performance of the artists. Although onecan be nothin.4 but grateful to the artists for undertaking such an ambitious pro ram. especially in view of the unpopularity of the music, too much harm was done to the composer to make the concert achieve its in tended aim. Miss Casey has a well-developed voice which was in control of the music throughout the concert. Especially in the lower range 01 the voice it is rich and vibrant. Mr. Golde's playing too is of a high technical finish. The artists performed well together, commendable in view of the very difficult distribution of voice line with piano ac companiment. But the performance of these songs seemed to go against the very spirit of Debussy. There was a definite lack of subtlety in Miss Casey's voice, while Mr. Golde's accompaniment seemed decidedly factual. Both were unable to evoke mood in their performance, and the absence of mood, in turn, produced a starkness in the songs which seemed at times almost naked, while at other times made the songs sound misleadingly empty of content. This fault could have been prevented by taking more care with the shape and dynamics of the phrasing. Also by paying more attention to the text, a closer feeling for what is, and should be, portrayed would have helped. Bui for this critic the basic fault seemed the evident lack of communi cation between performer and composer. Although the artists must have had great sympathy with Debussy's music in presenting this concert, this same sympathy was not expressed strong enough v. their performance. Miss Casey was indecisive in attitude toward what she was sing ing, alternating between, emotional involvement and objective pre sentation. By paying so much attention to her pronunciation of the words, the continuity of line, the heart of Debussy, failed to project. Mr. Golde's playing, though utterly correct, was too hcjavy and weighty to express the fragile indirect expression of the composer. Only in one song. "De Fleurs." a magnificent composition of rich variations in color and mood, was the spirit of Debussy suc cessfully conveyed. And for all its failings, the opportunity to hear some of Debussy's finest compositions made the concert a decidely worthwhile one. The Human Rano Vm ' 1 1 mf. 1 1. limn ininr . ....

Minatf JOILN MINT 11 Editor: There seem to be many s'udents lit-rc at Carolina who are all too unaware of the presence of the school literary magazine, the Car olina Quarterly. The basis for that statement is the lack of manu scripts which have appeared in the Quarterly office thus far in the year. Editor John Tice and his most competent staff have been much distressed by the few manuscripts which have been sub mitted. We feel that there are many fine 'writers on such a large campus, but judging from their shmvi.ig so far this year, one wouldn't know it. We do not wish to fill an entire issue of the Quarterly with ma terial from sources outside the campus. The magazine is, as the name implies, our magazine. Then why not fill it. or at least parti ally so, with material from our campus and our students? Though the Handbook says that the Quarterly is ' listed -by Writ ers' Digest as one of the top literary publications in the coun try," students should not feel that their chances for having their manuscripts published are slim. On the contrary, students have as much, if not more, chance as any one else. Again quoting from the Handbook. "The Quarterly is not only read around the University, but it goes to several hundred sub scribers all over the world as well." This statement in itself should incite students to make an effort to have some of their work printed. As editor Tice said, "Since our criterion for accepting a manuscript is its artistic excel lence, students at Carolina should find this an encouragement rather than an inhibiting factor." Added incentive is the always attractive cash prizes. The maga zine make two yearly awards: $100 for the best short story of the year, and $50 for the bet poem. Previously, smaller awards had been made on a per-issue basis. Some students apparently have had the misconception that the submitting of manuscripts is a momentous task. Not at all. In fact, such a task Is relatively sim ple. All that is involved is writing something and bringing it either to the information desk in Graham Memorial or to the Quarterly of fice. Now that doesn't seem too bad. does it? Criticism of manuscripts will be offered to the extent that the staff is able to give, depending upon the number of manuscripts we have. All submissions will be judged fairly and those who sub , mit them will be notified as soon as possible as to the decision of the editors. It is the hope of the Quarterly Anyone who entertains the slightest discomfort when thinking about growing old should take care ful stock of Mr. Maurice Chevalier in his perform ance in "Gigi." A robust, rosv-checked gentleman with an ago- staff that the students will write lcss clothes-wearing quality, Chevalier is the central more and, most of all, submit more manuscripts, so we won't have to change the name of the magazine to The State Quarterly "or The National Quarterly.

So he may have a blurred chinline and a slight paunch under His well-tailored coats. But the smile - THE UNIVERSITY AND "ULTIMATE CONCERN" We stand accused of being "the silent genera tion" or "the apathetic generation" or "the beat generation." All of these are partially overlapping epithets which have been in currency for so long now that they should longi ago have been thrown into the memory bag which contains "the Gilded Age" and "The Lost. Generation" among other antiques. If we do not do something soon to dissociate ourselves from these epithets, we are in consider able danger of being judged guilty as accused not only by our perhaps shortsighted elder contem poraries, but also by tomorow's history, the decision of which is post-mortem and final. In simplest terms, the charge against us is that we are lacking what Dr. Ullich terms "ultimate concern" the maximum possible concern for the basic problems of human existence: by Dr. Tillich's definition, we lack religious depth. This is not to say that, we are not concerned, but that we are concerned with superficialities. We are concerned more with grades than with learning; we are concerned with what Erich Fromm calls our "marketability" rather than with our ability to love each other as individuals; we are concerned with comfort rather than joy. Our days are filled for the most part with attempts to disguise their empti ness. The extent of the problem can be illustrated statistically: several thousand UNC students turn ed out for the football game on Saturday, as is their wont, demonstrating by their interest their concern for the game; a mere dozen students attended a discussion of the Campus Code and the Honor Code at the "Y" last Tuesday. To most of us, then, the outcome of .a professional amusement is of more concern than the code of honor by which we are supposed to live. If the problem is the lack of religious concern, it poses for us the immediate question: how can the University foster spirituality in its students? It will be useful in. any investigation, of thi question to view the University separately as an academic and a social institution. THE UNIVERSITY AS AN ACADEMY A noted educator, contemporary in the admin istration of this university with Dr. Frank Graham, characterizes the modern educational process as focusing point of the de lightful musical comedy about a little girl who had to grow, up in a hurry in order to keep a date with a sugar prince. . . It would be a dreadful waste of time to comment on his acting ability, be cause this has been cov ered quite adequately by magazines and newspap-? ers over the years. The point is that Mau no spring rooster. He has been kicking around in his happy world for many, many years.

Editor: After rending your Daily Tar Heel for the past month, I am at last unable to remain passive any longer and feel the need to write a a letter and throw out a few ques tions and comments to you and Young Anymore," the charming man refuses rice Chevalier is answering the bored nephew's inquiries as Che valier answers them. "What color were the trees in Paris this spring?" "Green!" Exclaims Chevalier with unmitigated glee. 4 "What color were the trees in Paris last spring?" "Green!" Chevalier blasts with new enthusiasm. "And what color will the trees in Paris be next spring?" The nephew yawns. "Green!" The uncle's grin stretches into some thing akin to ecstasy. And what color will the trees in Chapel Hill be this spring? Wonderfully Green? Or Green Again? bilized for strategic advantage; rarely is education thought of as the private business of the emergent individual, a process in which values are established,- a degree of self-knowledge is attained, and "ul timate concerns" are matured and pursued. In other words, we are conditioned by our whole environment to be concerned with immediate rather than ultimate issues, while the issues raised by our very existence go unresolved. We pay dearly in money (time) wasted on beer, in neuroses, in broken homes, in war, for our refusal to heed the hunger of the soul. Certainly the university must be concerned to uie siuaent ooay in general con- grow cerning campus newspaper policy. Just what is the purpose of a campus newspaper anyway? What sort of articles and news features should it contain? What limits, if any, should be imposed on the right of the editor and his colum nists in using the paper in order to champion their own personal causes or experiment in the kind of writing which brings discredit upon the nevv-spaper and the uni versity as a whole? This last ques tion is especially important here at U.N.C., since the Daily Tar Heel is not a privately owned or ganization but o"ne supported at least partly by student body funds. Any discredit our newspaper brings upon itself is passed on to all of us who financially sup port it and in a way, figuratively speaking, are its owners. I have followed each morning your harangues blasting such "evils'' as segregation and the Re publican Party as well as those penetrating reports depicting un chaste Carolina coeds why Billy Graham is a cull, and the pros and cons of female contraceptives until my stomach is slightly queasy from it all. Possibly I am too much of a conservative and out of step with the times. In truth, it could be that the major ity of U.N.C. students are satis fied with your paper and would not have it any other way. The whole question of the free dom of the campus press vs". its duties and responsibilities toward the students and the university is a thorny one and probably, ob jectively speaking, unanswerable. But one thing Is certain: all of us are being judged by the many outsiders who read the Daily Tar Heel, not just its staff.

"I have an English class here." "BINGHAM! Dr. Edens will kill me!" exclaims the second as he hurries oi,!, briefcase under arm and bags under eyes. The two remaining embark into a long and frenzied discussion. Finally, one, a man holding the University record for showing up eight consecutive days in the wrong classroom, realizes it is Tuesday,, not Monday. Having disposed of the prelimin aries (and half of class time), the lone lecturer awakes the class and begirs to talk just as the building janitor decides to trans fer seven trash barrels to the oth er end ol the third floor hall, creating such a racket as to jolt teacher and pupil. Recovering from this blow and completely forgetting the subject of the lesson, the professor starts in on worid' affairs: "All the armed forces se;m to be trying to get in on thi? space age business, I iee from my copy of "Mother Me- Corkle's Masterpiece of Dandy . . . er Handy Data."

You manage a feeble chuckle, which mechanically releases a which its students need to get on in the world: we are not, as others have remarked before, entirely creatures of the spirit. But we see more and more the almost total abandonment of the university to the dictates of immediate rather than ultimate con cern. Even Romance Languages, once the province of the artistic, the hyper-civilized, and the scholar ly, is now. the major stressed by the government as a strategic resource. Only philosophy by defini tion a discipline dealing with "ultimate concern" remains relatively pure; and it has been a long time since Philosophy was of as much concern to students, administrations, trustees or legislators as Business Administration or Applied Science. In short, it is required that each of us take a certain amount number of Strategic Subjects; and those of us with special aptitude are encouraged to major in Applied Mass Suicide-Murder: not one of us is required to take a course in Philosophy. o'clock ahead. loud belch, undoubtedly greetings from the interior. "Was there a question?" asks the professor, in demonstration of his alertness.
