The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, March 1, 19897 yodersradlyaue MydeotfLoyriaccepttDinis appoDcatBoinis O :0 By BRENDA CAMPBELL Staff Writer Students interested in working on the Undergraduate Student Court and attorney general's staff can turn in applications beginning Friday for the 1989-90 year. "The basic premise of the honor court and the attorney general staff is to uphold the honor system, which are the roots of the University system," said John Gilbert, former honor court vice chairman. An honor court member has two main responsibilities: to hear viola tions of the Honor Code and deter mine a verdict and to educate the student body on the Honor Code, Gilbert said. The honor court hears charges World-famous strin bring to By RANDY BASINGER Staff Writer "If the Tokyo String Quartet isn't the world's greatest chamber music ensemble, it's hard to imagine which group is." The Washington Times, . "'Simply put, quartet-playing doesn't get much better than this." The (Louisville) Courier-Journal. . The Tokyo String Quartet, inter nationally acclaimed and now in its 18th season, will perform Friday, March 5, at 8 p.m. in Memorial Hall as the last performance in the Caro lina Union Performing Arts Senes. . The ensemble performs regularly in New York's major halls, including Carnegie Hall in which it plays its "Xjreat Quartets" series. It also appears regularly at Yale University, where the members are artists-in-residence. In addition to its American performances, the quartet will make three European tours this year, performing in London, Paris, Munich, Vienna. Stockholm and Oslo. Awards received by the group include Best Chamber Music Record ing of the Year from both Stereo Review and Gramophone. The quartet has also received three Grammy nominations. WETA-FM of Washington, D.C., says of their recordings, "There simply isn't any more beautiful music in the world." Also included in their list of accomplishments are a feature on the CBS program "Sunday Morning" and a taped concert from the Cor coran Gallery of Art in -Washington, which aired on public- television across the country. The quartet members are: violinist Peter Oundjian, a native of Toronto who began his classical studies at the Congress from page 1 also makes it difficult to determine off-campus distribution, he said. But Riemann said unequal distri bution probably wouldn't affect the workings of.the congress. "Function ally it doesn't make a whole lot of difference on most issues," he said. "It's not a huge problem." But congress member Gene Davis (Dist. 18) said the issue should be looked into. "If it's unconstitutional then it's unconstitutional, and some thing must be done about it," he said. Riemann said there weren't any issues where congress members split votes on residential or graduate and undergraduate lines. "There's not a lot of block voting," he said. "Con gress works pretty much by consensus." Riemann said the unequal distri bution would be a problem if interests of a certain group weren't heard or if there were "violent conflicts" between the different groups repre sented. But it will not be a problem as long as every student has the means to get his views heard, he said. Davis said the unequal distribution was important, especially to the allocation of student fees. Off campus students may have different needs and opinions about how their fees should be spent than on-campus students do, he said, i "You have to look at what Student Congress does," he said. "The main purpose is allocation money for student groups. It's important that it's done by proportion." i There would be advantages and disadvantages to redistricting con gress, Riemann said. "There might be a danger in having 12 off-campus seats when we can't fill eight," he said. 1 But decreasing the number of graduate representatives might make things easier for congress because graduate seats are often difficult to fill, Riemann said. - Davis said it wouldn't be fair to assume that off-campus students wouldn't fill the seats allotted to them. "If they want to have any sav as to how their money is distributed then they should let us know. Davis said congress should petition the Elections Board to redistrict congress based on the present uncon stitutional districting. Riemann said congress should address the issue for its next sche duled redistricting but added that the unequal districting wasn't a pressing brought against students and decides from the evidence presented whether the defendant is guilty or not, he said. Officers look for specific charac teristics when reading applications and interviewing candidates, said Ruth Dowling, newly appointed honor court chairwoman. "We look for someone who is interested in judicial work, who is open-minded, who has clear convic tions and who can express themselves well," Dowling said. "It is also a good idea for the applicant to have knowl edge about the honor system. "If they need to, they can pick up a Honor Code; instrument, which explains the system, when they come to get an application." Applicants should be prepared to be committed to their responsibilities, act to Memorial Ha age of 7; Kikuei Ikeda, violinist and award-winning soloist, who was born in Tokyo and studied violin at the Toho Academy of Music; Kazuhide Isomura, violinist, who is a graduate of Toho Academy and a founder of the Tokyo String Quartet; and Sadao Harada, cellist, who began his studies under his father when he was 1 1 and is also a founding member, of the group. The quartet, formed in 1969 at the Juilliard School of Music, actually began some years earlier. Several of the founding members were students together at the Toho School of Music in Tokyo. There they were pro- foundly influenced by professor Hideo Saito, who instilled in them a deep commitment to chamber music.
