Both Zonn's “Sonorum I" and Albriglit's “Tic” were pcriormed two years ago before Grinnell audiences. “Tic" is an intercsting piece that resembles a three ring circus with two jazz and pop ensembles playing simultaneously and a light show projected on the back wall of the stage.

James Fudge, baritone, and James Wyly, harpsichordist, will be the guest performers featured in a presentation of Bach arias.

Senate Weighs Abortion Laws The loira legislature niuy pos» sibly repeal the pr'csent law pro limiting abortions if the bill can be passed out of the conservative Senate Social Services Coins nnitcc, The act, sponsored by Charlene Coitklm of Waterloo, would allow women to receive abortions for any reason One minor provision of the bill insures that doclors or hospitals would not be forced to perform the operation without their consent. Another provides stiffer penalties for persons performing abortions without a doctor's license. The success of the bill‘s passage depends to a great extent on the public support it receives. Congressmen are reluctant to much a controversial issue in an election year, unless they feel thatasufficlentnumberolvoters is supporting their position.

Iowa Luienisf Plays to Capacity Crowd in Herrick Considering the type oi concert attendance that Grinnell College frequently bestows upon its visiting artists, David Harris might have been mistaken tor the Pied Piper of Grinnell Hamlet when he presented his lute and classical guitar concert last Friday evening. Lured by the promise of an unusual and his teresting evening, Grinnellians ventured fourth from their ivys covered closets and flocked to Herrick Chapel. But similarities to the tale of the “Pied Piper of Hamelin” end there, as the enthusiastic throng was not robbed of its expectations. In fact, David Harris did a very fine job, presenting a concert con- sisting primarily of unfamiliar Renaissance lute music to an audience that knew little about the lute or the literature com- posed for it, and he 1made them enjoy it. The audience obviously appreciated not only his music but also his casual remarks about tuning, the squeaky chair, his instrument. and restless children. He prefaced most of selections with program notes. and the only problem with this was that his voice was barely audible beyond the tenth row of pews. Harris is probably ac- customed to smaller audiences, as the lute is an intimate in- strument and is not easily heard in halls the size of Herrick. Harris’ performance was not flawless; his runs were not Lamps USED Chairs Wilcox-Garland Furniture lroad St. by Kathryn Iluinzc always even and he visibly flubbcd In a few places. But considering the difficulty of the instrument (several avid lute fans have told me that even Julian Bream has been known to inuit a passage), one could say that he maintained a high level of performance throughout the concert. I should mention that besides being a performer, Harris also has a scholastic in- terest in the lute. He researches the music that he plays, and, in fact, several ot the works per- formed last Friday had been discovered by Harris himself. of the three schools of lute music that he presented, the English school seemed to have the most audience appeal. Its rhydims were more interesting than those of either the Italian or Spanish schools, and the contrapuntal play between high and low voices easily captured one’s attention. I also thought that the “Fan tasia” by John Duwland was the best-executed work of his lute performance. Even though parts or it were played to the ac companiment of the 3:35 Rock Island train whistle, he exhibited more control over his instrument, and his runs came through clearly and evenly, Harris began the second part of the concert with three Bach preludes, two of which were written for lute. The first of these he played on the lute, but for the second the guitar was used. This TURNER— coiit. trom page 6 vestigating the case before the county attorney even considered it. I queried. Ah, you have been misled, he proclaimed, ,for I was investigating not only the nudesin but the immoral habits of Grinnell students in general tparticularly the reading of that awful Pterodactyl). Then I undertook discussion of the confiscation of Pterodactyl, Turner stated, as he has many times, that he didn’t seize the paper, but was requested by the Wilton Junction printer to take the materials. Mr, Turner further stated that he originally resisted the request of the printer, but added that the printer had promised the representatives of If You Think That Ahrvano’s Make Pizza, YOU’RE RIGHT!

His command of the guitar was quite impressive, and his ren- dition of “Hommage au Tombeau dc Debussy" was very well done. The three Villa Lobos pieces were probably the most familiar works on the program. and they too were performed with skill, Of these the ”Prelude No. 4” presented the most difficulties, as it contained a passage of, chime-like harmonics which can try the patience of the best classical guitarist. We will probably hear more of David Harris. He is releasing an RCA recording within the next year and is currently working on amethod book forlute.l There is a strong possibility that he will ' be invited back to Grinnell not only because he gives a good performance but because he is willing to spend time lecturing about music and talking with students. nis appearance at Grinnell provided us with a good introduction to an instrument that most of us know little about, and I for one feel that we profited much from having shared a few days with him. the Attorney General's office that a pot of coffee would be at hand for them While they Waited for the copy to arrive, Apparently, then, the significant variable was the coffee. The question becomes: had the printer not offered a sampling from the widely-renowned pot, would Turner’s boys have raided? Obviously, the answer is that Mr. Turner would have confiscated the materials in any case. Far be it from this phlegmatic pur- suer of crime to cease and desist for want of a little caffeine. Having perceived the disdainfui ire imprinted on the face of this distinguished administrator, I refrained from pursuing the discussion, for fear that Mr. Turner might pursue me. By this time, Richard C. Turner had succeeded in Die tending everyone in the room with both his diplomacy and logic. Barely cognizant of the fact, Mr. Turner relented mer- cifully and said“! hope you (the students in the room) don’t always hate me.” This burst of decency, along with his com- mittant declaration that he had been the first state official to support legalized consumption of beer for 18 year olds, and his admission that he drank beer when he was in college (most likely for him some sort of ab- struse puberty rite enacted to the music of the Alley Cat hubcap band), induced little solace and many guffaws among our group, One fellow was heard to say as we left the Attorney General’s office, “No, Mr. Turncr, we won't always hate you; give us a can of beer and we'll follow you anyu‘hcrc."
