Title of his speech was "Crit icism: What it is and What it is Not.” He was introduced by Wal lace Baldinger, professor of art | at the University. Frankenstein said there are two things that criticism definite ly is not. First, it is not a sci ence, because the same critical standards cannot be applied to all art. Secondly, he said, it is not a mystery a field that is nr ought to be open only to prac titioners. OX THU contrary, he believes, the capacity that makes a man important in creating art is like !v to impose upon him a certain narrowness as a critic of the work of other people. A good critic, however, he add el, is not one who knows noth ing about the field he criticizes, but the training of the artist and of the critic are two different things. He sees certain inadequacies in criticism. In music for instance, he fe ds that the repertoire is far too small. “THERE VUE about 50 pieces that everyone plays over and over again, which leaves only one variable to be criticized — the performance. We tend to put too much value on it. It is for me totally' insane and monstrously exaggerated.” For the visual arts he cited another problem. “There is an obsession among artists to exhibit the largest amount of work in the smallest amount of space.” This creates a gross unfair ness to the artist, he said, "when (Continued on /’uye 3) s>stem and the Student Affairs Office; and until such time *hat proof has been submitted by Sig ma Nu that definite progress has been made towards elimination of this f'roblem of hazing.” A REPORT must also be sub mitted to the Tribunal to the ef fect that Sigma Xu's "philoso phy of initiation complies with the spirit of the hazing meas ure adopted by the University fraternity system through the Presidents’ Council and with the objectives of their national fra ternity.” Commenting on the decision, Sorenson stated. "I think this is the most constructive decision the Tribunal has made since I've been here.” DON CLARK, president of Sig ma Nn. said that "there will be a great deal of effort to comply with these hazing regulations in the future, as there was this year.” “In our case 61 years of tradi tion behind fraternity rituals such as this is a pretty to 'gh thing to crack within one year’s time.” he commented. “A great Heal of progress was made not only in our behalf but in all houses.” CLARK SAID that hazing "has had its value in the past,” but suggested that "there are other ways besides hazing to arcom plish the goals which should be accomplished.” A substitute is in order, he said, "if it is allowed to grow from within the fraternity.” He said he believed that hazing would have grown out of the fraterni ties without outside pressure. "OCR FRATERNITY and many others should make an ef fort to explore possibilities,” Clark commented, “It is the job of presidents to discuss substitu tions for hazing.” Clark also commented on the publicity given the Sigma Nu infraction saying, "I think the Emerald has blown the situation concerning us completely out. of scope in its seriousness.” 'Fete' Committee Extends Deadline Deadline for Canoe Fete pro motion committee has been ex tended to today.
