...memorial concert of Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem with the Glee Club, Radcliffe Choral Society. University Chorus, and Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, all groups that G. Wallace Woodworth had conducted, was splendid. The only student concert which compares with it was the University Chorus's performance last Easter of Bach's St. John Passion. The orchestra played with unprecedented unanimity, tone, and intonation; the choruses especially Mr. Ferris's Memorial Church choir, sang? with ?ear diction, precise ensemble and balance, and spiritual sympathy.

The part has a lot of laughs, but Rubins never milks them. He is splendid, and so is Sheila Hickey as his intended...
...leadership which an increasingly activist and even "liberal"-if one can use that word-M. B. A. student faction is demanding. Apparently unwilling to concede that more and more M. B. A. students (especially black and chicano students) are determined to put an end to the Business School's splendid and serene isolation from the larger University community and from larger societal issues in general, the conservative faction of the Student Association is engaged in a gallant- but, in the last analysis-futile effort to maintain the apathy and conservatism which have been the hallmarks...
