VOLUME 5, NUMBER 2 A UGUST 3, 1976 CHICAGO SYMPHONY WILL PLAY IN CITY

A performance by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is scheduled for September 23, 1976 at 8 p.m. at the Springfield Hi917 School auditorium. The appearance is presented by Sangamon State University and sponsored in part by the Illinois Arts Council.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, third oldest in the United States, has been recognized as one of the great orchestras of the world throughout its 85-year history. The Orchestra's international reputation was enhanced immensely in the fall of 1971, and again in 1974, when it was acclaimed by critics and audiences alike on its first two European concert tours.

Founded in 1891 by music pioneer Theodore Thomas the Chicago Symphony reached its maturity under such conductors as Frederick Stock and Fritz Reiner. Its long list of "firsts" includes: the firs.t orchestra to record commercially, the first to organize a school for training young symphonic rnuslclans, and the first with a permanently affili- ated cl~orus.

Recognized for its performing virtuosity, the Chicago Symphony has earned kudos around the world for performances of traditional and cantem- porary compositions.

Greetings to new and returning students as Sangamon State University opens for its seventh year of instruction. SSU draws its students from Central Illinois and 80 Illinois counties ranging from the Chicago metropolitan area to Cairo. Forty or more of the State's public community colleges are represented in our student body, as well as transfer and graduate students from over 200 other public and private colleges and universities. We have a diverse and interesting student body, older and more mature than students in most colleges and universities. Sangamon Slate has gained an enviable reputation for good teaching, for innovative and flexible programming, and for a staff and faculty which is genuinely interested in students. I wish you luck in your studies this coming year, and if this offlce can help with those endeavors please let us know.

Sincerely yours, R&cyC7 Robert C. Spencer President

"I can list some 20 new programs or program expansions which deserve serious consideration for approval, or funding, or both," Keiser said. "It is true that SSU has been generously funded in the past," Keiser said. "But it is also true that for all of higher education in Illinois the share of the General Revenue Fund has declined from 22.4 percent in Fiscai Year 1968 to 15.3 percent in Fiscal Year 1976." He criticized what he cailed "r-~evvonslaughts" aimed at higher education which seek to minimize the importance of college education. "What is needed is a clear explanation of the true merits of 108 doubles teams participated in last weekend's SSU-Y-Channel 20 tennis tournament.

BHE REAPPOINTS FLIPPER HEADS FURMAN UNITED WAY DRIVE The Illinois Board of Higher Education offered a three-year contract to James Furman, the board's executive director, at its September meeting in Jacksonville. The action marked the first time the board has tendered a formal written contract to an executive director. The offer was made to Furman unani- mousl y. Furman is in his second year as the BHE's executive director. He came to Illinois from Wash- ington state where he held a similar position. Prior to that he was employed in higher education in Ohio. Furman holds a B.A. degree from Ohio State University. In other actions, the board approved regulations which will require BHE approval for off-campus university offerings. The action was taken as an attempt to eliminate duplication of services. The board also received a report listing requests from Illinois public colleges and universities for new programs and administrative units for which funding is requested next year. SSU contract compliance officer Carl Flipper, Among the new program requests are B.A. and who has worked for a number of years with M.A. programs in legal studies and an M.A. community agencies supported by the United Way, program in gerontology for Sangamon State.

Magidsohn Memorial Fund on Thursday, October 21, at 8 p.m. in the Capital Campus Ballroom. Tickets for the performance are $7.50 per person. They are available from Lillian Smith at 525-9580 and Bruce Holroyd, 786-6568. The Bruce A. Magidsohn Memorial Fund, administered by the SSU Faculty Union, memorial- izes the late professor of art. "The Hostage" is set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, 1958, but it could as easily be 1976 as nothing has changed. The senseless killing by Protestants and Catholics continues today as it did then. Guy Romans and his actors and crew have changed their theatre into a pub where the audience become patrons joining in with the singing, dancing and drinking. It will be a unique experience for followers of SSU theatre. Paul Sullivan serves as assistant director of the play.

Entitled "Colors on Paper," the exhibit of prints will be open through April 10 in the fourth level Art Gallery of Brookens. The show was organized by students of David Robinson, associate professor of creative arts, with the cooperation of the Van Straaten Gallery in Chicago. "The images are for the most part large, multi- colored, bright, innovative and abstract," says Robinson. "Because many of the artists included were originally known for their paintings and sculpture and have only recently begun to make prints, they have brought to the medium a grand- ness not often associated with contemporary print- making." European artists Karl Appel and John Hoyland and American artists Josef Albers, Louise Nevelson, Clayton Pond, Theodore Stamos and Ed Moses are some of those represented in "Colors on Paper," in addition to midwestern printers like Linda Plotkin of Wisconsin, Dan Socha of Cham- paign, and Barbara Spitz of ChicaGo. All of the artists in this exhibition have shown their work extensively throughout the United States and Europe. Also open until April 10, the photographic exhibit displays the work of Sangamon State students in the class of Dan Spillane, assistant professor of creative arts. Sixty images, in color and black and white, are hung on the lower level in the Auditorium Gallery. This show will move to Springfield's Sixth Street Gallery, 217% S. 6th, during the month of May. Both exhibits in Brookens are free and open to the public.
