Baur, a 28-year-old composer on the faculty of Tulane university received a National Endowment grant to compose "Canti II: Prims". The text is based upon six love sonnets by American poet e.e. Cummings whose poetry is rich in con­ trast, paradox and unresolved conflict. The music is a study of the various facets of love as depicted by Cummings. Baur's musical style .reflects and expands the ebb and flow of poetic tension. Composed early in 1975, the performances of "Canti II: Prims" this weekend will be the first since it was premiered last April in Cin­ cinnati by Dr. Thomas. John Baur recently received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Cin­ cinnati : College-Conservatory of Music. His compositions have been performed by chamber ensembles in major cities and universities in the United States. Dr. Thomas will be bringing two soloists with him for Saturday and Sunday's con­ certs, Barry Cavin and Thomas Sherwood. Barry Cavin, who will be singing the tenor solo in "Canti II: Prisms", is a doc­ toral candidate at the College- Conservatory of Music and is, presently, Minister of Music at Erlanger Baptist church, Erlanger, Ky. Thomas Sherwood, who will sing the bass solos in the "Gloria" and in "Canti II: Prisms", is a doctoral can­ didate in choral conducting at the College Conservatory of Music and has soloed with the Cincinnati Symphony. Tickets will be available at the door before each per­ formance. X X v ? .> - > Dr. Wesley Vos, left.

Almost all of these systems call for the recovery of steel cans, since steel's magnetic properties make it the easiest material to remove on a large scale for recycling. Also, the removal of the metal increases the efficiency of the remaining refuse as fuel and reduces the amount of material that must be landfilled.

The station is equipped with a viewing screen, a tape player and a typewriter, making it possible for students to work independent of Others in the class. Student Needs Met Through New Teaching Method The atmosphere in the AVT center (Audio-Visual-Tutorial) at McHenry County college is one of excitement and en­ thusiasm. Excitement, because the new AVT method of teaching secretarial courses has brought a 38 percent in­ crease in enrollment in this department indicating a need is being met, and enthusiasm for avenues yet to be implemented. The basic principle of the new method is providing for the individual needs of each student. Individual differences are taken into account-no two students are alike in background, abilities, skills or even learning style. Although all students are expected to achieve the designated level of per­ formance in a given course, some-require more time, more effort", and more help. The new system is an individually based instruction in which each student proceeds independently of the others in the class. Because of this independence, the registration functions on a completely free basis with open entrance and open exit. Students may register and begin classes at any time throughout the school year and complete the course at a time suitable for them. This will fill the special needs of a high school student, the working person, or parents having to schedule their time around other family members. There are no scheduled classes and students are free to come and go as they please. Upon entering the center, the student receives his-her assignment, checks out the cassette and film for that assignment and goes to a student station which is equipped with a viewing screen, a tape player and a typewriter. The student then completes the assignment at his-her own pace, getting special tutorial help from the instructor. Courses now being offered are: Typing I, 11, III; Shor­ thand I, II. Ill; Machine Transcription, and Office Machines -- The AVT center is open to students from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, with evening hours from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., Monday through Thur­ sday - a total of forty-two hours a week.
