Poulenc, a modern French com
poser, was born in Paris in 1299,
He is, according to Foltz, one of
the six young composers who band
ed together to study in Paris. They
were a group of "young non-con-
f orajj , Foltz said, who took an
attitude such as a small group on
campus might take.
They said to themselves: ""We're
gonna show "em." "Oddly enought,
tbey did", Foltz commented.
Among the six Parisian "non
conformists" were Arthur Honeg
ger, author of "King David," which
was presented by the combined
University choruses and orchestra
last spring with Basil Rathbone as
narrator, and Darius MUhaud, now
a professor of music at Mills Col
lege hi Berkeley, Calif.
Advanced Gaari
The six young composers who
studied together in Paris, calling
themselves the "Advanced Guard"
Foltz said, "have very definitely
made their mark on the musical
world."
Poulenc, be said, "has combined
the better qualities of instrumental
writing with the choral style. The
scare is formidable and complex
from the viewpoint of the performer
but is extremely easy to listen to
from the viewpoint of the audience.
The Madrigals, Foltz said, have
undertaken a highly difficult task
in performing the "Mass in G."
Six other college choral groups
have attempted to sing it, be said.
A professional group, the Victor.,
Choral, toured the country with it
last year.

The Outside World'
Reels Reject Terms?
By DICK
Staff Writer
An editorial in Pravda is being interpreted in Washington as
leading to Russian rejection of their proposed terms of a conferencs
among Big Four Chieftains.
The proposed terms are that such a conference should be short and
confined to a definition of the problems and the methods to be used
in solving them. Pravda, the official Communist newspaper, asserted
the United States was being "unreasonable" about the length of the
meeting.
It also said that the conference should attempt to solve urgent
international problems instead of defining fee problems and leivinjr
thfcm for foreign ministers to tackle. The initial reaction to the
Pravda editorial is that the Russians are not trying to get cut of &e
conference, but are probably trying to twist it more to their own
purposes.
