LETTERS TO THE
EDI TAR
Gentlemen:
Since Student opinions are encour
aged by the editorials of the CUB, I
offer this in response to the comments
on the Harold Betters Concert of last
year. The October 13th (1967) issue of
the CUB stated that the "unanimous opin
ion of the few who were brave enough to
face 'getting' the plaguw'[sic] was
that Betters was fantastic." My opinion
hopes to disprove that consensus. It
also attempts to cast some light on the
attendance of - students and the fore
knowledge of Mr. Betters' ailment.
As a stude.a.i, of English I, I was
Iwired to - mmke a daily entry into a
journal. It is from this journal that

Behrend presented the Harold •
Betters' Quartetin a concert today.
I certainly hope that no one asks
me if I enjoyed that farce.
Mr. Betters' concert was well
received by most of the audience.
Which, ipso facto,is good in that
it could increase the audience•'s
desire to hear more contemporary
jazz. But to the musically know
ledgeable the presentation could
have been duplicated by any junior
high school combo.
To begin with, the concert
(sic) was totally unprepared and
unorganized. What little the group
