"AGE TWO
Violinist Earns Rank
In Single Decade
Although Tossy Spivakovsky, who will open the Com
munity Concert series at 8:30 p.m. Monday in Schwab Audi
torium, has only appeared before the American public for
less than a decade, he has already established himself as one
of the most outstanding violinists of today.
Fink Asks
'Patience'
From Union
Members of Local 67, American
Federation of State, County, and
Municipal Employees Wednesday
night heard President George
Fink urge them to "be patient"
on the campus labor situation.
Only nine members of the un
ion attended the meeting. Fink
said he had not expected many
because the group had no busi
ness to transact pending the meet
ing of the grievance panel at the
University Dec. 16, 17, and 18.
Fink said he called the meet
ing "to let people know that
Local 67 still holds its charter
and is active."
Needs 8 Actives
The - union needs eight active
members to retain its charter.
Fink told the group that ques
tions they had been asking about
labor problems at the University
are in the hands of the panel.
The panel will consider grievances
of employees against the Univer
sity.
Fink also urged members to
",spread the word of Local 67
around campus."
Refers To Local 417
"You can't accomplish anything
merely by changing the name
and number of a local," he said.
He was referring to the 300 mem
bers of Local 67 who voted to
disaffilliate and join the Building
Service Employees • International.
The group has since been char
tered as Local 417 of that union.
"Ask these people what they
have accomplished under the new
union," he "and then ask
them what benefits they got un
der Local 67,"
Cites Examples
As an example of these benefits
Fink cited 98 grievance hearings,
26 people who were reinstated to
their jobs, and wage raises for
68 food service employees. These,
he said, were while he was presi
dent of the union two years ago.

Between tours Spivakovsky lives
in Wilton, Conn. For relaxation
he plays an occasional game of
croquet, likes to swim in season,
and enjoys strolling the Connecti
cut hills.
Spivakovsky prefers planes to
trains for transportation between

engagements mainly because he
sleeps poorly on trains. Although
he has appeared in 48 states, and
in Canada, Venezuela, Columbia,
and Ecuador, as well as in Ha
waii., the violinist has never can
celled a concert. On one occasion
he was ,snowbound some 30 miles
from Toronto, and was forced to
delay a performance for 24 hours.
His first major appearance in
the United States was with the
Ne w York Philharmonic-Sym
phony in a performance of Bela
Bartok's "Violin Concerto" under
the baton of Artur Rodzinski.
Although he has appeared on
television, Spivakovsky does not
feel that America's newest mass
entertainment medium has yet
solved the problem of televising
serious music.

AIM to Send
2 to NSA
Convention
Two members of the Board of
Governors of the Association of
Independent Men will attend the
regional convention of the Na
tional Student Association.
The board Wednesday night
voted to Send Leonard Richards
and -Richard Rigling to the con
vention in Philadelphia Dec. 9
and, 10.
Although most of the board in
dicated it was in favor of sending
the men, Thomas Kidd, parlia
mentarian, voiced strong disap
proval. He said he felt that All-
Universtiy Cabinet was not will
ing to accept the knowledge stu
dents gained from NSA conven
tions. He went on to say that at
present "prestige" is the only val
ue the University receives from
NSA.
Weidner, Town Council presi
dent, questioned Kidd's right to
voice his opinions from the floor.
Kidd is parliamentarian and not
a board member. However, Kidd
had arrived at the meeting late
and Rigling had been named act
ing parliamentarian for the eve
ning.
The chair ruled that since Kidd
was not acting as parliamentarian
he had the right, as does any oth
er independent, to speak.
The names of Richards and Rig
ling will be submitted to All-
University Cabinet. Cabinet must
approve all delegates if ' they are
to be official University delegates
and have voting rights at the con
vention.

Juras said his committee found
that the 39 upperclassmen in that
area who drive cars were forced
to park near the east end of cam
pus. The lots behind Sigma Chi
Fraternity and near Recreation
Hall were reserved for commuter
and staff use, he said.
Juras said he believed the up
perclassmen had earned the park
ing privilege because of the "sta
balizing influence" they provide
for West-Dorm freshmen.
Since freshmen use their cars
mostly for weekend dating, Juras
said, the commitee believed these
men should be allowed to have
their cars parked in that area
Saturday mornings. At present

home. Ceiga will present the first of a series of faculty concerts at
4 p.m. Sunday in Schwab Auditorium. Ceiga, who plays for the
University Chapel services each week. has been at the University
since 1947.
Presents Recital Sunday
Ceiga Once Played
Music for Flickers
How would you like to go to the movies every night while
you're in college? Well, it doesn't leave much time for study
ing, says George Ceiga, Chapel organist, but it surely is ex
citing.
Ceiga used_ to play background music for silent pictures
during 'the first World War to help pay his expenses at the
American Conservatory of Music
in Chicago.
Ceiga will be back at the key
board, but. in a somewhat dif
ferent role, when he presents an
organ recital at 4 p.m. Sunday in
Schwab Auditorium.
When an organist plays for a
newsreel, Ceiga said, he really
has to be fast. One time, he re
lated, when a friend of his was
playing for the first time and he
saw a regiment of soldiers on the
screen, he struck up "The Stars
and Stripes Forever." As the sol
diers came nearer the audience
he noticed that they were Ger
man.
Playing for silent movies was
exciting, Ceiga repeated, even if
it was embarrassing sometimes.
After Ceiga graduated from the
Conservatory he taught there for
several years. He was organ mas
ter and choir director at St. Mar
garets in Chicago and he did boy
choir work at the Episcopal
Church.
Before he came to the Univer
sity in 1947 he had written sev
eral organ numbers, a study book
for the Hammond organ, music
for junior choirs, and several
weekend parking privileges be
gin at noon Saturday.
He said it did• not- seem fair
that when the men left their dates
Friday night they should have to
park their cars at the opposite
end of campus, walk back to the
dormitory, and then, Saturday af
ternoon, walk back to the other
end of campus again to get their
cars.
Joan Packard, Leonides presi
dent, explained the functions of
the joint AIM-Leonideth flash card
and welfare. committees.
James McDowell was named
chairman of a committee to inves
tigate the possibility of a centen
nial Homecoming dance.

other musical compositions.
Ceiga, who is of Swiss origin,
said when his great grandfather
came to the United States from
Switzerland the family name was
spelled "Zeiga."
Great grandfather Zeiga found
that he had to wait in line so
long to be paid at the end of the
week that there seldom was much
had been paid, for they were given
money left after all the employees
their wages according to alpha
betical order. So he changed the
first letter of the name to put him
self at the beginning of the line
instead of at the end.
Ceiga's recital Sunday will be
the first of a series of programs
to be presented by faculty mem
bers of the department of music
and music education.
The program includes the first
movement of "A Minor Concerto"
by Vivaldi-Bach, "Sheep May
Safely Graze," by Bach, and D
Minor Toccatta and Fugue, by
Bach.
Following the Bach numbers,
he will play "Song of Peace" by
Langlais, a contemporary, blind
organist and composer.
