McGEARY said the committee
submitted a preliminary report
which" contained “just a guess as
to the cost and financing of the
station.”
During the meeting, the Presi
dent decided that the size of the
station, which must be included in
the application to the Federal
Communications Commission re
questing a station license, would
be “at the average state univer
sity level,” McGearysaid. ’
He explained that would mean
a minimum sized station rather
than a" very' large or very small
one.

are estimated at $250,000 per year,
80 per cent of which would be
paid by the University and the re

whether or not to approve the

McGeary said a bill authorizing
funds for ETV was almost p'assed
by Congress last year and will
probably be introduced again. A
similar bill is expected in® this
session-of the state legislature, he
added..
If the necessary funds are made

Singer Oscar Brand
To Perform Sunday
By CLAUDIA LEVY
Oscar Brand, artist and prophet
of the contemporary American
folk singing scene, will make his
first appearance at the University
Sunday in Schwab in a concert
sponsored by the Folklore Society.
Brand, whose approach to folk
music encompasses the authentic
and is colored with humor, is the
author of a book published recent
ly, “The Folk Mongers,” in which
he attempts to define folk songs
and their place in American
culture.
The sound is essentially a single
one, he says. A true folk song is
distinguished by this sound and
by the fact of its unselfconscious
ness. The song is mellowed
through a process of oral trans
mission and is a product of evolu
tion, he says.
“DOWN THROUGH history,"
Brand writes, “the folk song .has
gone hand and 'hand with nation
alism. Folk music has been an im
portant element in all fanatical
nationalistic movements.”
On the other hand, young peo
ple today find release in the folk
song in that the music may be
called antieslablislnncnt, he says.
“Our young people miss the
giant-size heroes of the past. They

complain that there are no great
causes today, and can identify
with the past in folk songs . The
non-conformist finds his rebellion
mirrored in a thousand verses.”
He predicts an optimistic future
for the folk song. "Folk music will
grow without destruction of the
form, and will always be music
that is understood.”
THE OLD songs, Brand says,
will reach new heights of popu
larity, provoking even more con
troversy among folk mongers. The
friction, he points out, exists be
tween the “purists” the his
torians, the lovers of the authentic
sound and the “popularizcrs,"
who are willing to debase’a song
for profit. The purists’ great fear,
he says, is that "bad songs will
drive out good” and that the
masses will hear them done only
juke-box style.
“When the popularize! 1 over
steps the bounds of taste and
decency.” Brand states, “sounds
of fury will force him back.”
Folk songs as a “special ma
terial” will be even more prev
alent in the future, Brand pre
dicts, and government sponsorship
of folk music will increase. The
folk idiom, he says, will thus be
strengthened.
