PAGE EIGHT |V' Ws ' v'* ' NO STRUMMING ALLOWED on ihe classical guitar, which requires nearly all fingers to be at work simultaneously. Geoffrey S. Holister, professor of engineering mechanics, i Is one of ihe few classical guitar virtuosos in the state. Here he shows the technique to Alice Paterson (81h-English-Hunlingdon). Engineering Professor Plays Classical Guitar Once a week an engineering professor lays down his slide rule, puts aside his research on man- made composite ma terials, and disappears into a small room where he spends the day vibrating strings. A mad scientist? Not really. For Geoffrey S. Holister, professor of engi neering mechanics, is also one of the few classical guitar virtuosos in the state. And on a part-time basis he’s teaching students the i first classical guitar courses eyer held at the University. This engineer’s part-time ap pointment to the music depart- ’ ment makes the University one of the few universities in the 'nation offering classical guitar instruction to students. In fact, trained classical guitarists are so hard to come by that less than a handful in the state are qualified to, teach. But no beatniks, pop dr folk guitarists need apply for Hol ister’s course. Bau Habits He is firmly discouraging such fans, not because he dis approves of their music, but because he says that type of guitar playing teaches them bad habits . . . habits that are dif ficult to break. “They learn to hold the fingerboard like n baseball bat and the fingers of the right hand become immobile from holding a pick. In the classical guitar, virtually all the fingers are at work simultaneously and independently,” Holister said in a recent interview. The two instrments are dif ferent—so different that he thinks they should have differ ent names.

The classical guitar requires a long apprenticeship of hard and devoted practice before an acceptable standard of per formance can be reached. Five years of practice is minimum, he said, before a classical guitarist would consider show ing his face and instrument in public. The pop or folk guitar, Hol ister said, appeals to the ‘I-can teach-you-to-play-in-sevei -days’ syndrome. While the idea of an engineer wearing the hat of a music virtuoso may seem strange, Holister maintains that it is not strange at all. Music and Math “It is only recently that the schism between the arts and sciences has appeared.” As early as the Sixth Century, B.C. the Greeks used the vi brating strings to relate music to mathematicians and it was the early Pythagoreans who were thus responsible for the introduction of music—as a mathematicial discipline—into the curriculum of the medieval universities. “It is also not generally realized that the modern laws of planetary motion were estab lished by Kepler as a result of his attempt to relate musical harmony (the myth of the music of the spheres) fo plane tary motion.” Holister arrived at the Uni versity last ear by way of the Univesrity of Wales where he taught engineering. He first studied the guitar at the Spanish Guitar Center in London while he was a stu dent in physics at London Uni versity.

From Oxford Holister later taught guitar at Oxford, England his home town. He founded a school there which is still active under the guidance' of a for mer pupil. Holister feels that the guitar is probably the most personal instrument that can be played. “You hug it to you and experience direct physi cal contact between fingers and strings • dthout any mechanical interm edia r jy such as a bow or keyboard,” he said. When Holister isn’t teaching guitar, he teaches engineering mechanics and conducts re search into the properties of man : m ad e composite ma terials, trying to determine strength and stress behavior for making components like turbine blades and deep-sea submersibles. He has written two books in the field. And when he has a little ex tra time, he practices judo with his eight-year-old son. He holds a green belt in the sport.

(AP) St. Francis College students! went to the brink of a demonstration yesterday in the library clothing feud, but ended up keeping their cool. They heeded a student group’s plea to handle the dis pute through negotiations with the administration. Talks were scheduled to start today. Some students are clamor ing for the right to wear casual clothes to the library, but the college has a rule requiring more formal attire. , Robert Cox, an editor on the school paper, said 200 to 400 students planned a march on the library yesterday evening in defiance of a ban on sweat shirts, jeans, sneakers and slacks with patch pockets. But the Student Government Association held an emergency meeting yesterday aft >rnoon and appealed for suspension of the demonstration. The associa tion said it felt the dispute might be settled “through nor mj channels.” Cox said the students have been trying for over a year to get the college to change its policy about dress in the li brary. Things came to a head last week' when the librarian, New Aid Plan Introduced Students who are holders of Commonwealth scholarship s will automatically receive a special rene al application from the Higher Education As sistance' Agency during the Spring of 1968 to determine the students continued eligibility for Commonwealth scholarship assistance. The new plan is intended to facilitate a smoother renewal procedure between the institu tion of higher learning, the ap plicant, and the Higher Educa tion Assistance Agency. The renewal application will be an abbreviated form used primarily to update the fi nancial status of a sc' olarship holdler’s family and take into account any changes that have occurred in the student’s fi nancial situation. It will also serve to update PHEAA rec ords on any outside aid the stu dent may have received since he was awarded a Common wealth scholarship. EDS MISCELLANEOUS CINEMA X: the neon avenging giraffe.
