A concert fun to watch — and to listen l| art=

DEPRESSED — TIRED
The psychology department is con
ducting a study of the causes and
treatment of individuals who feel de
pressed and don’t know why, often feel
tired even though they sleep a lot, are
very moody and generally seem to feel
bad most of the time. If you seem to fit
this brief description and would like to
participate in the study, please call the
Public Policy Lab at 845-8800 to set up
an appointment.
Rarely is a classical concert as
enjoyable to watch as it is to lis
ten to.
But the Charles Trege-
r/Andre Watts concert, spon
sored by the MSC Opera and
Performing Arts Society Tues
day night, was one of those rare
times.
Violinist Treger and pianist
Watts proved their reknown as
virtuosos in their performance
of four Beethoven sonatas for
violin and piano.
Their abilities were especially
evident in the third piece they
performed, Beethoven’s Sonata
No. 5 in F major (“Spring”).
Neither watched the other
play during the concert. They
didn’t have to — that’s how at
ease they are with each other.
The two have been performing
together since May 1978, and
obviously work well together.
They followed along to
gether in the music almost in
stinctively, and their flawless
performance hid the acoustical
problems Rudder Auditorium
often presents.
Treger was marvelous on vio
lin, managing to play both deli
cately and boldly.
Intensely involved in the mu
sic, he scowled at his instrument
and shook his head as violently
as possible while still bracing the
violin with his chin.
By the end of each piece,
Treger’s salt-and-pepper-gray
hair was throroughly mussed
from all the head shaking.
And then there was Watts.
Although his playing was oc
casionally covered by Treger’s
violin lead. Watts showed his
genius with the piano through
out the concert.
And he was as much a joy to
watch as he was to hear.
Watts, who has been per
forming since he was nine years
old, has a repertoire of facial
expressions that may surpass
his musical repertoire.
Totally absorbed in his mu
sic, he would crouch over the
keyboard, glaring at his score,
then suddenly sit back, smile
and raise his eyebrows, his
hands moving'^across the keys
the whole time.

Compromise amendment
tackles school prayer issue
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Senate
backers of organized school
prayer fashioned a compromise
constitutional amendment
Tuesday that permits silent or
audible prayer and lets religious
groups use government build-
ings.
The compromise fused seve
ral proposals in hopes of satisfy
ing enough senators to win the
two-thirds vote necessary for
passage. The amendment now
under consideration by the Sen
ate states that prayers may be
recited aloud in public school
classrooms.
Both proposals say the gov
ernment shall not force anyone
to participate or dictate what
the prayer will be. Opponents
say they are not voluntary be
cause children will have to listen
to someone else’s prayer or suf
fer peer pressure if t(jey leave
the room.
Senate Republican leader
Howard Baker hoped to vote
Wednesday on the compromise
but Sen. Lowell Weicker, R-
Conn., said he would block ac
tion.
“I’m not prepared to agree to
that kind of quick deliberation
on an amendment to the Con
stitution of the United States,”
Weicker said.
The compromise is aimed at
winning the votes of those w ho
support observing a moment of
silence in classrooms and those
who say Bible study and other
religious groups should be able
to meet in school buildings.
