Shaw conducts
Symphony here
The Red and Black, Thursday. April 5. 1973
German TV official speaks to UGA journalists
By NELLY FAGALDE
Under the direction of
Robert Shaw, the Atlanta
Symphony gave a concert
Monday night to a full house at
the Fine Arts auditorium. The
concert began with a rousing
rendition of the Star Spangled
Banner Then, after a slight
delay, the Orchestra launched
into Haydn's Symphony No. 87
with the brilliance and vitality
that has won the Atlanta
Symphony acclaim as one of
the finest orchestras in the
country.
The Haydn Symphony was
characterized by a very lively
opening movement and a
pleasing Adagio, the second. A
Menuetto-trio was the third
movement which featured an
oboe solo. The finale was a
Vivace even livelier than the
opening movement.
Next on the program was
Hindemith's Symphonic Meta
morphosis on Themes by Carl
Maria von Weber. The first
movement, an Allegro, was in
the form of a Hungarian
March. The second movement
was a series of variations on a
Chinese melody. One of the
most interesting and enjoyable
of the variations was played on
a variety of percussion instru
ments featuring kettledrums,
cymbals, wood blocks, bells
and triangle The variations
were followed by an Andantino
and the finale, a March.
Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5,
considered by many to be
Prokofiev’s finest work, ended
the concert. This work was
intended by Prokofiev as pure
music, and it was enjoyed as
such.
Cormier wins grant
for research in light
A $41,200 grant to continue
studies into the methods by
which certain sea animals are
able to create light within their
bodies has been awarded to a
University scientist.
Dr. Milton J. Cormier,
professor of biochemistry and
one of the nation's leading
researchers into biolumine
scence, received the grant
from the National Science
Foundation.
Bioluminescence is the na
tural creation of light by living
organisms, such as the firefly.
Cormier has spent more than
14 years studying the pheno
menon is sea pansies and other
members of the coeienierate
family, a group of small sea
animah.
The biochemist has learned
how the pansy is able to send
concentric waves of green light
across its body, and Cormier
can produce the light in a test
tube. He was able to do this by
perfecting a method for
synthesizing an essential ma
terial called luciferase to make
light.
Cormi"r said he will use the
gr; nt to continue research on
the isolation of three proteins
that aid in the production and
control of light in the pansy
and other animals.

Anyone wishing to advertise
a product on one of West
Germany’s nine television sta
tions has a long wait in line,
according to Hans Heine, West
German broadcasting official.
Heine, deputy director of
North German Radio in
Hanover, Germany talked with
Journalism faculty and stu
dents at an informal seminar
held Tuesday afternoon.
Only 19 minutes per broad
casting day are set aside for
commercials, according to
Heine. How do the West
Germans finance their shows?
Nearly 90 percent of the funds
come from taxes. “Everyone
has to pay them whether he
likes it or not!" Heine said.
Those lucky folks who do
manage to have their commer
cials broadcast can choose
between two hours of morning
educational shows, or after
noon newscasts, an evening

can series such as Bonanza,
The FBI, or Gunsmoke, he
said.
West German television is
publicly owned. The stations

Garden
Apartments
are spreau out on the map in
such cities as Hanover, Berlin,
and Munich, Heine said The
state does not hold rigid
control over the stations.
Instead, the oresident of each
station is responsible tor
making the decisions that
confront him on his job during
his six year term, he added
A board of trustees appoints
the president of the station.
However, the board does not
interfere with programing,
Heine said.
According to Heine, “Religi
ous and moral beliefs of our
listeners must he resnerteH Ku
our media up until around nine
or ten o’clock. Then subjects of
controversy such as violence,
or the nnDression of homosexu
als might be discussed."
