Classical guitarist to play in SUA concert Monday
A young protege of classical guitarist Andres Segovia will be the next Student Union Activities (SUA) Special Concerts attraction.
Australian John Williams, who studied the guitar for five summers under Segovia during his early teens, has been acclaimed by audiences in Europe, North America, Japan and the Soviet Union.
The 24 - year - old Williams'
repertoire includes early lute and guitar music written by Preteri-
torius, Gobiel and J. S. Bach; concertos by Viwald and trans-
portations of works by Handel.
He will perform in the *International* Theatre at 8 p.m. Monday
Williams' first teacher was his father who began tutoring him when he was seven years old. Four years later he began his studies under Segovia at the Academia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, Italy.
Madrid, Spain, accorded Williams a singular honor in 1961.
He performed at the Prado Museum of Art—the first time a recital had been allowed in that building.
Although Williams will be performing in Murphy Hall, another concert a few feet away may deprive some music students of the opportunity to hear him.
Music students must attend a required number of concerts and recitals sponsored by the school. A member of the music faculty is performing the same night in Swarthout Recital Hall.
"Because of a conflict with a scheduled faculty recital we couldn't give the students credit for attending the Williams concert," said L. Don Scheid, assistant dean of the School of Fine Arts.
Those who attend the Williams concert may enjoy the blend of technique, tone and music which r New York critic called "the working of a thoroughly musical mind that realizes the individual character of every work."
Wallace into 1968 race
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — George C. Wallace, Alabama's segregationist former Governor, declared his candidacy for president today with an appeal to "the man in the street" who is fed up with riots and lawlessness.
"The typical American of all races is tired of riots, of crime running rampant in every city of our nation." Wallace told reporters. "The man in the street knows that it is the activist—the militant—who is responsible.
"If I were +president I would give my support to law enforcement officers to enforce the laws. I would see to it that you could walk the streets of Washington if it took 30,000 troops with two-foot bayonets."
Wallace also said he felt the President should rely more heavily on military advice to end the war in Vietnam.
Wallace, in good spirits but looking a bit tired, said he hopes to get his name on the ballot in every state. He flew to Washington from Montgomery to make his long-expected announcement and proclaimed he was "in the race irrevocably."
The former Alabama governor, a Democrat running at the head of his "American Independent Party," said he did not plan to enter any Democratic primaries and would not seek support at the
Democratic national convention in Chicago.
Wallace said his primary purpose in running was not to throw the election into the House of Representatives.
"I am in this campaign to win," he said. "Of course, it is always possible that it will go to the House. But suppose it did do that. We would be no worse off. I don't believe there is 10 cents difference between the leadership of the two major parties. We have nothing to lose."
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—(UPI)—The official entry of segregationist George Wallace into the presidential race drew the immediate, and predictable, support of his governor - wife Thursday, and poles-apart reaction from other politicians and Negro leaders across the land.
Wife backs him
"It's a sad thing." countered E. D. Nixon, Alabama president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
"Wonderful," said Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox. "He's a great man. I wish he was president."
Sen. Charles H. Percy, R-Ill., said Wallace's announcement makes it imperative that Republicans gain control of the House of Representatives.
ALBUQUERQUE—(UPD)An elderly man convicted of threatening to kill President Johnson was held today for sentencing.
Man convicted for death threat
Secret Service officers testified Shirley Elmore Lee Rucker, 60, of Albuquerque, was intoxicated when he telephoned the President at the White House Oct. 24, and threatened to shoot Johnson.
Garbage cure too costly
NEW YORK — (UPI)— Mayor John V. Lindsay today rejected as too costly, a solution to end the city's week-long garbage collectors' strike that has left some 80,000 tons of refuse on sidewalks and streets. Lindsay asked again for the National Guard to clear the waste.
Representatives of the 10,000-member Uniformed Sanitation Men's Association voted to accept the solution proposed by a five-man emergency mediation panel formed Thursday night by Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller.
Lindsey, weary and drawn, said at an early news news conference he was rejecting the one-year contract recommended by the panel because it was 20 per cent higher than a proposed contract the union agreed to accept two weeks ago. The city also rejected that proposal, Lindsay said.
But the mayor's rejection apparently ended hopes for an immediate settlement to the strike that has left garbage piled as high as first floor apartment windows in some areas, spilling across the sidewalks and into the streets. The refrain was growing at the rate of 10,000 tons a day.
The city's health crisis "is deepening," the mayor said. "If they (the garbage collectors) don't go back to work the rubbish has to be picked up by the National Guard." Rockefeller rejected Thursday Lindsay's proposal to call in the National Guard.
The series of events that led to the dramatic disagreement between the state's two leading Republicans began Thursday with Lindex declaring the city "in a state of health emergency" and appealing to the governor to "help the city out of its disaster."
The mediation panel's proposal called for annual raises of $425 and fringe benefits retroactive to
July 1, 1967, according to union counsel Paul O'Dwyer. The union members have been working without a contract since June 30, 1967, demanding $600 annual increases.
The city offered $300 raises. The garbage collectors now receive $6,424 per year to start and top pay of $7,956 after three years.
