And there were Peter, Paul and Mary. Other groups sold more records and certainly generated more excitement, but the group that may someday come to symbolize the time and its music best is Peter, Paul and Mary. It was a time of social change, of protest and activism, and a time when protest and activism came to permeate popular music. Through it all through every major movement there was P. in the middle of everything, with a song about love between brothers and sisters all over the land.

This is conceded by several federal officials and the replaced prime contractor for the.

$100,000 program which has been providing day care for between 35 and 50 children of the agency's employees since last fall. In bureaucratic terms, one official of the agency pronounced the effort a "qualified success." Others have called it a disaster, citing the "logistics problem" of having a Los Angeles contractor operate a day care project in Washington, D.C., and grumbling about having 3-to-5-year-olds turned the conference over to Ashe, wearing his McGovcrn and Black Power buttons, who an nounced that John Newcombe, Ken Roscwall, Rod Laver, Tony Roche, Mark Cox, Cliff Drys- occupying the agency's executive dining room. Late last summer, the Office of Education awarded a $100,000 contract to the Far West Regional Educational Laboratory in Los Angeles for what was termed by one agency official as the "most promising proposal" among "six or eight" bidders to establish and operate the day care center. The agency official said, "There might have been lower bids" but "we weighed the technical competence dale and Roger Taylor would probably play, along with Donald Dell, Pancho Gonzalez, Tom Gorman, Gene Scott, Erick van Dillen and more JlW' i v- 'tiWtti-bmlb' I 1" well-known players plus Arthur's friend Bill Cosby, Burt Bacharach, Peter Duchin, James Kranciscus, George Plimpton, Dinah Shore, Neil Simon, Eunice and Sargent Shriver, to name some of the celebrities.

We sent out a bid and we won the contest." Despite a federal official's insistence that the laboratory had expertise in running day care centers, a laboratory spokesman said it has operated no others. Some federal officials attribute other first-year difficulties to the "layer problem" in laymen's an inability among parerits and project personnel to find out wiio was in charge of what. The new contractor which refused to discuss its plans for the center's next year-has promised to end this kind of communications hang-up by setting up advisory groups of parents and staff to keep the people involved in the program in touch with each other.

Over the first year of operation the center was attended by mostly black children at one point there were 37 blacks, 12 whites and one eur-asian whose parents paid fees ranging from $3 to $15 a week, depending on their government salaries. For the summer it will continue in a nearby church and this fall will reoccupy the executive dining room of the Office of Education, currently undergoing a $7,000 renova- tion to correct some "small physical problems" in the $10,000 layout contributed at the start by the Ford Foundation.

Almost from the first a primary difficulty arose: how to effectively operate a project on the East Coast from California.

The laboratory assigned a staff to Washington for the center but, federal sources said, the laboratory became ensnarlcd in bureaucratic misunderstanding over what was intended to be an autonomous Washington office, and the Los Angeles staff began to make frequent -and expensivecross-country trips to untie the knots. The attempts were unsuccessful, and, for not clearly explained reasons, U.S. Commissioner of Education S.J. Marland Jr. last winter, midway through the laboratory's contract, took a hand in dissolving the partnership after the one-year contract expired this spring.

A new contract, again for $100,000, has been awarded to the Institute for Advanced Urban Education." The institute, with offices in Washington, New York and Detroit, was selected for the new contract as a competent minority business organization with the help of the small business administration.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Organizers of the Bobby Fischer-Boris Spassky world championship chess match will restrict move-by-move coverage and photographs of the contenders inside the contest hall, it was announced yesterday. The announcement brought protests from news wire services and from two television outlets which are planning in-depth accounts of the 24-game match based on move-by-move reports from The Associated Press. The first game is scheduled for Sunday. WXXI said it plans to carry the world chess championship matches between Fischer and Spassky beginning Sunday at 10 a.m.

Commentary will be provided by American Chess Master Shelby Lyman, who will monitor the championships (transmitted from Reykjavik, Iceland) from a studio in Albany. Lyman will analyze the potential course of the game using a demonstration chess board. On Sunday, WXXI will broadcast the matches from 10 a.m. until completion. During the week, telecasts of the matches begin at 1 p.m., with periodic bulletins after 4 p.m., when regular programming starts.

It is interesting to note that Rochester Philharmonic performed on an unusual stage layout that consisted of three hexagonal platforms (on the same level), effectively dividing the orchestra into three sections, violins, winds, and lower strings. Jones pointed out to the audience that this was set up for a televised taping session this week, done in cooperation with the Greece school system on a grant from the National Foundation of the Arts.

What was significant to this listener, was that this set-up provided the orchestra with They advertise it as "The best dictionary ever produced by man" "a veritable monument of exact and patient scholarship." I won't dispute that. But it also is the hardest thing to read since someone inscribed the Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin. The type is so small they give you a magnifying glass when you buy the dictionary, probably one of the most unusual books to be sold in Rochester in recent years.

The strings had a more-than-fighting chance to be heard over the ever-promi-neant brass (normally on risers behind the strings). It might be wise to experiment further with the entire orchestra on one level, as in this case.

Copland's early works (of which Billy is one) have come to typify what is now considered one of the indigenous aspects of American music, a cleanness of line and crisp-ness of details. In this work, the frequent usage of open fourths and fifths give it a "cowboy on the prairie" mood of reflection.
