THE WHOLE PROBLEM of music and money or, more accurately, money for music is very much on the minds of Eastman people and. of the University of Rochester administration, as well. Eastman School was founded through gifts from George Eastman, who provided funds both for construction of its buildings and substantial endowment of its operations. For many years the income from endowment was sufficient to keep the school's ledgers in the black. Howe ver, instructional costs, plus the costs of maintaining the school's nine-million dollar plant, have been mounting, and in recent years it has been operating at a deficit some $105,677 in 1961-62.

Up to now this deficit has been met from the school's reserve funds; but, as Provost McCrea Hazlett pointed out to Eastman alumni some time ago, these reserves will be exhausted by erds. Otheri have made names for themselves in radio and television (most prominently Mitch Miller), on Broadway (Ray burn Wright, chief arranger of the Radio City Music Jlall), in music publishing and editing, music library direction, and the like. And, in addition to their full-time professional- careers, several hold executive posts in national music organizations. FOR GRADUATES who undertake careers as composers or concert artists, the going can be tough. To some extent, prizes and commissions help to remove some of the financial road blocks from the path of the budding composer and over the years Eastman alumni have collected a sizeable share.

Among them are ten Kous-sevitsky commissions, fourteen Prix de Rome awards, and three Pulitzer Prizes, including the 1962 winner, Robert Ward. (Eastman School Director Howard Hanson, incidentally, won both the Prix de Rome and the Pulitzer Prize). The trickiest career route is that of the young concert artist. Concert management is big business, and a tightly controlled business to boot and concert managers face stiff competition from radio, TV, and records. Understandably, perhaps, they concentrate on big-name artists, only occasionally billing a young winner of one of the highly publicized international competitions.

Writing on the situation recently, Dr. Hanson noted: "The day for the tour this country and abroad, be has performed and recorded a vast number of new native compositions. And as founder and director of the spring festivals of American music held annually in Rochester for four decades, he has been responsible for introducing more American works than anyone in the musical history of this country." (The same article cited Hanson and Eastman alumnus Peter i among America'i nine "most important living As the Observer points out, the number of works performed at Eastman's yearly symposiums add up to quite an earful. (A rough estimate would be nearly 2,000 compositions by 730 composers from 1925 through 1962). In addition, Eastman's performances of serious American music have been carried via records, radio, and television to listeners around the the world.

TODAY, LARGELY as a result of the school's leadership, American music and musicians are accorded a respect once reserved for their European counterparts. Hopefully, the school will play an equally role in meeting the problems of music and the arts in the Space Age. To its future efforts, Dr. Hanson, who will retire as director next June, has sounded an eloquent prelude in the following words: "Man. if he is to live peaceably with man, must develop sensitivity, understanding and compassion.

But if he is to develop this sensitivity he must have the assistance of every force which can minister to his spiritual growth, philos- ophy, religion, the fine arts, and last but not least, the sensitizing power of great music." fried egg from a well-buttered skillet We had been this night to a party. In the winter, it would have called for white tie and tails, but in August concessions had been made to the rigid proprieties. It had been posh. A concourse of beautifully-dressed, well-groomed men and women; bubbly stuff in long-stemmed glasses, soft music, perfumes. Full of good food, euphoric, and pleasantly weary, I had managed to unzip the thing, and was now engaged in winding the clock, when I was startled by a little desperate cry.

she cried, "the garbage!" 1965, To the question, "After 1965. what?" there is as yet no clear answer. Conceivably, Eastman could increase its enroll-'ment. But with some 400 undergraduate and 200 graduate students, it is op- crating at the upper limits of its capacity. iThe post-World War II rise to 660 students many of them returning GIs seriously taxed both Eastman's facilities and its highly individualized programs, the Admissions Office recalls.) And, although the school's successful Summer Session programs have been expanding in recent years, these, too.

are at near-capacity LEAST IN PART, Eastman's financial situation reflects the widening gap between the funds available for scientific and technical education and those available for the arts and the humanities generally. Not surprisingly, Dr. Hanson, who for some four decades has championed the cause of America's creative talent, has become a national spokesman in the struggle to gain increasing support for music and its companion arts. Hanson has high praise for New York State's flourishing young Council on the Arts, which is bringing music, ballet and drama to many of the state's smaller communities. And, although he generally opposes the extension of federal power, hp has expressed some sympathy for the proposed Federal Advisory Arts Council, and has even indicated that some form of federal support perhaps on a city-state matching basis may be necessary in order to improve the precarious condition of the arts.

ONE OF MUSIC'S big problems, Dr. Hanson believes, is its failure to face the cold fact that "people do not support those things which they do not consider important. "And," he has noted ruefully, "we have not yet convinced them of the importance of the arts in national life. This, I believe, is our next and great task." To some observers it is a task for which Hanson and the Eastman School are eminently suited. A few weeks ago the National Observer pointed out that Howard Hanson, 66, has probably done more for his fellow composers than anyone else.

It was a particularly unpleasant word to impinge against my sensibilities, still delicately attuned, as they were, to the delicious entertainment of which we recently had partaken. "Garbage, my dear?" I said, reproof in my tone.

"Yes," she said. "I'd forgotten. It's Thursday night." "Is there anything particularly significant about garbage," I asked, using the word with extreme distaste, "and Thursday night?" "You've been away," she said. "You don't know. They won't pick up the garbage Friday morning unless it is placed at the curb on Thursday night." I was curious to know what curb.

Did we have to lug the can all the way to the main road, which is Rochester Street, or just out to the gravel road, which runs through what used to be Browns' Grove, and which now is named, I believe, Barbara Street? She said, "Just to the gravel road but in THESE clothes!" "Dearie," I said gallantly, "I'm not going to zip you up again and allow you to handle that can. Even though you've taken off your diamond lavaliere." "But you can't lift it. You're too old. You'll strain yourself. No, no." she protested, and I loved her wifely concern.

"I shan't let you touch it. I'll take it first." I looked at her with warm and tender eyes. I knew in this humor there was no denying her. So I zipped her up and told her that she might lend just a tiny little hand, and together we went out the back door on an enterprise to which, in our great compatibility (who was the skeptical oaf who defined marriage as a "status ANTAGONISTIC cooperation?) we were jointly dedicated. 3VerHulst mwhM'fc.

OUR GARBAGE CAN is a rather formidable receptacle. It is not a pail with a handle that a farmer could carry about, taking slops to swine.

It stands higher than my hips. Studying it in the light from the back porch, we speculated about the logistics of our undertaking. From the place where the can reposes next to the kitchen door to the side of the gravel road is nearly 100 yards. We tentatively hefted the can. Mama's Chanel No.

Then, with something like sheer inspiration like Handel's "Messiah," for example Mama said, "Take your car and carry it in the back." "No sooner said than done," I cried happily. I have a tiny station wagon. Together we raised the can to the tailboard, and Mama watched me with something like triumph as I tooled it down to the gravel road.

I came back to her applause. She was radiant. She might have sung, "My Hero" and flung roses in my path. TASTE THE DIFFERENCE YOUR POTATO PROBLEMS ARE OVER!

Mama became a little bitter, saying that in all our. 36 years in the village we had never before suffered such ignominy, and my plea, that with Scottsville's population explosion two collectors could hardly be expected to enter every yard to get the garbage, failed to move her. "Forced to lift a garbage can in a party dress," she said, looking down at the cunning Coca Chanel number if that's what it was "The vanishing rights of the American!" I reminded her of some of the improvements that had come to village living since we moved out from the city, virtually into primitive territory, where the water was so hard you couldn't raise a suds with a box of soap flakes and earnest prayer; where the road that is now a gravel drive was a quagmire in the spring and a Siberia of 10-foot snow drifts in the winter; when she went down to -good old Will Keys' store to purchase rubber boots for our small boys, Will could only fit them with LEFT boots; before we had a postoffice building, a bank, and in the days when we and the Chinese alone had telephones that you cranked with handle to get Central. "Just the same," she said doggedly, "we never had to carry the garbage can down to the road." She was right about that, we didn't.

In the old days, no one came to collect the garbage. We burned it in the furnace in the winter, buried it in a hole in the garden in the summer, the two of us digging with sharp spades, shoulder to shoulder. I wanted to tell her how well we had paddled our conjugal bark down the long stream of matrimony; how wonderfully in rhythm we had always been.
