White America has ignored a humanistic body of Afro American literature that sheds light on many problems dividing the country today, a noted black author said Tuesday at Michigan State University. Dr.

Margaret Walker Alexander was one of the featured speakers during MSU's University College Symposium "On Becoming Human." After tracing the origins of black literature as f.r back as the Egypt of the Pharaohs, Dr. Alexander pointed out that many whites believe the black writer is a recent phenome non, when actually "black people have been creating and publishing a body of literature in this country since colonial days."

"But the tragic fact remains that white America has never listened.

She seems to have lost the capa city to hear with an inner ear the voice of suffering and despair, or the clarion call for freedom that the downtrodden, oppressed black masses are daily shouting to the white world." Dr. Alexander said black literature has always been permeated with ideas of revolt against artifice, sterility, self consciousness, contrived morality and phony ethics. It has always been natural, freely experimental, always humanistic, most of all authentic of what is most real in the black experience. "Afro Americans now why the quality of life 'n America has gone sour," she said. "It is because her values are based on money and industry.

It is because racism, militarism, materialism, and financial imperialism have gained a stranglehold on this society." Dr. Alexander concluded: "I would riot be true to the humanistic tradition of Afro American literature if I were pessimistic and did not believe in the goodness of the future. a i 1 1 come and there is hope for i better world.

The Westminster Choir joined the Philharmonia Orchestra in a performance of Mozart's Minor Mass "The Great" on February 10, at the Academy of Music.

The Westminster Choir has set a standard of choral excellence through its tours, jn the United States and abroad and through its many recordings with such orchestras as the New York Philharmonic. In addition to the chorus, there were four vocal soloists in the Mass: Bc nita Valente soprano; Mary Burgess mezzo soprano Jon Humphrey, tenor; and James DeHave.n, bass. The All Mozart program opened with the Haffner Symphony no. 35 in D. Ling Tung will conduct.

The Minor Mass grew out of Mozart's deepest feelings; it was an offering of thanks for the recovery of his wife from serious i 1 1 ness. Love for his wife, an accomplished singer, shines through the radiant music written for the soprano soloist. One reason perhaps why this work is not often performed is the' difficulty of the vocal parts, especially the soprano solo. Benita Valente of Philadelphia sang this part. Miss Valente appears with every major orchestra in this country and came to the February 10 concert in Philadelphia from concerts with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Later this season she will sing with the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Pierre Bou lez and in the title role of Charpentier's "Louise" for Sarah Caldwell's Boston Opera Company. For the past six years, she has performed annually with Dr. Tung and the Philharmonic Orchestra. Joining Miss Valente in the vocal quartet was Mary Burgess, a beautiful mezzo soprano, who is appearing twice this season with the Philadelphia Orchestra, touring with Music From Marlboro, and singing at the Lincoln Center Mozart Festival. For three years she was with the New York City Carnie G.
