Have Information C-SEVEN Sects Revere Footprint On Adam's Peak in Ceylon COLOMBO, Ceylon At Die summit of Ceylon's Adam's Peak is a fcotprint-shap ed depression revered throughout Buddhism as the mark where the foot of Uuddha stood on his third visit to the island.

Another- stct, the Hindus, believe this same mark to be the footprint of their deity, Siva. Christians and Muslims accept it as Ihe footprint of Adam, who was obliged to stand on one foot for 1,000 years after being expelled from Eden. Another Christian legend recalls that ths foolprint was made by St. Thomas, the Doubter, who visited' Ceylon on a journey to spread tha Gospel throughout Asia. Thousands of devout Buddhists make the pilgrimage to the top of Adam's Peak every year.

The candidate for Ihe new Doctor of Musical Arts degree i be working for achievement as a performer or composer in the world of music and not on according to Luther Noss, dean of the Yale School of Music. This Yale program, effective next marks the first time that any university music school will demand professional accomplishment and not academic study as Ihe decisivle requirement for Ihe doctoral degree. There will be two separate but related parts to the Yale program: a new three-year pre-doctoral program to be taken in residence at Yale, leading to the Masler of Musical Arts (MMA) degree; and the Doctor of Musical Arts degree (DMA) program, open to those wilh the MMA degree, concentraling on creative wnrk-in-performance orcomposl- tion.

Dean Npss listed Ihree reasons why Ihe riew Yale program now meets lha need. 1. It demands that the candidate prove his ultimate right to the doctoral degree by actual achievement In the profession. 2. It insures lhat only outstanding performers or composers can or will considered for such a degree.

3, It acknowledges lhal the DMA is professional degree and not to be confused or di- system, ski areas would pay only 1 per cent of all sales under the hy- break-even point. But they would pay 1 per cent for the second 25 per cent, cent for the Ihird, 8 fur the fourth, and of all sales over 100 per their total investment Lawyer Retained An attorney, William J. Corney, of Denver, has been hired by some of the giants in the ski business to argue I i case' against the proposal. Carney sums it up this way: "It will exact excessive fees from profitable areas, and thus penalize them for efficiency, while encouraging the establishment of marginal areas. It will be difficult and costly to administer, and It is not in the public interest." Carney thinks the new system could even result in higher lift- ticket prices.

'There may he room for negotiation over minor details, but this system is going into effect next 1" he said. "I don't think they have any intention to hold hearings--they're not about to offer that courtesy." Statistics Disputed He said ski areas are not entirely against change or improvement in the present rental rates, but they want more time facts to he gath- luted with sundry and often irrelevant pedagogical, historical, and theoretical research assignments.

Other Arguments The Vail report added, "if a village develops adjacent to national forest land, the national forest land increases in value probably to a greater degree than does the adjacent commercial property. Should tho per- mittee be taxed because of this fact?" Other arguments came from Robert B. Loughery, vice president for winter sports tor the National Forest Recreation association, headquartered in Boise, Idaho.

When ordering the statue of himself and "Fop" he provided no more details than that his horse, long dead, was to be' 15 hands high and well proportioned.
