The Soviet Georgian Dancers and
Tbilisi Polyphonic Choir kept a crowd of
2,600 breathless with excitement for
two hours Sunday, drawing frequent
bursts of applause and several standing
ovations during the performance.
The troupe showed through its perfor-
mance some of the culture of the
Georgian Region with its pagan and
Christian influences. The dances and
songs showed many aspects of the
peasant’s life ranging from military
marching songs to the courtship of a
village maiden.
THE SENSATIONAL “Fekhtovani-
ye” (Round Dance) highlighted the first
part of the program. Sparks flew as the
dancers dueled with swords and shields.
The crowd showed its approval with a
standing ovation as intermission began.
About 25 members of the Jewish
Welfare Federation of Dallas picketed
the performances, passing out pamphlets
to the crowd as the audience entered
They carried signs written both in Eng-
lish and Russian to call the attention of
the audience and members of the Rus-
sian troupe to Soviet oppression of the
Jewish people.
“They won’t let them be Jewish, but
they won't let them leave either,” Judy
GardenswarU, chairwoman of the Task
Force on Soviet Jewry said. “The Rus-
sians only remind them they are Jewish
through persecution.”
THE MAIN goals of the federation
are better conditions for the Jewish
people in Russia and also the bringing
of Jewish immigrants to the United
States. “The Russians are very con-
cerned about their national image,”
Mrs. GardenswarU said. “They release
Jewish prisoners when pressure is ap-
plied to project that they have good will
for all.”
The Dallas group works in accordance
with the National Conference on Soviet
Jewry.
In the second part of the Soviet pro-
gram. a seven-member portion of the
choir, the “Gordela,” sang a cappella
versions of old Russian church music
and folk songs.
Shouts of “bravo” were heard as the
company performed its number “Sorev-
novanye” (Dance Competition). This

Artist Avoids ,
Runs Over Works
By WILLIAM DEENER
Daily Reporter
To avoid “falling into a rut” he might
run over his print plates with a car, drag
them behind his car or let them be rained
on, Rudy Pozzatti told art students and
faculty Monday, the first day of his
workshop.
Pozzatti said it was the responsibility
of an art teacher to stay ahead of his
students. “You can lull yourself to
sleep,” he said. There are some print-
makers whose works have not changed
over many years, and this he wants to
avoid at all cost, he added.

Pozzatti is a distinguished professor
of fine arts at Indiana University and a
world-renowned printmaker. He has
won numerous awards during his 20
years in the printmaking field and his
works are included in the permanent
collections of more than 150 art muse-
ums.
He is conducting a daily workshop
through Friday, and his works arc on
exhibit in the gallery of the art depart-
ment through Oct. 25.
The first stage of any of his work is
“stark,” he said. His plates are deeply
etched making a “hell of a commitment”
from the very first. “Works are never
finished; you tire of them and either you
die or it does,” Pozzatti said.
Pozzatti has a closeness with people
that is rellected in his prints. There are
many faces projected in his work. “I be-
lieve in people; they are not beautiful,
but they don’t have to be,” he said.
In the print titled “Tower and Turtle"
he uses the turtle to represent all the
things people dislike in each other, the
turtle being slow and ugly. He forces
people to look at these qualities
Pozzatti believes in total commit-
ment to his work. "My only habit is my
work," he said. If an artist tails, it shows
that he has been working and is trying to
move in another direction, he said
He told the students to take advantage
of the art department, because when they
leave the university the atmosphere will
change drastically. There will not be the
facilities and knowledge to draw from,
he said. "You will be very lonely, so
lake advantage of everything," he said.
The administrative burdens on faculty
members concerns Pozzatti, because it
detracts from their work, he said. “If
we are not careful we are going to be
trying to teach people what we are no
longer doing ourselves,” he added.
exhibit, which has been in the museum
since November of 1963, was redesigned
this summer by Linda Lavender, Bar-
bara Buckland and John Swenson.
It shows photographs, documents
and artifacts concerning the boarding
houses, the first graduating class, the
football teams, the women's basketball
team, the tennis team and the band.
Original pamphlets about World War I
and World War II are on display and
pictures show the parts played by NT
men and women in the wars.
The museum is open Monday through
Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and
there is no charge for admission.
In order to bring about open discuus-
sion of a taboo subject, George Rout,
director of West Hall, is leading a sem-
inar on death which meets every Wednes-
day at 7 p.m. in the West Hall Cafeteria.
Attendance is restricted to the 30 stu-
dents enrolled in the non-credit course.
Rout said. He interviewed the students
prior to their involvement in the pro-
gram to see what they expected from the
course.
Rout said he feels that knowledge
about death will give "a reference point
from which to make life more fulfilling."
Rout is in the doctorate program in
counseling and student services. He
was enrolled in a similar course for
credit in the spring semester. He is also
on the board of directors for Sudden
Infant Death in the Dallas-Fort Worth
The class, which will continue the rest
of the semester, will have such speakers
as a funeral director and a panel of min-
i ers, Rout said.

consisted of spectacular solo and dual
routines by the male dancers.
The choir sang “Volga Boat Song,”
selections of 12th century church music
and various Georgian folk songs. They
delighted the audience with a polyphonic
rendition of the spiritual “Walk All
Over God’s Heaven” in heavily accented
English.
At the end of the performance, when
all the players gathered on stage for a
final song, the audience gave them a
standing ovation in the European tradi-
tion applause in unison and the So-
viets abandoned their formal concert
poses to grin and wave back.
The first Fine Arts production of the
year brought the Soviet Company to
North Texas. The performance included
other firsts, too. The Coliseum was
used as a theater for the first time for
the concert, the Soviets are on their first
American tour, and Dr. Milan Rebun of
the Fine Arts Committee said, “I cannot
recall NT ever having a performance
with such a total audience response. All
I have heard are singular comments of
praise about the concert.”
“I feel that going to the concert cer-
tainly broadened people’s cultural hori-
zons,” Dr. Reban said. “1 am sure that
other members of the Fine Arts commit-
tee are as pleased as I am at the audience
response.”
SPEAKING OF the Fine Arts Series,
Reban said, “I see our university grow-
ing up, so to speak, and I take this per-
formance as a giant lurch forward. If we
continue to have the kind of support we
had at this concert, we can continue to
get virtuoso performances.”
The next production in the 1974-75
Fine Arts and Lecture Series will be the
presentation of the Polish National
Radio Symphony Orchestra at 8:15
p.m., Oct. 30, in the Coliseum.
