United States and Europe, that King innocent wonder has been worn off because they've been exposed to from page seven systems and television. It's not new to them. That's one thing I miss," King said. "The kids here are competent, good, they study, but there's a little zing that's missing." King indicated that the root of this difference may lie in the fact that many of his South African students were not only intellectually hungry, but physically as well. "That kind of put an edge on their attitudes," he knowledge, books, information instructed in South Africa. "Particularly black students from rural areas had this magical quality of inquisitiveness about the world around them. For many of them they would be the first generation in their family to have achieved a high school-leveducation, let alone one at the university level. At home, there would be no books and most likely illiterate parents. Kids like that, who were suddenly coming into this world el of learning, had a beautiful inquisitiveness about learning," he said. "Regrettably, in countries like the said. King said he feels a U. student would fare well at the University of Johannesburg, but would find the system to be much more regimented and vigorous.

The Four Seasons is a difficult and masterfully composed work. Vivaldi eloquently uses the violin and string orchestra to musically wouldn't find the freedom of choice of courses. He would be confronted by a difficult examination system. But they would also find a lot of similarities in the way the university is run and the way the average faculty member presents material," he said. King said he feels the quarter system at the U. is taxing for both student and instructor. He indicated that the semester system would be a more optimal choice. He said he would like to be able to spot students who are lagging behind and to help them in more than a short 10 weeks. He would also like to have more room in his schedule for discussion and practical application of the subjects which he teaches. King said he keeps tabs on the political situation in his native recreate the feelings and sounds of the seasons. Also on the program, Silverstein will conduct the Chamber Orchestra as Utah Symphony associate principal violist Roberta Shulman-Zalkin- d performs two works, Alan Shulman's Theme and Variations for Viola and Orchestra and Johann Hummers Fantasy for Viola and Orchestra. These two works highlight the viola like few others. Snulman, an American composer, said of his creative philosophy that he feels people want "an aural satisfaction that will arouse emotions; they country and feels that it is hopeful. "The changes in South Africa have been very significant and important. The country is now moving to a democratic system and it looks as though the constitutional conference will really make some changes. I think that by 1994 a good deal of the new constitution will be in place," he said. "Having moved from a segregated, undemocratic political system to a democratic one is a tough thing to do. The turning point was in 1990 when three or four decades of political development were reversed. The violence was pretty brutal and ugly but it seems to have worked itself through," King said. He added that a major problem of a new South Africa will be bridging the must have something to grasp and retain namely, a tune." The Theme and Variations exemplifies this philosophy and is an extremely accessible and beautiful work. The Hummel Fantasy is another lovely and technically-challengin- g work. Being a contemporary of Mozart, Hummel was greatly influenced by the master's music, as is evident in one of the themes for the Fantasy, taken from Mozart's "Don Giovanni" Tickets are $12 for seats and $18 for reserved seats at the Utah Symphony Box Office or non-reserv- call 533-N0T- E. education between its gap populations. "They will have to put a tremendous effort into education," he said. "That is difficult and expensive. There are tremendous problems." When asked if he would ever return to South Africa, King said he was unsure. "At the moment, I don't have any plans for going back. Professionally, I have responsibilities here and I have loyalty to the University of Utah at the moment. With the political changes I could live in South Africa whereas previously it was difficult." "People like myself will have to make the decision of whether or not we should return and assist in cleaning up the mess," King said. "It's a decision that will have to be made."
