Bayreuth, Germany -
(NC> - The rapidly in-
creasing income from
church taxes was the prin-
cipal issue discussed at the
Bavarian
here.
Lutheran Bishop Herman
Dietzfelbinger of Bavaria,
president of the Protestant
Church Council in Ger-
many, urged an examina-
tion of the financial situa-
tion nT the Church and
asked whether the Church
should break its relation-
ship to the State.
In West Germany, all
Church taxes are raised
through government fi-
nance offices. Church taxes
amount to 8 per cent to
regional churches for
maintenance of institutions
such as homes for the aged
and children’s homes.
In his address, Bishop
Dietzfelbinger thanked
working men for "tolerat-
ing, as always, the church-
tax deduction. ’
In the past 10 ears, he
said, Protectant Church-tax
income has quadrupled.
The Church should guard
itself from money, he said.

AN EVENING WITH THE NOTRE DAME BAND
When the University of Notre Dame concert band appears In Corpus Christi, at Del Mer Audito
rlum, at 8 p,m. Thursday evening, April 10, the audience will hear the musical form that most
music critics end educators agree- Is the fastest rising medium of instrumental expression.
Many feel that concert bands have already reached an equal footing with symphony orchestras
In degree of popularity and even more say that the concert band is now in the process of originat-
ing a form of musical expression all its own.
Concert bands, in the not too distant past, attempted to imitate symphony orchestras in the
style of music presented. Today, however, more and more serious compositions are being written
for the band alone.
Composers of band literature have realixed that the range of musical expression of the concert
band is potentially as great as that of the orchestra. Last year on tour some of the Notre Dame
Band's most well-received presentations were contemporary compositions tor band.
With the variety of brasses, woodwind and percussion Instruments in the concert band, many
neW and Interesting effects are possible. Some of them will be presented In the Notre Dame band
concert Thursday evening, April 10.
The Notre Dame concert band Is composed of students selected by audition at the end of the
football saason. Most of the successful candidates were soloists In high school.
The instrumentation is such that there is a minimum of doubling of parts. This allows the full
tonal color of each instrument to be heard.
The band members represent all the undergraduate colleges and most of the academic depart-
ments of Notre Dame.
