'Flood of Applications
Mr. Graham says organizations considering programs to support scholars In Russia should work together to establish a joint U.S. Russian committee that could impartially review proposals for assistance. "For ii foundation y American organization simply to declare itself open to applications for support to young and talented Russian scientists and artists would result in a flood of applications that would be difficult to evaluate." he says.
He and Mr. Skolnikoff say the programs should also encourage Russian scholars to remain in their country to avoid exacerbating the brain drain. They say program also should emphasize support for younger scholar* who are not as politically well connected, or insulated from cuts, as the older scholars.

"INVISIBLE COLLEGE" WINS PRIZE FOR REFORM.
The Invisible (невидимый) College, a non-traditional institution
(учреждение) in Budapest offering individual tutoring (наставничество,
руководство) and academic support (поддержка) to a limited number of
"gifted" (одаренный) university students, has won this year's Hannah Arendt
Prize.
The prize, first awarded (врученный) in 1995, is given annually by the
Vienna-based Institute for Human Sciences in recognition (в знак признания)
of "outstanding, self-initiated reform efforts in higher education and
research (научное исследование)" in the formerly (бывший) Communist
countries of Eastern Europe. It carries a cash (наличные деньги) grant from
the Korber Foundation of Hamburg, Germany, of 300,000 DM, or about
$176,000.
Founded (основанный) in 1992, the college took its name because it
has no facilities (оборудование). It provides (обеспечивать) intensive
academic support to undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral
candidates (докторанты) at a variety (ряд) of Budapest institutions. This
year, it has 73 students. They were selected in a competitive (конкурсный,
состязательный) process and are considered among the most promising
(обещающий) social-science students in Hungary. Each one is assigned
(назначен) tutors (наставник) and is offered special classes. The students
also are given stipends, so that they can devote (посвящать) themselves
exclusively (исключительно, только) to their studies. The program is
financed by grants from Hungarian businesses.
Educators (педагоги) in the region say that programs similar
(подобный) to the Invisible College have been established (открыты) in
Poland, Romania and Slovakia.

JAZZ ON CAMPUS
by Charles Levin
When David Roitstein helped launch the jazz studies program at
California Institute of the Arts in 1983, he faced an immediate dilemma.
Roitstein supervised a small but immensely talented group of students who
wrote their own compositions. But, other than taping a concert or
rehearsal, he had no way to preserve threir work for history; the resources
for a compact disc just weren't available.
"It was always important to us to document the music the music," says
Roitstein, who teaches piano at the Santa Clarita-based school. "That was a
priority, particularly because there's so much original composition here.
If you're just reproducing standard repertoire, I suppose it's important to
record the performance, but it takes on another level of importance when
you're documenting new original compositions."
Salvation arrived in 1989, when Joe Smith, then president and CEO of
Capitol-EMI, joined the institute's board of trustees. "He recognised the
program's value but realized thhat few people outside the school knew about
it," says Roitstein. Smith immediately volunteered his industry clout to
get the program free studio time, tape, engineers, CD production and
marketing savvy.
With continued help from EMI, CalArts (as it's known to denizens)
this year released its 10th CD of student jazz ensembles, a collection of
recordings that have won consistent raves for virtuosic performances.
Getting a composition selected for the CD is highly competitive.
Students submit taped compositions in the fall. The 13-member faculty -
including program co-founder and bassist Charlie Haden, drummer Joe
LaBarbera, percussionist John Bergamo and saxophonist Vinny Golia - pick
from nearly 80 compositions before making final choices. Ensembles record
in Capitol's famed Studio B, where Frank Sinatra and Nelson Riddle worked
magic in the 1950s.
Recording time is limited to two hours for each group, creating a
real-world atmosphere for students. That they record under high pressure
fulfills one goal of the CD project.
"I'd like for all our students to be comfortable in the studio,
whether it's doing professional production work, being studio musicians or
playing their original creative music," Roitstein says.
No one song on any CD sounds the same. The material ranges from
straight-up bop and full-throttle fusion to avantgarde musings and
Latin-jazz. Previous recordings have included Macedonian folk songs,
CalArts' African music ensemble and a six-part choir for hi-hat cymbals.
"We're looking for the most successful and interesting music in
whatever instrumentation or aesthetic direction the students are going in,"
Roitstein says. "Joe Smith always said when he listened to our CDs, it was
like pressing the scan button on the radio. And that's what we want: to
make a record that has some unity as a production but really represents the
broad range of the work that goes on here."
