He suggests the adoption of one school by each local institution,Admittedly surprised by the cooperative spirit in the school district, the West Coast educator says that an anti-administration tone is predomonates in L.A. But as he says, L.A. is about 8-10 years behind Brooklyn. %u201cParents are not as involved in councils, don%u2019t make any hard decisions (except for Title 1 arrangements); they don%u2019t choose principals; and wouldn%u2019t have been involved in the selection of a superintendent, he says.The possibility of trying to put into practice theories he espoused for almost a decade is what particularly attracted him to New York, Harris explains. And now he will try to put this into action. He will see, as he says, whether he can really share power.Though the decentralization arrangement is still imperfect, with many policies and rules still centrally dictated from Livingston St. and with information still bung given to the press before it is divulged to the districts, Harris still believes in decentralization%u2019s possibilities%u2014in the challenge. Community involvement makes a difference, he asserts, and what happens in our local schools will prove it.Thw work, by Tim Rice and Andrew Webber, authors of %u201cJesus Christ Super Star%u201d , is a contemporary cantata with a rock beat, and will be performed with guitar, piano and organ accompaniment.%u201c Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor D ream coat%u201d antedates the tremendously popular %u201cJesus Christ Super Star%u201d and was the first collaboration of authors Tim Rice and Andrew Webber. It received extrem ely favorable reviews from several English newspapers and critics, and the authors then went on to create %u201cSuper Star%u201d , the rock opera that topped the. lists on the American album sales charts.Written in the mid-1960%u2019s, %u201cJoseph%u201d contains a variety of songs from upbeat to downbeat, which have been in rehearsal by the young Brooklyn performers since last October.The Old Testament story has not only been set to rock music but updated by lyrics such as:%u201cAll these things you saw in your pajamas are a long range forecast for your farmers and I%u2019m sure it%u2019s crossed your mind what it is you have to find. Find a man to lead you through the famine with a flair for economic planning. . .Seven summers on the trot were perfect, just as Joseph said Joseph saw that food was gathered ready for the years ahead. Seven years of famine followed, Egypt did not mind a bit. The first recorded rationing in history was a hit!%u201dThe hour-long program will be followed by refreshments in the Church%u2019s Hillis Hall area which contains Tiffany windows of an ecclesiastical theme.
