U' Symphony
To Perform
The University Symphony Or-
chestra will present its annual fall
concert at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in
Hill Aud.
The main selection on the pro-
gram is "Pictures at an Exhibi-
tion" by Moussqgorsky and Ravel.
Originally written by Moussogor-
sky for the piano,,the composition
was orchestrated by Ravel.
The orchestra, under the direc-
tion of Prof. Josef Blatt of the
music school, will also play
Brahm's Symphony No. 2, the
Overture to Rossino's "Barber of
Seville" and Debussy's "Afternoon
of a Faun" with a flute solo by
Martha Rearick, '60SM.
The orchestra, composed of 110
University students, is complete-
ly student managed. The general
manager is Lawrence Hurst,
'59SM. Robert Hause, Grad., acts
as conductor in Prof. Blatt's ab-
sence. Roberta Wolff, '60, is public
relations manager and John
Christie, Grad., is librarian.
Prof. Blatt, who came to the
United States from Czechoslo-
vakia in 1937, became director of
the University orchestra and op-
era production when he came to
the University in 1952.
The orchestra has already
given two performances this year
for school children in Toledo.

emphasis on the practical side ofI
learning rather than book-learn-
ing and classroom work. Students
have a great opportunity for ap-
plying their knowledge to the prac-
tical side of day to day life."
Covers Wider Range
Shah explained that in America
a student covers a much wider
field of study than in Pakistan,
where study is generally concen-
trated on one field to the exclusion
of all others.
Therefore,sin the United States,
"the student has a much greater
opportunity to apply his back-
ground to any field he might en-
ter."
"I became well acquainted with
the United States and its system
of education through contact with
United States experts in educa-
tion who visited Pakistan, and I
acquired a strong desire to come
to the United States for my educa-
tion," Shah said.
Studied at Karachi
Before coming here, Shah stud-
ied at the University of Karachi
where he received his BA in 1951,
his LL.B. (bachelor of laws) in
1953 his MA and BT (bachelor of
teaching) in 1954, and taught his-
tory, geography and language for
about four and a half years.
One thing which has particularly
impressed Shah about the United
States is the hospitals and clinics.
"They have excellent administra-
tion and organization," he said,
"and the dietary service is remark-
able: The diet presented to the pa-
tient is part of the treatment.
Patients Receive No Food
"In Pakistan if a patient is ad-
mitted to a hospital he receives
medical treatment, but no food.
The family brings food prepared
at home which is often in no way
good for the patient. People have
no idea at all of nutrition and
diet."
Here at the University, Shah is

"The Lesson" by Eugene Tones-
co, the third of the speech depart-
ment's experimental one-act plays,
will be presented at 4 p.m. tomor-
row in the Arena Theatre of the
Frieze Bldg.
First done in the United States
in the PhoenixMTheatre in New
York starring Max Adrian and
Joan Plowright, the story of the
play is symbolic of the education-
al situation of contemporary
France, according to Richard
Flasher, '59, director.
To secure permission to produce
the play, the speech department
first wrote to Ionesco's New York
agency, but found he had dis-
continued his connection. Final-
ly the letter was forwarded to the
playwright himself who is now
living in Paris and he wrote a per-
sonal letter in French authorizing
the production.
The plot of "The Lesson" con-
cerns an aged professor in France,
played by Don Catalina, '59, who
tutors a young girl, Fern Bender,
'60, assisting her to prepare for
her doctorate examination.
As the story evolves, the pupil
soon proves that she is smarter
than the professor and is subse-
quently murdered by her tutor.
The fact that this is the 40th such
killing done in one day by the pro-
fessor is soon revealed.
Another pupil comes into the
professor's office just as the pre-
vious girl's body is being carried
away, showing the continuous
cycle of the situation.
Ellen Wittmann, '61, as the
maid. is the symbol of the profes-
sor's conscience and continually
warns him to stop his actions. He
refuses to listen to her since she
is younger and he considers her
inferior to him,
Ann Watzel, '59, designed the
scenery and Pat Marthenke, '59,
is the stage manager for the play
by Rumanian-born Ionesco, who
also wrote "The Bald Soprano,"
"'The Chairs," and "Jack or The
Submission."
