Miss Ballard began her talk on reader
"Is Mere Tolerance Enough?" by the bo
pointing out that much intoler- "The
ance has been carried out in the women
name of religion down through the sign o
ages. Examples would include the backs
Crusades and the Holy Wars.
Many of these incidents have
been connected with political fac-
tors, for intolerance occurred to
a great extent after the joining of t
church and state.-
Although people consider them-
selves more tolerant today, true'
tolerance still does not exist, Miss
Ballard said. There are examples r-
of open hostility between groups
of peoples of different faiths to
be seen often in the newspapers.
Furthermore, she explained,
human nature is such that each
religious faith tends to consider
itself as the only true way to sal-
vation.
Tolerance in its usual sense of
enduring something while remain-
ing indifferent to it is now sim-
ply not enough, she said. Real tol-
erance consists of taking an ac-
tive interest in faiths other than
one's own, of studying and appre-
ciating them and ultimately of re-
specting and esteeming them.

George Lenox, art director and
production manager for the Uni-

of his duties, designing the book-
jackets for the University-spon-

small staff of production work-

works in this capacity.
Role of Cooperation
Lenox sees himself and his staff
in the role of "commercial artists
cooperating with the author to
provide the best design for the
sale of the book.
"This involves much more than
just formulating a suitable layout
for the book, due to the very na-
ture of the beast," he said. "Our
staff is, in addition, entrusted with
the duty of planning size and
format, selecting appropriate pa-
per and cloth for binding and con-

artist to have some working
knowledge of the book. "I try to

Lenox said, "although it would be

The 300-Voice University Choirs
under the direction of Prof. May-
nard Klein of the music school
will give the annual Christmas
concert at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in
Hill Aud.
The 1961-62 season starts with
the Christmas concert at which
the choir will present Alan Hov-
haness' "Magnificat," with organ
accompaniment by Charles Schae-
fer, assistant conductor of the
University choirs. The Arts Chor-
ale will sing Haydn's "Messa Sol-
omnis," with piano accompani-
ment by Becky West, '62SM.
The choir, which is sponsored
by the music school, offers "a
stimulating experience and an ed-
ucation in the great classical and
contemporary-masterpieces," Rog-
er Wolthuis, 62, of the choir's
publicity and membership com-
mittee, said. -

The choir consists of students
Stout To Discuss
History of Horn
Louis J. Stout of the music
school will discuss the history and

series sponsored by the literary
college honors program and the
music school.

from all aspects of the University
life. Music school seniors are re-
quired to be members of the choir
as it stands for a University cred-
it course, Ensemble 352.
Other students who join the
group include those who have been
members of the choirs in their
high schools or churches and who
wish to continue as members of
the University choir, and those
who look for diversion from their
studies and find singing an inter-
esting diversion, Wolthuis said.
Tryouts are held each semester
during registration to select in-
terested students.
Separate choirs within the Uni-
versity Choirs specialize in spe-
cific repertoire and offer credit to
all students of sophomore stand-
ing and above. However, freshmen
may also participate in the groups.
Practice Sessions
Each group meets on special
days of the week and the whole
Choir meets every Wednesday eve-
ning for practice.-
The Tour Choir, a select group,
goes on spring tours with Prof.
Klein. Last year the group trav-
eled for seven days throughout
Michigan giving one or more
concerts each night. The 16-mem-
ber Tudor singers perform an-
-nually in the Collegium Musicum.
The newly formed 160-voice Arts
Chorale will be a mixed choir this
year and will be occasionally sub-
divided.

Miss Nemlaha, who is as con-
cerned as Carder with the prob-
lem of leadership, says the League
is considering this problem on the
president's level with both the
Panhellenic Association and the
Assembly Dormitory Council.
Interfraternity Council and the
whole fraternity system will also
be concerned with providing year
round leadership. Most houses will
be forced to change the times of
selecting presidents, IFC Presi-
dent Robert Peterson, '62' says.
A president might have to be
.elected on the basis of whether or
not he intended to stay at the
University the full year. This
would mean that he might be
elected by many who wouldn't
even be present during his term,
All houses will probably have to
elect their presidents each trimes-
ter, Peterson remarks. Approxi-
mately half the houses currently
elect executive officers on a se-
mester basis.
Provide Leadership
Peterson is not worried about
leadership in the individual fra-
ternities because a fraternity pres-
dent can learn his job very rapid-
ly. But he is more concerned with
providing leadership for the IFC.
It takes more time for -a senior
IFC officer to learn his job, he
says. And it is difficult to make
promotions within IFC if person-
nel are not well known.
Fraternity evolution to full-year
round operation will be slow. Pe-
terson predicts that at first the
IFC will operate only during the
conventional two semesters letting
the house operate on a boarding
house basis in the summer if nec-
essary.
"It is hard to say what finan-
cial effect year round operation
will have on the individual units,"
Peterson adds. Each house will
have to determine if it has enough
members to stay open during the
summer months. Peterson predicts
that though all houses will even-
tually be open the whole year, fra-
ternities will probably continue to
rush only two semesters.
Similar Problems
The problems sororities expect
are similar to those of fraternities,'
but Panhellenic Association Pres-
ident Susan Stillerman, '62A&D,
strongly disagrees with Peterson
in regard to tenure of house pres-
idents.
She contends that if house pres-
idents must be elected on a one
semester basis, the results will be
detrimental to the sorority sys-
tem. Miss Stillerman believes that
a house president must have a
good understanding of campus is-
sues in order to guide her group
effectively.

"A president will stifle a house
if she is not :aware of campus is-
sues," she says. If terms of office
were limited to a semester basis,
leaders would never see issues in
their broad context. Presidents
would have to rely on opinions of
others and on recommendations
by previous committees.
Economic Factors
On the other hand, if leaders
were required to be at the Univer-
sity for the whole year, Miss Still-
erman fears that some very cap-
able people would be ineligible for
office due to economic factors.
Many people need the time off
from studies to get a job which
will help pay for their education,
she says.
Miss Stillerman notes that, as-
suming women are given free rein
regarding what trimester they will
attend, fluctuations in member-
ship can hurt small houses more
than large ones.
The sorority system will be hurt
more by year round operation
than the fraternity system, she
says. "Many fraternity men live
out now, and only come to the
house on weekends. But much of
the girls' closeness depends on
their living together."
Quad Problems
Interquadrangle Council Presi-
dent Thomas Moch, '62E, says the
biggest difficulty for the quad-
rangles will lie in theirhphysical
structures. It is difficult to ren-
ovate on any significant scale
when the quads are in use.
Most major renovation of the
quads now occurs during the sum-
mer. The quads are presently fill-
ed to capacity, and it would be
virtually impossibledtotevacuate a
house or corridor for renovation
purposes of any length of time.
Air-conditioning will probably be
necessary. But Moch noted that
the quadrangles have a $30 mil-
lion bonding capacity which could
be applied to necessary changes.
Assembly President Sally Jo
Sawyer, '62, is not as worried about
renovation as Moch because the
women's dorms are not as crowded

as the quadrangles. It will prob-
ably be possible to make various
houses available for renovation
over systematically varied time in-
tervals.
Miss Sawyer remarks that, like
the League, her organization has
committees researching the possi-
ble consequences of year round
operation. Both Moch and Miss
Sawyer evinced the wide-spread
concern for the need to solve the
leadership problem.
