'U' TRADITION:
Choral Union To Give 'Messiah

By CAROL EIFRIG
The Christmas season of 1879
"witnessed the initial performance
of the University Choral Union,
a performance which included a
selection from Handel's "Messiah."
Since that time the famed ora-
torio has become a part of Uni-
versity tradition. The Choral Un-
ion will present the work in its
entirety at 8:30 p.m. today and
at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow in Hill
Aud.
In celebration of the Musical
Solciety's 86th anniversary, the
Choral Union will join with the
University Symphony Orchestra
and four' professional soloists -
Helen Boatwright, soprano; Jean
Sanders, contralto; Charles Bress-
ler, tenor; Howard Nelson, bass.
One of Oldest Choruses E
"The Choral Union is one of
the oldest continuous choruses in
America," Lester McCoy, the
group's conductor, said, "How-
ever, the organization of the chor-s
us has not changed much since
its first appearance in the win-
ter of 1879-80."
"The Choral Union is still the
performing nucleus of the spon-
soring Musical Society," he added.
"Established on the principle of
bringing the highest quality mu-
sic to the public, the Choral Un-
ion has never lowered this stand-
ard."
Gradual Turnover
This stability of organization
and tradition is due, in part, to
the very low leadership turnover
of the Musical Society. There have
been only six conductors in the
history of the Choral Union. Mc-
Coy is the present musical direc-
tor and has held this post since
1947.
Moreover, since the administra-
tion of the Choral Union's first

This "power of the signature,"
in the University's view, is merely
a manifestation of operational
necessities, and certainly does not
represent the primary function for
which counseling is established.
According to Manning, the un-
derlying aim of the program has'
little to do with these structural
procedures, and instead focuses
on the development of a mean-
ingful counselor-student relation-!

Anderson notes. "Although fac-

to pay this excess for what it

DETROIT-Wayne State Uni-
versity's Liberal Arts faculty voic-
ed mixed reaction to President
Clarence Hilberry's proposal to
create a College of Creative Arts.
Hilberry's proposal calls for the
creation of a new instructional
unit and the reorganization of
present programs. The budget of
the new college would be formed
from the present budgets of the
units transfered to the college.
The majority of liberal arts de-
partment chairmen called for
further information on President
tilberry's proposal before discuss-
ing the relative merits of a new
college.
CHAPEL HILL - Students at
the University of North Carolina
voted "Yes" on the National Stu-
dent Association by a 2,966 to
2,471 margin in a campus-wide
referendum here last week.
The favorable verdict for NSA
ended a bitter two-week campaign
that pitted student body President
Bob Speadman's "Carolina Stu-
dents for USNSA" against a well
organized anti-NSA group led by
Bayard Harris and Nelson Schwab,
two members of the Men's Honor
Council.

Detroit businessman and philan-

University with $175,000 to be

will serve as a headquarters for
their university religious groups
will be known as the Charles
Grosberg Religious Center. The
Grosberg gift will be used for the
construction of a common library-
reading lounge, seminar classroom
and a meditation room. The build-
ing is being financed by the dif-
ferent religious groups and private
donations.

DENVER - The presidents of
Colorado's eight colleges and uni-
versities and Gov. John Love pre-
sented a blueprint for higher edu-
cation which included a Denver
Metropolitan College and a state-
wide junior college system with
three new junior colleges. The
Denverncollege is to establish the
first two years of study by 1965
and would later be converted to
a four year college. The junior
colleges are to be in El Paso
county, Denver, and the Boulder-

group.
