By RAYMOND HOLTON
A special committee, appointed
five years ago to study problems
of the Huron River watershed, will
present part of its findings to a
seven-man House committee Mon-
day morning.
- A. E.'Wolter, vice-chairman of
the Huiton River Watershed Inter-
government Committee, explained
yesterday that the Ann Arbor
area's water supply is in danger
due to excessive runoff in the
early spring and the growing pop-
ulation in the area.
Since the committee was ap-
pointed by the Washtenaw Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors, it has

ARTS AND LETTERS:
Herbert Lauds Wagner,
Cites Growth of Opera
* By JOHN BRYANT
Wagnerian opera still is enjoy-
ing tremendous popularity in
America, but it faces the problem
of a language barrier in reaching
its audiences, according to Prof.
Ralph Herbert of the music school.
Prof. Herbert, who sang in last
year's touring performance of "Die,
Meistersinger," cites this opera as
an example of the language prob-
lem.
"In New York, the Metropolitan
Opera continues to stage Wagner,
even though its head admittedly is
not a Wagner addict, because of
the tremendous box-office success
his works receive.
"Although we no longer have
Lauritz Melchoir and Kirstin Flag-
stad, there are other artists such
as Jerome Hines, Jon Vickers,
Irene Bahlis, Birgit Nilsson, and
Hans Hopf who can satisfy the
demands made upon a Wagnerian
singer," he adds.
However, Wagner is at a disad-
vantage in America because of the
language barrier, he notes. "It is
difficult to ask an audience to sit
through six hours of 'Parsifal'
without understanding a single
word."
Translation, although useful in
some works, does not seem to be
the answer where Wagner is con-
cerned, according to Prof. Herbert.
The task is tremendously difficult
due to the complexity of Wagner's
librettos.
"Wagner did not write his operas
completely in modern German,,
Prof. Herbert explains. "When he
described historical scenes occur-
ring in the 16th century, he would
use 16th century German. Fur-
thermore, his use of weird rhymes
and words not found in any dic-
tionary makes a faithful transla-
tion extremely difficult."
Prof. Herbert also feels that
Wagnerian plots may be too far
removed from modern life to
achieve immortality. In his opin-
ion, "Die Meistersinger" is Wag-
ner's only eternal work, its bick-
ering townsmen being closer to our
realm of experience than the Norse
gods and Rhine maidens of his
other works.
Wagner is not remaining com-
pletely static, however. In Bay-
reuth, Germany, the site of Wag-
ner's triumphs, his grandsons are
stripping many of the elaborate
props and costumes from the pro-
ductions in an effort to stream-
line them.
"It is difficult to predict the
future of Wagner in America,"
he concludes. "Those of us -in this
country hope that in the next few
years, American opera will begin
to come to the fore. Whether Wag-
nerian opera can compete with
operas which all can understand is
conducted a comprehensive study
of the problem with the aid of
University researchers and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The
Corps of Engineers was allotted
$50,000 by the federal government
for its part in the study.
Recommends Dams
Wolter said the watershed com-
mittee believes.the water carried
by the Huron River should be
impounded and released gradu-
ally. This, he said, can be done
by the use of dams placed in the
upper regions of the Huron River.
University researchers on the
committee include Prof. Lyle E.
Craine of the Natural Resources
School, and Prof. William J.
Pierce of the Law School.
Robert Carpenter, director of
the Washtenaw County Planning
Commission, explained that the
watershed committee wants the
legislators to propose a bill en-
abling legislation. for local man-
agement of water basins.
The seven-man House commit-
tee has been touring the state
water basins between legislative
sessions. This interim committee
studies the problems of each basin.
Local Handling
The watershed committee is
composed of 32 governmental
units, from townships to counties
situated in the Huron River basin.
He said five major reports will
be presented to the legislators and
a special movie of the Huron River
area is scheduled to be shown at
the meeting.
Members of the watershed com-
mittee i n c l u d e representatives
from Wayne and Macomb coun-
ties, downriver communities, Belle-
ville and area townships. There
are 32 members on the committee.
Carpenter said he was in hopes
enabling legislation would be
passed in the next regular session
of the Legislature.

Q~
FRTENTIS A .MIHGAw
By BURTON MICHAELS
The fraternity system is not
declining, but offers Greeks def-
inite advantages, Prof. Paul P.
Van Riper of Cornell University
told the second annual Fraternity
Officers Conference yesterday.
That the system is gaining in
membership and scholarship is
evidenced by the fact that the
total number of chapters in
America has doubled since World
War II, that the number of na-
tionals with over 100 chapters has
increased from six to 11 since the
war, and that the percentage of
fraternity systems whose grade-
point averages are higher than
all-men's averages has risen from
40 to 50 during this period, he
said.
Among advantages of fraternity
life he cited were leadership qual-
ities, evidenced by his Army ex-
periences where Greeks proved
better leaders, group association
and lifelong loyalties and friend-
ships.
To further strengthen the sys-
tem, Prof. Van Riper suggested
that fraternities make the faculty
more acquainted with the nature
of fraternity life, through such
programs as faculty speakers.
Prof. Van Riper is the repre-
sentative of the National Inter-
fraternity C o u n c i I scholarship
committee to the NIFC executive
committee, and general secretary
of Beta Theta Pi national frater-
nity.
Lehman Notes
The University has rented tem-
porary space for the offices of the
education school dean and of the
Center for the Study of Higher
Education on the second floor of
the Ann Arbor Bank Bldg. at South
and East University, Prof. Charles
F. Lehman, assistant to the edu-
cation school dean, said yesterday.
The offices will be moved to
permanent locations pending Uni-
versity construction of office
space, probably within about two
to five years, Prof. Lehman said.
