Across Campus -1 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 s 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.

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.
