conducting. Following will be the
first movement of Mozart's "Flute
Concerto," with flutist Martha
Rearick, '60SM, and conductor
Douglas Isaacson, '62SM.
Gary Stollsteimer, Grad.,. will
be featured in a trumpet concerto

ing. "Il mio tesoro" from Mozart's
Don Giovanni, conducted by Ro-
berta Wolff, will be sung by tenor
Charles Walton, '60SM.
To Feature Pianist
A winner of the Stanley Medal,
Karen Taylor, '60SM, pianist, will
be featured in the first movement
of Grieg's "Piano Concerto in A
minor." Tom Kirshbaum, '60SM,
will conduct.
The University Orchestra had
its beginning as a small student
group formed in 1859 called "Les
Sans Souci." An orchestral club,
it was made up of flutes, violins,
violin-cellQs and guitars. It has
grown to become the official Uni-
versity orchestra.
Each year the orchestra pre-
sents two formal concerts, in con-
junction with the speech depart-
ment. It also presents two operas
a year, under the direction of Prof.
Blatt. The Concerto Concert is pre-
sented every two years.
Born in Vienna
Prof. Blatt was born in Vienna
and began piano lessons at the
age of three. When he was 22
years old he held the position of
director of the German Opera'
House in Brno, Czechoslovakia.
In 1937 he came to the United
States and conducted several opera
companies in New York. He di-
rected the New York Opera Com-
pany's production of "Rosalinda,"
the Broadway version of "Die
Fledermaus." After its Broadway
run he took it on an American and
overseas tour under the auspices
of the USO.
Prof. Blatt came to the Univer-
sity in 1952. In addition to his
University duties, he has trans-
lated and revised many standard
operas. He translated "Don Pas-
cuale" for the fall opera, syllable
for syllable, in order to maintain
the harmony between music and
language in which it is written.

By ROBERT JUNKER
City Editor
Judy Nichols wraps up her four
year activities career at the Uni-
versity this week as the 1960
Michiganensian, of which she was
editor, is distributed.
Along with the 'Ensian, she also
found time to be a Frosh Weekend
assistant general chairman, a
member of Alpha ,Gamma Delta
sorority, president of the educa-
tion school, a member of Senior
Board, Wyvern and Scroll hon-
oraries.
Judy observes that activities are
not attracting the freshmen as
they used to. After rising to top
jobs in high school activities, stu-
dents are forced to do menial labor
(ditto -machine running) in ac-
tivities during their freshmen year
at the University.
Activities Problems
She believes that the freshmen
who do turn out "are just as
talented as ever." One of the ac-
tivities problems, Judy says, is that
many freshmen try to do too
much, and are either overwhelmed
or lose interest in their jobs.
She also cites "the one year at-
titude toward activities." Many
enter an activity with a short-
sighted view. After one year of
work, they are ready to leave and
try something else, rather than
building on the experience they
have gained. Also some freshmen
start an activity because of the
high school attitude that "every-
one participates." These people
quickly lose interest and drop out.
Judy says activities such as
Homecoming and Michigras\ are
on the way out. "Everyone wants
to see them, but no one wants to
do the work. There's more to col-
lege than building a float," she ob-
serves.
No Picture Book
Judy 'sees her activity, the 'En-
sian, as more than just a picture
book. Not only does it provide a
yearly look at the University, but
the viewpoint shifts from year to
year. The 'Ensian is also sent to
several high schools, which pro-
vides good publicity for the Uni-
versity, Judy declares.
"The book also has value in pre-
serving the traditions of the Uni-
versity."
And it has provided its editor
with knowledge about the Univer-
sity and its functions.
She is especially proud of the
way the 'Enslan helps its staff.
"From the freshmen on up, every-
one makes an active contribution
to the book."
But the 'Ensian has not taken
all Judy's time this year. Among
other things, she has been the
president of education school.
"Last spring someone dared me
to run, so I did.":
As an active member of the edu-
cation school, Judy has views on
the curriculum. Her major was
elementary education, but she be-
lieves the entire teaching program
should be revamped. "Now, the
only valuable experience is prac-
tice teaching," she maintains.
The school should cut out a lot
of the presently required courses,
Judy adds. In their place should.
be added courses where observing
teachers in action is an important
part of the work. Also needed is a
general course telling where ma-
terial can be located, rather than
the current ones which require
students to formulate specific les-
son plans.
"No one can teach you how to
teach," she declares. "They should
give you an overall view of teach-
ing and let you observe and prac-
tice-this is the only way each in-
dividual can work out -his own
technique."
Judy's own program included re-
quired courses in elementary school'
are, physical education and mu-
sic. She believes the curriculum
should also include a required
course in how to teach reading.
Next year, Judy will teach first
grade pupils in her home town of
Grand Blanc, even though she's
"not particularly arty."
