By BEATRICE TEODORO Student soloists and conductors will be featured in the Concerto Concert at 8 p.m., Wednesday, at Hill Aud. It will be the last concert of the season for the University Sym- phony Orchestra. It will also be the only concert of the season which is entirely student directed.

Prof. Josef Blatt, con- ductor of the University Orches- tra, auditions the conductors. Only seniors and graduate students are neligibleto audition. To Open with Brahms The Concerto Concert program will open with the first movement of Brahms' "Concerto in D minor," with William Boot, '60SM, at the piano, and Robert Hause, Grad., 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 by Riisager, with Hause conduct- 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. --Paul Krynicki 'ENSIAN EDITOR-After four years of activities at the Univer- sity, Judy Nichols, '60Ed, plans to enter the teaching profession. She recently edited the 1960 Michiganensian, "Horizon ... from Heritage through Hope," from which she has learned much about the University.

B 7:00 International Students' Variety Show featuring talent 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." Point Four Conference Slated Today By MAME JACKSON A three-day International De- velopment Conference marking the 10th anniversary of the Point Four program will begin with a public lecture series at 8 p.m. today in Rackham Bldg., Prof. Samuel P. Hayes of the economics department has announced. Prof. Hayes is chairman of the conference, which will aim for greatre public understanding of United States foreign policy and programs of aid to underdeveloped countries. "A unique thing about this con- ference," Prof. Hayes said, "is that it is probably the first one in which both American and for- eign representatives have been asked to view United States for- eign aid policies. It isn't just Americans looking at Americans, but rather the world looking American programs."
