'U' Glee Club rates
in world competition
By JOE VARGO
The University has a reputation for
'inning teams, but ore of the top prize
getters-the 'Universty Men's ' Glee
Club-doesn't get mudirecognition.
The Glee Club is conidered one of the
five best amateur singing groups in the
world. This summer, it captured its
fourth championshiop of the Llangolen
Musical Eisteddfodd, an annual inter-
national music feitival in Wales at
which the best moral groups from
around the world attend. The Glee Club
also won the eveit in 1959, 1963, and
"IT SURE WAS exciting to win in
Wales," said Glee Club director
Leonard Johnson. "The competition is
the crucible fa Michigan Glee Clubs.
Everybody tried extra hard, and it was
nice to see theextra work pay off." Af-
ter the group won the competition in
Wales, the Glee Club performed in
Rome, Venice, and Paris.
In the pst decade, however, in-
terest in the glee club has waned. Ac-
cording to Johnson, ten years ago, glee
club concerts used to sell out Hill Aud.
Now the group's performance just
barely half-fills the auditorium's main
floor.
"Students are much more mobile
now," Johnson said. "There is a much
larger group of activities to choose
from-there is more competition for
people's time."
BUT THE LACK of student interest
doesn't shake Johnson's enthusiasm.
"I'm not as concerned about the num-
bers of people sitting in the audience as
I am about the quality of the concert,"
he asserted.
This Saturday night, the glee club will
host the Purdue Glee Club at Hill Aud.
So far, interest in the show seems to be
picking up as excitement builds for this
weekend's football bout between the
two schools.
Glee club president Neil Hediger said
ticket sales are going much better than
anticipated. "We seem to be enjoying a
rejuvenation," he said.
"This Saturday night, students will
see a freshapproach to exciting music.
They should come away loving music
more-it will be a memorable event,"
said Johnson.

air and organic matter in the soil create
acids that seep into the rock. Other
caves, says National Geographic, are
formed by wind, ocean and volcanic

Faculty reassured of search involvement
(continued from Page 1)
SACUA member Jesse Gordon asked
the Regents to consider developing
"some kind of long-term plan for fun-
ding that catch up to salaries at other
institutions," in light of the fact that
funds from the state legislature are
tight this year.
vBUT THE REGENTS response
showed that they too feel constrained
by the lagging economy and the
passage of the Headlee proposal.
"You've got to bite the bullet," Dunn
said. "We can't provide above the
board increases when inflation is run-
ning the way it is."
Nederlander termed a tuition hike to
offset a faculty salary increase "un-
palatable" and noted the Regents were
seeking outside funds such as "en-
dowed chairs" to aid the faculty.
"We can only go so far with tuition, so
we have got to develop these outside
sources," Nederlander said.
Regent Thomas Roach (D-Grosse
Pointe) agreed that "We can give up on
the legislature" to stop the faculty
salary erosion, but added that the
faculty "won't get ready support from
this board for a ten per cent salary in-
crease."

The support of GEO, though endorsed
with applause from most of the spec-
tators, was voiced predominantly by
former GEO vice-president Marty
Bombyk.i
"THE UNIVERSITY ofMichigan has
rapidly gained the reputation of being
the J. P. Stevens of higlir education,"
she said.
Bombyk added that to continue the
case would be "callous intransigence"
and urged the Regents to "drop the
case and return to the bargaining
table."
Also included in the public comment
session was the endorsement of the
Sturgis Report by Michigan Student
Assembly President Eric Arnson. The
graduate student backed the report, but
he addressed one issue which was not
decided in the report: the future of the
hotel within the Udion.
ARNSON AD"OCATED transfor-
ming the rooms ito dormitory rooms.
''It is incongruous that student money
supports a hotel operation which
students don't use," he said.
Earlier in -he day the Regents,
reviewed a new report submitted by
Vice-President and Chief Financial Of-
ficer James Brinkerhoff and Vice-
President for Student Services Henry
Johnson which recommends that a
dining hall be constructed west of
Mosher-Jordan which-would be used by
all Hill area dormitory residents.
