Glee club
to travel
to Europe
(Continued from Page 1)
Two of the groups' more profitable
performances included a venture at
Detroit Orchestra Hall - sponsored
by the Alumni Association - and a
singing engagement at Tiger Stadium
during the final game of the World
Series.
MEMBERS of the club, however,
are not comfortable resting on their
laurela.
"In the competition there is one
other group from the state and one
from England considered comparable
to ours," said bass Douglas Bond.
"But after we've been singing five
weeks I think we'll have a great shot
at winning."
The group's reputation may provide
a psychological edge. Bond noted that
the University Men's Glee Club has
won the Llangollen competition four
of the five times it has entered.

is leaving for a European tour tomorrow.

told UPI there were four confirmed
Israeli positions in the U.N. zone
yesterday as well as three mixed
positions of the SLA and the Israelis.
The U.N. zone begins 5'miles from
the Israeli border.
In Paris Thursday, Israeli Foreign
Minister Yitzhak Shamir said
"several hundred Israeli soldiers are
left" - down from at least 40,000
troops Israel had in Lebanon during
the invason and resulting occupation.
"IF THERE is calm, I don't think
there will be any Israeli military
presence whatsoever," Shamir said.
"The last phase of the withdrawal
os in its last stages," a military sour-
ce in Tel Aviv said, amending a report
by informed sources in Tel Aviv Thur-
sday night that the withdrawal was
completed.
The war has cost the lives of 654
Israeli soldiers, drained the Israeli
economy of $3.2 billion and sparked
the first anti-war protests in the coun-
try's history.
Israeli officials have made no
secret that some troops would stay in
Lebanon to monitor the SLA, which
Israel has been trying to broaden and
shape into an army containing
Christians as well as Druze and Shiite
Moslems.
Corrections
A photo caption in yesterday's Daily
incorrectly identified a speaker as
Bob Forman, president of the Univer-
sity Alumni Association. The subject
was actually Dennis Helfman, chair-
man of the Alumni Reunion Activities
Council.
A story in yesterday's Daily
misspelled the names of two alumni.
The correct spellings are Charles
Winfield and Elizabeth Downie. In the
same story, the number of guests at
an alumni ball was incorrectly set at
540. Only 300 guests attended the
event. The Daily regrets the errors.
