THE MICHIGAN DAILY. . I Music, Drama, Arts, Letters, and Features ® -- .._ TO HOLD TRYOUTS FOR *SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PROF. S. P. LOCKWOOD ENTHUSES OVER PROSPECTS FOR PRES- ENT SEASON Prof. Samuel P. Lockwood, head of the violin department of the school of music, in an interview with a Daily reporter yesterday, was most optimis- tic over the prospects of the Univer- sity Symphony Orchestra for this season. "For eight years," said Mr. Lock- wood, "the steady growth and im- provement in the University Sym- phony Orchestra has been the subject of frequent comment by those most competent to judge. The present sea- son bids to outstrip all previous ones, owing to the fact that the newly ap- pointed teacher of wind instruments in the school of music is at the same time director of the university band, thereby creating a closer sympathy than has hitherto existed." Tryouts will be held at the school of music tonight and Thursday even- ing, between 7:00 and 8:00 o'clock, and the candidates should bring one or two pieces of music with which they are familiar, as sight-reading is not a prime requisite. The work is open to all sufficiently advauciea play- ers, both men and women, and is not restricted to students. Rehearsals are held at 2:30 o'clock every Sunday afternoon.

Tamaki Miura, as Cio-Cio-San, in which part she won an immediate success as the geisha. Geraldine Farrar has appeared in the movies in the splendid love tragedy, "Carmen," with great success. H. E. COFFIN, '03E, IN ANN ARBOR Prominent Automobile Man on Way to California Howard E. Coffin,' '03E, motored here from Detroit yesterday on his way to California where he will spend several weeks. While a student in the university, Mr. Coffin delivered mail for the pur- pose of gaining financial assistance to help him through his course. Shortly before he was due to receive his de- gree, he accepted a position with an automobile concern in Detroit, and since that time has risen rapidly, and is now accounted one of the most im- portant automobile engineers in the United States.

Owing to the appropriation made by the Regents to cover the expenses of Varsity contests, every student this year becomes a member of the Ora- torical association, just as he is a member of the Athletic association, and is likewise entitled to free admis- sion to all Varsity contests and de- bates. The above mentioned "Orator- ical Membership Tickets" are for this purpose, and through the kindness of Mr. P. G. Bartelme, were included in the athletic envelopes merely to facil- itate their distribution. They admit the rightful holder to each of the two intercollegiate debates, to the annual cup debate, and to the two university oratorical contests, and also entitle him to vote at the annual election of officers in the spring. The dates for these various events, except the last, are to be found on the ticket. These debates and contests are simply another chapter in Michigan's untiring endeavor to maintain a posi- tion of honor and prestige in student activities among the great universi- ties of the land. In this field she has a record no less glorious than in that of athletics. Out of 48 intercollegiate debates she has won 32, 21 of them by unanimous decision; and in the Northern Oratorical league she has captured twice as many first honors as any of her six competitors. With this past to look back upon, and the still greater future to anticipate, it is gratifying indeed that the association is now enabled by the Board of Re- gents to throw open these great clashes of collegiate forensic strength to the enjoymen of every Michigan man.

Among the men who have been out consistently, several stand out as al- most certain of their places if they are able to maintain their present pace. In the backfield, three men look like certainties. Hanish and Cornelius, the two huskies from Grand Rapids, both all-state men last year, will probably be seen at fullback and one of the halves. Eggert will prob- ably call signals. Many of the can- didates for line positions look nearly equal, but Peach, Dunn, Bevins and Williams seem to have the call at present. Franchot, a fresh engineer, another all-state man, will be out to- morrow for the first time. Coach Douglass announces that there will be scrimmage this aft- ernoon, and all men desirous of get- ting in the game Saturday should be out.
