FRESI AIR AND SUNSHINE Each summer almost 500 boys, se- lected from the poor and needy of De- troit, Ann Arbor, and nearby towns,; are given a new chance in life-a (:hance to spend a few weeks out in the fir and the szunshine, with good food and healthy surroundings, through the Fresh Air camp operated by the Student Christian association. The cost amounts ito a dollar a day for each boy-and there is no invest- ment which shows such quick and large returns. These summer outings are made possible by a tag day on the campus, combined with subscriptions obtained from those who have been associated in the work and appreciate its great value. Today the University will be given an opportunity to aid in supply- ing the money that will take a few American youngsters who have been{ handicapped by a winter in the squab- for of the city's poorer sections out1 in the country and give them a bit of encouragement-an opportunity to de-{ velop int Teal assets in American life. Work of this kind cannot be measured in dollars and cents. - Of all the drives for funds con- ducted on the campus, this financing of the Fresh Air camp is the most worthy. The small quota desired by the Student Christian association sholuld be easily oversubscribed. Each dollar means another day for another undernourished boy; the price is1 small. 1926, we look back on ten or a dozen student productions which were wit- nessed by practically all the students who consider themselves intelligent members of the University com- ELCOME munity.

MUSICI DRAMA THE FACULTY CONCERT A review, by Robert Henderson. it is easy not to appreciate the ex- traordinary pianoforte department that the UniversitySchool of Music has in such musicians as Guy Maer, Mr. Lockwood, Andrew Haigh, Mrs. Okkelberg and Mrs. Rhead. The course in Russian music given during K the last semester and covering almost the entire literature has been uniqueh in itself: it shows a faculty that through recitals and constant study will not let itself be ground into the lack-lustre rut of the professor too weary or too fearful to polish his own talent with the criticism of audiences.' And of this group-excepting, of course, Mr. Maier-none has made more consistent progress nor has more successfully linked sheer tech- nique with a lyric poetic fire than Mrs. Okkelberg. Her appearances dur- ing the last two seasons in Hill audi- torium and with the Matinee Musicale have shown constant growth, and at the recital Sunday afternoon her in- terpretation of the Arensky Trio in D minor was filled with a confidence and assurance that quite overshadowed, even in the accompaniment passages, the work of the violin and 'cello. The Trio is a striking composition, full of color, deep highlights and a melancholy beauty that is tradition- ally Slavic. Its movements are in a1 classic mould, but the whole tempo and character of the performance held and nearly fascinated an audience that only occasionally allowed its thoughts to stray to the same day a year ago when Mr. Eddie Guest was singing his bashful decalog to the glory of mothers and babies' panties on the back-yard line . . . MIirs. Ok- kelberg impregnated the piece with a full sweeping rhythm that caught the other players, especially Miss Lart- hard, in its rich and grateful har- monies. The later half of the program con- sisted of selections from the Russian liturgy sung by a special chorus un- der the direction of Palmer Christian. The choir contained several unusual voices, including, I believe, Mrs. Grey of Ypsilanti, and an Oriental student in the tenor section. Mr. Christian's training showed a fine feeling for contrast and for decisive effects, and three of the numbers sung without accompaniment, gave the chorus an opportunity to introduce into their interpretation all the primitive, pagan flavor of the Greek church, the almost ungodly ecstacy and beauty of the Russian ritual. Mr. Christian's opening numbers on the organ were hardly as fortunate. There is in his work a certain, recur- ring impression of muddiness, as though too many paws were at work-. due, no doubt, to the sad decay cf his instrument. The first piece was a halting performance of the Tschai- kowsky Marche Slave, and the second was Borodin's "At the Convent," highly conventional with bells and bass harmonics, tragic prayers, trick candles . . . oh, my priests-ah, my nuns! THE PULITZER PRIZE The annual award of the Pulitzer Prize of five thousand dollars for the finest American play of the year pre- sented in New York has been granted to George Kelly's "Craig's Wife," now playing at the Morosco theatre with! Crystal Herne in the title-role. George Kelly is also the author of "The Show- Off" which notoriously failed to re- ceive the award two years ago in fa-f vor of the inferior "Hell-Bent Fer Heaven.''

MUST TIIIERE BE A FALL? In the year 1923, the dramatic activi- t ics upon the campus consisted of: a lasques .production in Hill auditori- um, entitled "A Thousand Years Ago," which was quite elaborate and color-{ ftl, but had little real theater; two orI three smaller programs of one-act plays, given in Sarah Caswell Angell :all, which drew some hundred peo-{ ple each, and consisted of sincere but dcicdedly amateurish productions, with home-uiade sets and costumes amusing home-made audiences; and the Comedy Club procuction of "Cap- tain Apflejack," which drew two Ibcuses t, th e Whitney, but never sold standing room..
