Artists representing more than ten of the prin-
cipal countries of the world will unite Tuesday and
Wednesday nights in presenting the fifth annual In-
ternational Night, sponsored by the Cosmopolitan
Club of the University. Hill auditorium will again
be the scene of the Ann Arbor production, while
Pease auditorium in Ypisilanti hai been engaged for
the Wednesday night presentalion, following1 lie
extraoirdinary success; of last year.
The, brilliance and atnosphere that has charac-
terized the past programs of the Cosmopolitan Club
is more than guaranteed for this week's event by
the wide scope of the entertainment provided by the
committees after many weeks of prepartion. Syd
P. Husain, Grad., has been in charge of the work as
general chairman, while separate committees for
each nationality represented have beenl negotiating
for acts to sincerely~ present th er part in te
pageant. T1he project as a wole' will s and as lhe

scope, until it stands as the one ig gesture o1f the
organization towards the rest of~ the cameosrThe
Cosimopolitan Club has adopted for its motto:
"Above all nations is humanity," and for the first
time this year it has been woven into the Interna-
tional Night program as the principal and govern-
iug theme, supplying a unity to the separate events.
* ioiiiIsL President Of Club
Raja Howrani '23 is the president of the Cos-
mopolitan Club, and has contributed to the success
of the past programs and to the difficult work of
organizations. Other officers of the club are Kamal
Diakoff '28, Margaret H-olderman '23 and Alexis Lap-
teff '29A. Carleton Wells, of the rhetoric dpart-
ment, is faculty treasurer of the organization, and
has unofficially sponsored most of the events.
Special attention has been paid by the com)initte-,
for this year's program to obtaining more local and
tUiversity talent thani in the past. The success in
this move has created a more typically reresenta-
tive array of features while making no sacrifice to
the finished production. In fact more different na-
tionalities and races are represented than when
outside assistance In filling out the program was
sought. A few professional acts from Detroit and
the vicinity have been obtained on the request of
committeemen who thought them specially appro-
priate for an International Night. These are headed
by the Polish pianist, Kasimir Obecny, who is well
known for hi; concert wor.
