besides Professor Hildner. They are to appear
in traditional German student dress, including
school caps and colored sashes representative of
various fraternities and duelling clubs.
Following the Germans, who are to open the
program, three Japanese women students, Kimi
Nojima, '32M, Kikue Sato, '31, and Hanako Ho-
shino. '30, will present a folk song and dance of
their native land, named Doyo. In singing this
number, the title of which means in English,
"Song to the Shooting Star," and which is a
children's lullaby, the singers will evolve, dance.
steps interpretive of the words of the song.
Czeslaw Cialek, 13, boy pianist,. will be the
first of the Detroit artists 'to appear. He has
arranged a program of Polish numbers, including
Paderewski's "Melodie in ,G," and Chopin's
"Valse" and "Etude, Opus 10, Number 5." Cialek,
who has been studying for several years under
Frank Bishop, one of Detroit's best known piano
teachers, has already attained the ranks of mu-
sical composers, by virtue of having arranged a
medley of Polish dance tunes.

The hula-hula as it is danced in Hawaii will
be demonstrated by Josephine Marques, '31, a
native of the Sunny Pacific, who has danced the
hula on the famed sands of Waikiki. She will
dance the hula in the form in which it origi-
nated, a classic folk dance interpretive of Ha-
waiian legendary lore, in which the motion of
body and feet provide a rhythmic background
for interpretive movements of the hands. By
watching the movements of Miss Marques' hand
it is said that an audience can follow the mean-
ing of the song which is to be crooned by her
partner, Joseph Akua, '31.
Akau will- play the guitar and thus, furnish
his own accompaniment for the native songs he
has chosen to sing. He has had, a long training
of stage experience and is said to be a performer
of distinguished versatility.
This will not be the first appearance of the
Hawaiian couple in Ann Arbor. They proved a
nastic team: Everet Carman, Elmer Townsley,
and Harry Steinberg.
An Armenian home scene is to be presented
by a group from Detroit, headed by Harry
Ekisian, :director of the Armenian chorus of De-
troit and Highland Park. Mr. Ekisian, who re-
ceived his artistic training in Boston, is said to
possess an unusually rich baritone voice. His wife
is to appear with him on this part of the pro-
gram, in which Miss Malena Avakian will per-
form an Armenian folk dance.
Bulgaria will be represented by Miss Florence
Boycheff, '30 SM, who has been trained under
Prof. Theodore Harrison. She will appear in the
colorful costume which has been worn for cen-
turies by Bulgarian natives, and will sing a group
of folk songs. One of the numbers on her- pro-
gram, "Vino Pia," is the song of a lover who
toasts with wine the praises of his sweetheart's
eyes.
Madhusan Mozumdar, Grad., well-known
University strong man, will present an exhibi-
tion of Indian athletic culture. Mozumdar has
made a- large number of stage appearances and
has been featured in motion pictures for his feats
of breath and muscular control. Among his
tricks are the lifting of iron weights,' and the
flexing of any muscle in his body. His breath
