More than 5,000 students are now enrolled in Prof. Joseph E. Maddy's radio b nd class which meets at 2- o'clock avery Mondayand Friday. During the week Professor Mad- dy visits various schools in the state. In three days last week, he visited classes in 95 towns, each class con- taining from eight to 60 students. The class at Vassar had 40 stud- ents enrolled in the class last yeaq and only 27 this year. When -Pro- fessor Maddy inquired as to the reason for the reduced number, he was told that the remainder of the eligible members of the high school were playing in the band and did not have neec) for the primary in- struction now-being given. "It is remarkable how well most of the classes do," said Professor Maddy. "Most of them havegone ahead of the work that I have giv- en. In one case there was a stud- ent with a violin working along with the class, although lessons on this instrument are not being giv- en over the radio. Arrangements are now being made to give a few primary instructions on this instru- ment." Letters written to Professor Mad- dy show that the students are tak- ing a keen interest in the work. There is a paricular reason, howev- er, why little Dan O'Reilly has en- tered the class. In his letter to Professor Maddy, he said, "I wish the lessons were lonegr so I could miss more school. The rest feel the same about it." At one school that Professor Maddy visited, the students were holding their class in the basement where there was an inch of water. "This-did not seem to dampen their spirits, though." "The best classes," continued Professor Maddy, "are those wl'ich do not. receive -instruction suxpple- mentary to what Igive them. In many cases the school janitor has charge of.the class and has proved to be very: capable under the meth- od that I use." Judge Lacy to Speak Here on Wednesday Arthur J.

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 29-UP)- Alter thousands of years of com- parative idleness, Great Salt lake vould be put to work in a serious. way under a plan being considered cere. First suggested ye irs .9o by Fer- dinand de Lesseps; the French en- gineer who built the Suez canal and started the Panama canal, the pro- p.tsal contemplates the formation, by a series of short dikes, of a large fresh water lake from the eastern arm of the great salty sea. Although it has' been estimated that such a reservoir would provide a total of 2,635,000 feet of water, erough to irrigate 378,000 acges of land, the present plan provides for its use not for reclamation purposesJ but for the generation of power in steam plants that would utilize coal from nearby enormous deposits. From Great Salt lake's total area of about 1,750 square miles, the dikes, extending along thes sub- merged mountain range whose tips form Fremont and Antelope islands, would cut off a portion some 500 square miles in extent. Flowing into thig section of the lake, the Bear, Weber and Jordan rivers, with numerous s m a 11 e r streams, would soon dilute the brine and eventually transform the reser- voir into a body of fresh water. The-present proposal provides for construction of only the first unit of the fresh water lake, by building a two-mile dike from the southern tip of Antelope island to the lake shore and another, about five miles long, from the northwestern side of the same island to the eastern shore of the lake. This would form a body of water some 133 square miles in extent and would be built at an estimated cost of $600,000 to $600,000, as against a total of $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 for the entire project. To augment the flow of the Jor- dan river, the plan includes the construction of a canal 11 miles long to divert the Weber river into the enclosed portion. By James H. Inglis Since the close of the traditional Union Mimes 'opera. there has been a real lack of some one represent- ative campus dramatic and musical show of a broad 'popular appeal. The forthcoming production of De- Koven's "Robin Hood," in which the two glee clubs, the University sym- phony orchestra, and Play Produc- tion are all co-operating, should answer this need, Professor Earl V. Moore, director of the School of Music and musical director of the, University, said in an interview yesterday. The phrase that has been used a good deal recently which implies that Mimes in putting on "Robin Hood" has gone "worthwhile" is not to be taken too seriously and should not scare anyone away, Professor UMVERSIIY PLANS 1GEH pffglt German Department Max Montor to Give ngs on Mar. 9. Obtains Read- Practically every university in the country, along with the indepen- dent German societies, are spon- soring programs this month in honor of the centenary of the death of Goethe, greatest of the derman poets. Columbia university gave a radio program yesterday, and the University of Wisconsin is making definite plans to present a program over'the air. The German department of the University here is also planning some rather extensive activity, but as yet plans have not been an- nounced. The arrival of Max Montor on March 9 will be part of the Uni- versity's program. Montor's read- ings will be opportune, since they will consist of portions from Faust. Montor is prominent among uni- versity audiences. Professor Albert Bernhard Faust of Cornell univer- sity said of him: "He impersonates and creates the characters before your eyes whether they are passion- ate or gentle, virtuous or vicious,! heroic or humble."I Moore stated. While Robin Hood is undoubtedly one of the most amus- ing, and contains some of the most infectious tunes of any of the famous light operas, the implica- tion that it is in the least "high brow" or borders on grand opera, is over-stating the case, he said. As an extra curricular activity for the students of the University as a whole and of the School of Music in particular, the production of a light opera is certainly an ex- cellent endeavor in the opinion of Professor Moore There is a great d(Zl of musical Ilent attracted to the Music School which in the ordinary run of recitals and con- certs is hot brought before the Ann Arbor theatre going public. An opera such as "Robin Hood," how- ever, gives the vocally gifted stu- dents in music an opportunity to perform on the lyric stage before a large audience, and gives the pub- lic a chance to hear singers and instrumentalists thoroughly pro- fessional in attainment if not in actuality, he indicated. The number of present day con-t cert stars who have graduated from1 here is ample testimony to the factt that the University Music attracts1 the best there is in innate musical talent, and it is partly the uncover- ing of such material in the course of a light operatic production which recommends Robin Hood, it was brought out. TES 46 Inugtries Concerning Hop.c wood Contests Submitted to Prof. Weaver. Definite proof of the growth of the fame of the Avery and Julie3 Hopwood prizes was revealed yes- terday by Prof. Bennett -Weaver in a compilation of the inquiries re- eeived concerning the awards. In all, 46 inquiries have been received from 20 states. Excluding letters sent out to members of other faculties, notes have been received in response to I radio talks, notices in newspapers, I and in the Saturday Review of Lit-.~ ierature, and to an article by Wil 1 im Ryan Phelps in Scribnersl magazine.- . It is of particular note that a I much larger percentage of the total inquiries than was normally expect- ed was received from eastern state, particularly New York and Penn- sylvania, P-rofessor Weaver said. Green Demands Short Hors for Laborers! WASHIN TON, Feb. 29-(P) - A new demand for shorter working' yours, as "the only fundamental Solution of unemployment" was made today by William Green, president of the American Federa- tion of Labor. "At present," he said, "our con- servative estimate shows that ther'e aatually is no more than 35 hours of work a week for each wage earn- er if all who want work are to have jobs. From now on we must look ahead to a long period of high un- employment unless hours of work are adjusted." Associated Press Photo Gen. Vassily Bluecher, comman- der of the Soviet's far eastern army, told government leaders that he is prepared to defend" the Siberian frontier against any action by White Russians or foreign powers. WOMANTTACKED Naval Wife Bound and Assaulted by Man Supposedly a Japanese. HONOLULU, Feb. 29--(/P)-Tense excitement which gripped Honolulu in recent months because of attacks upon women and an attEndant lynching was revived Monday by an assault upon the wife of an enlisted man of the United States navy. The victim, Mrs. Kathleen Hope, wig of John I. Hope, machinist on the submarine 523 now en route to San Diego, Calif., was the second naval wife assaulted here in recent months. Her attacker, who he thought was a Japanese, ontered her home with a pistol Saturday night. bound her to a bed with stockings, gagged her, assaulted her and then calmly helped himself to cgr on a tUabl!e. Before he left her threatened to return and "get her" if she reported the crime to police. Mrs. Hope caught but a single glinip.:e of .er assailaht's face when his mask slipped off. He also terrorized Mrs. D. W. Curry, wife of another elristednaii on submarine duty, in an adjoining home. Neither of the women had a telephone. The attack on Mrs. Hope came scarcely 10 days before the sched-. uled trial of Lieutenant Massie, Mrs. Ganville Fortescue, mother of Mrs. Massie, and two naval enlisted men accused of the second degree mur- der of Joseph Kahahawai, young I Hawaiian and suspected attacker of Mrs. Massie. V __. ___®._®_.. ROBERT ANGELL WAS PA TRON SAINT OFEDUCA TION, DEAN WHITNEY SAYS "President Robert Angell was the patron saint of education schools." That is the unquestionable opin- ion of Dean Emeritus Allen S. Whit-' ney of the education school. He made the statement in an interview yes'terday, in the course of which he pointed out that under the late President Angell's influence the first permanent chair of education in any American college was estab- lished under the professorship of William -Harold Payne. Dr. Whitney was commenting on his recent work, "History of the Professional Training of Teachers at the University of Michigan for the First Half-Century." He speaks and writes from personal exper- ience; he was a freshman at Mich- igan in 1879, the year of the depart- ment's establishment; and he was a member of the faculty for the 381 years preceding his retirement. Dr. Whitney was first put in charge of the department in 1907. He had, however, unofficially held the post for the preceding five years, because of the failing health of the incumbent, Prof. purke A. Hinsdale. SALE SPRING SUITS All shades $20.00 ORDER NOW FOR EASTER C. DOUKAS 1319 South University He had come into the department in 109 with the title of junior pro- fessor of the science and art of teaching and inspector of high schools; with his advent the de- Ipartment's personnel increased to1 two. In 1921 the department, aftr a long struggle with the literary school toward that end, was elevat- ed to the status of a full school. with Dr. Whitney as acting dean; two years later he became the fli-st dean of the School of Education at the University. , The early phases of the depart- ment's existence are recalled with a good deal of humor by the dean emeritus. Professor Payne, who shares the dedication of the book with President Angell and Profes- sor Hinsdale, had been notified of his new appointment. .od EXPERIENCED RADIO SERVICE (AlMakes) Lowest Rates Phone 3694 m The Glee Clubs of Ann Arbor Senior High School and The University Public School Music Training Classes PRESENT r THE LITTLE TYCOON I & WEDEMEYER'S 221 East Liberty St-eet at_ The Lydia Mendelssohn Theater ,Reserved tickets now on sale at the box office 12-1 P. 1., 3-7 P.
