Photographs Of Musical Stars
Decorate Walls Of Sink's Office

By ROBERT B. HEWETT
Enrico Caruso, Paderewski, Rach-
maninoff, Chaliapin, Koussevitsky,
Rosa Ponselle, Galli-Curci, Walter
Damrosch and nearly all the world-
famous musical personalities of the
past 15 years, are represented by
autographed portraits that literally
cover the office walls of Dr. Charles
A. Sink, president of the School of
Music.
During the years since the war this
dynamic man, who has devoted his
life to music and served 10 years in
the State Legislature as an "avoca-
tion," has collected more than 150
autographed photographs of promi-
nent musicians who have appeared
largely through his efforts, before,
Ann Arbor audiences.
Photographs of former state gov-
ernors also decorate one section of
the wall.
Chase S. Osborn, colorful political

figure and one-time governor, has
written in one corner of the picture,
"To my distinguished friend of many
facets-all true." Similar personal
expressions appear on portraits of
Alex Groesbeck, Fred Green, Wilbur
Brucker, and Albert Sleeper.
University presidents who have
been at Michigan during President
Sink's connection with the School of
Music are represented by pictures of
Presidents Hutchins, Burton, Little,
and Ruthven. Pictures of other men
outstanding in the University and
School of Music are also present.
Although President Sink has be-
come acquainted with many operatic
and concert stars in connection with
Choral Union concerts and May Fes-
tivals, he declares that not. once has
he encountered any display of the
temperament that is usually asso-
ciated with them.

German Actor
To Give Recital

Here April

Max Montor, German actor, will
give an all-German recital of parts
of Lessing's drama, "Nathan der
Weise," in Lydia Mendelssohn Thea-
tre at 4:15 p. m., April 5.
Mr. Montor, who is traveling under
the auspices of the Carl Schurz Mem-
orial Foundation, is internationally
known for his unusual interpreta-
tions of drama and poetry. He was
born in Vienna and studied there at
the Imperial Conservatory of Dra-
matic Art. He made his debut in
Zurich as Mephistopheles in "Faust."
He appeared in Ann Arbor last
year in connection with the Goethe
celebration, and recording to Prof.
W. A. Reichart of the German de-
partment proved to be a popular en-
tertainer. "Such a recital gives stu-
dents an opportunity to hear excel-
lent German as it is spoken on the
stage," Professor Reichart stated.
The general public is invited, said
Professor Reichart and admission is
free.
DEATH FROM HEART ATTACK
Coroner Edwin C. Ganzhorn re-
ported yesterday that the death of
Miss Mable Boggs, 48, Chelsea, was
caused by acute dilation of the heart
and exhaustion. An autopsy was per-
formed Thursday night. Miss Boggs
was suffering from a mental disorder,
according to Sheriff Jacob B. Andres.

To date, 117 faculty members of
';he University and other Michigan,
colleges, each an authority in his
particular field have agreed to co-

Bach, Long.Dead,
Is One Of Tivest'
Composers Today
Bach is one of the "livest" com-
posers today, in spite his being deadt
since the middle of the Eighteenth
Century,. Palmer Christian, univer-
sity organist, declared yesterday inE
commenting on his Bach recital to
be held at 4:15 p. m. Sunday.
"This is the first 'Bach recital I
have given here," Mr. Christian said,.
"but I have been considering it fort
some time. In my Wednesday after-
noon recitals I try to vary thepro-
gram so as to please as many tastes
as possible."
Bach is regarded by Mr. Christian1
as one of the outstanding composers1
and as a melodist of the first order.N
There is a sentimental attachment
as well, for he studied the organ at
Thomaskirche in Leipsig. Bach was
once cantor of the church school
there and since that time special
training is given in Bach's works.

Broadcasting
Service Heard
Through Nation
University Counts Radio
Fans From California,
Maine Among Audience
Radios in California and Maine
were tuned to programs of the Uni-
versity Broadcasting Service during
the past season, and listeners in 35
states other than Michigan, and in
three Canadian provinces other than
Ontario were sufficiently interested to
write for copies of individual
speeches or of the general bulletin.
In all sections of the country, 2,500
persons will receive the bulletin this
year, according to iists in the office
of Prof. Waldo M. Abbot, director of
broadcasting. An additional 200
copies will be sent to University li-
braries and 284 will go to high
schools in Michigan, he said.
Although concentrated heavily in
Michigan, the invisible audience of
the broadcasting service stretches out
in all directions. Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania rank next to Michigan in vol-
ume of response; Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota form an-
other stronghold.
From New England to Virginia,
through the South from Georgia to
Texas, as far west as Oregon, Idaho,
Alberta, Montana, Wyoming, and
California, the service counts its lis-
teners. Only a few scattered and dis-
tant areas are not included in the
sweep: New Hampshire and Vermont,
Delaware and the Carolinas, Florida,
the Southwest, Wyoming and Wash-
ington.
The date' of publication of this
year's bulletin, the eighth to be is-
sued, has not been definitely set,
Professor Abbot said. The book will
be somewhat smaller than usual but
will contain 35 talks, given during the
season by faculty members repre-
senting every school of the Univer-
sity,
The list of requests for bulletins
does not include those who wrote for
lesson books in the playing of band
and string instruments and in sing-
ing, of which 15,000 were sent out
this year, Professor Abbot said.
Prof. Aiton . Is Attending
Social Science Meeting
Prof. A. S. Aiton of the history
department left Thursday for New
York to attend a meeting of the So-
cial Science Research Council. He
will be present in an advisory capa-
city, at a two-day' dimcussion of a
committee which will+ attempt to
work o'Qt a program of research in
international problems.

eral interest are published In the
columns of The Daily.. The Inquiring
Reporter would appreciate the contrib-

rhe Michigan Daily.)
THE QUESTION: What do you
think of the proposed cut in the Uni-
versity appropriation?
THE PLACE: Along Main Street.
THE ANSWERS: D. J. Baggett,
Ann Arbor, clerk: "I believe economy
is necessary under the present condi-
tions, but the question is where is it
advisable to cut expenditures. Cer-
tainly, the University appropriation
shouldn't be cut 50 per cent."
Robert Plumb, Ann Arbor, car-
penter: "The proposed cut would
hurt the University and the city also.
With a reduced allowance, a smaller
staff and higher tuition, there will
be fewer students and less business
in the city."
Jack Horowitch, '34L, Frankfort:
"Such a cut as the proposed one
would hurt quite a bit. Economy
should be practiced in all State insti-
tutions, but the University shouldn't
be compelled to Cary the bulk of
the skimping. A 50 per cent reduction
in appropriations would prove detri-
mental to the finest enterprise in
Michigan."
Colonel Gillespie, Ann Arbor,
teacher: "Forced frugality would
hurt the University, and anything
that would hurt the University would
hurt the city."
W. H. Bolgos, Ann Arbor, dairy
owner: "The whole nation has to
economize, why should the University
of Michigan escape a cut? Yet why
overdo it? A 50 per cent cut would
kill the school. Maybe a 35 per cent
or 40 per cent reduction-yes, but a
50 per cent-that's foolish."
