M. Handel's oratorio, "The Messiah," will be presented by the University of Michigan Choral Union, assisted by Arthur Hackett, Mrs. Thelma von Eisenhauer, Miss Helen McClaflin, and Carl Lindegren, soloists, at 3:30 p. m. next Sunday in Hill auditori- um. Because of the fact that the en- tire parts I and II will be given, the hour has been advanced from the usual time, 4:15 p. in., in order that the program may close at the usual time. The May Festival stage has been erected in the auditorium, in order to accommodate the chorus of 300 who will present the work. { Moore Will Direct The performance will be directed by Dr. Earl V. Moore, musical direc- tor of the School of Music, and the University S y m p h o n y Orchestra, numbering nearly 100 players, will accompany the chorus. The soloists, all of whom are or have been associated with the School of Music, are distinguished in their fields. Mrs. Thelma von Eisenhauer, Detroit soprano and a former stu- dent in the University, has won dis- tinction by reason of her many con- cert appearances where she became a well-known oratorio singer; Helen McClaflin, supervisor of music at Kent College, Kent, O., has studied under Arthur Hackett and has won the respect of audiences as a con- tralto of merit. Hackett To Sing Arthur Hackett, tenor and head of the voice department, has sung "The Messiah" throughout the United States under leading orchestras and conductors; and Carl Lindegren, pro- fessor of voice at Michigan State Teachers' College at Ypsilanti, is a former student in the School of Mu- sic. Later he continued his work i the East and for a number of years has been a voice teacher and a concert artist. The public is requested to come sufficiently early to be seated on time. The doors will be, opened at 3:00 p. m. Architecture Students Visit Toledo Tomorrow Thirty architectural and decorative design students tomorrow will make an all-day visit inspection of two To- ledo institutions under the direction of Prof. Walter W. J. Gores and Ross T. Bittinger of the College of Archi- tecture. The morning will be spent inspect- ing decorative and industrial glass and its manufacture at the plant of the, Libbey Glass Manufacturing Company. In the afternoon the par- ty will visit the Toledo Art Museum which has an unusually fine collec- tion of old glass, according to Prof. Emil Lorch, With the advent of cooler weather in the fall, there is a corresponding rise in the number of "colds" or re- spiratory infections, a report of the University Health Service states. The number continues variably throughout the winter, but with marked increases in October and March as shown by studies among University students from 1917 to the present. This common malady is a bane to both patient and physician. To the former it is especially trou- blesome because of its uncomfortable symptoms, its more serious compli- cation and the loss of time at one's occupation. To the doctor it is a constant problem because he has no armementarium which is specific for its treatment and prolonged cure. One cold confers no immunity. The cause of the common cold is not defi- nitely known. Recent bacteriological works present evidence to show that its cause may be a filterable virus, an organism which can not be de- tected with the aid of a microscope. Much time and money has been spent. on research concerning this ailment, but complete knowledge of its cause still evades the medical profession. Infection Important Infection, no doubt, plays an im- portant role in the production of colds, but its exact nature is still in doubt. There are several general pre- disposing causes which play a certain part in their production. The most important are: lowering of body re- sistance by lack of sufficient sleep end proper food, over-heated homes or living quarters, excessive fatigue, ex-I posure to drafts and reduction of body temperature by prolonged chill- ing. It is a known fact that outdoor workers have fewer colds than those who work indoors. Important local predisposing causes of respiratory infections are: abnor- mal conditions in the nose and throat such as deformities of nasal cavities and chronically diseased tonsils and adenoids. The correction of these abnormal conditions often decreases the susceptibility of the individual, the report continued. "One cannot overemphasize the importance of prompt and proper is often considered of minor impor- tance at the start and little or no ;are is given to it unless a serious complication ensues. We must re- member that it is often the predeces- sor of pneumonia and is responsible for the large percentage of sinus disease, middle ear and mastoid in- fections. Some of the more common of contagious diseases as measles, scarlet fever and diphtheria have anI onset similar to a common cold." Use Of 'Cure-Ails' Discouraged The local treatment of a cold should consist of the more simple drugs which give one relief from the uncomfortable symptoms and which are recommended by one's physician. The use of many cures and cure-alls as recommended by advertisements and friends should be discouraged, the report stated. Preventive measures are important in order to avoid respiratory infec- tions and to promote the individual's lessened susceptibility. It is impor- tant to obtain sufficient hours of regular sleep, proper food, to have clean hands 'at meals, to avoid over- heated rooms and undue exposure to cold. Some daily exercise out of doors should be obtained and proper dispo- sal of secretions of the nose and the throat is quite important. The im- portance o1 bed rest can not be over- emphasized. It is the most effec- tive treatment, but often the most impractical and inconvenient sug- gestion a physician can give to his patient. Prompt medical aid should be obtained if a complication arises or if the cold does not disappear in a short time, the report concluded.

THE TAVERN Cleanlines CA FETIERI A The rapid disappearance of care- less, care-free, spending and manage- ment of Greek-letter societies on American campuses has been revealed by a surveyconducted by the Na- tional Interfraternity Conference which is reported in full by George S. Lasher, '11, in the Dec. 9 issue of the Michigan Alumnus. The survey covered 1070 chapters of 49 national groups and represented 65 per cent of all fraternity membership in the Conference. Aware of the times, Lasher reports, undergraduate members of fraterni- ties on more than 100 campuses in the United States and Canada have carried out economies saving their groups from possible disaster and producing healthier organizations. Serious efforts to adjust the college fraternity to the problems of the de- pression have resulted in the elimina- tion of inefficiency and justifiable criticism of the present Greek-letter world, the survey point out. Eating Costs CCut The most drastic reductions in ex- penses were made in dining service. A decline in food costs enabled about 80 per cent of the chapters reporting to lower their board rates, some by more than 20 per cent. Ten per cent of the chapters cov- ered reported that they had reduced room rent more than 30 per cent, while over half had made some re- duction in this expense. Criticism directed toward so-called large and unnecessary expenditures for social events has been answered by replies that 95 per cent of the chapters have reduced the costs of their social activities. Only 49 re- ported that they had made no re- ductions in this line. More than 300 groups have reduced initiation fees and dues during the past four year. That the collection of accounts has proved no more difficult to the fra- ternities during the depression years is shown by the fact that the number of those chapters collecting 90 per cent of their outstanding debts has; increased since 1931. Other reductions in expenses have, been effected by co-operative buying, lowered rent, reduction of salaries to employees, restriction and elimination of scholarships, installation of pay! telephone stations, and reduction of chapter publications. Find New Income Individual chapters have found sev- eral new sources of income to offset the reductions of regular revenue. The most common methods have been by allowing alumni and non-members to room and board in the chapter house, by renting the house during the summer, by giving benefit social functions, and by leasing their table to outsiders. In concluding the survey, the mem- bers of the committee declared that they believe the study had indicated a spirit of loyalty and a readiness on the part of the undergraduates to make sacrifices to maintain their fra- ternities. It was pointed out that the abolition of many activities close to college life had enabled fraternities to maintain comfortable rooming and: boarding conditions and the retention of forces working for the good of the Greek-letter groups.
