Notification of the award, which was approved April 11, was made public by University authori- ties yesterday. The appropriation is divided as follows: $25,000 for research in arch- eology, $15,000 for research in psy- chiatry, $8,800 for aid in developing spectroscopy as applied to medicine, and $5,000 for inquiry in the physiol- ogy of respiration. Will Continue Work The money given for the studies in the humanities will be used for a continuation of the work done by the Institute of Archeological Research, composed of faculty members, which has published about 10 volumes deal- ing with archeological and human- istic subjects, working on funds sup- plied by the General Education Board, an affiliated Rockefeller organization. The work was started under the late Prof. Francis W. Kelsey shortly after the World War and has included publication of a description of Uni- versity Egyptian excavations, Dr. Le- Roy Waterman's works on the cor- respondence of the Assyrian kings, and the University's collection of pap- yrus manuscripts. The award of $15,000 for the de- velopment of teaching research in psychiatry will be administered by Prof. Albert M. Barrett, head of the psychiatry department in the Medi- cal School and director of the State Psychopathic Hospital here. To Use Fund Jointly The application of spectroscopic methods of rapid analysis to medi- cine and to biology received a fund of $8,800, which will be used jointly by the department of internal medi- cine in the Medical School and the physics department in the literary college. Prof. Ora S. Duffendack of the physics department, Prof. Lewis H. Newburgh of the Medical School, and Dr. Frank H. Wiley of the Medi- cal School will be in charge of the work. The $5,000 grant for research in the physiology of respiration will aid Prof. Robert Gesell, head of the phy- siology department in the Medical School, to continue his studies along that line in which he has been en- gaged for a number of years. President Alexander G. Ruthven, has already given the University's thanks to the Foundation for the appropriation, which will undoubted- ly be accepted by the Board of Re- gents at their meeting next week. Stock Exchnge Bill Again Brought Out WASHINGTON, April 19-(JP)- White House conferences and com- mittee meetings on Capitol Hill edged the congressional program ahead to- day and pushed the Stock Exchange control bill again into the foreground.

Mortality Rate For Fraternity Pledges High Report Shows Sororities Also Suffer By Losing Many Freshmen Only 58.6 per cent of the freshmen pledged to fraternities and sororities last September have been initiated, it was disclosed yesterday in a report compiled by the office of the dean of students. The sororities did slightly better than the fraternities in initiating pledges, the report showed. Of the 374 men of the class of 1937 who were taken into fraternities in September, 213, or 56.9 per cent, are at present active members. Sororities took in 181 freshmen and initiated 112 for a rating of 61.9 per cent. The figures were compiled from reports which the houses themselves filled out on two different occasions, once last fall and once shortly before Spring Vacation. In commenting upon the results of the compilation, Prof. Phillip E. Burs- ley, counselor to new students, said that he had made no effort tn deter- Sororities Must Chia ige Ideas, Says Aliee Lloyl De.auvaf-Women Speaks Tfo Group At The University Of West Virginia By MARGARET D. PHALAN Sororities must create new pur- poses for themselves and become more significant in the intellectual life of the college community, Dean Alice C. Lloyd told undergraduate sorority women and alumni at the University of "West Virginia, wvhere she was guest speaker at conference discussions of sorority problems on Tuesday and Wednesday. "The sorority must be less exclu- sively social," Miss Lloyd declared Tuesday night at a formal reception at which every sorority woman in Morgantown, W. Va., was a guest. Her topic was "The Position of So- rorities in Present-Day Education." "Sororities are more or less forced by present educational trends to change their purpose from being merely social clubhouses to being something more significanthe i mthe actual intellectual life of the cam- pus," Miss Lloyd said yesterday, re- iterating some of her statements made at the West Virginia confer- ence. "The general trend all over the country toward increasing hous- ing in dormitories has taken away one of the most valuable services of the sororities, the purpose which mo- tivated them in the beginning, and they must make new places for them- selves." Miss Lloyd, who is chairman of the committee on sorority study for the Association of Deans of Women, was invited by Miss Margaret Wilburn, prominent sorority woman on the West Virginia campus, to visit Mor- gantown and lead alumnae and un- dergraduate sorority women and house mothers in discussions of so- rority problems. The invitation was extended at the time of the annual national deans' conference held in February in Cleveland, at which Miss (Continued on Page 5) Anderson Honor Guest At Testimonial Banquet Prof. Henry C. Anderson, recently appointed director of student and alumni relations, was the guest of honor at a testimonial dinner given him last night by the board of di- rectors of the Union for his service as a member of that body.

If Health Service of- ficials were to diagnose it they might say: "Sally Randitis," but the lady herself would probably call it just curiosity. That's one of the things Sally did, say after her performance with the football chorus of the Union Opera at the Michigan Theatre. She explained that a large part of the people who, come to see her dance are merely curious (maybe wondering if one of her famous fans will slip.) It was a revelation, and a testi-{ monial to Sally's personality, when{ she came in the theatre two hours later for the appointment. The chorus "girls" had begun to grumble at the long wait, but one flashing smile from her won the whole group over imme- diately. In rapid time the embryonic troup- ers went through a number of skits for the Paramount News camermen, with Miss Rand acting as teacher. She encountered her greatest trouble with John Kowalik, Jack Heston, Wil- lard Hildebrand, and Stanley Fay - all four of them repeatedly getting their second fans around "too slowly" in changing. She pointed out that the change must consist of "taking one fan away, but not too fast, and putting the other in its place, but not too slowly." She was laughing all the while the (Continued on Page 2) Miehi oanensi1an TIo Go O Sale EarlyIn May The 1934 Michiganensian will be published and appear for general campus sale sometime during the first week in May, the exact date to be announced later, according to Arend Vyn, Jr., '34, business manager.

Celebrated Artists To Present Beethoven's 'Ninth Symphony' Among the outstanding features to be presented in the varied program of the May Festival, May 9, 10, 11, and 12, is the performance of Beethoven's famed "Ninth Symphony" to be given Saturday afternoon by such re- nowned stars as Jeanette Vreeland, soprano; Coe Glade, contralto; Ar- thur Hackett, tenor; and Theodore Webb, baritone. In addition, the Choral Union and the Chicago Sym- phony Orchestra, under Dr. Frederick Stock, will also be heard. The history of the "Ninth Sym- nhnnv" is nne of the most interesting fell into the active volcano of Bee- thoven's unconsciousness, fusions, seethings, and eruptions began to take place, out of which came the fin- ished "Ninth Symphony." Like many great works of its type, the "Ninth" has its inception in suf- fering. This characteristic is traced to those years of the deaf, lonely, pov- erty-stricken composer in which he was surrounded by indifferent and dishonest friends and unfeeling rela- tives. But the "Ninth" shows the heroic spirits of a great man match- ing his misfortunes.
