THE MICHIGAN DAILY Freshmen Hear Weaver Speak On Personality Third Orientation Lecture Presented Yesterday At League Theatre Hatfield Presides How To Study Are Planned Year Students Lectures For First More than 150 freshman women and their advisers filled the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre at 5 p.m. yes- terday to hear Prof. Bennett Weaver, of the English department, give the third in the series of orientation lec- tures. Professor Weaver's subject was "Personality, Toccata and Cul- tured." Professor Weaver explained his choice of a topic as one nearest the heart of every woman. "We are all in the process of choosing between two different personalities," he said. The toccata personality, the subject of one of Browning's poems, he de- fined as extremely light, evanescent and soulless. "A social order built upon the toccata type passes intol nothingness," he said. Describes Cultured Personality The alternative kind of personality is the cultured type. One of the most important requirements for this is serenity, Professor Weaver empha- sized. "The rushing system," he said, "brings 'collegiate dizziness'," and he urged the freshman women to4 build serenity into their personalities. The next requisite is largeness of spirit. Professor Weaver warned the first year women not to become over-anxious about the merits of an individual sorority over others as. they must practice largeness of spirit if they are to be poised and charming. Stresses Faith And Beauty The third requirement of a cul- tured personality, he said, was faith in the beauty and good of life. "Your generation," he stated, "has got to put up a battle for that faith." The characteristic of faith, in Professor Weaver's opinion, is peculiar to the personality of woman. "Woman has always . carried the burden of faith and beauty. It is her nature as well as her duty and obligation,"he said. Professor Weaver concluded his lecture by stating that the urge to move toward beauty is universal and, by encouraging his audience to trust that instinct. "Within your heart lies your, destiny," he said. Jean Hatfield, '37, chairman of or-, ieritation, introduced the speaker, Music Will Swing As Ragtime King Leads Band Friday The strains of "Song of the Islands," theme song of Ben Pollack and his orchestra will swing out promptly at 9 p.m. tomorrow in the Union Ballroom when the Beta Theta Pi fraternity sponsors the first for- mal dance of the season. Ben, commonly referred to by news writers as the "Dean of Sophisticated Swing," will bring with him a versa- tile band which will offer as enter- tainment a combination of swing music, "sweet" rhythm and novelty numbers. This band leader started his career in the Friar's Society Orchestra which gained early fame as the New Orleans Rhythm Kings and in which' he was the ragtime "shimmy" drum- mer of the early twenties. This orchestra included Leon Ra-; polo,rone of the greatest clarinet players of this period and Steve, Brown who was the first to introduce that type of playing called "slapping the fiddle." " In 1926 he introduced his original swing orchestra at the Southmoor Hotel in Chicago and made the first recording of this type of music. His' theme song was brought to America from Honolulu by a native Hawaiian orchestra and was introduced by Pol- lack in 1923. Ben believes that this song has brought him more recogni- tion than any number his band has introduced.
