Varisly Men's Glee Club Gains Ilillel Initiates
New Hearers Via Radio, Tours Annual Drive
4>
Eastern Trip, Concerts,
Broadcasts Are Planned
For Club This Year
By ROBERT S. WEEKS I
Considered the oldest campus or-
ganization in Ann Arbor, the Var-
sity Men's Glee Club has had an il-
lustrious past and with the aid of
radio and electrical transcriptions as
well as extensive tours each year is
augmenting its already large group
of listeners.
A trip through the East in addi-
tion to a series of broadcasts and
the usual local concerts is being
planned for this year's club by Prof.
David Mattern, conductor. Besides
serving as the conductor of the Var-
sity Glee Club, which usually num-
bers around 100 voices, Professor
Mattern indulges a paternal interest
in the Freshman Glee Club, which
is one of the few activities freshmen
ire permitted to take up in their
first semester of residence in Ann
Arbor.
The Freshman Glee Club is also
made up of about 100 voices and is
managed not unlike the Varsity, hav-
ing a student conductor. It meets
regularly in the Varsity Glee Club
rooms in the Union, according to Pro-
fessor Mattern, every Wednesday,
4:30 to 5:30 p.m. and rehearses the
of the engineering research depart-
ment; J. H. Hunt of the General
Motors Corporation; R. A. Hayward,
of the Kalamazoo Vegetable Parch-
ment Co.; and Alex Dow, president
of the Detroit Edison Co.
same programs as the Varsity Club.
Freshmen are urged to take advan-
tage of this opportunity to enter into
an activity which will make them
eligible for membership in the Var-
sity Club at the beginning of the
second semester, Professor Mattern
said.
Tryouts for the Freshman Glee
Club will be held Oct. 30, according
to Professor Mattern, and the first
regular rehearsal, followed by compe-
tition for old and new members for
this year's club, will be held at 7:30
p.m., Oct. 1 in the Glee Club rooms
in the Union.

that now "Spain would quickly be
freed."
The main body of Gen. Franco's
troops was pouring into Toledo to-
night and it was planned to complete
Fascist occupation of the city before
morning.
Harried government militiamen
fled in all directions-those who took
the road to Madrid methodically
blocked off by Fascist detachments
stationed along the road.
While Fascist elements in Toledo's
populace danced in the streets which
a few hours before had been the
scenes of death and destruction, the
Fascist leaders in conferences laid
their plans for a concerted Madrid
assault.
The strategy '°was to draw the
picked legions of Gen. Franco tightly
aroupd the southwestern approaches
to Madrid, while Gen. Emilio Mola,
the conqueror of Irun and San Se-
bastian, put on pressure from the
north.
Fascist leaders tonight only smiled
deprecatingly when asked what re-
sistance they expected the govern-
ment would be able to hurl against
their Madrid advance.
With raised palms they pointed
out that their disciplined fighting
men had swept through the streets
of Toledo Sunday night just one half
an hour after they had been given
the command to advance.
In disarray the motley government
militiamen broke and fled before the
precision of the insurgent attack.
Some of the erstwhile defenders ran
back across the Tagus river, to the
south, while others fled toward the
Fascist units waiting with rifles along
the Madrid highway.
Civilian residents fled with the
government militiamen, scattering
over fields and country lanes, leav-
ing their household belongings be-
hind.

For Members
Dr. Heller Will Continue
To Be Director; Kasle
Heads Council
The Hillel Foundation will inaug-
urate its annual membership drive
with a meeting of the presidents of
the local Jewish fraternity and sor-
ority houses at 4 p.m. this afternoon.
The Foundation is one of the 32
chapters sponsored by the B'nai
B'rith on the campuses of American
universities.
The religious aspects of the Foun-
dation will be conducted by Dr. Ber-
nard Heller, Hillel director, while so-
cial events, athletics, dramatics, de-
bating, and the bringing of noted
speakers to the campus will be taken
care of by the student council led;
by S. Leonard Kasle, '38.
Beginning this year the Hillel will
confer the title of Ben Torah or
Bas Torah upon those students who,
have fulfilled the requirement of a
specified number of courses of study
lectures and seminars, and have par-
ticipated in a designated number of
religious, cultural and social projects
of the Foundation. The award will
be made by the Educational Council
of the Foundation consisting of the
director, a committee of faculty ad-
visors and a student representative.
This year lectures will be given by
eminent speakers, social workers and
jurists, Kasle announced. A series of
open forums led by University pro-
fessors will be held on the Sunday
evenings not given over to debating,
dramatic or social programs.
In order to aid the student in se-
lecting a life's occupation, a commit-
tee of professors from various fields
has been appointed to discuss with
students seeking guidance their indi-
vidual aptitudes for certain work.
The dramatics organization, the
Hillel Players, which has produced
many plays in past years including
"The Dybuk," and "The Unfinished
Picture," is organizing its staff of
actors, actresses, directors, techni-
cians, cosmeticians and costume de-
signers, for the coming year.

egon and sections of northern Cali-
fornia literally hundreds of fires
broke out, caused principally in the
opinion of Associate U. S. Forester F.
H. Brundage, Portland, by burning
of slashings-debris left from timber
operations.
Among the sections menaced were
some of the greatest timber treasures
in the world-the irreplacable red-
woods of northern California, which
were old when Christ was born. For-
esters pointed out, however, that
these huge trees do not burn readily
and the fires still were some distance
from any redwood groves.
The central Oregon coastal region
about Yachats, where auto camps
and several other buildings were de-
stroyed, and the northern California
region looked anxiously at weather
reports but it was this seacoast sec-
tion which faced all the perils of for-
est fires, traveling seven or eight
miles an hour.
In Bandon between 350 and 400
buildings lay in ruins, skeletons of
partially collapsed walls sticking
grotesquely above the mass of black-
ened brick, wood and steel. Through
the debris, CCC enrollees and Federal
and state officials picked their way,
looking for bodies.
Capt. Lee Bowen of the state police,
said nine had been recovered and
that six more probably lay beneath
the ruins. All that was left of the
town was a bakery, three mills, a
lumber yard, about 20 houses and
the high school.
