Bennett, chairman of the executive committee, announced yesterday. Int Response To Demands The cou'ses are being given in re- sponse to an increasing demand and interest in recent years, Professor Bennett said. The first, Decorative Design 35, given by Prof. Walter J. Gores, of the College of Architectue, was first started about three years ago. At that time it had 12 students, but last year had grown to around 40. The course gives a study of the historical and contemporary periods of interior decoration and furniture conditions influencing the develop- ment of style during various periods, and also the principles of design as related to the problem of interior decoration and furnishing. Students interested in house planning and in- terior decoration in a general, and not technical, way are the ones for whom the course is planned, accord- ing to Professor Bennett. The course is mainly a lecture course and will be held in the Ar- chitecture Building at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday and Thursday. There are no drawing requirements, and though it is preferred that students have had either Fine Ars 101 or the History of Architecture, this is not necessary. Housing Course Offered The second course is Architecture 11, Domestic Architecture and Hous- ing, to be given by Professor Bennett. This is being offered in response to a general interest in domestic archi- tecture, its history and development. Last year was the first year it was given. It covers not only the single dwelling, but also the whole housing problem, large scale housing with its social, economic ,and polictial back- ground. This is also a two-hour lec- ture course, meeting at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday. There are no prerequisites, but the course is only open to students of junior stand- ing or above, except by special per- mission. Students interested in eco- nomics, engineering, landscape de- sign, sociology, and architecture will be the most interested, Professor Ben- nett said. Besides these two courses, several regular courses in free-hand drawing will be given. These classes have been a regular part of the College of Architecture curriculum, but have had many elections from other col- leges. Registration and election of all of the courses is done in the separate colleges. Law Students Invited To. Bar Group Meeting An invitation to University law stu- dents to attend the first annual De- troit Bar Institute Jan. 21, and 22 at the Detroit Leland Hotel vfas issued yesterday by Frederick C. Nash of the Junior Section of the Detroit Bar Association. The institute will consist of a series of three lectures and a banquet. Aus- tin Wakeman Scott, story professor of law at Harvard University, will deliver the lectures on the recent de- velopments in the laws of wills and trusts, Mr. Nash said.

Numerous risings and bloodshed, "although deplorable," he said, have always, in recent years, followed in the wake of a major depression. "We may always have five or six millions out of work," he continued, "because their unemployment will be due to such things as old age; lack of train- ing; ill health; and on the part of some, an indisposition to work, rather than to technological advances." War Causes Short Booms As far as a general war helping industrial conditions in this country Professor White stated that wars make for only short-time booms and that no war ever helped any industry over a long-time period and that our present industrial and social chaos is to a great degree the result of World War. "Recovery will come especially in the heavy industries, the building trades, and transportation. It has already taken place in the automobile and chemical fields," Professor White added. "We have been through five years of depression in which time we have to a considerable degree been living on the accumulations of the past," Professor White declared. "During this period there have been many new developments enabling the attain- ment of improvements in living that five years ago were not within the purchasing power of many people," he continued. Many New Developments "These developments have occurred n the automobile field, the chemical field, the mechanical equipment field and in such lines as refrigeration, air conditioning and in the improved heating of residences, consequently a great development can be expected Professor White added.

V IE i i (Continued from Page 4) Overture, written along with the rest of the opera in 1845, comprised three sections, the first and last of which were based upon the triumphal hymn of the home-coming pilgrims in the final act, and the middle one upon r the Venusberg music of the first act. In preparing the work for its Paris 1production Wagner gave ample evi- dence of the maturation which his genius had undergone during the intervening decade and a half; he did away with the conventionally trilliant finish of the Overture and led directly from the second section into the first scene of the opera, expanding and intensifying the Ven- usberg music from a comparatively tame suggestion of revelry into a wildly voluptuous and frenzied orgy of sound. (c.) Sikgfried's Death Music fram "The Twilight of the Gads." This music is heard in the second scene of the last act of the fourth and final work of that epic cycle known as "The Ring of the Nibelungs." Ha- gen, son of the dwarf, Alberich, in order to obtain possesion of the magic ring, treacherously slays Siegfried. Desk falls as the vassals silently raise the hero's body and bear it on his shield across the distant hills. In this death-music, the various scenes of Siegfried's life are passed in review. It is, so to speak ','a funeral oration without words." (d.) "Ride of the Valkyrie" from "The Valkyries." Wagner never wrote a more frankly descriptive piece of music than this bit which opens the third act of Die Walkuere. The scene is a rocky mountain top, over which clouds are driven by the storm-wind. Occasional flashes of lightning re- veal other peaks in the far distance, half hidden by the mists. The Val- kyries-daughters of Wotan by Erde -race over the rocks on their steeds, carrying back to Valhalla the dead bodies of heroes who have fallen I A nose for news can be cultivated and grown, Prof. John L. Brumm, head of the journalism department,' declared in an interview yesterday. He stated that reporters are made, net born. "More and more people are enter- ing or planning to enter the field of joarnalism as their life's vocation," Professor Brumm said. He showed that 90 per cent of his department's giriduates of last year were placed, some getting assistant managing ed- itor's positions. It was shown that very few papers failed during the depression. Fewer journalism grad- uates are having to take publicity director jobs as new papers are be- ing formed and some of the better -aid writers die-the reportorial 1 anks must be filled, Professor Brumm continued. Ability Not Required Mere writing ability is not the most important requirement for a would- be newspaper man. Professor Brumm declared that that was the least re- quirement. He listed bounding health as the first need: the irregular hours, exacting duties and stress must not wear off the reporter's ability to be good-humored and meet people. Next, a broad, liberal education is needed for a good background. Professor Brumm declared that the modern, I complex life requires that reporters be specialists and be able to interpret complicated ideas and mechanisms so that the average person can be made to understand them. Reporters Are Trained "In our department," Professor Brumm stated, "a live, intelligent and critical interest in public affairs and a determination to set things to rights is fostered. The cleaning up of politics and reforming of business policies are shown to furnish good chances for reform. Many reporters who have had years of experience do- ing reporting are unable to write edi- torials about these issues. A college man, on the other hand, is trained in these fields and thus can write edi- torials." The fact that colleges can train reporters, according to Professor Brumm, has been clearly shown through the college-trained reporter's successes in recent years. He is find- ing it easier all the time to get a job. The newspaper men also now have a Guild which is an aid-mak- ing summary dismissal more difficult, he stated. The ability of women to make good newspapermen was not supported by Professor Brumm. "In most cases," he stated, "they cannot forget that they are women. They act just like prima donnas." -Associated Press Photo A machlme gun unit of the 126th Infantry, Michigan National Guards, was dispatched to Flint, Mich., to be held in readiness for any r:cssible disturbance in the automotive strike directed against the Gen- j eral Motors Corporation. Approximately 2,000 guardsmen of a state- wide mobilization have been concentrated in Flint.
