To Cooperate Here
Students and members of the fac-
ulty will cooperate with the Univer-
sity to continue pioneering activity in
educational broadcasting with a series
of nine weekly programs over WJR,
Detroit, Prof. Waldo M. Abbot, direc-
tor of the University's broadcasting
service announced yesterday.
A new program treating the tech-
niques of amateur theatrics will bring
together the stuents and professors
of the English, speech and radio de-
partments and the School of Music.
Two of last year's features have
so large a following that they will
be continued throughout this year.
They are the Class in Elementary
Singing conducted by Prof. Joseph E.
Maddy of the School of Music, and
the Class in Pronunciation Diction
of Prof. Gail E. Densmore of the
speech department.
Under an alternating arrangement,
listeners will hear the University Band
and Glee Club every fourth Saturday
during the school year. The Satur-
day broadcasts will begin with a fac-
ulty series on dentistry to be followed
by one on hygiene and public health.
A special layman series will be
given on Sunday afternoons begin-
ning with psychology, continuing
with sociology and ending with edu-
cation. These broadcasts will be in
the form of round table discussions
and lectures.
Prof. Louis M. Eich of the speech
department will conduct the class in
unison reading which will share Sun-
days with the class in hymn singing.
Current affairs will be the subject
of the World Today program with
professors £,om the various depart-
ments of the University lecturing on
their specialties. '
Other broadcasts include a series on
Forestry and land utilization and con-
certs played on the Carillon by Wil-
mot F. Pratt every fourth Sunday
morning.
Additional programs, still un-
planned, will be presented , by stu-
dents. They will be dramatizations of
short stories, reviews of current non-
fiction books and original radio plays.

Next winter's edition of the Choral
Union concert season, a feature of
the University musical program al-
most unique among American col-
leges, promises to be one of the finest.
in the history of the activity.
The Choral Union season and the
May Festival which follows it later
in the school year, are under the aus-
pices of the School of Music, and
through then concert and operatic
artists are brought to Ann Arbor
every year at popular prices. Thus is
made possible the fulfillment of one
of the most important cultural and
aesthetic needs of students.
Kreisler On Program
The Boston Syrphony Orchestra
under the baton of its celebrated con-
ductor, Serge Koussevitsky, will again
be a visitor to Ann Arbor this winter,
appearing Dec. 8. The Cleveland Or-
chestra, with Artur Rodzinski con-
ducting, will play earlier in the sea-
son, on Nov. 9, its second appearance
here.
Among the instrumental artists
scheduled to appear, perhaps the best
known is Fritz Kreisler, who will give
a concert Nov. 29. Another violinist,
not as well known in America, the
Rumanian mastro Georges Enesco,
will make his first appearance here
March 1, the closing performance of
the season.
Metropolitan Artists
Two outstanding pianists, the
widely recognized Serge Rachmani-
noff and the 12-year-old prodigy
Ruth Slenczynski, will take part in
the seasoi. Rachmaninoff, who has
played here previously, will open the
series Oct. 22, while Miss Slenczynski
will play Jan. 10.
In the vocal field, Richard Crooks,
Metropolitan Opera tenor, will ap-
pear Nov. 19, while Gina Cigna, so-
prano, another Metropolitan star, will
sing Jan. 28. The Helsinski Chorus,
of Finland,2which has achieved wide
popularity in America, will appear
here for the first time Jan. 28, with
Martti Turunen conducting.
'World Peace' Is Topic
Tickets for the entire season of
concerts, which will be presented in
Hill 'Auditorium, are priced at six,
eight, ten and twelve dollars. In-
cluded with a season ticket is a three-
dollar coupon which may be applied
on a season ticket to the subsequent
May Festival.
The remaining lectures of the
series will be delivered by Salvador de
Madariaga, distinguished observer of
current European politics and of the
Spanish war, who will speak Feb. 24
on "World Peace," and Wendell
Chapman, who will give an illustrated
lecture March 15 on "Wild Animals
of the Rockies," last of the series,
