Villari To Talk
On Italy's Part
In War Politics
Former Italian Minister
Will Analyze Situation
In Lecture Here Friday
Dr. Luigi Villari, formerly a mem-
ber of the Italian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, will discuss "Italy and the
International Situation" at 4:15 p.m.
Friday in the Rackham Amphithe-
atre.
The talk, a University lecture spon-
sored by the political science depart-
ment, is open to the public.
Dr. Villari, a member of the staff
of the League of Nations, was born
in Italy and educated at Oxford, in
England. Carrying on the family tra-
dition set by his father, who was a
prominent historian, Dr. Villari has
concentrated much of his attention
on a study of contemporary Euro-
pean history, especially the history
of Italy.
In the role of historian, he is one
of the most important contributors
to the Italian Encyclopedia and has
written several books on modern
European history. In the role of
statesman, he has been prominent in
the political and foreign affairs of
his native country.
Dr. Villari has lectured in the Unit-'
ed States previously; especially pro-
minent are his lectures delivered a
few years ago at Williamstown, Mass.

Up, up and up in popularity goes 1
Iola Fuller Goodspeed's prize win-t
ning Hopwood novel. This week 'The
Loon Feather" goes into its fifth
printing by Harcourt, Brace and Co.
and it had also found its place on
"New York Herald-Tribune's" list
of best sellers. Oddly enough, the
novel reached the top of the list,
not in Michigan where the back-
ground was laid, but in San -Fran-
cisco and Toronto, Canada.
Off the presses of Harcourt. Brace
and Company next August will roll
Mildred Walker Schemm's next nov-
el entitled. "The Brewer's Big
Horses." Her first novel, "Fireweed"
was the first Hop'vood book of fic-
tion to be published and her third
book, "Dr. Norton's Wife." was on
the Literary Guild Selection list last
year.
Dorothy Greenwald, fiction award
winner in 1933, is now connected
with the Harvard Press and does
occasional reviews for the "Boston
Transcript." Her most recent was
one on Conrad Richter's book
"Trees" in the last issue.

T. Hawley Tapping, general secre-
tary of the Alumni Association, will

These clubs will advise him con-
cerning their 10-year program pro-
ject: assistance to the summer fores-
try camp on Golden Lake near Iron

"One of the most unusual speakers
we've ever had here" Prof. Waldo
Abbot says about Prof. Preston W.
Slosson, of the history department.
When Professor Slosson deivered his
scheduled radio talk on current world
affairs last Sunday, he spoke as usual
without words or outline or any sort
of script. His broadcast was to be
recorded, however, with fifteen min-
utes for each side of the disc. In
order to transcribe the whole half
hour, a pause must come in the mid-
dle when the record is turned. Thus
a sentence or so from the discussion
probably would be lost. But Profes-
sor Slosson saw no reason why it
should be, and at the end of the first
fifteen minutes, finished the Finnish
War to the syllable and second. The
recording was turned, and discussion
of the Eastern European situation
started as Professor Slosson's talk
continued. The conclusion came "on
the nose" exactly, and history was
made as well as discussed. Never
before had a program been quite so
completely rounded and smooth-as
well as extemporaneous.,
On the air today will be "Working
Their Way," over WMBC. Frances
Mendelson, '41, and Ward Quall, '41,
from Jerry Wiesner's class will inter-
view Eugenia Paprin, Grad., Vahan
kalajan, '41, Lee Delevin, '40, and
John Emery, '40. George Shepard,
'41, announces the program at 2:45
p.m.
Then the "Student Forum" holds
sway over WJR at 3:30 p.m. Students
from the economics classes of Prof.
Leonard L. Watkins will participate,
Fritz De Fries, '40, announces.
Civic Series Planned
Officials of small municipalities
of Michigan will "go to school" be-
ginning Thursday. For the University
Extension Service, in collaboration
with the Michigan Municipal League,
is sponsoring a series of courses and
conferences for civic officials, at
Milan, to be conducted weekly.

QUESTION: What is a "Station-to-Station"
long distance telephone call?
ANSWER: A Station-to-Station call is one on
which the operator is asked merely to es-
tablish connection with a given telephone
number. Station-to-Station calls may be
placed by name and address if -the called
number is not known.
STATION-TO-STATION CALLS are quickly made and are
the cheapest. Use Station-to Station service if you are
prepared to talk with anyone present at the called
telephone as charging begins as soon as an answer is
received at the called telephone. For additional typical
Station-to-Station rates not shown below, see page 5 of
the telephone directory or ask "Long Distance" (dial 0).
