THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, XdARCU 1% 194t Student Chorus Rehearses For 'Great Vesper' Fraternities, Sororities, University Glee Club illjoin In Program Sixty male and female voices, drawn from campus fraternities, sor- orities, and the University Glee Club, have been rehearsing for two weeks under the direction of Dr. Palmer Christian for their role in the Great Vesper, which will be sung here March 27 in Hill Auditorium. The student choruses, who will support the Lat- vian Singers in their rendition of the Greek Orthodox Church services,I have been organized by Interfrater-I nity and Panhellenic Councils. The Latvian Singers, led by Aus-' tris S. Wihtol, will conduct the serv- ices while the students will portray the congregation and the antiphon- al chorus. The chorus, which will be located in the balcony, will sing the "Hallelujahs" and the "congregation" will recite the Lord's Prayer and the creed of the Greek Orthodox Church. According to Dr. Christian, the most difficult problem presented by the project. has been the learning of the liturgies, which will be sung from memory. The music, .while in an impressive church vein, is compara- ively uncomplicated. Dr. Christian summed up the student attitude to- wards this non-sectarian religious presentation when he declared, "The response to this project has been eminently satisfactory. The enthus- iasm of the chorus members for the music and their part in its presenta- tion is all that could be desired." ROTC Riflemen End Competition With Four Wins Four wins and five losses was the record accorded the University ROTC rifle team as they finished their Big Ten competitions with an 1881 to 1842 loss to Iowa in their final match of the series, Verne C. Kennedy, Jr., '42E, captain of the team, announcedI yesterday. Not a total loss, however, last week's shooting also brought a 37781 I to 3650 victory over a University of California squad, with Gordon A. Stumpf, '41E; Richard O. Jones, -43E, Kennedy, Harry E. Altman, '43E, and Wallace J. Wilkie. '43E,{ turning in the high scores.' Results received earlier gave the Michigan squad another defeat at the hands of Minnesota's Big Ten cham- pions, 1889 to 1846. In this match Kennedy turned in a new high score for the year, shooting a 384 out of 400. Shooting high scores in the Iowa match were Stumpf, Jones, Kennedy, Wilkie and Altman, in that order. Although final Big Ten results have not yet been received by the ROTC department, it is very probable that the Michigan squad will finish in sixth or seventh place.

School Experiment Here In Ann Arbor Has Proved Worth Now nearly three years old, the Ann Arbor Cooperative Nursery School, located in the Angell School, has developed from an experiment in child and parent education into a ell-established pre-school communi- ty with "graduates" in several of the local elementary schools. Trial and error learning is respon- sible in part for the progress of the Nursery School, together with a well- qualified teacher, a supply of text- books on nursery school methods and an eager group of parents and ad- visers. Recently the group has published an account of its activities entitled "Workbook of the Ann Arbor Coop- erative Nursery School." This book-1 let should be of considerable value to those who plan to start cooperative nursery schools in their own com- munities. Still hoping faithfully in the even- tual coming of Spring, the Big Ten tried to keep up its chin this week by centering its interest in campus activities and troubles. Wisconsin and Illinois are having trouble with their respective Men's Unions. At Wisconsin they're trying to change the method of electing the Union president. The proposed plan will call for election by the out- coming Union Council rather than the incoming one. Illinois stu- dents are exhibiting concern over the dispute about what should be done with the money taken in at the Union dances. A special committee has been appointed to investigate the use of the Union. There's a report making the rounds at Chicago that Friars, organization similar to Mimes, has been reinstated by the University authorities. The Friars had been banned because of an unpaid debt. Ohio State was shocked during the week when a stu- dent Senator charged that all class officers were useless! Grad Club Will Plan Activities For Future At Meeting Today When is a club not a club? This is the question which the Graduate Education Club will seek to answer at a "disorganization" meeting at 4:15 p.m. today in the Library of the University Elementary School. The meeting, which is open to all graduate students in Education, is for the purpose of determining whether or not to continue the activities of the organization. Many of the educational lectures and social events which were former- ly sponsored by the Club are now provided through other channels. If sufficient interest is apparent, the Club will reorganize to meet definite needs for its existence. Faculty Members To Visit Meeting Of French Club Le Cercle Francaise has invited sev- eral members of the faculty to at- tend the meeting of the club at 7:30 p.m. today in Room 408 Romance Languages Building.
