For Revitew
In a training memorandum to the
regiment of cadets, Lieut. Col. Fran-
cis M. Brannan, commandant, com-
plimented the unit on their showing
in the federal inspection made last
Thursday and Friday.
He declared that Thursday's re-
view was undoubtedly the best of
the year and revealed that one of the
inspecting officers had expressed sur-
prise that the unit had attained such
proficiency in the short time devoted
to the drill.
The University corps will probably
receive once more the excellent rat-
ing held in the past, he added.
The ROTC units have only one
more function scheduled for the cur-
rent school year, a parade and review
at 5 .p.m., June 6, on Palmer Field.
AIChE To Hold Banquet
The student branch of the Ameri-
can Institute of Chemical Engineers
will hold its annual spring banquet
at 6:15 p.m. today in the Union. R. A.

tories, Detroit, will speak.

Albin Johnson
Plays Cornet
In Band Here
The position of conductor of the
University of Michigan Regimental
Concert Band is only one of the
many musical activities which have
occupied a major portion of the life
of Albin I. Johnson, '41SM, solo cor-
netist of the University of Michigan
Concert Band.
Ever since the days when he began
his musical career, "playing on the
linoleum" as he puts it, he has de-
voted his time to the study of the
cornet in particular and music in
general.
Johnson is a graduate of the Wil
h lams Conservatory of Music in
Brooklyn, New York. There he dis
tinguished himself by winning sev-
eral major prizes for his own com-
positions amtong which was "Pride of
the Lakes," a march which was
played over the radio by the cele-
brated Goldman Band of New York
City.
After graduation he was offered
the position of solo cornetist with
the official United States Army Band
in Washington, D.C., which he ac-
cepted, playing with them for a
period of three years. During that
time he was a featured artist over
all the major radio networks and
short wave stations.
