Medical science is attempting to fer-

The weasel-like little animaIs, Once

Brown Anounces
Varsity Glee Club's
RehearsalAgenda
Charles Brown, '41, president of
the Varsity Men's Glee Club, yester-
day announced that part-rehearsals
for members of the chorus have been
scheduled for between-semester at-.
tendance, and that members must be
present.
First tenors will rehearse at 4 p.m.
Wednesday, February 12, first basses
at 2 p.m. the same day; second basses
will rehearse at 4 p.m. Thursday,
February 13, and second tenors at
2 p.m. the same day. There will be a
complete rehearsal of all Glee Club
members at 7:30 p.m. on this same
Thursday at the Union.
The Glee Club is now rehearsing
for their second semester season con-
certs, and especially for their Annual
Spring Concert. Prof. David Mattern,
of the School of Music, is chorus con-
ductor, and Jack Ossewaarde, Grad.,
is accompanist.
Some of the new numbers which
will be added to the club's repertoire
for their new season are: Tschaikow-
sky's "Immortal Song," Brahm's
"May Night," Mozart's "Adoremus
Te," some excerpts from Gilbert and
Sullivan's opperetta "Ruddigore" and
the "Merriest Fellows Are We," from

ans, but during the first world war
pledged themselves exclusively to the
playing of quartets. In fact, their
aim in life is "to render with the ut-
most perfection all the works of
classic and modern literature." This
task has been made easier for them
by their matchless instruments which,
faultlessly selected, produce the ef-
fect of one single sonorous instru-
ment with sixteen strings.
Their instruments are some of the
finest of old-Italian makes. The first
violin is a Petrus Guanenius; the viola
a Grancino; the 'cello a J. B. Gudag-
nini; and the second violin a Sanctus1
Seraphin.
The Budapest Srting Quartet are1
now making their tenth tour of this
country this season. They have, and1
will, play in most of the nation's1
major cities, as they have played in,

most of the key cities of the world.
It is to the credit of the ensemble,
also to note that their concerts this
season are mostly reengagement ap-
pointments.
Officials Rule Exemption
WASHINGTON, Feb. l.--(P)-Se-
lective Service Officials ruled today
that Lay brothers of the Catholic
Church are exempt from the draft
as "regular ministers of religion." The
ruling quoted a certification from
Archbishop Edward Mooney of De-
troit, Chairman of the administrative
board of the National Catholic Wel-
fare Conference, asserting that under
the laws of the church Lay brothers
"are not only bound to the obliga-
tions of the clerical state but that
they also enjoy the same privileges
as clerics."I
