THE. _MI HMJAN I) .LY Glenn. Miller's Orchestra Will Serenade' Michigan Today 4- Leading Band Will Feature Mimes' Song irstUnion Opera Composition On Coast-To-Coast Network Will Be Sung By Tex Beneke The nation's top-ranking band will honor Michigan's top-ranking stu- dent composers with a serenader to Michigan at 10 p.m. today over radio station WJR. Glenn Miller and his orchestra will feature its 15 minute program to- night with a rendition of "A Dream And I," written by Gordon Hardy, Grad., and Charles Bowen, '41, for the 1941 Mimes Union Opera. This is the first time in the history of the opera that a student-written song has been played by a big-name band on a coast-to-coast hookup. Tribute Will Be Paid T night's four-minute tribute to Hard~y and Bowen is the result of two weeks of nerve-wracking work on the part of the composers to get the tune ready-telegrams, long dis- tance calls and filing releases to CBS rand sundry other- places. "A Dream and I" received a Miller performance' during Senior Ball last year when it was sung by Chan Pin- ney, '41. Since then it's been in Mil- ler's cold storage room unpublishedj and ignored, while Hardy and Bower lived in the confidence' that some day Miller would bring it out and' publish it. And now during his salute fto the University of Michigan, the song will receive the public approval of Miller and band.. Team Is Dissolved Bowen and Hardy have worked as a team until last year when Bowen interrupted the team's certain fu- ture by graduating. He is a member /of Phi Ofgma Kappa and is now with radio station WCAR in Pontiac. Hardy, a graduate student in the School of Music, and a member of Theta Chi, is prominent in the musi- cal world of student productions, having contributed mans hit tunes to both JGP and Mimes Opera. This year, Hardy worked as music chair- man of "Full House" for ;which he wrote 12 out of the 23 songs in the show. Ma rriage Planned The engagement .and approaching marriage of Betty Ann Chaufty, '41SM, to Henry Newton Ohrt, '4 lAd, .was announced by her, par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin R. Chaufty. Miss Chaufty is a member of Sigma Alpha Iota and served as music chair- man for the Junior Girls Play and on League committees.

There's No Mistaking Even someone who didn't know that' Stewart Beach, '22, spent last semes- ter brushing up on Michigan atmos- phere would guess that "Racing Start" has its setting here, though all the buildings and events are faintly disguised in different names. From the president's welcome speech to lan- tern night in June there is no mis-: taking the campus.{ "Racing Start" is Beach's first piece of longer fiction, though far from his first experience in writing. After re- ceiving his A.B. he went East and has Lved in New York and Boston ever since, writing, editing and teaching.' Besides writing several successful short stories and a broadway play he acted as managing editor of House Beautiful for five years. Returned To Campus When Beach was commissioned to write a boy's novel about a freshman's experience in a big university, he was not satisfied with his memories of the campus in 1922. Returning last year he set about to absorb the atmosphere of classroom, fraternity house and pool.
