XX 1 1%I ,1-V Jtf L!A t 4a, I4AA Roth Quartet Director Renews Old Acquaintances At Festival i recounts: "Back in 1927 in Par-is, I played the first piece of chamber music that Roy Harris ever wrote; and we have been fighting and work- ing with each other ever since." Here Harris interjected mildly, r "Only during rehearsals of course." "Oh, of course," continued Roth. "One day we leave thinking that the other fellow is the worst string quar- tet and composer-next day we are old friends again. All the time." I Harris, whose "Four Preludes and - Fugues" the Roth Quartet will play - tomorrow, smiled wryly as Roth con- tinued.' "I did not know Roy was going to be here; I send him a telegram in New York for -him to come. Then I find he is already here for something else. But it's too late to get my 83 cents back by then!" Spending as much as 80 per cent of their concert time playing for stu- dent audiences, the Roth Quartet members are well able to judge Ann Arbor audiences. Oliver Edel, cellist, declared that students are more in- terested and more responsive to chamber music than the average city audience. The quartet has been on tour at different universities since October; at present they are on tour through the mid-west and they will continue until March, at which time they will be back East.1 After the interview, Roth and Harris left together to go out for the evening. When last seen, they were headed for either a movie or a well- known local tavern.

The team is cap- tained by Art Thomson, '44E, and coached by Lieut. K. S. Shook, U.S.N. Previous victims to the marksman- ship of the Navy's riflemen were NROTC teams from Yale, Renssel- aer, Marquette and South Carolina.

Forsythe, director of Health Service, held its first meeting at the Service yesterday and made plans for coordinating Washtenaw County emergency medical relief services. The recently formed medical coun- cil is a branch of the Washtenaw County Council of Defense and will have overall authority in directing disaster relief in the event of sabo- tage or aerial bombing of defense plants, or other war emergencies. First move of the medical council was to divide the more densely pop- ulated parts of the county into smal- ler areas with a member of the de- fense council as local head. These areas are centered around Ann Ar- bor, Ypsilanti, Dexter, Saline, Chel- sea, Milan and Manchester. rTypioid Will Not. Affect U.S. Army The deadly typhus plague now dec- imating the Nazi and Soviet armies in the Russian campaign and re- ported spreading to North Africa is not likely to infect American Army camps according to Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, director of Health Service. The typhus, highly fatal blood dis- ease, is spread by lice biting soldiers in the field who are living under rel- atively unsanitary conditions, espec- ially lacking changes of clothing. Since the carier lice breed in con- ditions of filth, it is unlikely that civilian areas not in the war area will be hit by the scourge. A bill of four one-act plays, each directed by a student in Valentine B. Windt's advanced directing class, will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Although the productions are un- der the general supervision of Vir- ginia Whitworth who is on the Play Production staff, all the work-act- ing, directing, costuming and scene- building-is done by students. Margaret Cotton, '42, will direct pastoral scenes from "As You Like It" by William Shakespeare; Joseph Lynn, '42, will direct a comedy; Fay Goldner, '42, will direct a play writ- ten by herself entitled "As Darkness Calls," and Theodore Balgooyen, Grad., will direct his own "Black Land, Bright Sky." The last of the plays Balgooyen is directing with certain techniques of Russian directors he has studied, not- ably Meierhold. According to Meier- hold's theory, the characters in plays are symbolic and it is his idea, one which Thornton Wilder has followed, that the audience should be included in the play rather than watching it from the outside. Students in Robert Mellencamp's Victory Campaign To Cogllect F ooks For Enlisted Men A national goal of 10,000,000 books has been set for the Victory Book Campaign soon to be inaugurated in Ann Arbor and on campus. Primary purpose of the campaign is to furnish reading material for army, navy, and marine camps, whose libraries are inadequate for the in- flux of armed forces. A secondary aim of the movementC is to supplement the libraries in; crowded industrial centers, and child- ren's books, household books and text books for this purpose are being sought along with the novels, his- tories and technical works suitable for service men. The local drive will begin the week of Feb. 12, and collections will be made in various spots around cam- pus Thursday, Friday and Saturday of that week. Students are urged to go over their books now, so that they will be prepared to donate at that time. All money contributed, as well as money derived from sale of rare or unwanted books, will be put into the general fund for the purchase of more books.
