Union Smoker
Will e iven
Information To Be Given
On CampusActivities
Incoming second-semester fresh-
men desiring to acquaint themselves
with campus organizations and their
respective B.M.O.C.'s are urged to
attend the Activities Smoker to be
held at 7:45 p.m., Feb. 12, in the
main ballroom of the Union.
Designed especially to provide the
newly arrived University men with
information about clubs and activi-
ties, the Smoker will feature booths
of more than sixteen campus organi-
zations. Publications, the Union,
Congress, and many other "activities
will sponsor booths and there will be
plenty of opportunity for asking
questions and acquiring literature.
A special issue of The Daily will
be published describing the various
campus activities for the benefit 'of
the freshmen. The program of the
smoker will consist of several very
short talks describing the represent-
ed organizations.
During the informal period fol-
lowing the program, an opportunity
to circulate among the various booths
will be given.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Thor Johnson, Conductor
Serenata Notturna (K.V. 239 .. Mozart
An Outdoor Overture . Aaron Copland
Symphony No. 1 in D major .. Mahler
The University Symphony, under
the conductorship of Mr. Thor John-
son, yesterday achieved a distinction
of no mean degree, for their per-
formance of the First Symphony of
Gustav Mahler marked the first time,
to our knowledge, that any symphony
of Mahler has been performed by a
university orchestra.
Due to its extreme instrumenta-
tion and its technical difficulty this
symphony is seldom tackled by many
of 'our first line professional orch-
estras; but what is even more perti-
nent, its musical problems are such
that some of our greatest virtuoso
conductors tremble in their shoes be-
fore attacking the score, and often
come off second best.
Therefore too much cannot be said
for Mr. Johnson for the really mag-
Lieut.-Gen. Hugh A. Drum (center), commander of Eastern army
forces, and Brig.-Gen. Arnold N. Krogstad (left), commander of the
First Air Force, confer with Rear Admiral Adolphus Andrews, com-
mander of the North Atlantic Coastal Frontier. From their secret head-
quarters in the New York metropolitan area, these men plot strategy
against east coast submarine attacks.

nificent reading he gave this work.
From beginning to end he had the
orchestra under a complete, a sensi-
tive and immediately responsive con-
trol which enabled him to attain,
and maintain, a cohesiveness to his
reading which is so necessary to give
meaning to any performance of Mah-
ler. At no time during the playing
of the symphony did the orchestra
tend to fall apart, which might reas-
onably be expected of such a young
orchestra in as difficult a work as
this.
Unusually fine was the nice bal-
ance kept by the conductor between
the various voices, particularly when
several themes were being pulled to-
gether and summed up in a crescen-
doed climax. One of the finest points
in his interpreting of this score was
Mr. Johnson's realization of the pro-
per climaxes- and his restraint in
their summation. The shading and
dynamic changes were beautiful
throughout, never too abrupt, but
with subtlety and full maintenance
of tone quality. The beauty of the
poignant string passages was fully
realized, for which the orchestra
should be highly complimented. In
fact, the entire orchestra should be
given full credit for its technical and
tonal resources; it is undoubtedly the
finest the University has had under
Mr. Johnson.
The Serenata Notturna of Mozart,
Iwith which the program opened, was
played with a nicety of phrasing and
fine legato, and a surety of en-
semble between the solo and main
body of strings. Mr. Johnson's ex-
cellence in playing of Mozart is, of
course, nothing new; he has for sev-
eral years conducted the annual Mo-
zart Festival in North Carolina and
Ann Arbor audiences are familiar
with his Mozart, with the Little Sym-
phony in particular.
Unfortunately the audience in Hill
Auditorium was small, and because
of that acoustical problems were
present which prevented the full tone
of the strings and subtlety of en-
semble in the Mozart from being
fully appreciated by the audience;
and also allowed the brasses to too
completely cover the strings in parts
of the Mahler.

Most successful drive of its nature
ever conducted on the University
campus, Friday's Defense Savings
Tag Day sold 8,664 stamps and ap-
proximately 7,600 albums, it was an-
nounced yesterday.
The campaign was the first step
in a concentrated effort to acquaint
Michigan men and women with the
government-approved "savings hab-
it." Through steady purchases of
stamps, students will he able to buy
Series E defense bonds for $18.75.
These bonds mature to $25 in 10
years, and can be redeemed at any
time.
Next move in the campaign will be
the establishment of four defense,
savings stations in the League, Un-
ion, Library and University Hall
during the first week of the coming
semester. Stamps will be sold through
these outlets on an all-day basis.
Booth At J-Hop
In addition to this all-campus move,
there will also be a booth set up at
the J-Hop for the sale of defense
stamps and albums in addition to ex-
tra stamps for the savings-album
favor. This J-Hop favor, in the form
of a cover for a U.S. savings album
containing one 25 cent stamp, will
have a midnight blue background for
a gold University coat of arms. The
pages of the regular program will be'
bound on the outside of the album.
Under the chairmanship of Burton
Rubens, '42, the Defense Savings
Committee will sponsor a drive to
bring the slogan "Take Part of Your
Change in Defense Stamps" into all
stores serving the campus. This is in
line with a nation-wide campaign,
and the stamps will also be sold by
University cashiers.
Organizations Cooperated
Tie defense savings tag day was
conducted with the cooperation of
nearly every major campus organi-
zation. Ted McOmber, '42, was in
charge of assembling the albums and
organizing sales personnel.
The campaign, opened by President
Ruthven, was the first of its kind to
be conducted on any campus of any
higher educational institution in the
United States. Cooperating with the
University Defense Savings Commit-
tee in this drive, the Ann Arbor Jun-
ior Chamber of Commerce has also
placed the city first in per capita sav-
ings of any municipality in the coun-
try.
Defense stamps and bonds are a
continuation of the government pos-
tal savings plan opened in 1935. The
entire program was tremendously
broadened with Japan's attack upon
Pearl Harbor.
