TIE MICHIiGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN Spanish Group To Hear Colby Talk On Brazil Spanish Instructor Finds Similarities In Spanish, PortugueseLanguages That Carmen Miranda is not re- sponsible for all the increased in- terest in Portuguese will be proved by Mr. Leroy Colby of the Spanish department at 4:15 p.m. Friday in Alumni Memorial Hall in the third lecture of La Sociedad Hispanica's 1941-42 series. Few students, Colby asserts, real- ize that Brazil is a Portuguese- speaking nation and stands alone in that capacity in South America Stressing the need for a better rela- tionships with Brazil, Colby will point out the advantages of knowing the Portuguese tongue. Following the title of the lecture, "Some Similarities Between Portu- guese and Spanish," Colby will de- scribe the points of similarity and difference between the two lan- guages. A point of primary consider- ation is the fact that any person speaking Portuguese can understand spoken Spanish and vice versa. The main body of the lecture will be given in English, but linguistic comparisons will be made by citing examples in both languages. It is not necessary for students wishing to attend the lecture to understand ei- ther Portuguese or Spanish. Special attention will be paid to emphasizing the ways in which students will be able to utilize these languages. Federa A ssistance For Colleges Asked At ChicagoMeeting Back on' campus following a one- day meeting of a sub-committee of land grant colleges in Chicago, Prof. Harlow J. Heneman, executive di- rector of the University War Board, said yesterday that proposals had been forwarded to the U. S. Com- missioner of Education suggesting possible methods of federal financial aid to colleges. The University is not a land grant college, but Prof. Heneman attended the session because topics discussed were pertinent to local acceleration problems. Both Prof. Heneman and President Ruthven attended a meeting of the Wartime Commission of the Federal Office of Education on the previous day to discuss plans of expediting the training of personnel in fields where shortages exist. Problems in medical, dental, physics and all types of engineering schools were dis- cussed. Stars To Appear In Ballet Tomorrow Perkins Would Give Governor Four Year Term, Urges Unity Coed Curfew Even Worse A sweeping revision of the Michi- gan state constitution, giving the governor a four-year term and strong, centralized powers and mak- ing other changes was urged yester- day by Dr. John A. Perkins, of the political science department. Dr. Perkins advanced his recom- mendations in an article prepared for the University's Quarterly Alumni Review. The article called for quick enact- ment of these changes: 1. Centralization of executive power in the governor, together with the power to appoint or remove all state officers except the lieutenant- governor and possibly the auditor general.f 2. Legislative reapportionment- "to insure the will of the popular ma- jority." 3. Unification of State courts, partly by putting the jurisdiction now held by justices of the peace in the hands of salaried trial justices ap- pointed by the circuit judges. Constitution Is 'Out-Moded' "Our present constitution in sev- eral respects is as out-moded as the rag-time, brass-rail era in which it was written," Dr. Perkins declared. "Twentieth century business has outgrown 18th century constitutional theory. The Federal-State pattern Shas changed more adically in the past 15 years than at any time since the Civil War. The charge of inef- ficiency has been leveled at the states, and if the tentacles of the Federal octopus are to be loosened, reform and modernization must reinvigorate the commonwealths, making them efficient." Responsibility Is Unfixed Urging new powers for the gover- nor, Dr. Perkins attacked the present system "which distributes executive responsibility among six elective of- - urinu W ar I ficers who are virtually independent of the governor and responsible only to the party which nominates them." Today's University coed, hysteric- "A tour-year term," he argued, ally screaming over a clipped Friday "should supplant the present two niglt curfew, looks like a pampered year tenure in order to give the gov- playthiing when comnpared to her ernor sufficient time in which to 1917 predecessor. familiarize himself with problems of The first crusade saw a drastic state administration and to carry out curtailment of privileges for both a program of constructive public men and women students in the service without weighing his decisions University.

Joseph Szigeti, will be starred in a Choral Union concert at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in Hill Audi- torium. Szigeti, world-wide known as a vio- lin virtuoso, is a swing music admirer. In 1939 at Carnegie Hall before an audience of half jitterbugs and half musical die-hards Szigeti and Benny Goodman played Bartok's Rhapsody for Violin and Clarinet. Goodman has always maintained that "Szigeti is my musical idol." The concert artist believes that popular swing has made a great con- tribution to music. He claims that it has raised the standards of effici- ency in playing music. Thursday Szigeti will present Con- certo in D minor by Tartini; Rondo in D major by Schubert-Friedberg; Sonata in'A major by Franck; Slav- ohic Dance in G minor by Dvorak- Kreisler; Study in Thirds by Scria- bin-Szigeti; Snow by Lie-Szigeti; In- termezzo from "Hary Janos" suite by Kodaly-Szigeti; Maidens in the Gar- den by Mompou-Szigeti; and Russian Dance by Stravinsky-Dushkin. Prima-ballerina Janina Frost and director Felix Sadowski will head the Polish Ballet's program of classics and folk dances tomorrow in Hill Auditoriui. Their appearances in Ann Arbor follows a highly successful transcontinental tour. Polithballet To Appear Here tomorrow Ini Hill Auditorium members and tne House from 140 to 50 members seems worthy," he said. Admitting "there is real question whether any modernization of the constitution would be wrought by a! constitutional convention, Dr. Per- kins called for "able and forceful leadership" to make constitutional change acceptable to the people of Michigan. Summer Study Planned To meet demands of army officials for speeded up training and more short terminal courses, the Commis- sion on Junior College Terminal Edu- cationhas decided to provide three summer workshops for college in- structors interested in setting up terminal courses and -studying prob- lems of terminal education. coed's letter blasting the "unpatri- otic waste" in the Union's eight- course Thanksgiving dinner menu. No similar protest has yet been reg- istered in this war. A further sacrifice came about with the Hooverization of local menus. Meatless, wheatless days found liran muffins and fish on Uni- versity dinner tables. More serious in its implications was the removal from the faculty of an associate professor of German by the Board of Regents. The great music and dances of a Europe-that-was will be presented at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow in Hill Audi- torium by the Polish Ballet in its Ann Arbor appearances under the sponsorship of the University Polo- nia Society. Under the direction of Felix Sa- dowski, former ballet master of War- saw Grand Opera, the company was originally organized after Poland's official ballet troupe had been stranded at the New York World's Fair with the outbreak of war. The Hill Auditorium audience will see a program combining Polish folk dances with the works of Polish mas- ter composers. First presentation will be Chopiniana, featuring music by Chopin and choreography by Sa- dowski. Prelude, Polonnaise Mili- taire, Nocturne, Mazurka No. 42 Op. 67, Mazurka No. 31, Op. 50, and Ma- zurka No. 2 Op. 33 will be offered. A guest artist, leading baritone Milo Luka of the Prague National Opera and now of the Chicago Civic Opera Company, will be heard in the second portion of the program. "Country Wedding," third perform- ance and a one-act ballet with Sa- dowski in the lead role, will weave ty pical national dances into a pea- sant festival setting. Following intermission, the Ballet will offer "Gypsy Camp," a Brahms work based on the carefree existence of Hungary's nomads. Baritone Luka will be presented again after this performance. A light tale of the Carpathian mountain folk, "Tatra Mountaineer," will be performed with Paris-trained Nina Juszkiewicz in a prominent role. Umarl Maciek, Umark (Matthew Died, He Died) has been selected as the Ballet's finale. With a famous Polish folk tale as its theme, this character ballet is one of the most stirring presentations on the pro- gram.
