Spring Concert
To Be Givei iby
Bantl Thitrsdlay ,
Will Present Gould's
'American Salute,'
'Ritual Fire Dance'
The University of Michigan Band's
annual spring concert, to be given
at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in Hill Audi-
torium, will feature a variety of in-
teresting numbers.
The overture to the opera "Ober-
on, King of the Fairies", by the early
nineteenth century German com-
poser, Carl von Weber, will imme-
diately follow the National Anthem,
which opens the program. The sec-
ond movement of "Symphony in C
minor", by Ernest Williams, will be
the third number. Composer Wil-
liams has made a notable contribu-
tion to the extremely limited amount
of music written originally for the
modern concert band.
Two Wagnerian selections to be
played are "Wotan's Farewell and
Magic Fire Music" from "Die Walk-
ure", and the Introduction to the
Third Ace of "Lohengrin". The first
selection is the scene in which Wo-
tan bids farewell to his favorite
daughter, Brunhilde, and commands
the sleeping girl to be surrounded by
a ring of fire. The music from Lo-
hengrin is that which is played at
the wedding of Lohengrin and Elsa,
and includes the familiar "Wedding
March".
Rimsky-Korsakov's colorful "The
Sea and Sinbad's Ship", first move-
ment of "Scheherazade", will be a
number familiar to many persons in
the atidience.
"Ritual Fire Dance", by Manuel
de Folla, was written originally for
ballet. George Roach, graduate stu-
dent, became interested in the num-
ber and 'has arranged it for bands.
He will conduct his own arrange-
ment Thursday night. William Fitch,
regular student conductor, will con-
duct Rube Bloom's "Song of the
Bayou", a number telling in music
the story of old Negro plantation
life, warm summer nights, and the
dark, twisting bayous along the Gulf
of Mexico. I
G. E. Holmes's latest composition,
"March Courageous", is dedicated to
the United Nations. Also particularly
timely is Morton Gould's "American
Salute", based on the tune, "When
Johnny Comes Marching Home".
Talented and promising Morton
Gould.is popular with the Univer-
sity of Michigan Band not only be-
cause of his widely recognized work,
but also because he has been in Ann
Arbor in recent years and has ex-
pressed keen interest in the work
of the band.
Brazil, Vargas
To Be Subject
Of Talk Today
Latin-American Club
To Sponsor Lecture by
Dr. Eduardo da Cruz
Dr. Eduardo Guidao da Cruz, Grad,
of Brazil, will speak on "The Political
Situation in Brazil and President
Vargas' Main Accomplishment: So-
cial Insurance", at 8 p.m. today in
the Rackham Amphitheatre under
the auspices of the Latin-American
Society.

Before coming to the University as
a fellowship student in Actuarial Sci-
ence last November, Dr. da Cruz was
a member of the Board of Actuaries
of the Ministry of Labor in Brazil.
His last position in this connection
was to supervise the liquidation of the
German and Italian banks and insur-
ance companies in Brazil when the
government cancelled their authori-
zation.
Dr. da Cruz, a graduate of the Law
School and the Civil, Mechanical and
Electrical Engineering Schools of the
University of Rio de Janeiro, has also
done considerable work in the promo-
,tion of the social insurance plan in
Brazil.
Dr. da Cruz's lecture is the second
in a series sponsored by the Latin-
American Society to acquaint the stu-
dents, faculty, and townspeople with
aspects of the cultural, social, and
political accomplishments of Latin-
America.

Without a winning football team
or beautiful coeds, the school has
been able to attract 2,200 to 2,500 stu-

Their average age ranges between
thirty and forty. Their interests may
vary from Casualty Insurance Cover-
ages to Semantics and Sane Think-
ing.
The curriculum is patterned largely
after that established by the Univer-
sity. The term lasts fifteen weeks
with classes meeting once a week.
Students working for degrees carry
two to four hours credit per semester,
as full-time employment prevents
them from taking more subjects.
Directed at the part-time student,
those anxious to secure degrees, or
those simply motivated by the desire
to learn, the curriculum is limited
only by demand and college stan-
dards. In step with the war effort,
non-credit courses for training vital
skills have been established. The
three semester academic year is mod-
eled after the University's,
The two million dollar Rackham
Memorial was first opened Jan. 28,
1942. Before the center was built
classes were held in anything from
libraries to high schools. The build-
ing is divided into two wings, the
larger of which is devoted to the Ex-
tension Service. Besides classroom
facilities the building contains a ban-
quet hall, an auditorium seating 1,000,
and a branch of the University Li-
brary.
Of the twenty-five to thirty credit
courses offered, subjects never given
at the University are available to the
students. Two hundred and fifty to
three hundred students are working
for advanced degrees. Japanese and
the engineering program are among
the courses pertinent to the war ef-
fort. Popularity of some of the non-
credit courses mirrors current inter-
ests as sessions in war and post-war
problems are heavily attended. Cur-
rent books, interior decoration and
music appreciation also engage 'the
students' attention.

Open Semester Series

mester's series will be given at 4:15
p.m. today in Hill Auditorium by Pal-
mer Christian, University organist.
Bach's "Fugue in E-flat" will start
the program. This famous Fugue has
come to be known as "St. Ann's," due
to the similarity of the opening
phrase to the English hymn-tune of
that name.
The second number on the program
is an organ prelude, "0 Mensch, be-
wein dein' Sunde gross", also a Bach
work. Other numbers to be played
in the organ musicale are "Symphony
for Organ" by Weitz; "In the

ICC To Farm
Victory Garden'
The victory garden drive was given
another boost yesterday when John
MacKinnon, '43BAd, president of
the Inter-Cooperative Council, an-
nounced that the ICC this summer
will farm a five-acre vegetable gar-
den.
Mrs. Byr F. Bacher, Assistant
Dean of Women, has loaned a por-
tion of her 30-acre farm near the
Fair Grounds to the ICC for the
garden. Plowing and planting will
begin as soon as a soil test is com-

pleted according to Dianne Turk,
'44, chairman of the ICC Farm
Board.
In the garden the ICC plans to
grow crows which are suitable for
canning or storage and thereby pre-
pare for the strict food rationing
next winter.

"Mohammedanism and the In flu-
ence Which It Exerts on Modern Cul-
ture in the Near East" will be dis-
cussed by Orhan Barun, Grad, of
Istanbul, Turkey at 7:30 p.m. tomor-
row at Lane Hall in the first of a
series of seminars on Oriental Reli-
gion.
An argument frequently used by
those opposing Indian freedom is that
Moslems and Hindus are unrecon-
cilably opposed to each other. It is
the purpose of these seminars to dis-
cuss the validity of this argument in
considering independence for India.

Seven 12 gauge pump and auto-
matic shotguns have been turned in
to the Ann Arbor police department
as part of a nation-wide drive to ob-
tain these firearms for the War De-
partment, Chief Mortenson an-
nounced yesterday.
The guns are needed to train gun-
ners in Flying Fortresses and anti-
aircraft gunners. Sportsmen were
asked to donate or sell their shotguns
to the government because wholesale
and retail stocks of these guns, comn-
monly used for hunting, had been de-
pleted.

By HARRIET PIERCE'
To those who may question the
loyalty of the fairer sex, let it be
known that last night not one of
Dolph Jaeger's fifty dates stood him
up.
At 8:30 p.m. they crowded into
Stockwell's lobby while Dolph took
the roll and found that all were pres-
ent or accounted for.
Dolph's "date" was the result of a
statement made to friends at Lloyd
House that he could have fifty dates
for one evening. They immediately
took him up on it, and he set about
proving that he was the man to ac-
complish this unheard-of feat.
Stockwell girls, numbering 54 in
all, formed a procession to the

League, where cokes were served at
Dolph's expense.
He will, however, be reimbursed,
as his friends lost their wager when,
back at Stockwell, roll was again
called and the faithful 54 were all
found to be present.
A little trouble was encountered
at the door when some of the losers
attempted to blockade the dorm, but
"man of the hour" Dolph stepped in
and managed to get his women all
safely in the lobby.
Dolph will just barely make ex-
penses, but he would have been set
back twelve 'dollars if he had lost.
However, he admitted that It was
fun.
"Thanks a lot, kids," he said Just
before he left, "and if I can ever find
another good excuse, I'll take you all
out again for more cokes,"
