cause of transportation difficulties,
recent activities have been confined
largely to campus.
"First semester freshmen may try
out for the Freshman Men's Glee
Club the first week of instruction,"
Prof. Mattern pointed out. "Those
showing special abilities will be al-
lowed to rehearse with the Varsity
Glee Club and will be taken in as reg-
ular members at the beginning of
their second semester.
All-Campus Sing Is Planned
The Glee Club made its first ap-
pearance of the semester at an orien-
tation program in Hill Auditorium
last week. An all-campus sing is be-
ing planned for early in the term and
serenades will be given regularly
throughout the year, Prof. Mattern
said.
"'The broadcasts made by the Glee
Club from'Morris Hall will be con-
tinued," Prof. Mattern said. "The
aim of the Club is to keep alive the
spirit of Michigan songs, so concerts
and broadcasts will feature songs like
"When Night Falls Dear," "'Tis of
Michigan I Sing" and "College Days."

'Music for Morale'
To Be Band Slogan
"Music for Morale" will be the slo-
gan for University Bands under the
direction of Prof. William B. Revelli
for the coming year.
"A concert band is a spiritual tonic
for members as well as for those who
attend the concerts," Professor Re-
velli elaborated. The "pops" band,
directed by Prof. Leonard Meretta,
concentrates on lighter music. Both
Prof. Revelli and Prof. Meretta plan
to consolidate their bands and the
Girl's Orchestra to form the band
which will play at the football
games.
The University Bands are open to
any student in the University. Al-
though the bands are sponsored by'
the School of Music, there have al-
ways been many students from the
other schools in the University who
have played in the band. The con-
ductors of the bands and all the
members sincerely hope that this
practice will be carried on this year.
Last year the bands started on a
new project. They published a Uni-
versity of Michigan Band Newslet-
ter. Copies of this letter were sent
every month to all former members
Band Director
Soviet Comedy
To Open Art
Cinema Series
Two Short Subjects
Will Complete Bill foi'
First Presentation
With the promise of a fuller and
more entertaining season than ever
before, the Art Cinema League will
open its 1943-44 series Nov. 11 and
12 with a new Soviet musical comedy,
"Volga-Volga".
Two short subjects will complete
the bill. The first will feature the
famed Red Army Ensemble in a series
of songs directed by Prof. A. Alex-
androv'and the second will be a Brit-
ish documentary film dealing with
the role of sea-craft in the historic
evacuation of Dunkirk.
Although the complete program for
the rest of the season has not yet
been announced, a considerable num-
ber of high-quality films is assured.
Tickets will be sold separately for
each presentation. Art Cinema offi-
cials said that a series of films, such
as Charlie Chaplain's, may be shown
again this year. Tickets for films in
this series have to be purchased in a
block.
In "Volga-Volga," music is the
cause of hilarious rivalry between
two groups of amateur musicians.
Each group seeks the honor of rep-
resenting their town in a nation-
wide music festival.
Ringleaders in this tuneful free-
for-all are Strelka, the village letter
carrier who espouses gay folk tunes,
and her fiance, Aliosha, whose enthu-
siasm for classical music is greater
than his playing ability.
When the two rival groups embark
on the Volga river, each determined
to reach the scene of the competition
before the other, amateur music gives
way to amateur seamanship as a
source of comedy.
Estranged by their musical dispute
and their hard-dought river race,
Strelka and Aliosha are finally rec-
onciled when the judges of the com-
petition award first prize to the girl
for her composition, "Song of the
Volga." The role of Strelka is taken
by Lubot Orlova.t

30 lectures a year concerning present
day topics, has definitely procured

years and practiced medicine there.
