Plays To Be
Given in June
Noel Coward's "Tonight at 8:30",
to be given June 6-9 in the Lydia1
Mendelssohn Theater, will be Play'
Production's last offering of the
spring semester.
There are nine plays in the "To-
night at 8:30" series. These were1
presented by Mr. Coward in groups
of three different plays on three con-
secutive evenings at 8:30 p.m. Val-
entine Windt, director of Play Pro-
duction, has chosen "Fumed Oak",
"Ways and Means, and "Family
Album" from this group of light
comedies.
Worm -Like Ilusband
"Fumed Oak" reveals the sad po-
sition of a worm-like husband in a
family of three nagging females, one
of them being a loquacious adenoidal
child. Our "hero" finally turns on
the three generations of woman who,
have been making him miserable and}
affords an amusing twist to the plot.
The sophisticated "Ways and
Means" deals with a young married
couple living beyond their means in
the gay society of the European
smart set. The way in which they
solve their difficulties provides an
entertaining one-act play.
Sardonic Play
"Family Album" is a mildly sar-
donic play with musical accompani-
ment. The opening scene reveals a
very correct Victorian family mourn-
ing the death of the wealthy father. I
With the aid of a little wine they
overcome their grief and engage in
amusing and tuneful activities.

Class Games Won
By 25-Point Lead
Trampling out six firsts, out of a
possible seven, 51 freshmen mauled
over 17 sophomores to win the re-
vived Class Games Classic yesterday,
30-5.
Playing shirtless under a hot sun
with the refereeing of Earl Riskey,
the two teams battled for over an
hour, the outnumbered sophomores
relying on strategy for their assault,
the freshmen on sheer physical
strength.
Pulling arms, legs and torsos, the
freshmen took the Graveyard event,
capturing 13 of their opponents, to
the sophomores' seven kidnapped
freshmen. The game was complicat-
ed by the winners somewhat when
captured men refused to stay cap-
tured, and others went illegally be-
hind the goal to get their men.
Taking eight minutes to score one
goal against their out-manned oppo-
nents, the freshmen pushed through
to victory in the Chinese soccer game
by carrying the ball across the goal,

night Tuesday in the Rainbow Room

Marion, whose specialty is writing
and singing his own songs, will make
his first appearance in Ann Arbor.
The titles of some of his songs are
"Two Hearts Alone" and "True
Love". Many of the Michigan stu-

to furnish the entertainment. The
services of Layton, Marion and of
the Union are given without cost to

Concert Group
Termed 'Band
Without Peer'
The University Concert Band has
been acclaimed as the "band without
a peer among college bands" by the
famous bandmaster, Dr. Edwin
Franko Goldman.
Not only does the Band present sev-
eral concerts of its own each year,
but it contributes to the success of
other functions. Playing at Com-
mencement exercises, at basketball
games and performing at an Army
hospital and a Naval base are only a
few of the band's activities of the
past year,
Personnel of the band repre-
sents 14 states, with members com-
ing from such states as Washing-
ton, Louisiana and New Jersey.
Membership is not confined to mu-
sic students and many players are
enrolled in colleges of the Univer-
sity other than music. At present,
there are four returned veterans
among the 65 bandsmen.
Awards for service in the band are
presented each year to deserving
members. For one year's participa-
tion, the award is a silver watch
charm and for two, a gold watch
charm. A band (M) sweater is
awarded for three year's service and
an (M) blanket for four.
Tradition rules that each player
who is making his first trip with
the Band must eat his first meal
without the usual utensils. "Fing-
ers were made before forks" insist
the enthusiastic supporters of this
custom.
The library of the Michigan Band
includes many thousands of selec-
tions of band literature, thus offer-
ing band lovers a wide variety of
classical and modern music.
First reference to a band at the
University of Michigan is credited to
a graduate of the class of 1844, who
said that a nine-piece band assisted
in the singing at chapel services. In
1859 about fifteen students who were
making ensemble music their hobby
organized "Les Sans Souci."
This group assumed the name of

Songs,
Opera Scores
To Be Featured
Highlighting the program with
selections from opera, symphony,
Michigan songs, a percussion and
piano solo, the University Concert
Band under the direction of Prof.
William D. Revelli, will present its
thirty-second annual spring concert
at 4:15 p. m. EWT (3:15 p. m. CWT)
today in Hill Auditorium.
Composed of approximately 75
members, the Concert Band will be
heard in its first formal concert
since the Band and Orchestra Cli-
nic meeting here in February.
Opening the program with "Pro-
cession of the Nobles from Rimsky-
Korsakov's "Mlada," the band will
play Overture, "Beatrice and Bene-
dict" by Berliez, love scene from
Moussorgsky's "Boris Goudonov"
and the finale from Fauchet's
"Symphony in B-flat."
Two types of compositions not usu-
ally found in the repertoire of the
average concert band will be per-
formed on the second half of today's
concert. "Repartee," a piano solo in
the American idiom by DavidoBen-
nett, proves the effectiveness of the
band as an accompanying medium to
the piano. It brings out the various
sonorities and colors of the wood-
winds and brasses combined with the
solo instrument.
Paul Kuiter, V-12 student, will
perform the piano solo in "Repar-
tee." Formerly a pupil of Cour-
ine Frederick in St. Louis, Mo., he
hopes to attend a conservatory and
continue his music after the war.
"Swinging the Ingots," by Moffit,
is also American in character, but of
a concert swing sytle. It emphasizes
swing rhythms and effects adapted to
concert band instrumentation. War-
ren "Whitey" Benson, '46 SM, first
drummer and sectional leader of the
percussions in the band, also a mem-
ber of the University Symphony Or-
chestra, will be featured in the per-
cussion solo. -
PERCUSSION SOLOIST-Warren "Whitey" Benson, first drummer in
the University Concert Band, will be featured soloist in "Repartee,"
American swing number, on the band's thirty-second annual spring
concert at 4:15 p. m. EWT today in Hill Auditorium.

the Michigan Band, although it was
not until 1895 that the Board of
Regents organized the official Mich-
igan Band. This organization per-
formed at football games and at the
Senior Promenade and Reception
during Commencement Week. In
November of 1898 the Athletic Asso-
ciation equipped the band with uni-
forms.
At the turn of the century, a
bandstand was buiit near the old
library in the center of the campus,
and was the setting of many con-
certs. In 1914 the First Annual
Spring Concert was presented to
the public in Hill Auditorium.
In 1915 the Band acquired its first
permanent conductor, and in 1935
William D. Revelli took the baton.

V-Bonds

In Drive
V-Mail Used For
Distributing Gifts
V-Bonds, designed especially for
men overseas, have been prepared
by the Treasury Department to
facilitate sales of bonds for mili-
tary personnel during the Seventh
War Loan.
V-Bonds are simulated certificates
printed on regular V-Mail type paper,
similar to that available anywhere.
On the message part of the sheet,
a facsimile of an actual war bond is
printed in government green, decor-
ated with a flying eagle near a ribbon
reading, "Another bond between us-
from the folks back home."
The bonds are copies of actual
bonds bought within the United
States for servicemen abroad. Spaces
are provided on the V-Bond wherein
the sender can mark the amount of
the Series E bond he is presenting
to the serviceman.
On the face of the facsimile V-
Bond are lines to be filled in by the
issuing agent in the same manner
as a real bond, complete with his

nounced by R. Gordon Griffith, di-

serial, number, and the owner's
name and address. There is also
a place for a personal message from
the sender.
"The V-Bond certificate is a con-
venient and novel way to let over-
seas servicemen know that bonds are
being bought for them back home,"
R. Gordon Griffith, directing the
campus war loan drive, declared yes-
terday. "One of the best promo-
tional schemes to come out of the
Seventh. War Loan, it should receive
an enthusiastic response," he said.
V-Bonds will be filled out at the
same time the buyer's regular bond
is prepared, and both will be de-
livered together. V-Bonds are
available at the cashier's office, and
can be ordered through campus
veterans and JGP solicitors. Allt
bonds purchased on campus for
men overseas will count toward the
University's $100,000 quota.
Students saving stamps that will
eventually be turned in for war bonds
for servicemen abroad can also make
use of the V-Bond facilities.
"Actual war bonds of course cannot
be sent out of the country. The fac-
simile V-Bond, the closest approxima-
tion to a regular bond, provides a
patriotic and financially sound way
of greeting the men overseas," Grif-
fith pointed out.
Jap Suicides
On Tinian.Told
ByU' Alumnus
"You girls in the yellow and green
dresses-can you hear me? Listen
carefully. This battle for Tinian is
over now, and there is no more dan-
ger for you. But you must come out
immediately. Climb up the path
behind you and go inland. There
you will find some Marines who have
been - instructed to escort you to
safety. Take. others with you, your
mothers, fathers, brothers and sis-
ters. We are trying to help you . .."
This appeal to Japanese hiding
in a Tinian cliff cave was delivered
over a loudspeaker by Lt. Clelan H.
(Cliff) Graham, a University alum-
nus now serving with the Fifth
Amphibious Marine Corps head-
quarters, as his LCI neared the
rocky shore of the island.
In his story, "48 Hours at Tinian",
appearing in the June issue of Cor-
onet magazine, Lt. Graham describes
the efforts of a few Marines to con-
vince a group of Japanese civilians
and soldiers that surrender to Amer-
icans was better tian death. Al-
though continuous broadcasting over
a two-day period resulted in the sur-
render of several thousand Japanese,
many took their Own lives by plun-
ging off a cliff into the ocean below,
where they were dashed to death
against jagged rocks. Others, he re-
ports, committed hara-kiri.

Ohio State Close Contender
Michigan's closest contender is
Ohio State which gined71/tpoints in
yesterday's competition. The Bucks
offer no threat, however, to the Wol-
verines, since even a clean sweep of
the remaining matches by Ohio
would give them only 12% points.
The major upset of the day was
the defeat of Roger Lewis, Michi-

top honors followed by Northwestern.
Count Four Lowest out of Five
Counting the four lowest scores of
the five-man teams entered in the
tournament, Ohio golfers won the
championship with a total of 603
points which was probably one of
the lowest scores ever compiled in the
fifteen-year history of the Confeor-
ence play-offs. Northwestern copped
second place with a score of 626, and
the Wolverines were next with 629.
Howard Baker and John Lorms,
members of the Buckeye squad are
