The organization is controlled by a governing body of forty men whose membership is for life. These men ad- minister the affairs of the organiza- tion under the name of the Orche- stral Association. Because its origin and growth is a complementary part of the growth of Chicago and its environs, the Campus 'News] "Portugal," a March of Time film, accompanied by an address by Prof. Benjamin Wheeler of the history de- partment, will highlight the Inter- national Center program at 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
