performance of Handel's monumen-
tal oratorio at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec.

ent: Frieda Op't Holt Vogan, instruc-
tor in organ at the University; the
University Symphony Orchestra, un-
der the direction of Professor Gilbert
Ross; the University Choral Union,
made up of singers from the Univer-
sity, Ann Arbor, and surrounding
communities; and Hardin Van Deur-
sen, Conductor of the University
Musical Society; and the united
services of distinguished soloists.
Ellen Osborn
Ellen Osborn, glamorous young
American soprano, was chosen by the
late Max Reinhardt for the leading
singing role in "Helen Goes to Troy,"
the Broadway version of Offenbach's
"Belle Helene," which goes into re-
hearsal soon in New York.
Prominent among the- young Amer-
ican singers of the day is Mary Van
Kirk, contralto of the Metropolitan
Opera. Miss Van Kirk comes from
Akron, O., and entered the Metro-
politan by winning the Metropolitan
Audition on the Air.
Hardesty Johnson
Hardesty Johnson, tenor, is a
native of Boston, and studied both
in the United States and Europe.
After a successful debut in France
and later in England, he returned to
America where he has been acclaimed
for his tenor voice and fine musician-
ship.
Gean Greenwell, a young giant
from the rugged mountains of Utah,
has a background as colorful as the
quality of his bass voice. His singing
began with high school operettas,
and continued as soloist of the Uni-
versity of Utah Glee Club, with which
he toured in the west.
Speakers for
tU Press Club
Praise Students
Several of the guest speakers at
the recent United Press Club of
Michigan convention were on the
campus for the first time, and Prof.
J. L. Brumm, head of the Journalism
Department, related some of their
opinions of the student body and of
the University in general.
Prof. Robert McIver, head of the
Department of Sociology at Colum-
bia, told Prof. Brumm how impressed
he was with the facilities available
here for public meetings. He voiced
admiration for the type of programs
prepared and organized by the jour-
nalism men on the campus for the
newspapermen of the state during
the convention series.
Another speaker, Harold Shear-
man, took note- of the lively interest
of students in present-day affairs.
He seemed appreciative of the fact
that they wanted more than text-
book knowledge, and were willing to
think currently and in opposition to
orthodox ways in order to reach a
just answer to their questions and
problems. However, he did not notice
a spirit of political radicalism, but
rather a sense of deep conviction in
the fact that world is changing rap-
idly, and that we must be prepared
to make adjustments to this change;
that because of the war, we must

now take into account the impor-
tance of human values over mere
pecuniary interests.

AACHEN, Germany, (Delayed)-
Defeat has driven apart the people
who come drifting back to the sham-
bles of this city, instead of uniting
Carl Becker To
Speak at Fifst
Cook Lectre
Carl L. Becker, Cornell University
history professor, will be the first
speaker in the William W. Cook
lecture series to be held from Dec. 4
through 8 at the Rackham Amphi-
theatre, it was announced yesterday.
Lecturing at 8:15 p.m., Monday,
Dec. 4, Prof. Becker will discuss, "The
American Political Tradition," "Free-
dom of Speech and the Press," "Free-
dom of Learning and Teaching,"
"Constitutional Government," and
"Private Economic Enterprise."
The lecture series was provided for
in the will of William W. Cook, Uni-
versity alumnus who financed the
building of the Law Quadrangle and
Martha Cook dormitory.
Prof. Becker, a graduate of the
University of Wisconsin, taught at
Pennsylvania State College, Dart-
mouth College, and the University of
Kansas before going to Cornell Uni-
versity in 1917.

tlhem in a common bond of mutual
understanding.
A primitive urge for survival, has
made the civilians grasping and sus-
picious and there's no apparent com-
munity feeling left among the people.
As Lt. Morris B. Parloff of 4130 Law-
ler Ave., Chicago, said, there seems
to be no tie binding them now that
they look to defeat for Germany.
Many of these people, who face
a winter with little food and fuel,
denounce others as Nazis and in-
form on their neighbors, said Tech.
Sgt. Adolph Rothschild of 110 Riv-
erside Dr., New York City.
Staff Sgt. Richard Schafter of
1040-A Ederson Ave., New York City
nodded agreement. "They are not
self-disciplined," he said. "For ex-
ample, when they come in here, each
will try to edge in front of the others
to tell his story first, but once
ordered to do something, they follow
orders."
Only about five per cent of the
11,000 civilians now, in Aachen will
admit to Nazi party membership.
No high Nazi officials were found
among those who chose to stay here
rather than follow German orders
to evacuate before the Americans
arrived. The highest Nazi who re-
mained was subsecretary in a local
branch of the party. His was the job
of notifying Nazis of war casualties
in their families.

Bologna, occupied the road junction
of Modigliana nine miles south of the
city without a fight. They also
gained up to a mile the past 24 hours

it fiercely for a week. Allied troops
who burst into the town yesterday
were surprised to find it deserted,
