Hillel Group
Opens Drive for
Membership
Goal Is Set at 100
Per Cent Enrollment
A one-week membership drive aim-
ed at 100 percent membership of Jew-
ish students to the B'nai Brith Hillel
Foundation chapter at this Univer-
sity begins today under the direction
of Judy Jacobs, Dave Loetvenberg and
Betty Ginzberg.
Membership to the Hillel Founda-
tion has been constantly increasing,
approximately 80 percent of the Jew-
ish students on campus joined last
year. This year, membership is ex-
pected to reach a new high, directors
of the drive hinted.
The Hillel Foundation at Michigan
is the first of 118 college chapters to
have bought and paid completely for
their own house, known nationally as
one of the largest and most com-
pletely equipped.
The Foundation is a functioning
democracy in spirit and practice, all
student activities originating with
and controlled by a 25-member, an-
nually elected, student council. The
student council formulates policies
and translates them itno action
through some 20 committees, each
headed by one or more council mem-
bers and a student director.
In addition to various war activi-
ties, the Foundation sponsorsasuch
varied activities as Friday evening
religious services, holiday services,
dances, such as the popular "Mixer"
which last Saturday drew more than
400 students, cost suppers, bridge
tournaments, study group classes,
newspaper activities, record concerts,
dramatics, forensics and photo-
graphy.
,A rack, in the foyer contains about
25 nationally distributed magazines
and newspapers that are currently
received by the Foundation.
Progress of the membership drive,
which has been divided into several
sections, will be recorded on a chart
in the Foundation.
The three main divisions of the
drive and their leaders are the soror-
ity, fraternity, league houses division
under Sonya Heller; co-operative
house division under Edythe Levin;
and men's and women's dormitories
under Zena Etkin. Judy Jacobs is
in charge of soliciting for indepen-
dent men and women.

"Music is one of the few things
that have survived in the Nazi domi-
nated countries," George Szell, guest
conductor of the Cleveland Orches-
tra, stated in an interview after the
concert Sunday night.

scores, and killed the musicians, but

Oratorical Association series at 8:30
p.m. Thursday.
Sale of season tickets will close
Thursday and those desiring the
series are urged to obtain tickets-now.

Bryan, and Oliver Wendell Holmes.
The series this year begins with

dent of the League of Nations Assem-
bly on "How To Win the Peace,"
Nov. 22; Lillian Gish, "From Holly-

they have not and never will be able
to kill the love for music in the
hearts of the people, he said.
"Will music be revived in the con-
quered countries? I can only say
that it will be one of the first arts to
be revived. When people are happy,
there is music in their hearts and
they will sing it and listen to it," he
added.
Mr. Szell left Czechoslovakia in
1937 to direct the Scottish Sym-
phony. When he completed his sea-
son in Scotland he went to The
Hague to direct the symphony or-
chestra there. From The Hague he
went on an international tour to
Australia, and the United States. He
was in this country when the war
broke out, and has remained here
since then.
He now has his first citizenship
papers, and says, "I can hardly wait
for the day when I will be able to call
myself a citizen of these United
States."
"This is not my first trip to the
United States. I was here in the
early part of 1930 and directed the
St. Louis Symphony,
"The audience tonight was just
marvelous, and I can say the same
for the 'hall. I haven't seen very
much of Ann Arbor itself, but what
I have seen has impressed me very
much. I have enjoyed every minute
of my stay here, and hope that I
can come back again some day," he
concluded.
