Choral Union
To Present Its
67th Messiah
In presenting Handel's Messiah
every Christmas season, the Uni-
versity's Choral Union carries on
a tradition founded in 1879 when
the organization was formed by
several Ann Arbor choirs to pre-
sent the Christmas oratorio.
Since that time, when mem-
bers of the chorus sang the solo
parts and the performances were
given in local churches, the pre-
sentation has expanded to in-
clude a special orchestra, New
York soloists who have made spe-
cialties of Messiah roles and an
Organist, in addition to the 300
voice chorus.
This year's presentation, which
will be under the direction of
Cardin Van Deursen,dwill be the
first to be given twice. 'The per-
formances have been scheduled
at 8:30 p.m. Saturday and at 3
p.m. Sunday because of the heavy
student enrollment.
Tickets for the presentation,
which will include Lura Stover,
soprano: Eilleen Law, contralto;
Ralph Lear, tenor and Alden Ed-
kins, bass, are still on sale in the
University Musical Society's of-
fices, Burton Memorial Tower.

college and the Detroit Institute

Intercollegiate Director of the
AYD said yester'day.
If established, an American Un-
ion of Students, could work to-
ward obtaining free higher edu-
cation, stronger and more demo-
cratic student government and
abolishment of quota systems and
other curtailments of academic
freedom according to Marsh.
Such services as an intercollegi-
ate press service and cooperation
with the International Union of
Students could be offered by such
a national group, he continued.
To Discuss Plans
At the Chicago conference, the
advisability of creating such an
organization will be discussed and
a constitutional conference will be
held at a later date, Marsh ex-
plained.
Four panels will be held during
the preparatory conference. These

ations Committee, the organiza-
tion of the prospective national
union, student needs and responsi-
bilities in international student
affairs and aims and activities of
the organization.
Officers and members of the
continuations committee will be

conference. The formation of the
constitution will then be carried
out by these officers before the

spokesman, "but after dinner the
faculty will be in for a rough
time with no holds barred."
Faculty members who attend the
banquet are forced to answer
questions put to them by the stu-
dents to the best of their ability.
The questions are not of a serious
or technical nature; they have
been described as "frivolous" by
faculty spokesmen.
