Revelli Reveals Tour
Planned for Spring
Transformation of the Univer-
sity's Marching Band, fresh from
Rose Bowl glory, into a concert
organization is now in process, ac-
cording to Conductor William D.
Revelli.
An estimated 104 students, both
men and women, will make up the
personnel of the Concert Band.
Of this number, approximately 70
were members of the Marching
Band which played for football
games. The remainder will in-
clude women, who are not eligible
for the Marching Band, and stu-
dents whose instruments are not
suited to the Marching Band.
These students have been active
in small ensemble groups.
Lively Program
A lively concert program has
been prepared for the second se-
mester and will get under ,way in
March. The band is tentatively
slated to play concerts in Three
Rivers March 19, in Niles, March
20 and in Sturgis March 21st.
March 23 has been tentatively
set as the date for the presenta-
tion of the Annual Spring Con-
cert at the University, Revelli
said.
Extensive Tour
An extensive tour covering 1,200
miles and taking in cities as far
north as the Upper Peninsula is
slated to take place during spring
vacation from , April 4 through
April 12. Concerts will be tenta-
tively held in Muskegon on May
14 and in Grand Rapids on May
15.
Next week when the Midwestern
Music Conference is held at the
University Friday and Saturday,
Jan. 16 and 17, the University
Band will take part in a reading
clinic for which they will play
approximately 40 numbers. ;

PROF. PAUL NIGGLI
... speaks here today
Snow Expert
Weathered .Big
New York Fall
Prof. Paul Niggli, the Swiss sci-
entist who will speak on "The Sci-
ence of Snow and Avalanches" at
4:15 p.m. today in the Rackham
Amphitheatre, received a timely
reminder of his topic two weeks
ago when he was caught in the
New York snow storm.
The 59-year-old professor was
unimpressed by the storm, how-
ever, since snowfalls of greater
depths are common occurrences
in Swiss cities.
Delayed by Storm
Nevertheless, the storm de-
layed Prof. Niggli's train 10 hours
en route to Ottawa, Ontario,
where he received the Washington
A. Roebling Medal from the Min-
eralogy Society of America for dis-
tinguished service in the study of
eatth sciences.
Prof. Niggli has achieved dis-
tinction in several other fields. He
has been .rector of two European
universities, has spent 19 years as
editor of a scientific journal and
has written some 15 volumes on
science, as well as numerous pa-
pers. He is a member of 20 leading
scientific societies.
Talent for Linguistics
Prof. Niggli possesses the Swiss
talent for linguistics, being fluent
in German, French,' Italian, Eng-
lish and Romansh. Commenting
on the lecturer's career, Dean
Kraus said, "He is indeed a citizen
of the world."
In his lecture Prof. Niggli will
discuss methods of predicting av-
alanches and the artificial pro-
duction of avalanches before they
become dangerous. The lecture
will be illustrated with films show-
ing avalanches in motion.

Pianist Myra
L es T Plciy in
Cioi Series
Myra Hess, distinuished Eng-
lish pianist, will present the sev-
enth in the current series of Cho-
ral Union concerts at 8:30 p.m.
tomorrow in Hill Auditorium.
Miss Hess is a great admirer
of the American people, and finds
them very appreciative of fine
music and the great classics. Con-
trary to popular belief, she finds
that it is the great classics, and
not so-called popular music which
are most appreciated and enjoyed.
She made her debut at an or-
chestral concert with Sir Thomas
Beecham, which aroused such en-
thusiasm that she was immediate-
ly engaged by leading orchestras.
Her career since that time has
been a succession of triumphs, and
in 1946 her services to music in
England and abroad was recog-
nized by the late King George V
when she was made Commander
of the Order of the British. En-
pire, a distinction never before
given to an instrumentalist.
The services rendered by Miss
Hess during the war did not go
unrecognized. In 1940, the King
conferred on her the honor of
Dame Commander of the British
Empire and in the same year she
was awarded the Gold Medal of
the Royal Philharmonic Society.
In addition she holds honorary
degrees from several universities.
Her program tomorrow will
consist of the following selections:
Adagio in G major and Toccata
in D major, Bach; Drei Klavier-
stucke, Schubert; Sonata, Op. III,
Beethoven; and Albumblatter
(from Bunte Blatter, Op. 99) and
Carnival, Schumann.

Prospective February graduates
may purchase Graduation An-
nouncements early next week,
Penny Klausner chairman of the
Announcement committee dis-
closed yesterday.
There will be no graduating ex-
ercises in February, she added, be-
cause University officials feel that
the small number of student grad-
uating would make it impractical
and not worth the expense.
