WHEN SITTING IT OUT :
Local Songstresses Reveal
'tioughts While on PodiUmIl
By JIM JACKOWSKI
"Just what does a gal vocalist
think about while she's sitting
apart on the bandstand between
vocals?"
Strangely enough, two girls
singing with local orchestras of-
fered almost identical answers to
this intriguing question.
Jackie Ward, songstress with
Tom McNall's band, explained,
"You think about a lot of things,
mostly about the people who are
dancing in front of you and what
they're thinking about. Also, you
Educators Ask
Well Rounded
us. Ad. Mei
Business men in the field and
educators at Michigan are agreed
that Business Administration
graduates have difficulty express-
ing themselves either on paper or
before an audience.
The criticism was affirmed by
Business men attending the Ac-
counting Employers' Conference
here last week.
Richard S. Claire told the con-
ference that "We need more busi-
ness men and fewer technicians.
College students specializing in ac-
counting or other areas of busi-
ness practice need a good founda-
tion of general education."
"We need," he said, "men who
can write concisely and smooth-
ly."
The School of Business Admin-
istration is well aware of the sit-
uation, according to Prof. Leo
Schmidt, accounting instructor
who supervised the conference.
Prof. Schmidt told the Daily
that "the criticism is one which
we receive quite often-that stud-
ents are unable to express them-
selves in writing and on their
feet."
"It may be due to the fact that
from grammar school on, the writ-
ing instruction is poor,"
Prof. Dorothy Gre6nwalt who
teaches the only writing courses
offered on the Business Adminis-
tration school curriculum, "Bus-
iness Letter Writing" and "Report
Writing," said in an interview
that "the real responsibility lies
with the individual."
"He has to recognize the im-
portance of writing. The Business
school requirements permit him to
elect courses outside, and many
do take speech and English
courses. Also, six hours of English
are required for entrance."
Center Will Teach
Opinion Poll Class
Methods of conducting public
opinion and attitude surveys will
be taught in a special four-week
summer session at the University,
July 19 to August 13.
The session, to be conducted by
the Survey Research Center, will
include introductory and ad-
vanced courses in survey research
and sampling methods.
try to keep your mind on the key
of the numbers coming up"
Marge Ann, vocalist with Frank
Tinker's orchestra, put it this way,
"Quite frequently I think of the
music. I watch the people and the
lovely gowns."
Asked about the influence of
popular vocalists on her style,
Miss Ward, a University second-
semester freshman, said, "You
try not to imitate anyone. You
try to develop a style of your
own.''
Marge Ann, who is not a stu-
dent and commutes to and from
Flint for her vocal chores, agreed
with this. However, both girls ex-
pressed a great deal of admira-
tion for popular songstress Sarah
Vaughan. Both were enthusiastic
in praising their respective or-
chestras, too.
As an afterthought, Marge Ann
added, "I wish the point could be
stressed that a girl vocalist is try-
ing to create a mood, to put the
meaning of a song, its story,
across."
In this respect, both girls
seemed to be doing right well.
