This unique distinction, belongs to the University's botanical Gar- dens, where more than 18,000 dif- ferent plants are grown. A mile out Packard Road, the Gardens grow practically every type of plant from all over the world- KunitzTo Talk On Soviet Life Dr. Joshua Kunitz, authority on Russianalife and culture, will give three talks at the University to- morrow and Tuesday. The first of these will be an in- formal lecture in Russian at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in the West Lee- ture Rm., Rackham Bldg. At 7:30 p.m. tomorrow Dr. Kunitz will be the guest of Russky Kruzhok at the International Center. He will speak on "Russian Lit- erature, a Mirror of Russian Life" at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday in Kellogg Auditorium, under the auspices of the .Russian department. Dr. Kunitz's background in- cludes numerous trips to the U.S. S.R. and a series of books on Rus- sian life and letters. The latest of these are Russia: The Giant That Oame Last and a critical anthology of Russian literature. everything from rare orchids to the tomato plant. AND THEY'RE all classified into their own category, with the date and origin of collection and the name of the collector, accord- ing to Walter Kleinschmidt, super- visor of the Gardens. The University has a staff of collectors scattered all over the world who spend their time hunting for plants-new ones and old ones. All plants for botany classes and labs are grown at the Gardens. Each class sends in a list eight or nine months ahead of time and the botanists have to grow the plants to exact size, shape, and other specifications for experi- ments. THE GARDENS grow two of the largest collections of cacti and rubber plants in the country. In- cluded in the cacti group are plants from every conceivable des- ert in the world. Some cacti even come from hot, wet jungles. The irksome dandelion is considered as a rubber plant, so the gardens grow that, too. All plants coming into the United States must go through the laboratories at Washington, D.C., where they are inspected for any possible tropical or other kinds of diseases. "When we receive a plant from a different climate, we must du- plicate all its environments," Kleinschmidt commented. "Every room in the greenhouse has a dif- ferent temperature and humidity and even the soil for each plant is different. Walking from room to room is like taking a quick trip around the world. Last year we burned close to 400 tons of coal to keep our plants warm." * , * KLEINSCHMIDT'S own "prod- igy" is an orchid plant from Brit-; ish Honduras. In 1936, when he' received the plant, all he had was a bushel basket full of dried up material. But he salvaged one tiny stem one inch long and an eighth of an inch thick and planted it with faint hopes. After six I months of careful nursing the tiny morsel took root and now, 12 years later, it bears 100 healthy blossoms. "Most of the orchids we grow here are hybrid and bigger and more beautiful than wild ones. These domestic ones are the kind you might buy for your girl at anywhere from two to 10 bucks each," Kleinschmidt said. Unfortunately the orchids at the Gardens are not for sale for dat- ing purposes-only in the interest of science. By JIM BROWN The prospect of long, cold winter nights holds no fears for members' of the University Hot Record So- ciety. Every Sunday night nearly 40 members of the Society congre- gate in the Grand Rapids Room' of the League and lose themselves in ecstatic contemplation of their "hot" platters. THE GROUP was formed in the fall of 1946 when Palmer Wright, a graduate student at the Univer-' sity, advertised in The Daily that he had jazz records for sale. The response was tremendous, and be- fore he realized it he found him- self president of the Hot Record Society. The diversity of tastes in the group is almost as large as the membership. One member col- lects Ellingtonia; another has a complete collection of "Fats" Waller. Still others go in for Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong and Benny Goodman. Interest in one, however, does not preclude interest in the others, and the members listen attentive- ly to each other's programs. U. .3 THE ACTIVITIES of the club are numerous. Most of the meet- ings are devoted to record con- certs, at which members discuss various phases of the jazz world, with illustrations from their own collections. At tonight's meeting, for ex- ample, several members will trace the development of the jazz vocal styles from the Twen- ties to the present day. Once a month the club sponsors' a jam session, in which local mu- sicians, and others from as far as Lansing and Bay City, participate.j ENCOURAGED by the success of the Stan Kenton concert which it sponsored last year, the Hot Record Society has plans for a series of concerts by nationally known jazz artists this year. Under discussion at present are concerts by Louis Arm- strong, and Art Hodes, with Sid- ney Bechet and Muggsy Span- ier. Duke Ellington has been scheduled tentatively for this spring. The group has also taken the lead in attempting to form a na- tional Hot Record Society. Tonight's meeting will be held in the League at 8 p.m. The public is invited.
