By ROMA LIPSKY
Paul Doktor, faculty member of
the University's Music School, will
be the featured viola soloist at the
first concert of the newly-formed
Detroit Little Symphony orchestra
at 8:15 p.m. Thursday in the De-
troit Art Institute.
The 30 member Little Sym-
phony, a chamber music ensemble,
is composed of members of the
Detroit Symphony.
They will present music often
overlooked by large symphonies,
and are experimenting with the
unique devise of playing without
a conductor, Doktor said.
"THE LITTLE SYMPHONY will
be a permanent organization no
matter what the directors and
sponsors of the regular Detroit or-
chestra decide to do about the
city's regular symphony next
year," he added.
Pointing out the advantages of
conductor-less playing in a
small group, Doktor explained
that it will enable the audience
to- enjoy the work of each in-
dividual player,
sometimes miss by
on the conductor.
which they
concentrating
This technique is best suited
to a chamber orchestra, which is
actually an enlarged string quar-
tet, he said.
"But of course it means that
the players have to be excellent
and very familiar with chamber
playing."

IN THURSDAY'S concert, Dok-
tor will be featured in Hoffmeis-
ter's "Concerto for Viola and Or-
chestra," a work which he edited
and played in its American pre-
miere in Ann Arbor a few weeks
ago, and Marais' "Suite of French
Dances."
The program also includes
Mozart's Symphony No. 35
("Hoffner"), Ravel's "Tombeau
de y Couperin" and Rossinni's
overture to "La Scala di Seta."
Tickets, many of which are half-
priced for students, are on sale
in Ann Arbor at the Music Center.

Baldwin ...
A student-centered program is
the main objective of the work
at Lane Hall for nexty ear, ac-
cording to DeWitt C. Baldwin,
newly appointed director of Lane
Hall.
"In assuming directorship, I in-
tend first of all to develop work
according to initiative and lead-
ership of students," Baldwin said.
"I HOPE THAT Lane Hall de-
velops into a religious center where
students may have practical ex-
periences in applying religion to
campus life," Baldwin continued.
He explained that these ob-
jectives will be carried out in
seven departments set up in the
SRA. Departments planned are
social action, public relations,
social and recreational, inter-
cultural, study and discussion,
relief, and out-state.
Baldwin, program director of
the SRA since September, is also
known as the founder and na-
tional director of Lisle Fellow-
ship, a student program in inter-
national living.
BEFORE COMING to Ann Ar-
bor, Baldwin served as Student
Secretary for the Board of Mis-
sions of the Methodist church.
In 1923 Baldwin and his wife
went to Rangoon, Burma as edu-
cational missionaries. While
there he served as pastor of the
English - speaking Methodist
church and district superinten-
dent for Indian-speaking Meth-
odist work.
Baldwin also acted as chaplain
for the nonconformist British
troops and worked with college
student groups in Burma.

When we talk about our Ameri-
can system, we're talking about
something more productive, more
promising, more thrilling than any
system the world has ever seen.
And we're strong because we en-
joy the unique combination of qual-
ities that make our nation the most
productive of any country on earth.
Why?
First, because we've built our
whole system on a solid faith and
belief in the dignity of the in-
dividual.
Out of our belief in the dignity
of the individual has evolved the
wonderful pattern of America. Our
policy of free markets and free
collective bargaining. Our belief in
competition. Our adherence to the
principle of constantly better qual-
ity at consistently lower cost.
Our emphasis on research-on
invention-on new and better
methods.
Our faith in the future and our
desire ever to advance-ever to
improve the lot of everybody, re-
gardless of race, creed or c'olor.
These-in corn.bination-are
America. And nowhere else in the
world is there such a combination
--that's your U.S.A. Let's keep it
this way. Sure our system has its
faults-but in correcting those, and
with even better teamwork, the
future is unlimited.
