THE GLEE CLUB'S next activ-
ity is the sponsoring of a concert
by Wayne King and his orchestra
on Nov. 5 in Hill Auditorium. This
is the first in a series of programs
being sponsored by the Club with
the proceeds going to help restore
the Glee Club Award Fund.
The Glee Club is following the
policy which was started three
years ago when they sponsored
Fred Waring and used the pro-
ceeds to set up the Award Fund.
The Club plans to bring Waring
to the campus later this year, but
wanted to get under way early so
they contracted the Wayne King
organization for an appearance
here first.
FEATURED WITH "The Waltz
King" will be Nancy Evans, Harry
Hall, The Don Large Chorus, The
Meadowlarks, The Grenadiers, and
The Quintones.
The program will include Victor
Herbert favorites, and many other
familiar and listenable melodies.
EXT

THIS IS THE FIRST time that
the Boston Symphony has played
two performances in Ann Arbor,
although the orchestra has ap-
peared here for the past 18 years,
and on many other occasions since
1890.
The Symphony was developed
and made famous during the 25,
year conductorship of its noted
leader, Serge Koussevitsky, who
was known for his willingness to
play works of contemporary
composers, as well as those of
the Masters.
He was also noted for his
method of seating both first and
second violins together. (Violin
sections are conventionally seated
separately.)
* * *
KOUSSEVITSKY, whose retire-
ment became official only this
month, took over the orchestra in
1924, and made its renditions of
both classical and modern music
world-renowned.
Muench, who appeared in Ann
Arbor last season with the French
National Orchestra, has declared
that in addition to retaining the
Symphony's seating arrangement,
he also intends to maintain its
musical tradition.
A few seats for the concerts are
still available, and may be pur-
chased at the Choral Union of-
fices, Burton Tower.

Prof. Crosby
To Give First
Peet Lecture
Prof. Elizabeth C. Crosby of the
anatomy department will deliver
the first annual Max M. Peet lec-
ture at 4 p.m. today in the Univer-
sity Hospital amphitheater.
The new lecture series was
founded in honor of the late Dr.
Peet, former chief of the depart-
ment of neurosurgery at Univer-
sity Hospital, by the doctors who
received their training under his
directions..
THE DOCTORS have provided
sponsorship for an annual lecture
for a period of ten years.
Prof. Crosby will lecture on
"The Application of Neuronana-
tomical Data to the Diagnosis of
Selected Neurological and Neu-
rosurgical Cases."
Future lecturers will be promi-
nent workers in the fields of neu-
rology, neurosurgery or the allied
basic science fields.
Radio Panel Will
Feature Dr. Coller
Dr. Frederick A. Coller, chair-
man of the Department of Surgery
in the School of Medicine, will
take part in a radio discussion of
"Surgery in the News" over a
Chicago radio station today.
Lord Webb-Johnson, of London,
England, past-president of the
Royal College of Surgery of Eng-
land, also will participate. The
programswill be heard at 6:15 p.m.
over station WBBM.
Dr. Coller was recently inducted
as president of the American Col-
lege of Surgeons, currently meet-
ing in Chicago.

uncovers fresh evidence in "Boom-

7:30 and 9:30 p.m. today and to-

"Boomerang" is the story of an
honest lawyer who seeks the ac-
quittal of a man suspected of
murdering a priest. The Attorney,
played by Dana Andrews, investi-
gates the crime and comes to the
conclusion that the defendant is
innocent. He then tries to prove
this to the' jury.

This motion picture which is
currently playing in Prague has
been approved by Communist
critics who, dismissing the
idealistic conclusion as capital-
istic hokum, see in it a true por-
trayal of American political life,
in the spirit of "Socialist real-
ism."
The motion picture, which has
also been acclaimed by "Time," t
"Life" and "New Yorker," is based
on an actual happening in an un-
solved Bridgeport, Conn. murder
case in 1924. The state's attorney
in the story is former Attorney-
General Homer S. Cummings.

MIerchandising
Is Dfiscussed
At Conference
Businessmen in every line of the
retailing field arrived in Ann Ar-
bor yesterday for the Merchandis-
ing Conference, sponsored by the
School of Business Administration
and the University Extension Serv-
ice.'
On the agenda were short talks
covering all angles of merchan-
dising, from advertising and dis-
play to employe training pro-
grams.
MANY OF THE speakers own
small retail stores. Others de-
scribed their administrative duties
in large establishments. The Lan-
sing Chamber of Commerce was
represented by Ralph W. Toaz,
who discussed community-wide
promotion.
The conference was held to
bring together the ideas and ex-
periences of merchants from all
over the state. As one of the
participants, Vendell Lent, of
Plymouth, commented, "It's a
break for the smaller merchants
when they can get the trend of
what's happening in the larger
stores."
Another merchant, Clare Smith,
of Grand Ledge, said that every-
one got at least one new idea from
the conference. He added, "It's
important to get outside your own
town. One of- the men here re-
marked that the trouble with us
was that we never left Main
Street."
The University was represented
at the conference by Dean R. A.
Stevenson, of the School of Busi-
ness Administration, who presid-
ed at a luncheon given between
sessions of the program. Prof. Paul
W. McCracken spoke on "The
Business Outlook."

years, didn't deaden her verve. She
opened her first shop in 1942 at
Jackson, Mich.
Four years later, Miss Mar-
tin moved bag and baggage to
Ann Arbor where, she says, "the
work I offer meets so much ap-
preciation from students and
the large foreign population."
She is currently national vice-
president and state president of
the American Federation of the
Physically Handicapped. Through
this group, she says, "disabled per-
sons are made to feel that society
still needs them."
* *. *
HER SHOP HAS accepted work
from the handicapped from 48
states and three Canadian prov-
inces. She handles affairs on con-
signment - sending contributors
what they ask and affixing her
own selling price.
Arthritics and polio sufferers
submit most articles, she notes.
Amputees and the blind are next
in line. About one-fourth the
total volume comes from dis-
abled war veterans, she adds.
"Through their contributions,
it's easy to see how well vets were
taught through occupational ther-
apy programs," Miss Martin com-
ments.

TWO 400-YEAR-OLD clay fig-
ureheads, set in wood frames, are
her most prized items, she claims.
She bought them 15 years ago,
but has had little success tracing
their origin-"probably Tyrolean"
-she thinks.
A "shut-in" from Jackson will
soon send her a set of violins
he constructed from 100-year-
old wood, she declares.
Miss Martin explains that only
work from handicapped people is
accepted. And her pet peeve is the
mistaken assumption that every-
one who submits articles is blind.
Blind persons usually send con-
tributions to national rehabilita-
tion centers and publicly-owned
outlets, she says.

Press Club
To Discuss
Socialism
Atomic Energy
Also on Docket
Discussions of world issues of
vital interest to persons who read
the news as well as the editors
who interpret it will highlight the
32nd annual meeting of the Uni-
versity Press Club of Michigan
here Nov. 10-12.
Fullest day in the confab will be
Friday, Nov. 11, when two two-
hour sessions will be held.
PROF. CLARE E. GRIFFIN of
the economics department will
speak on "Report on Britain."
Griffin spent several months in
England and made a careful study
of the implications to the United
States of Britain's socialist gov-
ernment.
The afternoon session will be
devoted to the implications of
atomic energy. Three University
experts on the field will spark
the discussion.
The probable effects in science
will be presented by Dr. Robert
Pidd, nuclear physicist; on health
by Prof. Fred Hodges of the de-
partment of roentgenology; and
on our social and economic life by
Prof. William Haber of the eco-
nomic department.
* * *
FRIDAY EVENING'S session
will be announced later.
The meeting will open Thursday
with an informal tea at the Presi-
dent's home, followed by a dinner
at the Union at which President
Alexander G. Ruthven will be the
speaker.
A press clinic and business meet-
ing is scheduled for Saturday
morning and in the afternoon the
press will be guests of the Board
in Control of Intercollegiate Ath-
letics at ' the Indiana-Michigan
game.
Urge Check
f Solicitors
For their own protection, stu-
dent housing groups should re-
quest solicitors to show Better
Business Bureau registration
cards, cautioned Lou Wirbel, BBB
chairman.
Meanwhile, Wirbel reminded all
solicitors to register with the stu-
dent Legislature operated Bureau.
THE BUREAU is open from 4
to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday
at the Office of Student Affairs,
Wirbel said. Solicitors who regis-
ter must agree to comply with
BBB regulations, which can be
obtained at the office, he added.
"A staff of investigators will
study complaints against out-
side solicitors," Wirbel promised.
Cards of those who violate the
regulations will be revoked, he
added.
In order to warn students of ir-
responsible business concerns, a
"blackball" list of solicitors who
have not complied with rule will
be publicized if necessary, Wirbel
said.
The hoatzin, an odd-looking
plumed bird of South America,
sometimes unflatteringly called

the "stinkbird," is one of the few

Graduating engineers will feel
the pinch of fewer jobs this year,
but the percentage of students
who will find employment is still
high according to Engineering
College faculty members.
"The tapering off of job open-
ings for mechanical engineers can
be explained by the return to
peacetime production after the
war and post-war industrial ex-
pansion," Prof. Ranson Hawley of
mechanical engineering said.

lished by the University Pediatrics
and Infectuous Disease Society in
honor of. Dr. Cowrie who founded
the society in 1922.

normally large groups of gradu-
ates, he added.
"The engineering student
should not be discouraged by the
increased competition in em-
ployment, as there are still many
jobs to be had in engineering
andeallied fields," Hawley con-
tinued.
Character and personality are
being stressed this year for engi-
neering qualifications, he said.
Companies are screening appli-
cants for the ones with best lead-
ership qualities and those who can
work best with their colleagues,
he added.
PROF. DONALD KATZ of
chemical engineering said that the
employment situation this year
should be better than any time
since last spring.
In aeronautical engineering,
Prof. Emerson Conlon said that
the approval by Congress of a
58 group airforce should in-
crease aircraft production and
hence increase the demand for
aeronautical engineering gradu-
ates, but the job situation will
still be more difficult this year.
Conlon, added that government
jobs would take some aeronautical
engineers.
PROF. LOUIS BAIER of marine
engineering said that he expect,;l
fewer jobs for naval engineers this
year.
However, a large scale overhaul-
ing of Great Lakes ships is being
conducted any many war-surplus
vessels are being converted to
peace-time use, which should al-
leviate the situation somewhat, he
pointed out.
