Red Feather
Kickoff Set
For Monday
Local Mystery
Slogan Revealed
Tb%"What is 12?" signs all ov-
er the campus are no longer a
mystery-they mean "12 dollars,
for 12 agencies, for 12 months,"
the slogan of Ann Arbor's Com-
munity Chest drive which begins
Monday.
The explanation for the mystery
signs came last night from Mrs.
Cecila Craig, Comcunity Chest
secretary for the Ann Arbor area.
This message, surmounted by
Cecila Craig, Community Chest
al symbol of the Red Feather, is
being sent to employee, fraternal,
University, and citizen groups
throughout Ann Arbor, this week
in preparation for the drive.
THE UNIVERSITY is expected
to play a large part in achieving
the drive's goal of $136,566, since
its share of the coming campaign
is set at $22,000. Last year the
University over - subscribed its
quota, although the over-all drive
fell short of its goal.
The twelve agencies which
pool their fund-raising efforts
in the Red Feather drive in-
clude many which are of parti-
cular benefit to the student
body, especially married couples
and those with younger children.
Of service to all students is the
visiting nurse service which is par-
tially maintained by Red Feather
funds.
THE LOCAL campaign is part
of a nationwide plan to raise ap-
proximately $190 million for Red
Feather activities.
The plan was adopted five years
ago in Ann Arbor and has proven
very effective since its inception.
The combination of efforts, has
benefited both public and agen-
cies alike, according to Mrs. Craig.
The Ann Arbor drive kicks off
at 7:30 p.m. Monday with a gi-
ant rally in Hill Auditorium
which will feature the selectioh
of "Miss Red Feather," reign-
ing queen for the two week cam-
paign.
The beauty contest will be well
supported by a number of other
acts: Sugar Chile Robinson, child
pianist, University students Adele
Hager and Beverly Olszynski, and
the Ann Arbor High School Band.
There will be no admission
charge and there will be no solici-.
tation of funds at the rally.

for furniture makers will be held
today and tomorrow on the Uni-
versity campus.

ence under the sponsorship of the

clude Dean Samuel T. Dana of the

1817 DATE CALLED CORRECT BY OFFICIALS:

'U' Seal Remains Object of Dispute
By VERNON EMERSON
Controversy rages on as to
which date should be on the of-
ficial seal of the University.
At last count most official
sources said 1817. But some of the
emblems are still inscribed, "Uni-
versity of Michigan-1837."
These designs, however, are in

fact rarities. Official documents
of the University and most pen-
nants and notebooks now are
stamped 1817.
And now it appears that the
Board of Regents gives its full ap-
proval to the earlier date.
Frank Robbins, assistant to
the president and an authority
on University history, pointed
out that although the Board
voted in 1928 to accept 1837 as
the organization date of the
institution, it reversed itself six
months later and set the date
twenty years earlier.

write to him asking if they haven't
got a valuable rarity.
Robbins himself would just as
soon see the old Minerva seal put
back into use. "The 'present seal
contains too many trite symbols."
The Minerva emblem was offi-
cial for more than 50 years before
it was replaced with the present

MINERVA-SOME WANT HER BACK
* . * .' ., e
The confusion arose from dis-
cussion about the date that the
University really began to func-
tion, Robbins explained. Alumni
groups, including a special his-
torical research committee, de-
manded that 1817 was correct.
That was the year that the
Catholepistemiad, University of
Michigania, was set up.
But the Regents argued that
really the school did not assume
its present nature for a score of
years when it was moved to Ann
Arbor.
They held out against alumni
pressure until 1929 when they fi-
nally accepted 1817 as the found-
ing date.
Due to the mixup many people
don't know yet that 1817 is the
official date. Robbins said that
every year people receive em-
blems bearing that date, and

Lamp of Knowledge in 1895. It
remained the seal for diplomas
until 1936.
Because of the similarity in
design between the University's
Minerva and one in Noah Web-
ster's spelling book, some au-
thorities feel that it was done
away with in favor of the pre-
sent seal.
So it appears that the topic of
the University's seal will be a con-
troversial one for a while to come
-in spite of the Board of Regents
or any other official opinion.

Two Concerts
To Be Given
By Orchestra
For the second straight year the
famed Boston Symphony Orches-
tra will present two concerts in
Hill Auditorium under the au-
spices of the University Musical
Society.
Conducted by Charles Munch,
who succeeded to the post vacated
by the retirement of Serge Kous-
sivitsky, the orchestra will play
an all Beethoven program for the
Choral Union Series at 8:30 p.m.
Sunday.
The "Overture to 'Fidelio',"
Beethoven's First Symphony and
the "Eroica" will comprise the
concert.
The second performance, which
will be presented as part of the
Extra Concert Series at 8:30 p.m.
Wednesday, will include Handel's
"Suite from the 'Fireworks' Mu-
sic," Brahm's Fourth Symphony,
Debussy's " 'La Mer,' Trois Es-
quisses Symphoniques" and Rous-
sel's "Racchus et Ariane Ballet."
The two appearances by the
Boston Symphony duplicates the
concert schedule of last year which
allowed both sets of ticket holders
the chance to hear"what many
critics regard as the best Ameri-
can orchestra. Last year was the
first time in Choral Union history
that a major orchestra was in-
vited to perform twice during the
same season.
The Boston Symphony has ap-
peared annually in Ann Arbor
since 1930 and on numerous oc-
casions since 1899. Munch's first
appearance in Ann Arbor was in
1948 when he conducted the
French National Philharmonic.
CRITICAL KIDS:
Public School Audience

Bach and Beethoven had noth-
ing to do with it.
"The Man Who Invented Mu-
sic," as more than 3,000 grade and
high school students discovered
yesterday afternoon, was the
grandfather of a certain little girl.
Written by Don Gillis, the de-
tails of just how this remarkable
feat was accomplished provided
the audience of the Young People's
Concert with an engaging piece
of music.
* * *
ALONG WITH "The Man Who
Invented Music" the University
Symphony Orchestra, under the
baton of Wayne Dunlap, presented
a program of Mendelssohn, Tchai-
kovsky, and Saint-Saens in their
annual concert devoted to bring-
ing fine yet entertaining music to
young people.
I
Since their inauguration five
years ago by the music staffs
of the Ann Arbor Public Schools
these concerts have met with
enthusiastic acclaim from both
young and old.
"They have to be good," ex-
plained Mr. Dunlap, "for we have
in these kids the severest critics
of any year. They are extremely
honest and you're sure to know
it if the program starts to lag."
THE AUDIENCES are com-
posed of students from public
schools all around the Ann Arbor
area.
Every year the orchestra re-
ceives about 50 letters from their
youthful admirers. And as one
seven year old girl expressed it,
"These concerts are exceedingly
fine in their performance."
'Silver Whistle'
To Open Here
The Ann Arbor Civic Players
will present "The Silver Whistle"
at 8 p.m. tomorrow and Saturday
at the Lydia Mendelssohn Thea-
tre.
The show which played on
Broadway two years ago originally
starred Jose Ferrer. All of the
play's action takes place in an old
people's home.
Tickets are priced at $1.00 for
the main floor and $.60 for the
balcony.
