THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1950 I I 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. Furniture Makers To MeetToday The Cost Accounting Conference for furniture makers will be held today and tomorrow on the Uni- versity campus. T h e business administration school is presenting the confer- ence under the sponsorship of the National Association of Furniture Manufacturers. Speakers on the program in- clude Dean Samuel T. Dana of the School of Natural Resources, and Prof. Robert L. Dixon and Dean Russel A. Stevenson, both of the business administration school. YR's Meet Tonight Alvin M. Bentley, '40, former member of the United States dip- lomatic corps, will speak at a Young Republican meeting at 7:30 p.m. today at the Union. 1817 DATE CALLED CORRECT BY OFFICIALS: 'I'll '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 - * f '37 RARITY * * * 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.

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 '17 FAVORITE * * * 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.

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 Hears 'U' Symphony 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. FR IDAY CONTINUOUS FROM 1 P.M.
