WUOM Presents
Major Concerts
One of the University's out-
standing public-service programs
Is the operation of a 44,000 watt,
University-owned FM radio sta-
tion with transmitter tower at1
Peach Mountain outside Ann Ar-
bor.
The purpose of the University
of Michigah Broadcasting Service,
organized in 1925, is to provide
programs designed in the public
interest.
* a *
MANY OF ITS programs are re-
corded and rebroadcast through-j
out Michigan. During the last year
letters from listeners indicated
that WUOM programs were be-
ing heard in 155 Michigan cities
and towns.
WUOM regularly schedules in-
formative programs made avail-
able by various nations and in-
ternational organizations.
In addition to broadcasting all
major concerts by University mu-
sical organizations such as the
Band, Glee Clubs, Choir, Sym-
phony, Little Symphony, antStan-
ley Quartet, the station has also
presented broadcasts of three Gil-
bert and Sullivan Operas, "The
Messiah," and the complete Un-
ion Opera. Listening is pure pleas-
ure, as WUOM carries no com-
mercial announcements.
SPEECH DEPARTMENT pro-
grams regularly broadcastyover
'WUOM and then relayed to
WHRV and other Michigan sta-
tions include Anell Hall Play-
house,, Radio Workshop drama
series, and Down Storybook Lane,
a children's program presented
five days per week.
For television there is a coaxial
cable from Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre in the League to the top
of Burton Tower where a relay
transmitter may be installed to
send programs to Detroit TV
transmitters. Preparations are now
being made to occupy what was
formerly the Dolph Funeral Home
In Ann Arbor for, a television
studio.
MVen's Glee
Club Oldest,
Bans est at 'U'
The oldest musical organization
on campus, the Men's Glee Club,
is also one of the busiest groups
at the University.
Last year the club made ten
out-of-state trips, traveling 4,500
miles, and presenting over 30 con-
certs. The high point of the sea-
son was a 2,000 mile eastern tIur
which included concerts in New
York, Philadelphia, Washington,
Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
FIRST ON ITS crowded calen-
dar for the coming year will be
the joint concert with the Glee
Club of Cornell University on the
night of the Cornell-Michigan
football -game Nov. 8.
The Glee Club is also planning
an extensive tour through the
mid-west between semesters and
another eastern trip during the
spring vacation where they will
appear on Ed Sullivan's coast-
to-coast television show, "Toast
of the Town."
A student managed, self -per-
petuating organization, the Club is
under the direction of Prof. Philip
Duey of the Music School who
came to the University after a
distinguished career as a profes-
sional singer.

All men who like to sing can
attend one of the tryout sessions
held every evening during the first
week of classes in Rm. 3-G of the
Michigan Union.

It was nearly six years ago that
the Student Legislature went on
record as favoring a "functional
war memorial to the World War
II dead, thus laying the seed for
the Phoenix Memorial Research
Project.
In the wake of the war, the
Project was conceived as a living
tribute to its heroes, dedicated to
the study of peace-time potentials
and implications of atomic en-
ergy.
The Phoenix name comes from
the Phoenix bird of ancient Egyp-
tian mythology which was said to
fly into the flames of its altar
every 549 years, there to be con-
sumed acid then to rise again, re-
newed and rejuvenated from the
ashes.
a a *
IT WAS almost nine months
after the initial SL resolution was
passed before the memorial idea
was given official sanction. Then,
in' September, 1947 the University
Regents named a faculty-student
War Memorial Committee.
A month later they had adopt-
ed the suggestion of prominent
alumnus Fred J. Smith, a New
York publisher who proposed
the research be devoted to the
study of atomic potential in the
realm of peaceful activity.
By May of 1948 the inevitable

Washington red tape had been
cut, and with final Regents' ap-
proval, the road was cleared for
the Project's emergence.
* a * .
PHOENIX head, Dean Ralph.A.
Sawyer, of the graduate school,
and his staff began in 1949 on a
borrowed operating budget of
$25,000. In that year Phoenix
granted a total of $6,400 to in-
dividual researchers to explore
various atomic areas.
Since that time, however, the
operating budget has jumped
more than $100,000 with last
year's individual research grants
totaling $72,000.
This has come about with the
aid of an immense general fund
campaign, the first in University
history, held in 1950 and 1951
which has raised to date approx-
imately six million dollars.
About one o one and a half
million dollars of this money will
be used to build a memorial lab-
oratory building on the Univer-
sity's new North Campus,
The new structure 'will house
the University's two large "atom
busting" machines and biological
research activities that use ra-
diation too powerful to be per-
sued in campus buildings.
* a a
ONE AND A half million dol-

lars of Phoenix funds has come
from the General Motors Cgrpora-
tion to support an Institute of In-
dustrial Health for the study of
present-day health problems in
industry.
Phoenix Project money is also
supporting isotope research in
five different colleges and one
research institute and through
one large, in'terdepartmental re-
search project on plant growth.
With the help of the fund of
over $100,000 contributed in mem-
ory of Dean Alice Crocker Lloyd,
the Project is about to enter the
cancer research field.
This may perhaps be brought
about by providing space for an
Atomic Energy Commission pro-
ject concerned with a compari-
tive study of artificial radio-
active sources of radiation and
X-rays in cancer treatment.
The Project has also been car-
rying on a vast program in the
field of social sciences. Work along
this line included the past sum-
mer's Institute for the study of
the legal aspects of atomic energy
and as a grant to the University's
Institute of Public Administration
the study of the operation of the
AEC in contract relations, labor
policies and other governmental
activities.

ROLLING HILLS-Spacious, University owned Nichols Arboretum' is one of the favorite student spots for a sunburn, a long walk, or an
evening around a campfire. Close to campus, the "Arb" is the scene of much idle frolic, and the object of much stale humor. The land
in the upper left hand corner is the scene of the University's new north campus to be completed in the year 2000.

Students Live in Dorms, Co-o ps, Homes

Most University men park their
golf bags and hang their hats in
dormitory residence halls or frater-
nity houses during their four year
struggle with higher education.
But others live in student Co-
operative houses, local rooming
houses, or self-maintained apart-
ments.
DORMITORIES get the first
call because of the University rul-
ing that all freshmen must spend
one year in the Residence Halls.
The Michigan House Plan in
the dorms meets the social, fra-
ternal and athletic needs so well
that many men never move out.
Fifteen per cent of the stu-
dent body however, soon affiliate
with fraternities' through their
formal rushing periods.
Always a strong force 4n stu-
dent affairs on campus, the fra-
ternities are under the central
direction of the Inter-Fraternity
Council made up of members
from each house.
Social, activities are mixed with
acedcemic chores to provide a re
laxed tension that appeals to
many men.
FOR INEXPENSIVE living in a
close atmosphere of camaderie,
Student Co-operative offer the
best financial bargain. Room and
board 'in the six co-operative
houses averages $170 a semester,
just half the dormitory expenses.
Each member is expected to
work about five hours a week,
either planning, buying, or cook-
ing meals, washing dishes,
cleaning or stoking the furnace.

Co-op also carry out a full cal-
der of social activities throughout
the school year.
Other students choose to take a
room in one of the many Univer-

sity approved rooming houses
scattered throughout Ann Arbor.
In order to live in an apartment,
single students are required to ob-
tain speciaL permission from the
office of Student Affairs.
