A TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1954 THE MICHlIGAN DAILY .. PAGE FVE Bagpipe Band, Dancing Lassies To March in Michigras Parade Receiver of a record number of prizes at Highland festivals, the Plymouth Kiltie Band, accompan- ied by the Dancing Lassies, will participate in the Michigras Par- ade to be held Friday, April 23. Considered one of the few au- thentic bagpipe bands in the coun- try and one of the best, the kiltie Band members are Scottish-born or Canadians of Scottish-descent. THE LASSIES specialize in the Highland Fling, the Sword Dance and the Irish Jig. They will ac- company the band at all. summer engagements. "The lads," as the members are called, are talented players of the bagpipe, one of the most intricate of wind instruments. Purchased in Scotland, most of the bagpipes have four reeds, one of which is the chanter, resemb- ling an oboe. It plays the mel- ody. The other pipes, the drones, also have reeds and produce the continuously low, or bass tones. This year the band has a new dress. Formerly, the lads wore the MacKenzie tartan kilts of the Sea- Booth Chairmen The booth committee chair- men for Michigras will meet at 7:15 p.m. today in the Michi- gras Office, basement of the Union. forth Highlanders, a famous Scot- tish regiment. This year students will see them in bonnie Prince Charley's Royal Stuart tartans. * * * ACTUALLY, the band members represent many famous clans and regiments. Pipe Major William McDougall and Pipe Sergeant Rob- ert Laidlov were members of the Essex Scottish-Regiment during World War II and were captured in the gallant raid on Dieppe by Canadian troops. Drummer Dave Dempster served in the Gordon Highland- ers during World War I, and George Glass was a member of the Black Watch regiment. Leader of the band this year is William Ramsay. He was born in Scotland and came to the United States 35 years ago. "The:, ylads and lassies," em- ployees of an automobile corpor- ation, play and dance on week- ends and when they can be spared 1 from their jobs. HOOT MON!-An added attraction in the Michigras parade to be held at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, April 23, will be the Dancing Lassies. These "Scotch Misses" will accompany the Plymouth Kiltie Band, which has received numerous prizes at highland festivals. Union Opera Star Appears On Paul Whiteman's Show Faculty Panel To Provide Job Guidance "Value of Humanties" To Inaugurate League Career Conferences Five University faculty members will participate in a panel discus- sion at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the League in the first of a series of League-sponsored career confer- ences. On the panel to discuss the sub- ject "Value of Humanities in Earn- ing a Living," will be Prof. Mar- vin Felheim, on the English de- partment; Prof. Edgar Willis, of the speech department; Prof. Otto Graf, of the language department; Prof. Howard Ehrmann, of the his- tory department and Miss Mildred Webber, of the Bureau of Ap- pointments. * M STUDENTS will learn from the panel what types of jobs are of- fered in the various fields of the Humanities, and then Miss Web- ber will tie the discussion together by giving specific job opportunities available to graduates. After the panel discussion, the students will split up into four groups dealing with speech, his- tory, English and languages. Each of the groups will be head- ed by one of the four professors participating in the panel dis- cussion. Included in each of the groups will also be graduates working in the field who will give an account of their personal experiences in their jobs and offer advice and suggestions to students participat- ing in the sections. * * * ALL THE students in the groups will be able to ask the professors and graduates who are active in the four fields any specific ques- tions they may have. This conference, and the ones succeeding it, will offer help and guidance to juniors and seniors who are interested in knowing what specific jobs they can expect in their fields after graduation, and to freshmen and sophomores who still are not sure of their majors and might be helped by in- formation about specific 'job op- portunities. The idea for these conferences grew' out of suggestions made at the League Workshop this fall for some type of career guidance for women in the University. Recognizing the fact that many women come to the University and take a liberal arts course without knowing exactly what phase "of work they intend to go into, the group set out to provide a chance for them to learn more about job opportunities in specific fields.

CHICAGO COLLEGE OF OPTOMETRY 1851-C Larrabee Street Chicago 14, Illinois By ROZ SHLIMOVITZ Sunday was not an ordinary day for Earl Sayer '57. Although he left his room in South Quadrangle early in the morning and returned in the eve- ning, a natural procedure, during the interim, he had traveled ap- proximately 1200 miles and had appeared on a coast to coast tele- vision program. * s * SUNDAY night Sayer, who had a leading role in Union Opera and was recently tapped for Mimes Honorary, appeared on the Paul Whiteman talent show originating from Philadelphia, Pa. In his Irish tenor style, he sang "Londonderry Air." His au- dience in "Club 600" included a rooting section of Taylor House men who hissed the other con- testants and made a recording of his number.

State St. Since 1908 Phone N08-7177 Whiteman was extremely con- cerned with the personal welfare of each program contestant, the Detroit student remarked. Sayer expressed further delight at the verbal compliment paid him by the orchestra leader who said, "You sang very well." « * « MOST OF THE TIME, between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Sunday, was spent rehearsing, Sayer said. He had no intention of ap- pearing on the show. In fact when his mother mentioned she had signed him up for an audi- tion in Detroit, he was not sure what it was for, and further- more did not plan to waste a Monday evening. When an Ann Arbor friend of- fered him a ride, however, he de- cided to keep the appointment. * * * Since he was one of approxi- mately 2600 who auditioned throughout the country, Sayer was surprised to receive the good news on a long distance phone call from Philadelphia. This was merely the first of a long series of calls from New York and the Quaker City. Most of Sayer's previous expe- rience consisted of choir sing- ing. "I have been in one since a little kid," he said. He also stud- ied at the Detroit Conservatory of Music for about one-half year and for a time was member of the Detroit Opera Guild. First semester he appeared on television stations in Cleveland and Detroit doing advance pub- licity for Union Opera. While Sayer's ultimate goal is to take part in stage musicales and make recordings, he tentatively plans to attend law school after getting his undegraduate degree in business administration.
