Many old pipes are being revoic- ed and some new pipes are being added. "We are trying to retain the character of the old organ," University organist Robert Noeh- ren, commente. Work was started in June and is expected to be finished by March first. The reconstruction and rehabilitation contract was awarded to Aeolian Skinner Com- pany of Boston. All pipes have been removed, the entire organ is being cleaned and wind chests are being rebuilt. Thinner Material Pipes that will be replaced are made of a thinner material than the original tin-lead pipes. With a smaller diameter and thinner body, pipes will have a keener tone. Arthur Birchall, an organre- pairman from London, England, is supervising a three-man crew which is installing new pipes and chests and tuning the entire en- semble. "Temperatures from 70 to 72 degrees must be maintained in the loft for tuning purposes," Birchall said. Hays Tells Art Contest Dates Dates for the annual Michigan Union Art Contest and Exhibit were announced yesterday by Jer- ry Hays, '56, University relations committee chairman. Entries for the contest, open to all University students, may be turned in from 4 to 6 p.m. on Nov. 15, 16 and 17 at the room across from Union student offices. Hays said sculpture entries will be accepted for the first time this year, along with other art media, including oil paintings, water col- ors, drawings and prints. Judges from the fine arts de- partment, School of Architecture and Design and the Ann Arbor Art Association will award merchan- dise certificates to contest win- ners. As many entries as possible will be displayed in the Union lobby from Dec. 4 to 15, with a coffee hour scheduled for .the first Sun- day, Dec. 5. A booklet describing the entries will be published, Hays said. Full details on entrance require- ments are available at the Union' student offices, open weekday aft- ernoons from 3 to 5.R Pipes are tuned by rolling a "tuner's tongue" to a desired length across pipe openings. The tongue resembles rolled-back cov- ers of sardine cans. When work is completed in March, a new console will be in- stalled to replace the present one. "Stops on the old console don't hold," Birchall said, "and keys and internal mechanisms are worn." "Our organ is one of thelargest in America," Noehren noted, "and is one of the most famous Univer- sity organs in the country." Covers Four Levels The organ covers four levels in an area 50 feet high, 75 feet long and 20 feet wide. More than 7,000 pipes and 600 miles of wire are used in it. Pipes range both in tone and length. Low pitched pipes, made of wood, are as long as 32 feet and some high pitched metal pipes are less than an inch in length. A Detroit firm built the original organ which was installed at Chi- cago's Columbian Exposition in 1893. At the Exposition's conclusion, the organ 'was purchased by the University Musical Society and re- installed in University Hall the following year. While in University Hall, the or- gan was used for chapel exercises, concerts by organ soloists and by the Choral Union during its May Festivals. Moved to Hill Auditorium With Hill Auditorium's comple- tion in 1913, the instrument was moved to its present site and en- larged during its rebuilding. In 1926, the organ was again completely rebuilt, removing some of the pipes which had been worn by age. Because of changes in pipe designs and tonal qualities, only a few of the original pipes from 1893 remain. Non-speaking pipes painted ov- er the metal base form the front display of the organ. These are the only pipes left from 1893. "Intensive, daily use of the in- strument," Dean Earl V. Moore of the School of Music commented, "has necessitated the present re- building. Pipes must be revoiced and mechanical improvements must be made to bring the organj up to present-day standards." Fauri Appointed Dean Fedele F. Fauri of the School of Social Work has been appointed chairman of the Fed- eral Advisory Council on Employ- ment Security. Questioning Spearheads Resignation (Continued from Page 1) "The official argument ad- vanced by those institutions which exclude from their faculties mem- bers of the Communist party is that it deprives its members of the intellectual independence es- sential for teaching and research. If this were true, there would be no need to make a rule about it. Communist party members would be eliminated in the normal course of faculty selection." Prof. Moore admitted Marxist beliefs, and said about them, "The moral force of Marxian the- ory lies in its critique of capital- ist society in terms of the basic values of capitalist culture, its demonstration of the sacrifice of individuality to property, its ex- posure of the degradation of the three great human freedoms into the one base freedom to buy and sell." Severance Pay Given He was given $6,000 severance pay when dismissed. Following the trustee's action to dismiss him, students and fac- ulty members began a heckling campaign against Reed president Duncan S. Ballantine. They said 'the President asserted his author- ity over faculty and students. Counter-attacks from professors and students quickly developed to a point where the college's admin- istration was in the hands of the faculty council and the student government. Ballantine Resigns President Ballantine resigned in September. When he resigned he listed good and bad traditions of Reed College. The good traditions he cited as academic quality, free inquality, free inquiry and the honor system. The bad ones are, he said, domination of policy and politics by the faculty coun- cil, individual irresponsibilityand an "intransigeant arrogance" to- ward opinions of the off-campus world. When the president resigned, trustees appointed Prof. Frank Loxley Griffin, former mathemat- ics department head, to the posi- tion. Just as he was taking over the post, Justice James T. Brand, Reed College trustee and respect- ed liberal member of the Oregon State Supreme Court, also resigned from the board. Justice Brand said that atti- tudes of the dominant faculty group at Reed toward communism and toward the office of the pres- ident were the basic reasons for his decision. Szel To Conduct Concert Sunday Conducted by George Szell, the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra will appear at 8:30 p.m. Sunday in Hill Auditorium.

Rackham gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays. 'ARMS AND MAN': Gistirak To Replace Andrews In Latest Arts Center P'lay By LOUISE TYOR Although American universities offer a much broader education, European schools offer more in- tensified learning, Prof. Erich Hyl- la, director of the Institute for In- ternational Educational Research in Frankfort,. Germany, said here yesterday. "We are more rigorous in what we request from our students," he said. Prof. , Hylla also feels that European university students get a "thorough knowledge of the sub- ject matter." American schools are not as selective, he added, citing as one advantage of the American uni- versities the fact that education is offered to more people. Also, Sen. Laurel To Lecture, Nationalist Philippine Senator Jose Laurel will speak on Filipino- American relations at 4 p.m. today in Rackham Amphitheater. According to Prof. Russel H. Fi- field of the political science de- partment, Sen. Laurel is one of the most influential figures in con- temporary Philippine government. Sen. Laurel, a regent of the University of the Philippines, is in the United States to negotiate a revision of the Bell Trade Act of 1946 governing trade between the United States and the Philippines. Sponsored by the Institute of Public Administration, his visit will begin at noon today when he is the guest at a luncheon given by Philippine students.

Americans "do much better than we do" in the matter of integrat- ing social education-extra-curric- ular activities, student clubs-with college life. Prof. Hylla was director of sec- ondary education in Prussia be- fore he was discharged by Adolph Hitler in 1933. He has also served as chief consultant for reconstruc- tion of German educ.ation to our military government after World War II. "Our universities start later than your colleges, at the end of what could be compared with your soph- omore year," he said. Up to that time, the students go to secondary schools. "Therefore, we have a more mature group of students- more highly . selected." There are fewer examinations in European universities. In some fields there are intermediary tests after four or five semesters of LaMore Exhibits Art 'BROADER ED UCA TION': i -- .00- , work, but in most fields there is an examination upon the completion of studies. "We have only one degree-the doctor's degree. It-has a practical meaning and importance only in the universities," Prof Hylla said. "Students select courses on the principle of freedom of learning," he commented. There are very few courses which demand prerequi- sites, and there areno required courses for graduation. "There is more chance to select and also more chance to go astray," Prof. Hylla said. He will deliver a lecture on "Ed- ucation as a Field of Study in Ger- man Higher Institutions" at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in -Auditorium B, Angell Hall. It will be the first in a series of lectures in celebra- tion of the 75th anniversary of the first course in education offered here.

Single admission tickets priced Management Course Urged A University-directed course in traffic management to be offered in upper Michigan has been sug- gested by Prof. John C. Kohl of the civil engineering department. Director of the Transportation In- stitute of the University, Prof. Kohl urged that the job of traffic manager should be raised above clerical level and made more ef- ficient. According to Prof. Kohl, the course could e presented as a one-night session with the instruc- tor provided by the transportation company, as a single night session in upper Michigan taught by a member of the University faculty or it could take the form of a one- week course offered on campus. Prof. Kohl believes that the course would be instrumental in easing transportation problems in upper Michigan. at $ 65 may be purchased at the office of Prof. Warner Rice, chair- man of the English department, 1605 Haven Hall. Full season memberships to the Center entitling the holder to see the entire seven-play season cost $10. Half-memberships, which in- clude admittance to the first three plays, are $4.50.
