i PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1954 'U' To Exchange Professors with Japan On a United States tour for first~ hand information on, labor prob- lems, Prof. Shichiro Matsui of the economics department of Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan, recent- ly visited the University. Besides lecturing to a class on Japanese labor problems and vis- iting CIO offices in Detroit, Prof. Matsui stopped here to discuss plans for an exchange program be- tween the University of Doshisha, Kyoto and Michigan. Amierican Sponsor Chosen by the Rockefeller Foun- dation as American sponsor for American studies : in Kyoto, the University was given a grant of $28,000 which the Board of Regents recently accepted. The program sends two Ameri- can professors for one year to Doshisha and Kyoto Universities which have requested professors in the fields of philosophy and eco- nomics. The professors will not necessari- ly be taken from the University faculty, said Prof. John Hall, act- ing director of the Center for Jap- anese Studies which will handle our part in the exchange. Matsui Chairman In return, one or more Japanese professors are expected to visit' the University for a year to aid in the Japanese studies program. Prof. Matsui is chairman of the Kyoto committee which is admin- istering the program. The exchange is expected to get under way by March, Prof. Hall said. The exchangestarted last year when the University of flli- nois was American sponsor. Having Japanese professors at the University will help us get a better idea of the Japanese aca- demic world, Prof. Hall said, and it will also help to build up our Japanese studies program. Stanley Quartet To Give Concert The Stanley Quartet will give the fourth public concert in the Beethoven Cycle at 3:30 p.m. Sun- day in the Rackham Lecture Hall. Highlight of the program will be "Quartet in A minor, Op. 132." Beethoven called the adagio move- ment of this quartet "a convales- cent's thanks to God," after he had recovered from an illness. The A-minor has five move- ments: Slow-fast; Scherzo; Slow; Strongly rhythmic (March); Al- legra appassionato. v -Daily-Dean Morton PROF. SHICHIRO MATSUI labor economics specialist visits the University STUDENT OPERATED: WCBN Offers Wide Variety Of Music, Commentary Daily Rv C'1AOJL OTH Whether your taste runs to clas- sical music, off-beat jazz or un- usual commentaries on the events of the day, student-operated radio station WCBN has a suitable pro- gram. Originating from the quads, the station broadcasts 91 hours a week, from noon to 1 a.m. each day. Be- cause they are a wired radio serv- ice and listeners receive the pro- grams through a power cord in- stead of an antenna, the station does not need an FCC license. Under IHC control, WCBN em- ploys about 130 students. Pro- grams usually feature popular mu- sic in the afternoon, light classi- cal or other music designed to help study in the evening, and jazz on Sundays. National Sponsors One of the few student stations with national sponsors, WCBN boasts five such supporters. One sponsor's programs include two newscasts a day, ?rom 7-7:15 p.m. and 11-11:15 p.m., and one music show from 5-5:15 p.m. News for the broadcasts is received from an AP teletype located in East Quad. WCBN hopes to get more na- tional sponsors, but such an action would not take place until next semester. One of the most popular features is the "Freudian Hour," broadcast on Mondays from midnight to 1 a.m. Listeners may find themselves treated to anything from unusual jazz to unpredictable comments by the disc jockey. Jerry Pablick, '57, Station Manager of South Quad, admitted that "no one knows exactly what will happen on the show. It's always unexpect- ed, but always good listening." Music, Contests "Buddha and Harv," featuring Bob Birnbaum, '58 and Harvey Bailey, '58, gives Tuesday night listeners popular music and "con- tests with a difference" from 10-11 p.m. They may offer a cut rate sale of surplus animals from the Uni- versity zoo, sponsor a contest for which the entrance fee is a door from your room or discuss the latest "Gripe of the Week" as sub- mitted by the students. Besides their chatter, they feature record- ings seldom heard around cam- pus, such as numbers by Spike Jones and Mickey Katz. The Friday 8-9:30 p.m. show "Almanac" takes care of anything of interest to the students. Such features as glee clubs from the various quads or a program of folk music may be presented. Still in the experimental stage, the Omni- bus-styled show is expected to con- tinue next semester. Vezzani Leaves To Develop School Almando A. Vezzani, assistant professor of vocational education and practical .arts, will depart for Mexico early next month under terms of a contract between the University and the Foreign Opera- tions Administration. He has been assigned to initiate and develop a school for training mechanics and operators of high- way construction, farm and trans- portation equipment, and will serve as chief technical advisor at the newly-created El Olivar School in Mexico City..

NO 8-7177 FOUNTAIN PENS REPAIRED Read and Use Daily Classifieds Law Student Tells of Life In WAVES After her Middlebury College graduation four years ago Mary Fisher, '57L, wasn't sure what field she wanted a career; the result was four years in the WAVES-of which she "doesn't re- gret a minute." Since the public conception of life in the women's branch of the Navy is often unclear, Miss Fisher began her description of her WAVE career with a warning: "don't be- lieve what you see about service- women in the movies-the real thing couldn't be more different." Common Misunderstanding She corrected a common misun- derstanding t h a t the initials WAVES stand for specific words- they don't. Originally, however, they signified "Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service." Admission to the WAVES is far from automatic, Miss Fisher ex- plained. The entrance procedure is a rigid one, with physical examina- tions, letters of recommendations, intelligence tests and school tran- scripts all part of the requirements. And as an aside on the WAVE wardrobe, Miss Fisher considers the uniform "most feminine of all -black tailored suits with gold buttons and braid." Living Quarters Commissioned officers wear their uniforms only while on duty, Miss Fisher explained-usually from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Each officer lives in an individual room or suite, with an allowance for an apart- ment if Navy quarters aren't fur- nished. Pay for a WAVE ensign totals $337 per month, including salary, subsistence and quarters. Promo- tion tolieutenant,"Junior grade, isj automatic after 18 months of ac- tive duty, and raises the total pay to a possible $398 per month. I A WAVE officer is placed in the field of her greatest interest and ability, with a choice range cover- ing personnel, public relations, training, administration, communi- cations, finance and transporta- tion. Most WAVES can expect over- seas experience, Miss Fisher said, but "by the time our orders came through half of us were married -and many to Navy men." Points throughout the United States and all over the world serve as stations for women in the Navy -including England, Germany, France, Norway, Hawaii, Japan, Newfoundland, Cuba and Puerto Rico. Class To Give Opera Scenes The School of Music's opera class, under the direction of Prof. Josef Blatt will present its an- nual "Scenes from Opera" at 8:30 p.m. today and tomorrow, in Au- ditorium A, 'Angell Hall. Started two years ago when Prof. Blatt came to the University, the opera class has approximately 30 students, training for operatic singing and acting. The class is given for credit and the Angell Hall recitals give all students a chance to perform. They rehearse in the Auditorium for a week before each concert in the Auditorium as well as several weeks in the classroom. Opening the program will be scenes from Act II of Bizet's "Car- men." Following will be portions from Act III of Smetana's "Bar- tered Bride" and the second act of Verdi's "La Traviata." Closing the program will be scenes from Act II of Mozart's "The Magic Flute." Staging the performances will be Prof. Valentine Windt of the speech department, assisted by Nafe Katter. Choreography is by Jeanne Par- sons of the women's physical ed- ucation department. Poetry Readings Prof. L. LaMont Okey of the speech department will give read- ings in poetry for the Owosso Wom- an's Club at 2 p.m. today in the Owosso Public Library. 'Victor' Chorus Limbers Up ON YOUR TOES!-Chorus for the 1954 Union Opera, "Hail to Victor," limbers up for the first lo- cal performance, scheduled for Dec. 8 at the Michigan Theater. The all-male musical comedy will also be seen here on Dec. 9 and 10. A six-stop roadshow tour is planned during Christmas vacation, according to Jay Grant, '55, Opera general chairman. Club Delays Fry Comedy Indefinitely Originally set for local presen- tation Dec. 1 to 5, Christopher Fry's "The Lady's Not for Burn- ing" has been postponed indefin- itely. Until a suitable theater can be found the Student Player produc- tion will not be held. When the group founu that the Lydai Mendelssohn Theater, where they have presented plays in the past, was booked for this season and that the Ann Arbor High School Auditorium was not avail-. able, rehearsals, which had been underway for three weeks, were ended. According to Robert Colton, '55, President of the Student Play- ers the group's usual date for booking a theater, two weeks be- fore the beginning of the semester, turned out to be too late this year, since other groups had made ar- rangements to use local theaters. Plans to present the play in the old Arts Theater building on Washington St. had to be dropped, Colton said, because a great many production problems, including the lack of chairs for the audience, could not be overcome. Student Affairs Committee ap- proval to present the play in the Washington St. quarters has not yet been obtained and the Players felt that there would not be eniough time for adequate publicity after clearing their plans with the SAC, he explained. Miller To Discuss Accounting Today Prof. Herbert E. Miller of the School of Business Administration will discuss accounting controver- sies at a meeting today of the 10- cal chapter of the Natioial Associ- ation of Cost Accountants. Prof. Miller is author of several accounting texts, a public account- ant for various firms and a contri- butor for the CPA Review Manual. I Bald Writes Michigan History, Relates State to Rest of U.S. By HARRY STRAUSS Assistant Director of the Michi- gan Historical Collection, instruc- tor of history of the state of Mich- igan and author of a new work, "Michigan History through four Centuries," F. Clever Bald is not a native of the state. "I was born in Baltimore, Md., came west in 1919 and have ab- sorbed the atmosphere here. I had "Social history needs an exami- nation of states and even commu- nities for information as to the U.S. as a whole." Commenting on courses in state history, Dr. Bald remarked that they forward an interest in both state and region, making for bet- ter citizens. The courses, he con- tinued, are not from a promoter's viewpoint of history nor a chau- vanistic view as in most European countries. State institutions would be lax if they didn't show some interest in their own state, he said, noting that it is important for a person's back- ground "to know what went before to build a foundation for the fu- ture." Munson Bequest Citing the Staebler Papers as an example of public interest, Dr. Bald noted that this pamphlet on early automobiles had to have a reprinting by the Historical Collec- tion of 5,000 because of the great demand. In the will of John W. Munson, late president of Michigan State Normal Teachers College, money was bequeathed to the Historical Commission for the writing of a book on Michigan's history and the job was given to Dr. Bald. It took about three years to com- plete, although, he added, much material he had been gathering for years previous. Dr. Bald had ac- cess to much state history as he was War Historian of the Univer- sity during World War II. Previous to this work spanning the period from pre-historic times to 1950, Dr. Bald had authored "De- troit's First American Decade: 1796-1805."

CLEVER BALD ... completes book studied Maryland history and I was soon looking into Michigan's," he said. In the large office he occupies in the Historical Collection's head- quarters of the Rackham Build- ing are many hundreds of old, mas- sive chronicles of history. Many of these were original sources for his history book which was pub- lished in September. "I tried in my book," Dr. Bald said, "to tie Michigan in with the rest of the states and even the world.I think that if each state had a good work of its history, the writ- er of American history would have 48 good sources." A Social Force He added that histories written administration by administration "put too great an emphasis on po- litical aspects: history is now more a social force."
