SERIES
The Michigan Marching Band.
opens its season on Oct. 2 as it
takes the field here marching at a
cadence of 210 steps per minute.
This highly polished company of
men has established a reputation
for precision marching, intricate
dance steps and spectacular for-
mations. They provide pre-game
and half-time entertainment at all
home games and often accompany
the football squad to their contests
away from Ann Arbor.
Largest Band
The Band this year is the largest
to take the field, numbering 144 in
addition to the drum major and the
twirlers. At present, due to a large
turnout of tryouts, the drum major
and the twirlers have not been an-
nounced.
Twenty-five thousand miles, or a
distance greater than the circum-
ference of the globe is traversed
each season by the Band, without
leaving its practice field and the
stadium in Ann Arbor.
Precision Formations
Precision formations range from
the traditional Block 'M' to dance
stunts that are so complex they
have never been attempted by oth-
er bands. At the opening game
against Army on Oct. 2, the Band
will present an Army show, honor-
ing the West Point Cadets. The
show is entitled "A Day In The
Life Of A Plebe."
Under the direction of Prof. Wil-
liam D. Revelli, the band prac-
tices from 4:20 to 5:40 p.m. four
days a week. Instruction sheets
bearing a maze of crosses and cir-
cles are given to each bandsman.
Out of the seemingly chaotic chart,
a perfect formation is developed
for the week's game.
Musicianship Stressed
Prof. Revelli also demands su-
perior musicianship from his band,

believing that marching is being
over-emphasized when a band
marches better than it plays.
It is the Band's unusual balance
between music quality and march-
ing which gains the attention of
both the layman and the profes-
sional. Since its founding in 1895,
the Band has been nationally fa-
mous for its flashy routines as
well.
An instrumentation is employed
with a balance between wood-
Winds and brasses that is generally
absent from college bands. Instru-
ments are spread throughout the
band instead of in separate sec-
tions so that the quality sounds
good from all sides. It is really
four bands in one, Prof. Revelli.
explained.
Stresses Fundamentals
Prof. *Revelli and George Caven-
der, assistant conductor, spend 35
hours each on a show. A firm be-
liever in fundamentals, Prof. Re-
velli feels that if one stresses the
fundamentals instead of perform-
ance itself, the show is bound to be
good. In addition, Prof. Revelli of-
ten hears each member of the band
individually to make sure that the
tone is just right.
The band maintains a cadence
ranging from a slow 100 steps per
minute to 176 during formations,
depending on the music. However,
Prof. Revelli maintains that the ca-
dence which dazzles spectators
takes second place to unity, preci-
sion and coordination which is
what really makes a band stand
out.
Museum Displays
European Photos
Currently on exhibit at Alumni
Memorial Hall are exhibits of
"Post-War European Photogra-
phy" and "Olivetti: Design in In-
dustry."

"Post-War European Photogra-
phy" includes 150 works by well-
known photographers from Aus-
tria, Denmark, England, France,
Germany, holland, Italy, Luxem-
bourg, Sweden and Switzerland.-
Organized by the Museum of
Modern Art in New York, "Olivet-
ti: Design in Industry" is an exhi-
bition of product design, graphic
design and architecture of the Oli-
vetti Company of Ivrea, Italy.
By DAVE BAAD
If President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower is to have a Republican
Congress in 1955 and 1956, his par-
ty's candidates must reverse a
trend. that has been reversed but
once in United .States history.
Only in 1934 when the Demo-
crats, flushed with their success
in dealing with depression hard-
ships won a smashing Congres-
sional victory, has the party in
power gained seats in both the
Senate and House during an off-
year election.
Present Situation
At present the Republicans hold
48 Senate seats to 47 for the
Democrats-there is one Inde-
pendent-and their margin in the
House is a narrow 219 to 215.
Consequently if the voters fol-
low precedent and send addition-
al Democrats to Congress this No-
vember, President Eisenhower's
program, by necessity, will need
Democratic votes in the next two
years.
Vice-President Richard M. Nix-
on set the tone for Republican
campaigns two weeks ago when. he
told candidates in Cincinnati to
'run scared.'
GOP leaders across the coun-
try have announced that they are
proud of the record of the 83rd
Congress and that their Congres-
sional aspirants can safely run on
its accomplishments.
Coming Issues
However, the GOP is aware of
the off-year trend and also of
some other rumblings of discon-
tent. Their new farm policy, the
public vs. private power contro-
versy and alleged recession ten-
dencies are all likely to be much-
discussed issues during the next
few weeks.
Most of the activity during the
summer months has concerned
primaries although last Tuesday
Maine held its final election.
As expected, Sen. Margaret
Chase Smith won handily over
Colby College Prof. Edward S.
Muskie. However Sen. Smith's
margin was 12 per cent less than
in her Senate victory of 1948 and
the state surprisingly elected a
Democratic governor for the first
time since 1934.
Democrats Predict
Democrats are elated over the
results and immediately began
predicting in some quarters that
a 100 seat House majority in the
84th Congress was not out of the
question.
However it is obvious that local
issues were strongly involved in
the Maine election and possibly
proved most conclusively that lo-
cal problems are going to be de-
cisive throughout the country this
fall.
New Jersey, Massachusetts and
Kentucky appear to present the
best opportunities for Democrats
to secure additional Senate seats.
Internal dissentioni within New
Jersey's GOP ranks is Republican
candidate Clifford P. Chase's big-
gest obstacle. The state organiza-
tion is badly split between the fac-
tion that supported the late Sen.
Robert A. Taft for the Presiden-
tial nomination in 1952 and those
who favored President Eisen-
hower.
Former Representative Case is
endorsed by President Eisenhower
but his recent denunciation of Sen.
Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) an-
tagonized the more conservative
faction of his party.
The recent revelation that ex-
Republican governor Harold Hoff-
man stole $300,000 from the bank
of which he was president has
also lessened Case's chances.
Case's opponent is Democratic
representative Charles R. Howell.
stating that Sen. Cooper was the
greatest Republican the state had
ever produced and that Barkley
was the greatest Democrat. Then
he added, "This is Kentucky, so
Barkley will win."
Since Kentucky's party registra-
tion is four to one Democratic,
things do apparently favor the
former Vice-President. Sen. Coop-
er also is somewhat hampered by
President Eisenhower's character-
ization of the Tennessee Valley
Authority as 'creeping socialism'
TVA is almost sacrosanct in
Kentucky.
The one thing that might pre-
vent Barkley's return to the Sen-
ate is the same thing that hurt his
Presidential chances in 1952-his
age, 76.
Republican Hopes
Republican hopes for unseating
Democrats are high in at least
three states. Sen. J. Allen Frear
Jr. (Del.), Sen. Clinton B. Ander-
son (N.Mex.) and Sen. Thomas
Burke (Ohio) are the three hoped-
for victims.
Internal party problems are
damaging Sen. Frear's chances
The state organization hassled
for several weeks before it decid-
ed to even run Sen Frear for re-
election. Many of the big city
Democrats who consider the in-
cumbent too conservative desired
former State Supreme Court Jus-
tice James Tunnell Jr.
However, with reluctance they
finally endorsed him and he will
run against Herbert B. Warbur-
ton, an up-and-coming Delaware
Republican. If the Democrat's in-
difference toward Sen. Frear does
not influence the voters he still
might win.
Gov. Edwin Meechem is oppos-
ing Sen. Anderson in New Mexico.
Democrats expect to win this elec-
tion, but Gov. Meechem has been
en excellent vote attainer in past
elections.
The state hasn't elected a Re-
Publican senator since 135.
_The Ohio election should be one
of the tightest in the country.
Senator Thomas Burke, appointed
last summer to replace the late
Robert A. Taft, is opposed by Re-
publican Representative-at-large
George Bender.
Rep. Bender Is strongly support-
ed by both the Taft and Eisen-
hower factions of the Republican
party. Although his tendency to
clown keeps many people from
taking him very seriously, he has
proved continuously that he is a
top-flight campaigner.
Republicans hope that Ohio's
lack of familiarity with Sen. Burke
outside the Cleveland area will
make him a weak candidate. Sei.
Burke, who was mayor of Cleve-
land for five terms befor accept-
ing Gov. Frank Lausche's ap-
pointment, has the advantage of
running with Lausche in this elec-
tion.
Gov. Lausche has proved one of
Ohio's greatest Democratic vote
getters.
Southern States
The Democrats of course have
several certain seats from the
Southern states. The big battles
here are in the primaries where
in most cases there were vigorous
tussles between the liberal and
conservative factions of the party.
Sen. Estes Kefauver won one of
the most notable of these cam-
paigns when he smashed Rep. Pat
Sutton by a better than four-to-
one count in Tennessee.
Sen. Kefauver was constantly
attacked for his New Deal ten-
dencies and his 'internationalism'
during the campaign.
Sen. John Sparkman had a sim-
ilar experience in Alabama but
also emerged the victor.
Mid-West Viewed
Iowa and Illinois are being con-
sidered somewhat in the toss-up
category. Sen. Guy Gillette is hop-
ing to make Secretary of Agricul-
ture Ezra Taft Benson's new farm
policy the focal point of his cam-
paign.
If the farmers are opposed to
the lowering of price supports he
figures to win. Otherwise Rep.
Thomas E. Martin might enter the
Senate as an exponent of the new
policy.
Illinois voters have a clear-cut
choice between a conservative iso-
lationist Joseph T. Meek, former
president of the Illinois Federa-
tion of Retail Associations,,and
liberal, internationalist Sen. Paul
H. Douglas.
Sen. Douglas may have trouble
with the Chicago Catholic vote be-
cause of his opposition to Sen.
McCarthy. However, he is count-
ing on farmer dissatisfaction with
price declines and support of Chi-
cago labor to forge a victory.
President Eisenhower has given
his support to Meek after making
him promise to vote consistently
with his program.

Massachusetts Contest
The contest in Massachusetts is
expected to be very close. Sen.
Leverett Saltonstall, an Eisen-
hower supported on most issues is
facing former Democratic Con-
gressman Foster Furcolo.
Partly because of the state's
large Catholic population, 'Mc-
Carthyism' and the threat of
Communists in government has
become one of the major issues.
Democrats are hoping that Fur-
colo will lure back some Catho-
lics who deserted Democratic
ranks over the Communist issue
in 1952. With this in mind the
former Congressman disowned
Americans for Democratic Action,
an organization that is anti-Com-
munist but one that is constantly
on Sen. McCarthy's blacklist.
Sen. Saltonstall, who for a long
time was non-committal on the
subject of McCarthyism, has fin-
ally decided to enlist Sen. McCar-
thy's aid in the campaign.
The Republicans may also have
difficulty explaining the business
recession which has affected Mas-
sachusetts the last few years.
