SOME OF THE 7,000 ORGAN PIPES
Renovation Program on Hill
6rgan Nearing Completion
By DAVID KAPLAN
After nine months of repair
work, the $40,000 renovation pro-
gram on Hill Auditorium's organ
is nearing completion.
Almost all of the organ's 7,000
pipes were taken out, cleaned and
revoiced. The exceptions were the
32-feet high wooden base pipes.
Sme pipes were cleaned here.
Others were sent to the Aeolian
Skinner Company in Boston to
be revoiced.
Retain Character
.The remaining work will be done
as soon as the new console arrives
some time in April. "We tried to
retain the character of the old or-
gan," Prof. Robert Noehren, Jni-
versity organist commented, "by
combining the best of the old with
the best of the new."
Prof. Noehren will give the first
of three organ recitals March 6,
with a dedication program sched-
ule for next fall. The two other
recitals will be March 13 and 20.
Included on the dedication pro-
g-am will be a series of recitals
by University music faculty mem-
bgrs and the publication of a book-
let describing the organ, its history
and program notes.
Lenz Appointed.
To Local Post
Ralph W. Lenz, former sani-
tarian with the city of Denver,
Colo., has been appointed to a
similar post in Ann Arbor, health
officer Dr. Otto K. Engelke an-
nounced yesterday.
Lenz will work with sanitarian
Emmet Zerr in inspecting milk
and city restaurants. He replaces
Owen Birchman, who resigned last
year.

Moore of the music school com-

Used All Year
"After this repair job," Prof.
Noehren commented; "the organ
can last another 25 years, if it is
used with the same amount of
wear and tear. Students are using
it for either teaching or practic-
ing, from 7 a.m to midnight every
day, all year round, except for
vacations."
"In reality," he continued, "the
instrument has had about 100
years use since its last repair job
in 1926. Most organs are used
for Sundays services and church
gatherings for only a few hours a
week."
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.
"We have combined the best in
French, German and American
organs so, that music form all na-
tional schools can be played ade-
quately," Prof. Noehren comment-
ed.
"German and French reeds are
used," he continued, "and we have
the famous "Vox Uhmana" reg-
ister. The register sounds almost
like the human voice, and was
built by the famous French or-
gan builder, Cavaille-Coll."
History Traced
,A Detroit firm built the original
organ for Chicago's Columbian
Exposition in 1893.
At the Exposition's conclusion,
the organ was purchased by the
University Musical Society and in-
stalled in University Hall the fol-
lowing year.
While in University Hall, it was
used for chapel exercises, concerts
and by the Choral Union during
the May Festivals.
With the completion of Hill
Auditorium in 1913, the instru-
ment was moved to its present
site and enlarged during its re-
building.
In 1926, the organ was again
completely rebuilt, removing the
pipes that had been worn by age.
Because of pipe modernization,
only a few pipes remain from the
1893 original.
India
"Traditions of the people of
India" will be viewed on "Mich-
igan Report" at 515 p.m. to-
morrow over WWJ-TV.
Highlighting the feature will
be the performance of tradi-
tional dances by students from
India now enrolled at the Uni-
versity.
James Davis, director of the
International Center, will talk
with the Indian students, pre-
senting a brief explanation of'
the origin of the dances and
something of the life and cul-
ture of the people of India.

Stamp Club
To Sponsor
Exhibition
The Ann Arbor Stamp Club is
sponsoring the 22nd annual stamp
exhibition and bourse from 12
noon to 11 p.m. today on the third
floor of the Union.
The feature exhibit, owned by
Robert Schoen of Saginaw, shows
the cancellation stamp used in
1883 by Harry Nichols, Ann Arbor
mail clerk. Each mail clerk had
his own cancellation stamp so
that the complete route of a let-
ter could be retraced. This was a
precaution against robbery of the
mail which was a problem in those
early days.
Also included in the exhibition
is the collection of the late Dr.
A. B. Lewis. The collection covers
many towns in Southeastern
Michigan and dates back to the
time when Michigan was still a
territory.

election of candidates for state
and other national offices could
not get SAC approval.
Committee Permission
The lecture committee fits into
the picture because groups wish-
ing to hear political candidates
speak in a University building
must secure the committee's per-
mission.
The lecture committee generally
reserves the right to prohibit any
speaker who is known to advo-
cate or who is a member of a
political party which advocates
the overthrow of the government.
For this reason SAC recom-
mended that the new student gov-
ernment attempt to work out the
problem with the lecture com-
mittee.
It was SAC's hope that some
joint policy can be reached as a
basis for recognizing student po-
litical groups who desire to bring
candidates to speak on campus.

Following a discussion of the
sorority rushing question "SAC
recommended that Student Gov-
ernment Council consider the gen-
eral campus rushing problem
sometime in the future."
Assembly and Panhellenic rep-
resentatives indicated that their
groups would probably be able to
work out some solution and bring
it to SGC as problem areas pre-
sent themselves.
Other SAC members said that
neither Assembly nor Panhel can
be regarded as isolated units on
campus and insofar as their acti-
vities affect the student body as
a whole, SGC should have the
right to discuss and regulate these
activities.
SAC also asked to hear reports
from the Interfraternity Council,
Panhel and The Daily on progress

ority bias clause removal at their
