SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26,1$55 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE P"IVg SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1955 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE -Daily--Sam Ching 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- mented 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. Alumni Set 'Salesman' Conference More than 40 volunteer sales- men will gather here today from points as distant asrRhode Island and Georgia.

"All previous Fund appeals,' according to Alumni Fund Man- ager James K. Miller, "have been by mail. Results of this workshop," he said, "should launch an im- portant personal campaign to strengthen the new annual giving program. At noon the Local Chairmen will join the Alumni Fund Board for luncheon in the Union. Uni- versity Vice-President Wilbur K. Pierpont will preside, introducing as speakers Development Council Board Chairman Earl H. Cress and Student-Affairs Vice-Presi- dent James A. Lewis.

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. i 1 1 I 1 i J t f l (Continued from Page 1) 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. -Daily-John Hirtzel PROF. CHARLES E.

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 being made in fraternity and sor- ority bias clause removal at their March 8 meeting.
