MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS:

Blue, Maize
Share Honor,
Win Award
Efforts of both Frosh Weekend
teams, Blue and Maize, were re-
warded last night as judges an-
nounced tie decisions.
The teams were judged on their
themes, dances, entertainment,
decorations, programs and design,
tickets sold and publicity. Mrs.
Ruth Callahan, administrative as-
sistant to the Dean of Men, Tom
Leopold, former Union president
and Lucy Landers, former League
president served as judges.
According to the judges, the
work and enthusiasm of both
teams were so close that a tie de-
cision had to be rendered.
Maize and Blue Team names
will be engraved on a plaque as an
award for their winning produc-
tions.
Blunders Depicted
M - barrassing Blupers," the
Blue Team production, was held
last Friday evening. Bluepers,
meaning social blunders were de-
picted at four "U of M's," Mexico,
Moscow, Monte Carlo and Michi-
gan.
General chairman for the Blue
team was Maureen Isay. Other
chairmen were Sally Glass, assist-
ant general chairman; Ernestine
Johnson tickets; Myke Gold and
Betty Sykes, publicity and Ann
Cohn and Angela Suino, floorshow.
The Central Committee contin-
ues with Jean Schlusberg, stage
manager; Jane Mencher, patrons.
Sue Doherty, finances. Patty Hal-
Slt awards and judges; Nancy
Lindgren, programs and Ann Mc-
Donald and Sally Sheu, decora-
tions.
Elf Invades Dormitory
"Mae'z Here To Stay," was the
Maize Team production. The skit
concerned Mae, the Michigan Ar-
boretum Elf, who invades a dor-
mitory room one evening and re-
veals many surprises about sup-
pressed desires to a group of coeds.
The Maize Team Central Com-
mittee included Marylen Segel,-
general chairman; Sue Bergdahl,
assistant chairman; Sue Verb,
awards and judges; Mary Klauer
and Sherrie Page, decorations, and

at 8 p.m. this evening as part of
the Modern Dance Club concert
to be presented in Pattengill Au-
ditorium of Ann Arbor High
School.
This new-type guided missile,
named Syrenee, will be given in its
first public demonstration. Danced
by E. Marlene Crawford, Syrenee,
like its sister ship the Nike, was
named after the Greek godess of
victory.
Dance club officials remarked
that the reasons for Syrenee's
name will become apparent when
she is seen in operation. This
demonstration will be a stimulated
attack involving a captured enemy
missile, danced by Jim Stasheff.
B a r t o k ' s "Second Movement
from Quartet No. 2 in A Minor,"
will be the first presentation. The
dancers, working with the actual
musical score, will represent the
different musical instruments. The
choreography k.--,s arranged by the
Choreographers' Workshop and
costumes were designed by Ruth
Spitale.
"TheOstrich Is a Silly Bird," an
anonymous poem read by Paul
Herlinger and arranged by George
Crumb, will be the next number
on the program. Barbara Mills,
choreographer of this dance, will
be accompanied by Roland Tragan
at the piano. Ellen Wild will do the
costuming.

sic by Philip Han, who will read it

bat is responsible for costuming of

By JAN JAGUSCH
Participation in the May Festi-
val will again be a high point in
the year's activities for over 300
members of Choral Union.
The collaboration of four local
churches for a performance of
Handel's "Messiah" was the spark
that ignited the idea that even-
tually grew into the organization
that is now called Choral Union.
Now it is recognized as one of the
oldest permanent choral groups
existing in the country.
Since the May Festival's origin
in 1894, the Choral Union has sung
at two or three concerts every sea-
son.
Varied Selections Presented
Traditionally one of their pro-
grams has featured older classical
works while the other features
modern, contemporary selections.
This season "Carmina Burana"
and Beethoven's "Missa Solemnis
in D major" will be performed by
the Choral Union, featured solo-
ists and the Philadelphia Orches-
tra under the baton of Thor
Johnson.
A twelfth century Benedictine
monastery formed the scene of
the origin of "Carmina Burana."
The monastery, a great center of
art and culture and the gathering
place of vagabond poets, produced
much bad, mediocre and great po-
etry.
Musician rinds Poetry
About 100 years ago the discov-
ery of this material was made. Carl
Orff, a German musician, picked
out the best of these works and set
them to music.
Since the arrival of "Carmina
Burana" in America, it has caused
a great deal of interest in musical
circles. Thor Johnson has previ-
ously performed the work and en-
thusiastically decided that he
would like to do this selection
with the Choral Union for the May
Festival.
The "Missa Solemnis" is often
considered the: greatest choral
work in existence. The selection of
this number follows the Choral
Union tradition since they have
performed all of the great orator-
ios, many of the operas adapted
for choral use and a variety of oth-
er noted works during their 75
year existence.
Besides participating in the May
Festival, the Choral Union also
presents Handel's "Messiah" ev-
ery December.
Over 20,000 persons have sung
in Choral Union since its estab-
lishment in 1879. Many of the
