LOCAL GROUP GROWS:
Skating Club Gains Popular Acclaim
By JAN REARICK
Figure skating was promoted on
a large scale in Ann Arbor in 1939,
when a group of local residents and
University people felt the need of
a figure-skating club to encourage
this sport in the community.
The club has now grown to a
membership of approximately 350,
with a waiting list of 300. Because
of limited use of University facili-
ties, prospective members have had
to wait three years before joining
the club, and the son of one of
the members was placed on the
waiting list before he was born!
After overcoming restrictions in
facilities, however, all that is need-
ed to join the club is a legitimate
interest in figure skating and pos-
session of a pair of figure skates.
Four Groups
The club is organized on the ba-
sis of four groups: Junior Divi-
sion, in which small children up to
the age of 10 or 12 participate; In-
termediate Division, with members
from 12 to 18; Senior Division,
with members above age 18; and
Non-Group Division for skaters
who do not wish or need group in-
struction.
Instruction is given by two pro-
fessionals, Mary Frances Freschke,
and Nancy Mineard. Both Miss
Greschke and Miss Mineard are
holders of the United States Figure
Skating Association Gold Figure
Medal and Silver Dance Medal.
Skating within the divisions is
organized with three basic activi-
ties. These are "Patch," or com-
pulsory figures which must be
practiced before the skater moves
on to "dance," which is dancing
on ice with a partner to music and
to prescribed choreography, and]
'free-skating," which is interpre-
tive dancing to music.
The Ann Arbor Club is a mem-
ber of the United States Figure
Skating Association which has
groups In cities throughout the
country. Through this organiza-
tion, skaters work up to the Inter-
national Olympic Gamnes. In addi-
tion, members of figure skating
clubs are welcome guests of the
club of any other city.
The Ann Arbor Figure Skating
Club's activities consist of pre-
senting programs at ice shows in

"Education Shall Forever Be En-

These words identify a colorful
brochure of the University Devel-
opment Council, soon to be dis-
tributed in law offices of alumni
throughout the country, sketching
channels University graduates
may use for their contributions to
the campus.
Except for paper costs, the book-j
let was financed entirely by con-
tributions of alumni.
"Although the University is
truly a state-supported institu-
tion," the booklet states, "more
than half of its physical plant and
equipment has been obtained from
sources other than State appro-
priations."

Anna Russell, noted interna-
tional comedienne, will bring her
one woman khow to Ann Arbor
for two different performances
March 4 in Hill Auditorium.
Sponsored '.y the Michigan
Singers, Miss Russell will return
to Ann Arbor after performing
here last summer.
Her vocal repertoire combines
all forms of music, from German
leider to Gilbert and Sullivan. She
has recorded three long-playing
records, covering most of her rep-
ertoire.
First Album
The first album discusses the
various types of French, English
and German songs. In describing
the unusual categories in each
field, Miss Russell sings an appro-

This year's carnival, scheduled
for March 12 and 13 has already
been cast, and will consist of four
parts: Cosmic Collision, Cactus
Canyon, Carribean Cruise, and
Continental Carnival. Choreogra-

doife by separate people, each of
whom will ultimately become pro-
fessional figure skaters.
Any member of the club may
participate in the carnival, and the
music, costuming, dancing, and
abilities are greatly varied in order
to present as "professional-look-

public. "

"People are always asking me
why I am so comical about mu-
sic," Miss Russell said. "I feel that
there is a funny side to music and
people could see it if they weren't
so impressed by music and looked
into it more fully."

Group Plans
Culture Study
Rediscovering the truths on
which western culture is founded1
will be the aim of a non-denomi-
national campus group being or-
ganized under the leadership of
Prof. E. Wendell Hewson of the
department of civil engineering.
Studies of this type were devel-
oped by H. B. Sharman in the pe-
riod following World War I.
Groups were organized at colleges
and universities in the United
States, Canada, 'England and
China.
The basic teachings of Jesus
are also studied intensively at a
summer session of the group held
in Camp Minnesing in the Cana-
dian Algonquin Park under Shar-
man's direction.
The University organization will
meet once a week at Lane Hall.
Students are invited to attend.

The School of Music is looking
for guinea pigs,
"So many people apply for pi-
ano lessons," Prof. Helen Titus of
the music school said, "and we
have neither the facilities nor the
personnel to handle them."
"We are faced with asking for
guinea pigs, rather a limited num-
ber of students, for the practice
teachers to work with. At present,
our piano department can take
only music school students or de-
grec candidates.
"The reason for this project will
be to find students who have had
piano training so that they can
help our practice teachers gain ex-
perience sin teaching private stu-
dents."
There is no credit for the course
and no fee. It will be a course in
"Materials and Techniques." "We
will instruct people in how to con-
tinue practicing in a fairly intel-
ligent way," Prof. Titus said.
"We will talk about how to
study and present music to stu-
dents and how to develop tech-
niques at the keyboard."

The course is an opportunity for
