<>I O "rI l 1 fiC"-C
__r
Oleg Lobanov and David Grupe
have been chosen to head the
Men's Glee Club for the coming
year, as president and business
manager respectively.
Assuming the duties of vice-
president will be Rom Portwood,
while Fred Walker Jr. handles pub-
licity.
Responsibility for tickets and
programs will fall to Dwight Davis.
Harry Bird, as assistant publicity
manager, will aid Walker with his
job and Assistant Business mana-
ger Dick Halladay wil lhelp Grupe
cope with financial problems.
Other Officers
Ray Babin will be in charge
of alumni relations while Dick
Bowman fills the position of office
director.
The Club's officers were recently
chosen by petition and majority
vote of the members.
"Our Club distinguishes itself
from most other college glee clubs
by the fact that it is completely
student operated," Portwood re-
marked.
He added that it has been or-
ganized, administered and main-
tained by its own members since
its founding in 1859.
'Run Democratically'
"We also try to run the Club
democratically," the new vice-I
president continued. "All matters
which concern the group as a
whole are brought to a vote. We
find that the best way for mem-
bers to express themselves," he
explained.

OLEG LOBANOV DAVID GRUPE
Men in the Club are enrolled in'
undergraduate colleges or profes-
sional schools. In addition to
studying, they have found time
to make extensive road tours
throughout this country and Eur-
ope, in recent years.
"We've appeared in states from
New York City as far west as Tul-
sa, Okla., and as far south as
Memphis, Tenn," Portwood re-
marked.
"But our concert tour of six
European countries last summer
climaxed nearly one hundred years
of activity and aspiration," he said
with a broad smile.
The long-planned and dreamed-
Themia Members Reactivate
National Sorority Chapter
about trip began June 6, from
Quebec City. The singers sailed
to Rotterdam, where they started
their tour with a command per-
formance before Queen Juliana at
the Hague.
Concerts in Germany
They gave three more concerts
in Holland before travelling to
Germany. Seven performances
highlighted their stay in that
country, with major stop-offs at
Cologne, Heidelberg and Munich.
Moving into Austria, the men
sang at Salzburg and Zell am See.
Italy was next on the agenda. They
arrived there in time to partici-
pate in the 4th of July celebra-
tion at the American Embassy in
Rome.
The Glee Club left the Mediter-
ranean for the mountains, with
Lucerne, Switzerland as their des-
tination. Two concerts in France,
both at Paris culminated the tour.
Varietw of Surroundings
They entertained in a variety of
surroundings. "Our concerts in-
cluded appearances before uni-
versity audiences, musical groups,
military installations, night clubs
and community groups, in addition
to the Royal Court and the Ameri-
can Embassy," Portwood remarked.
The Club sailed for the U.S.
from France and arrived back in
New York City July 29.
Besides the concert experience,
Portwood feels the entire tour gave
Club members "a wonderful op-
portunity to see many of the out-
standing sights of Europe."
