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. f u1u .%s G7 i n %4 %.o 1 %J-l l '. 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 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."
