this year in the annual Festival
of Song, produced by the Univer-
sity radio stations, WUOM -and
WFUM.
The Festival of Song is a com-
plete course in vocal music, taught
by radio for elementary school
children in their classrooms.

teacher of the course is Miss

music school.
Miss Albert, who holds a master's
degree in music education from
the University of Colorado, was for
11 years supervisor of school music
in the Iowa public schools, and
then an instructor in music edu-
cation and supervisor of music in
the Laboratory School of the State
Teacher's College at Bemidji, Mich.

Festival broadcasts are produced
and aired by the University's radiot
stations, WUOM Ann Arbor and

tape recorded and distributed to
some 20 commercial stations in
Michigan for rebroadcast in their
[areas.
Originally developed as a service
to rural schools, the Festival has
since been expanded to a number
of city areas. It last year reached
about 13,000 children, a figure
which is expected to be nearly
doubled in the coming series,
scheduled to begin on October 3.
To aid in the instruction, teach-
ers in the participating schools
are supplied' with a manual and
pupils with a songbook, both pro-
duced here and distributed at cost.

ers from throughout the United

YOUR WEEK-END DINING PLACE
' 1 10

By JOHN WEICHSEL
Everyone has seen the colorful
advertisements hanging in the
corner grocery store, plugging
beer, or gracing an airlines ticket
office or automobile show room,
decoratively urging one to fly
or buy.
WUOM To Use
New System
In Stadium
WUOM,' the University radio
station, will open its ninth year
of Michigan sports coverage this
fall with the institution of an im-
proved, streamlined system of
broadcasting home football games.
With the use of the facilities of
the newly constructed press box
at the stadium, WUOM will be
able to do away with the annoy-
ing cluster of microphones in front
of the band and the numerous
field and crowd mikes.
A pool system will be used this'
year, employing only one sensitive
parabolic microphone atop the
press box and one band mike.
These will be installed and oper-
ated by WUOM, but will serve all
the stations broadcasting the
game.
Football broadcasts this season
will be carried by a total of 20 sta-
tions throughout Michigan, in-
cluding the University's own
WUOM and WF(UM.
Local sportscaster will be Bill
Stegath of WUOM, aided by sta-
tistician John Sargent, spotter
Bill Carey, color announcer Ed
Burrows and three engineers.
In addition to the play-by-play
broadcasts, WUOM will air a
weekly 15-minute program, the
Wolverine Sports Report, which
will feature rebroadcasts of excit-
ing play-by-play highlights of last
year's game with the same oppo-
nent. This is scheduled for Fri-
days at 4:45 p.m.

ally knows of the mobile only

merce.
Concept of Mobile Old
But the ad men did not origin-
ate the phenomenon which seems
made just for them, nor did any
contemporary artist. The scien-
tific concept of the mobile is as
old as the scale or the see-saw.
Rather the modern artist has
utilized the scientific phenomenon
in his artistic concepts. The mobile
became an innovation when the
artist first utilized the age-old
phenomenon of balance in his
artistic concepts.
Alexander Calder is recognized
both by artists and public as one
of the first to integrate successful-
ly the scientific and esthetic. To
speak of him as the originator of
the mobile is false. One cannot
draw so decisive and immovable
a line.
Calder Connotes Mobile
But Calder connotes the mobile
as the Wright Brothers do the air-
plane.
His work, on view at the Mu-
seum of Art in Alumni Memorial
Hall now until October 14, ex-
presses the epitome of the mo-
bile. While others may have pro-
duced greater works of mobile art,
none have created more success-
fully the delight of pure move-
ment and form in a three dimen-
sional media.
Calder's first mobiles and sta-
biles were done in 1930-31. Today
he is internationally known as the
founder and leader of the "mobile"
sculpture movement.
Each. form balances another
form or a group of forms, the en-
tire structure eventually sus-
pended from a single strand at-
tached to the museum ceiling.
