'Rendezvous'
Will Be Held
Sept.26-28
Freshmen Rendezvous, sponsored
by the Student Religious Associa-
tion, will be held again this year at
Waldenwoods on a lake near Hart-
land, Michigan, Sept. 26-28.
This pre-orientation week-end is
designed to allow new students to get
acquainted with their fellow-class-
mates, upperclassmen, and members
of the faculty before the rush of ac-
tual college life begins.
The two days at Waldenwoods
will be devoted to a discussion of var-
ious religious and ethical problems
pertinent to the everyday life of en-
tering students. One of the panels
will be composed of faculty members
who will discuss the "Function of Re-
ligion in a Warring World," while a
student panel has been planned for
Sunday evening on the topic, "What
I Believe," the emphasis to be placed
on how one's beliefs affect one's ac-
tions. Two foreign students, Paul
Lim-Yuen, '43, and Fakhri Maluf,
grad., will introduce two religions of
the Far East, Confucianism and Mo-
hammedanism respectively.

Students in oral interpretation
classes give lectures, recitals, and
readings in open meetings of these
classes. There are no inter-collegiate
contests in this field, but many op-
portunities for experience in oral in-
terpretation exist.
Opportunities in Dramatics
Classes are held regularly in play
production, stage craft and costum-
ing. Prof. Valentine Windt directs
the presentation of the several plays
which are presented in the fall and
spring terms. These are given the
name Play Production and are pre-
sented by students in classes in the
Dramatics phase of the Speech De-
partment. They are presented in Ly-
dia Mendelssohn Theatre.
Last year the Play Production
group presented Saroyan's "Jim
Dandy," Maeterlinck's "Blue Bird;"
the Kaufman-Hart comedy, "George
Washington Slept Here;" Daly's
"Under the Gas Lights;" and in a
double bill of opera which was pre-
sented in conjunction with the
School of Music, Mozart's "Impres-
sario" and Mascagni's "Cavalleria
Rusticana."
University Radio
* Radio at the University is under
the direction of Prof. Waldo Abbott
and Mr. David Owen. Radio pro-
grams originate from Morris Hall
here on campus and are broadcast
over stations WJR and W45D in De-
troit. Each week the University stu-
dents and faculty take part in eleven
programs which are written and di-
rected by the students themselves.
Opportunities for advancement in
this field are very great, and Prof.
Abbott helps to place qualified grad-
uates in radio stations throughout
the country.
Speech Clinic Is New, Unique
The University of Michigan Speech
Clinic was started in 1937 and has
grown to be one of the best in the
country. The unique features offered
by this clinic are not to be found in
many of the other great colleges in
this country.
The Speech Clinic is fully equipped
and operates in conjunction with the
Institute of Human Adjustment. The
Clinic has complete cooperation of
the Medical School, Dental School,
and University Hospital and is open
to all residents of the state, giving
services in voice and speech correc-
tion. The 15 members of the staff
handle more than 400 cases annually
and persons majoring in this field of
speech find many opportunities to
gain practical experience.
