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.
