Kaye, state administrator. On the university level, 5,700 young men and women participated in NYA jobs. The average earnings of these college students was $12.79 per month. NYA funds for college students in Michigan totalled $367,- 000. Forty-three colleges and uni- versities benefited from these allot- ments. Experience in NYA production cen- ters has provided America's "pro- duction front" with a steady stream of young machinists, welders and other trained personnel for the state's important war industries. Nearly every major industrial firm in the state-which has become a major cog in the production of war essentials-has reaped benefits from the NYA program, according to re- ports from industrialists submitted to Kaye. Long before the Pearl Harbor at- tack, the NYA was engaged in pre- paring youth for jobs in vital indus- tries, but, with the outbreak of war, the training program was shifted quickly into high gear with produc-. tion shops being placed on three and four shifts daily to keep pace with the increased demand for war workers. Race Relations Club To Hear Talk By White The organization meeting of the newly-organized Race Relations Com- mittee at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Union will be highlighted by a talk by Prof. Leslie A. White, of the anthropology department. The Committee, the first of its kind to be recognized by the Univer- sity, has as its purpose the bettering of inter-racial relations-especially in this time of a wdiid-wide struggle for equality and freedom. The problems of housing, the Ne- gro's place in the war effort, pro- moting anti-lynching legislation and furthering a mixed white and colored regiment in the Army are among the questions to be dealt with by the group at future meetings. A parley will probably be held some time in the future to discuss general problems of race relations. In order to promote better rela- tions, the scientific, social and eco- nomic bases of the race problem will be studied, with a view towards tak- ing action wherever it seems possible and advisable. Tien To Open New Chinese Course Here Professor Price At Carillon Keyboard * * * * Shirt-sleeved Percival Price, the man who perches in the 10-story high Carillon Tower and makes mus- ic come out of 63 tons of bells, will ring them out again this summer when he begins his regular warm-j weather concerts at 7:15 p.m. Thurs- day and Sunday. Professor Price-he teaches com- position in the music school-is thea University of Michigan's world-fam- ous carillonneur. In the small tower room 'way up, in the sky stands the carillon key-' board which is responsible for mak- ing the music boom out over Ann Arbor. The, room might be part of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris1 if it weren't for two this-is-the-Unit- ed-States gadgets-a hook telephone on the wall and an electric clock with a red second-hand.l Visitors to distract the distin-t guished musician? No, strictly priv- ate. If you want to hear the music, stand outside and listen, please. Professor Price bounces all over the keyboard . . . he bounces downi on little wooden levers with half-t closed fists, using his feet to trampt down on foot pedals for the low, heavy sounds.r The keyboard is something like a spinning machine. Two rows oft wooden levers are connected to small- diameter rods reaching to the ceil-1 ing. The levers push the rods downf and the rods make the bells clang. Professor Price sits on an elevated1 bench big enough for three people with no crowding, and he slides all over it to tramp down on the right foot pedals. When he's not using his feet, he hooks his heels on a foot-rail. At every quarter hour, the bells sound out the time over the city by virtue of a special clock-and-chim- ing mechanism installed by a New York company. The carillonneur has an amazing record behind him. He got his musi- cal background in Canada and Eur- ope, and his degree from the Univer- sity of Toronto in 1928. Columbia University gave him the Pulitzer Prize in music six years later. Since 1939 he has been University carillonneur here and has been in- vited to perform in Europe and many parts of the United States. He knows the carillon like a book-and has written one on it. An audience standing outside the Carillon Tower hears a lot of bell- music while Professor Price is on the instrument, but the lucky person sit- ting in the tower room can only hear the clac of wooden pegs. Overhead, bells ring and fill the whole room with sound. Occasionally the professor grips the wooden levers and presses them down but most of the time he uses his fists-with the little finger of each hand protected by finger stalls. When he hits the upper part of the keyboard, the bells tinkle. HSING CHIH TIEN * * , An intensive course in beginning Chinese, designed to prepare students for war work and to provide a back- ground for future study, will be given in the Summer Session by Hsing Chih Tien. Former student and instructor at! Yen Ching University, Peking, where he got his master's degree in 1934, Tien has prepared a course in con- versation and writing which will "provide enough training for stu- dents to do elementary translating." The practical aspects of the lan- guage will be emphasized at the con- versation sessions scheduled for 8 a.m. and the writing classes to be held at 1 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in Room 2019. Literature Course Given Tien will also teach a course in translations from the Chinese to ac- quaint students with the historical backgrounds of Chinese traditions and customs. Four credit hours will be given for the language course and two for the literature class. In the translation course, English versions of such authors as the famous poets Lee Po, Tu Fu and Chu Yan will be studied. . Although Chinese has been taught at the University previously, this new course marks the first real attempt to permanently include the study of that language in the regular curricu- lum.
