Cornell University, composer, pianist,
writer and critic, will present a lec-
ture and recital illustrating modern'
trends in Soviet Russian music at
8:30 p.m. today in Rackham Lecture
Hall.
Recognized as an outstanding au-
thority on the musical background,
composers and works of his country,
Prof. Slonimsky will demonstrate his
talk on the piano. A well-known
composer himself, he has had his
"Suite in Black and White" and sev-
eral violin and piano works played
by such artists as Jascha Heifetz,
George Copeland and Roland Hayes.'

Prof. Slonimsky, who came to
America in 1923, was a student at
the St. Petersburg Conservatory in
Russia. He taught at the Eastman
School of Music and later became
secretary and musical assistant to
Serge Koussevitzky, conductor of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra. In 1931
Mr. Slonimsky conducted a program
of modern music, a field in which
he particularly distinguished him-
self, in Havana and New York. As a
pianist, he made a concert tour of
Europe and South America.
Prof. Slonimsky is the author of
an encyclopedic survey, "Music Since
1900," as well as many articles on
musical subjects in leading maga-
zines and newspapers.

RELIGIOUS COUNSELORS:
Former Students Now AAF
Chaplains Return to America
News from two formerhUniversity,
graduates who became chaplains in
the army was received this week with
one man's experiences appearing in
the new issue of the magazine Time.
Jule Ayers, '33, was at one time a
chaplain with the Army Air Force
and is now back at a pastorate in
Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Interested In Religious Ties
A letter quoted him as being "in-
terested in the ties that united the
Catholics, Protestant and Jews spir-
itually rather than the influences
which divide them . . . knows the
enthusiastic response to dynamic re-
ligion in the Army."
While at the University, Ayers was
president of the Lane Hall religious
organization, a Fresh Air Camp coun-
selor, took part in debate activities
and was a member of Alpha Kappa
Lambda.
Shilling Visits Campus
A recent visitor to the campus was
Capt. John Shilling who saw 15

Rev. Tanner To
Speak Today
The Rev. Paul Tanner, head of the
youth department in the Catholic
Welfare Conference, will address
students and townspeople on "The
Church in Post-War Reconstruction"
at 8:15 p. m. today in the Rackham
amphitheatre.
Sponsored by the Student Reli-
gious Association, his talk is the first
to be held by the Lane Hall organ-
ization this summer. The attitude
of the church toward general prob-
lems to be faced after the war and
the effect which they will have upon

ized religion will be discussed.
Following the lecture, a reception
will be held for Father Tanner at

which precipitated Ryti's resigna-
tion.
Such prominent leaders as Paasi-
kivi and EEro Vuori, Chief of the
Finnish Trades Unions, remained
temporarily in the background. Vuori
often has been mentioned for the
premiership.
Hannerheim himself perhaps will
hold the presidency only on a stop-
gap basis. He did not want to get
back into politics. Only widespread
demand forced him to make the
mrove, since he was the only man
whose leadership could swing a
change in Finland's policy without
endangering a civil war. Once an
armistice is made he probably will
retire.

as an AAF chaplain and is now at a
Connecticut base. A University grad-
uate, he was associated with the
Y.M.C.A. and Detroit organizations.
He received attention when an
Associated Press photo appeared in
newspapers showing his chaplain's
tent on a Pacific island with such
services as "baseball, library and
conferences" listed.
Puerto Ricans
Want Statehood
Dominion Status Said
To Be Acceptable
"Although a majority of the people
in Puerto Rico want to remain an-
nexed to the United States, they
would like to see the country either
admitted into the Union as a state
or given a status similar to that of
the nations in the British Common-
wealth," Miss Elba Molina of Puerto
Rico said yesterday at a lecture.
Miss Molina stated that she be-
lieved that Puerto Rico should be
authorized to make commercial trea-
ties with other nations as lIng as
"they are in compliance with the
laws of the United States."
Challenging Miss Molina's state-
ment that the majority of the Puerto
Ricans want statehood, Dr. Sergio
Pena of Puerto Rico and a graduate
student in the School of Public
Health, said: "If the United States
Government would grant statehood
to Puerto Rico, few of the people
would turn it down. Nevertheless,
the vast majority of Puerto Ricans
are staunch advocators of a com-
plete sovereign government."
Miss Molina stated that the Uni-
versity of Puerto Rico has estab-
lished a center for the foreign ex-
change of educational and academic
ideas and for the promotion of mu-
tual understanding among the coun-
tries of Pan-America.
.Describing the war situation, she
said that 90 per cent of the single
men are now in military service.
"When the draft law was passed in
1940, the Puerto Ricans responded
immediately to the requirements of
the war and the country's allotment
was completely filled by voluntary
enlistment," she added.
WACs To Go to France
LONDON, Aug. 9.- (A')- Three
thousand of the 6,500 WACs in the
European theatre of U.S. Army op-
erations will be moved to France,
following 300 already there.

tal the opportunity to hear discus-
sions of important issues of the day

United States international policy

then in a general question and
answer period. Theisolationist view-
point was presented by Mrs. Neely,
an instructor in Southern Illinois
Teachers College, Carbondale, Illi-
nois, and the question of participa-
tion in an international organization
was undertaken by Miss Siegan, who
received the Eleanor Clay Ford Award
in debating for 1943-44.

lage, and Bartley Gorman, 21, of
