Internationals
Foreign Students Enjoy
Recreational Activities
The University International Cen-
ter which was established for the
purpose of aiding foreign students
in adjusting to their American en-
vironment serves both as a club for
foreign students and as a place
where Americans can come to know
students from many lands.
Counseling Offered
At the prosent time there are over
300 foreign students studying at the
University to whom the Center of-
fers counseling service as well as
opportunities for recreational and
vocation activities.
The International Center was first
opened in 1938. One of the most im-
ortant phases of its program is the
English Language Service which aids
foreign students in speaking and
comnprehending English.
Weekly Teas Given
One of the Center's most popular
activities is the weekly Thursday
afternoon teas. Various language
tables are always organized for these
bs that foreign students can be aided
with their English and American stu-
dents can be helped with other lan-
guages they may be learning such as
Spanish, Russian, German and
French.
The Counselor's Office was organ-
ized by the University in 1933, even
before the formal organization of the
International Center itself. The
Counselor's Office helps foreign stu-
dents with their problems of housing
and employment registration and
classification, language, immigration
and naturalization and personal af-
fairs.
Summer Activities Varied
Among the Center's activities dur-
ing the summer were picnics, month-
ly dances, clubs such as the stamp
club and the camera club, a large
reception for all the new students,
and other recreational activities.
With the Spanish Department the
International Center sponsored a
series of lectures during the summer
session which was delivered by many
prominent Latin Americans taking
courses at the University.
Games Provided.
The Center entertains foreign stu-
dents not only by special parties,
but also in their free hours during
the day. Ping pong, bridge and
chess are popular leisure time ac-
tivities among the foreign students.
During the coming months the
Center plans to expand its activ-
ities in conjunction with the inter-
ests of the many foreign students
who are expected.
VOCAL MORALE BOOSTERS:
Men's Glee Club Serenades,
Participates in CampusSing
To build up morale and to keep
alive the spirit of the cherished
Michigan songs through the years
are the aims of tne varsity Glee
club for men which will again be
heard on the campus this year.
Prof. David Mattern of the School
of Music will continue as director,
and will guide the Glee Club through
its performances promised for the
next terms. Student 'Vfficers will
also have the responsibility of man-
aging.
The Glee Club will appear during
freshman week to entertain the new
students and is scheduling an all-
campus sing on the steps of the
Main Library one evening. Seren-
ades at many of the residence halls
will be given during the week. Plans
and rehearsals for future concert
programs will be decided later.
During the past summer the Glee
Club has been active with more than
1Nii
50 members participating. Serenades
and the campus sing were among the
features offered. Few trips can be
planned for the coming year. Prof.
Mattern said, since transportation
restrictions are strict but the Glee
Club will have many programs for
campus entertainment.

MICHIGAN'S MARCHING BAND-Acclaimed as "The All-American Band" by Associated Press sports writers, the University marching
band is shown parading down the field between halves of a football game with the stadium well packed. Note gesticulating cheerleaders
on sidelines.
NUCLEUS FOR MICHIGAN SCHOOL SPIRIT:
University Bands To Participate in Major Events
Michigan's bands, an integral part of student life, will again be heard'
on the campus this year, participating in every major event and forming
a nucleus for Michigan school spirit.
Under the leadership of Prof. William Revelli, the marching band
will appear at all home games of the football team at the Stadium this
fall as well as at military parades, reviews and at Friday night pep
sessions. It has a wide reputation'-- -- ---
from the University's own studios at
Morris Hall. In additions the band
has been heard on major networks at
home and while on tour. Much of
the new literature being composed
for the modern symphonic band is
thus brought to the public.
Of the total membership in the
concert band, 55 or more than half
of the membership of 90, are enroll-
ed in colleges in the University other
than music. It shows that music
still provides an enjoyable avocation
Awards for service in the Michigan
band are made each year at the an-
nual spring banquet. A silver watch
charm is the reward for one year's
participation, a gold ring for two'
a band "M" sweater for three years
and a "M" blanket for four years.
for its intricate and well executed
formations and the ability to pro-
duce, at the same time, excellent
field music.
Band Acclaimed
The marching band has been ac-
claimed as "The All-American Band"
by Associated Press sports writers and
has been enthusiastically received in
Philadelphia, New York, Boston, New
Haven and many other college sites.
During the past year the band ap-
peared on 64 different occasions or
better than twice each week through-
out the year. Starting weeks before
the opening of school in the fall, the
band season continues to June and
Commencement Day.
Another unit is the symphonic
band which gives several programs
during the year on campus and in
near-by communities. The famous
New York bandmaster, Dr. Edwin
Goldman, has . said that it stands
without peer among college bands.
Women Denied Membership
Until the coming of Prof. Revelli
to the University in 1935 women were.
denied membership in the bands. Al-
though the marching band is still re-
served for the male students, he be-
lieves that the addition of capable
women instrumentalists would add
both charm and musicianship to the
group.
All bands, including the "pops"
band officiating at home basketball
games, are open to all students on
campus. Ben in the army, Navy as
well as civilians are invited to audi-
tion.
Auditions for membership for the
marching and concert band will be
held from Oct. 23 through Nov. 4
at Morris Hall, Prof. Revelli an-
nounced. The hours are from 9 a. m.
to noon and from to to 5 p. m.
Positions Open
"All students with previous high
school or college band experience are
urged to audition for membership,"
he added, "as there are positions
open in every section."
One of the attractions of the con-
cert band is that it broadcasts over
station WJR, Detroit, at intervals
