TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1944 TWO FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1944 Center Aids 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.

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 Start the Semester Right....f Every student needs some school supplies at the beginning of each semester. Ball & Thrasher will supply what you need. Plan to visit Ball & Thrasher when you arrive in Ann Arbor. STUDENT SUPPLIES OFFICE SUPPLI ES TYPEWRITERS ON THE AIR University Will Sponsor Nine Radio Prog rains This Fall Nine weekly programs originating in the University broadcasting stu- dios at Morris Hall and broadcast over station WKAR, East Lansing, and WJR, Detroit, during the sum- mer term will continue as regularly scheduled programs this fall. Fan mail amounting to 200 weekly requests for manuscripts of the "Problems in Medicine" talks by fac- ulty members of the medical school places this program on top of the popularity list.
