series on Mar. 4. He has toured the

greatest of today's younger gen-
eration of violinists."

ances here.
Rudolph Serkin
Pianist Rudolf Serkin will per-
form on Dec. 3. He has appeared

owner of several violins, including
a Stradivarius, has been acclaimed

ble of highly dramatic interpreta-
tion."

'DAILY' TRAVELLERS:

ABOARD THE S. S. MARINE
TIGER EN ROUNTE TO LE-
HAVRE, (Delayed) - Approxi-
mately 600 American college stu-
dents, among them seven from the
University of Michigan, are near-
ing the end of a nine-day voyage
aboard this ship which will take
them to all parts of Europe on
tours, to universities, and to live
and work among Europeans for
the summer months.
This group is only a small part
of the thousands of American stu-
dents who have taken advantage
of opportunities to travel to every
sector of the globe during the
summekof 1948. Many of them
are making the trip aboard the
"Tiger" and its sister ship, the
"Marine Jumper," which were do-
nated by the United States Mari-
time Commission intconjunction
with the United States Lines to

A Cool Place To Dine on Fine Food!

provide low-cost travel facilities
for students and professors.
Sightseeing To Study
American students are invading
Europe for every purpose from
sightseeing to serious study. For
example, Michigan's Dorothy Dow,
Marjorie Reber, Charles Strick-
land, and Bill Mundus are on their
way to England to take part in
the British Work Camp Project;
Norm Talner, "U" med student,
will work in a hospital in Oslo,
Norway while attending a confer-
ence there; and the two writers
will study Europeon reconstruc-
tion problems at the University of
Zurich in Switzerland.
Altogether the ship's roster in-
cludes passengers representing no
less than 30 organizations and
every one of the 48 states. Not
only college students but emeritus
professors and precocious young-
sters are on their way to do their
bit for international harmony and
good will.
Babel Afloat
An orientation program, spon-
sored by the American Friends
Service Committee, has coliducted
classes in German, French, Ital-
ian, Russian, Hindustani, Hunga-
rian, and Norwegian each' day.
When the informal practice ses-
sions gather in the gun tubs and
other portions of the sun deck, the
"Tiger" resembles a sea-going
Tower of Babel. In addition, the
program has provided political
discussions, a variety show, folk
dances, and movies running the
gamut from the documentary,
"Seeds of Destiny," to "Sioux City
Sue" with Gene Autry.
Life on the "Tiger" is far from
the rigorous, ' Spartan existence
which many would expect on a
low-cost student ship. The ship's
larder was packed with every kind
of provision from roast duckling
to raspberry pie, and on the
Fourth of July a full-course sir-
loin steak banquet was served.
Furthermore, the passengers even
had their own daily paper, the
"Tiger Rag," which carried the
latest world news flashed from the
States by wireless.
And the coeds had no curfew.

bridge" has polytonality, while
"Charlie Rutlage" and "The
Greatest Man" are tonally more
conventional.

ushering at the Monday night per-
formance of "Down in the Valley"

The
City Beat
Ann Arbor's widely publicized
dogs are destined to ride in style
in the future.
The Ann Arbor Humane Society
announced yesterday that it has
purchased a new panel truck to
serve as an animal ambulance.
The dogs formerly were crammed
into a station wagon.
* * *
A Washtenaw raccoon must be
complacently enjoying a good rac-
coon laugh today.
Four hunters who were stalk-
ing this raccoon 'just before dawn
yesterday morning were appre-
hended by two Conservation offi-
cers before they could catch up
with the animal.
The four hunters are resting
quietly in the county jail awaiting
trial for hunting out of season.

Monday night the City Council
approved an amendment to the
building code permitting the erec-
tion of steel and porcelain enam-
eled steel restaurants without
yards being required.

sas City.
Education and Entertainment
Homer E. Underwood, Interna-
tional Center program director and
conductor of the tour, promises
participants much entertainment
and free food along the way, in
addition to the educational value
of the tour. The Junior Chamber
of Commerce in Ann Arbor has co-
operated with similar organiza-
tions in other places in arranging
for banquets, and tours through
industrial areas.
Trained guides have been en-
gaged to conduct students to local
beauty spots and points of inter-
elt. But enterprising students will
still have time for independent ex-
plorations of the countryside.
For further information, the In-
ternational Center may be con-
tacted.
