tunities to take care of those hours
between assignments.

sity student recreation are the

U' Journalism
Program Cited
By Educators
Factors Named
By Prof. Maurer
k The University's journalism de-
partment was one of 35 schools
and departments of journalism to
be accredited by the American
Council on Education for Journal-
ism recently.
The department also received
the Council's endorsement for the
news-editorial sequence of courses
which are being offered.
First Time
This is the first time that the
American Council on Education
has announced a list of accredit-
ed schools, according to Prof. Wes-
ley H. Maurer, acting head of the
journalism department.
The accrediting followed an in-
struction program which began
more than two years ago and in-
cluded reports from newspapers
employing graduates from the vt-
rious schools and departments.
Factors Cited
Prof. Maurer cited five factors
which, in his opinion, helped to
place the journalism department
on the accredited list. These five
factors are:
1. The high scholastic character
of those departments and schools
whose offerings are available to
the journalism department by vir-
tue of its being a unit in the liter-
ary college.
2. The renewed support of the
University and the invaluable
counsel given the department by
Provost James P. Adams and Dean
Howard Keniston.
3. The excellent ground work
laid by Prof. John L. Brumm, who
during his 18 years of chairman-
ship of the department pioneered
in the, field of journalism by cor-
relating journalism with the social
sciences and by advocating the'
professionalizing of journalism.
4. The cooperation and counsel
from members of the press in the
state and from former students on
newspapers and magazines
throughout the United States. j
5. The contributionmade by the
visiting instructors and visitingl
lecturers added to the teaching
staff this year.
Prof. Maurer said the journal-
ism department would be re-ex-r
amined within a five-year periodr
since the Council intends to keep
its accredited list constantly re-
vised.

A summer session program con-
sisting of three popular plays, a
musical comedy and aadouble bill
of opera will be presented by the
Department of Speech this sum-
mer.
"Of Thee I Sing," which is to be
performed July 1-3, is the Pulit-
zer Prize winning musical comedy
by George S. Kaufman and Morrie
Ryskind, with music and lyrics by
George and Ira Gershwin.
Stage Version
"The Late George Apley," a
stage version by John P. Mar-
quand and George S. Kaufman of
Mr. Marquand's Pulitzer Prize
novel, will be presented July 8-10
The play deals with George Apley,
distinguished member of the Bos-
ton Bird Watchers Society, and the
manners and mores of the Beacon
Street of 30 years ago.
"You Can't Take It With You,"
another Pulitzer play by Moss
Hart and the ubiquitous Mr.
George Kaufman, will be played
July 14-17. This play is probably
the best truly American farce ever
written. It presents a hedonistic
style of life that has been much
admired, if not emulated, by the
many audiences which have seen
it on stage and screen.
"I Remember Mama"
July 29-31 the department of
speech group will perform "I re-
member Mama," John Van Drut-
en's delightfully nostalgic story of
a Norwegian-American family in
San Francisco at the turn of the
century.
The last program offered is a
double bill of opera: "Down in the
Valley," a new work by Kurt Weill,
and "La Serva Padrona" (Maid
Becomes Mistress) by the eigh-
teenth century composer, Pergo-
lese.
First Production
"Down in the Valley" will re-
ceive its first production here.

A revolutionary record player
which holds 100 discs and provides
more than 14 hours of continuous
music is now on display in Ann
Arbor.
A The newly-developed instru-
ment, known as the Seeburg Se-
lect-O-Matic "200" Library,
threatens to replace juke boxes
and various amplifying systems in
several local restaurants and tav-
erns. It plays both 10-inch and
12-inch records which may be in-
termixed in any order.
Records are "filed" side by side
in upright positions on the ma-
chine. East position has a cor-
responding switch which can be
adjusted to play either or both
sides of a given record. A vertical
turntable is mounted on tracks be-
hind the row of discs and moves
automatically from one position to
the next. Records are played in a
vertical position and are never
turned over nor dropped.
The versatile device is also
equipped with a program timer
which automatically controls rec-
ord or radio programs. The timer
is calibrated in 15-minute inter-
vals and programs may be select-
ed in advance to start playing-
or to stop playing-whenever de-
sired. Programs for an entire
week in advance can be selected
and played automatically merely
by adjusting the timer.
Terrace Party
The International Center will
sponsor a Terrace Party and
Dance in the Rackham Assembly
Hall at 8 p.m. Saturday. Refresh-
ments will be served, and an op-
portunity will be given for new
foreign students to become ac-
quainted. A dance will follow the
reception. All University students
and faculty members are invited
to attend the party and the dance.

Additional features include am-
plifying attachments to provide
for paging and broadcast facili-
ties.
Several models of the ingenious
mechanism are being distributed
by a Main Street radio dealer at
prices ranging from $1125.00 to
$1725.00.
