OF. DOWRIE TO
LEAVE UNIVERSITY
MUZID DELIGHTS
LARGE AUIEC
Minneapolis, May 17.-Prof. George
W. Dowrie, of the economics depart-
ment of the Upiversity of Michigan,
will leave at the end of the present
semester to teach general economics
and banking here.
Professor Dowrie has been at the
University for the last five years,
where he gave special courses in
banking. He has written several books
on this subject, among them being the
"Development of Banking in Illinois
from 1817 to 1863." which presents a
careful and illuminating survey of a
significant period in banking history.
His interest in banking has not
been confined to the university curri-
culum, as he has been actively con-
nected with the Michigan Bankers' as-
sociation, being an advisor to the edu-
cational committee of that organiza-
tion.
Professor Dowrie will be connected
with the Guaranty Trust Co., of New
York during the coming summer. He
will take up his new work in the Uni-
versity of Minnesota in September.

NOTED SINGERS TO PRESENT
BIZET'S "CARMEN" TONIGHT
Joseph Bannat to Give Organ Recital
At Matinee Festival
Concert
(By Edna L. Apel)
Although the orchestra was in its
finest of moods at" the May Festival
concert last evening, the chief inter-
est centered in the local debut of the
much-heralded Claudia Muzio.
Mme. Muzio's voice is a magnifi-
cient example of Italian artistry and
superb vocalism. It is full of intense
feeling and pathos. It is evident
from her dramatic interpretations
that she was brought up in an operatic
atmosphere. Mme. Muzio was recall-
ed many times, responding generously
to encores. Besides several repeti-
ons she sang Puccini's "Madame
Butterfly" and "The Star Spangled
Banner." She ran onto the platform
envelloped- in a flag which was pre-
sented to her yesterday by the women
of Detroit, in the Hotel Statler, whom
she aided in selling War saving
stamps.
The Schumann symphony in D mi-
nor is a numbed which is continuous
in performance as well as in concep-
tion. The oboe and violincello melo-
dies in the introduction are repeated
throughout by different groups of in-
struments in varing intensities of
volume. The crescendo and descre-
scendo passages, ending in delicate
trills, are delightful.
Love Songs of Indians
McDowell's "Indian Suite" in three
movements is a fine representation
of the wierd,. somewhat heavy music.
of the American Indian.
"L'Apprenti Sorcier," by Dukas, is
a lively, energetic theme. The rushing
of water is carried by all the violins
in unision and the mystic sorcery by
the drums and horns. The number
ends in a sharp, precise, finale with
the full orchestra. Elgars' familiar
"Pomp and Circumstance" concluded
the evenings program.
Ganz Plays
Rtudolph Ganz, the Swiss pianist,
was greeted with vociferous applause
at the matinee concert.

All Appointed Students Affected
Draft Asked to Report to
Headquarters
Two hundred eleven cadets in thel
University R. O. T. C. have been re-
commended by Lieut. George C. Mul-
len to attend the summer training
camp to be held for one month, begin-
ning June 3, at Fort Sheridan, Ill.
The names of 46 alternates, who will
take the places of students unable to
attend camp, were also chosen.
A number of the cadets who have
been recommended have been called
by the draft, or are unable to attend
the camp, and Lieutenant Mullen asks
each student thus affected to notify
him immediately in order that an al-
ternate may be substituted.
With the exception of a few stu-
dents, all the men in the lists are over
21 years of age. Dean Cooley, of the
engineering college, believes that the
older men, who may be called in the
draft in July, August, of September,
ought to have the preference over the
younger students.
"Dean Cooley's, idea is a splendid
one," stated Lieut. Losey J. Williams
yesterday afternoon. "The students
subject to draft in the near future will
be given an excellent opportunity to
obtain the first rudiments of strenuous'
military training before entering a
cantonment camp."
Following are the names of the
cadets recommended for the camp:
Leigh C. Anderson, Henry N. Ander-
son, Sidney E. Anderson, Hans P.
Anderson, Robert C. Angell, Clare
Angell, Farley W. Angell, Edward M.
Apple, Clayton P. Amitage, Lee Ash,

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
TOTALS $4,170,019,650
Washington, May 17.-The total of
the third Liberty Loan is $4,170,019,-
650, an oversubscription of 39 per
cent of the $3,000,000,000 minimum.
The number of subscribers was about
17,000,000,000. Every federal reserve
district oversubscribed.
The total subscriptions to the sec-
ond Loan was $4,616,000,000. Pledges
to the first loan ran about $3,000,000,-
000. In the standing of districts, Chi-

Actual receipts from payments on
third Liberty Loan bonds today
amounted to $1,571,407,000, although

000,000 is due. This indicates that
many have paid in full.

In the meantime, letters will be sent
to all students who do not already own
a full-paid life membership. The so-
licitors will aproach all those who do
not respond to the written appeals.
The $250,000 which the committee
plans to raise will be used to install
in the new building only such appar-
atus and furnishings as are essential
to the building's use by the army me-
chanics. This amount will be expend-
ed for false floors, plumbing and san-
itary facilities, glazing and doors,
kitchen and storehouse fixtures, heat-
ing apparatus, and barracks accom-
modations. All except about 50,000 or
$60,000 worth of this material will
serve both as emergency and perman-
ent equipment.f
FRATERNITY REPRESENTATIVES
HOLD JOINT MEETING SUNDAY
Fraternities which intend to have
booths at the Michigan Union carni-
val have been asked to send one rep-
resentative each to a joint meeting at
9:30 Sunday morning in the -Engi-
neering society's rooms in the Engi-
neering building.
Fraternities that have not made any
previous arrangements may secure in-
formation at the meeting. The com-
mittee in charge will explain the de-
tails and take the names of houses
wishing to have booths. Houses that
fail to send delegates will probably
forfeit their opportunity to partici-
pate.
