The initial concert of the Univer- sity Musical Society will be given in Hill auditorium Thursday evening, October 12, at which time Madame Louise Homer, one of the world's most distinguished contraltos, and for years one of the greatest drawing cards at the Metropolitan Opera House will appear. This fall she will give but one song recital and through a fortunate combination of circum- stances the Ann Arbor management was able to secure this date. On November 8, the second number will be given by Fritz Kreisler, the eminent Austrian violinist who ranks as one of the foremost exponents of his art in the world. During the early days of the war he served in the Aus- trian army as an officer and after be- ing severely wounded was discharged and resumed his work in music. On December 12, Ossip Gabrilo- vitsch, the Russian pianist, long rec- ognized as the successor of Rubin- stein, will be heard. Like Kreisler, he stands among the leaders. When he was last heard in Ann Arbor six years ago he made a wonderful im- pression and there has been a great demand since thtrtime forehisareturn appearance., On January 26, Dr. Karl Muck will bring his wonderful Boston Symph- ony Orchestra consisting of nearly 100 artists to Ann Arbor. This organi- zation was last heard in 1912 in Hill auditorium at which time every avail- able inch was occupied and hundreds were turned away. The Pre-Festival series will be brought to a close by a joint recital by Harold Bauer, pianist, and Pablo Casals, the well-known Spanish 'cellist. This concert will also prove a most fitting forerunner to the May Festival to follow later. Both are artists of high rank and their joint appearances have been features of the musical world. The Festival as usual will consist of six concerts given during four days in May. The University Choral Union and a Special Chorus of several hun- dred school children under the direc- tion of Dr. Stanley and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Frederick Stock, will furnish the musical back- ground, while a large number of the world's leading artists will take part in the different programs. The Choral Union will appear in Elgar's "Dream of Gerontius" and Verdi's "Aida" which will be given with an all star cast of soloists. The Children's Chorus will again be heard in the "Walrus and the Carpenter" which was so well received at the first ap- pearance of the children four years ago. The public sales of course reserved seat tickets will begin Saturday morn- ing, October 7, at the box office in Hill auditorium. On this date choice of reserved seats in the house will be offered at $6.00 each. These tickets may be reserved for the May Festival provided the "cover coupon" attached thereto is returned on Saturday morn- ing, March 3, and a further payment of $4.00 made. On Monday morning, March 9, Block "A" consisting of all remaining seats on the first floor and the first six rows in the First Balcony will be placed on sale at $4.00 each. On e a success of it. Un surpasscd appreciat- The Wolverine, Michigan's summer school newspaper, finished a success- ful term August 24, and left on record a number of innovations, including foreign and city news, and a series of Saturday supplements. The edi- tors, Verne E. Burnett, '17, and C. Verne Sellers, '17, (business manager) were assisted by a staff of more than twenty-five students, comprising the largest and most experienced staff of any Wolverine on record. The extras were published during Commencement week. The supple- ments included one on the Shakes- pearean tercentenary, on the Michigan menat Plattsburg and the Mexican border, on the buildings proposed or now going up at Michigan,, on the football teams, and numerous others. A series of anonymous articles by men high in the leadership of Michigan opinion were also among the innova- tions, which marked the summer's run. The work was aided by Prof. Lee A White, now acting as head of the jour- nalism department at the University of Washington. Irwin C. Johnson, '16, and Waldo R. Hunt, '16, sent reports to The Wolverine from Europe. Five women students worked throughout the summer on the publication, thus breaking all records for the number of women workers on a student publi- cation throughout a term. Credit was for the first .time:given by the sum- mer session for work on the summer paper. Walter R. Atlas, '18, and Bruce A. Swaney, '18, acted as news editors. Tom C. Reid, '17, Ralph Folz, '17, and Phil C. Pack, '18, were associate edi- tors. Marian Wilson, '18, was wom- an's editor, and H. C. Garrison, '17, was sports editor. SOUTHERN SOLDIERS LIGHT SAY RECRUFFING OFFICERS Washington, Oct. 3.-The average weight of men south of the Mason and Dixon line is from four to six pounds lighter than the average weight of men north of it, say United States Marine Corps recruiting officers operating there, in a report received at Marine Corps headquarters today. These re- cruiting officers have asked that the minimum weight for recruits in the south be reduced from 124 to 120 pounds, stripped. "The large raw-boned Southerner" is seldom seen, the recruiting officers aver, and, while the men of the south are as sound and fit as the men of any other section, they are usually small- boned and light in weight. The offi- cers point out in their recommendation that some of the best "hikers" and fighters in the Marine Corps are the lean, wiry men from the southland. forty-seven years' iess experience success.
