OFFICER TELLS----
Naval officers are contacting over 900 institutions in the country trying to get officers. The officer left his audience with this thought in mind.
"We are in a raging war and it is a war for our very existence. If we intend to come out as victors, we're going to have to tighten up our belts and go to work. The Navy is no bed of roses and everyone in it is going to have to make sacrifices."
A student eligible for the class V-1 program must be a freshman or sophomore and must have reached his twentieth birthday more than 60 days prior to completion of his sophomore year. He must, because of his age, get permission from his parents to enter class V-1.
Students interested in the new program may obtain parents' permission blanks at the office of the registrar where they may also make applications for entrance into V-1.
Naval officers will return to the campus at some date in the near future to take enlistments.
'NICE CAMPUS'----
cided to really study music in earnest and went abroad for four years." years."
While in Paris Mr. Harris wrote a concerto for clarinet and piano, a string quartet, a piano sonata, a suite for women's chorus, a suite for two pianos, and a four-movement symphony. He also completed another symphony which he withdrew as Stowkowski and the Philadelphia Symphony orchestra were rehearsing it because he didn't like it.
Mr. Harris is now working on his sixtieth composition, having to his credit four symphonies of which the last is a choral symphony, three string quartets, two piano sonatas, a piano quintet, string sextet, a viola quintet, and numerous bits of choral music, smaller works for orchestra, and songs.
Now he is engaged in writing for
the symphonic band. In his piano concerto he used the symphonic band instead of an orchestra at the Michigan University festival this year. He intends to add a string section to the symphonic band and get an entirely different type of orchestra. "This has never been done," he added, "but I intend to do it within the next two years. In fact I'm trying it next year at Michigan."
"The important thing in the development of American culture is the acquisition of musical literature serviceable to all organizations on the campus and to high schools.
"Also if music is going to be a vital force it must be because the student body gets pleasure out of doing it. The foundation of American culture will be in our schools. Just like the foundation of athletics is in the university. Real social enjoyment is in university football because of personal interest, not in professional.
"A similar situation exists in the arts. Such fine performers are in the universities that they already approach the professional. The best coming out of the schools will go on to play and sing and create a better understanding of it. Whoops. Gotta go meet Mr. Geltch," and the mild-mannered Mr. Harris dashed off to the Fine Arts office, waving a greeting to various students in the hall as he went by.
