Choir Pleases Large Crowd With Program
BY JOHN CONARD
Inspiration - the A Cappella Choir had it, director Dean D. M. Swarthout had it, and they passed it on to their audience of approximately 2,000 at their spring concert in Hoch auditorium last night.
The program opened with two sterling classical works, "Tu Es Petrus" (Palestrina), and "Born Today" (Sweelinck). They were sung with a fine sense of their proper styles, the Palestrina in a pure, etherial manner, and the Sweelinck sang with as much ease as if it with a jovial heartiness that would have warmed the Dutch heart of its composer.
The program was taxing and diversified, and the choir showed a professional finish that many a vaunted choral group of international fame could not match.
Dean Swarthout deserves great commendation for arranging a program of diverse schools and styles. Unhampered by ecclesiastical inhibitions, he offered fine secular numbers which are too often absent from choir programs.
A music group has finally been found which can sing Gretchaninoff numbers as they should be sung. The choir sang four of them, and did well on each. Especially good was "Autumn," intensely Russian in its impassioned feeling.
The second half opened with a little gem by Muzicheski-Tkach, "Cherubim Song," which the choir had been written by Smith or Jones.
The last group consisted of three Negro spirituals, the first one of which, "Levee Moan," was composed and conducted by a member of the choir, Clarence Peterson, college junior. Peterson revealed a real talent in this offering. "Tse Mighty Tired" was especially noteworthy for a sensitively sung incidental solo by Edgar Haage, baritone and fine arts junior.
Business Students View Versatile Machines
Students in the School of Business will assemble in groups of 25 this week to be lectured upon the value and capacity of 27 different machines manufactured by the Burroughs Adding Machine company.
The machines are on exhibition in the basement of Frank Strong hall where students may inspect them all this week. They range from a complicated looking mechanism which can figure twenty totals to a small computing machine.
The machines, which were shown at the New York World's fair and the New York business show, have a total value of $37,000.
Four lectures are given each day, some elementary and others advanced. All students who attend the second lecture must first attend the elementary lecture. Only 25 students may be taken at any given period.
Students should sign sheets posted in the hallway at 116 Frank Strong hall for the periods they desire to attend. Attendance at the demonstrations constitutes an excusable absence from classes in the School of Business, if students are registered properly.
Harvard Awards Moodie Business Scholarship
Walter Moodie, business senior has been awarded a national scholarship to the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration for the ensuing school year, Frank T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, has announced. Moodie will work toward a master's degree in business administration.
In the final number "The Ol' Ark's a Moverin'" the choir rather let down its hair and sang with a gusto that was next door to swing. Even Dean Swarthout got in a few sinuous movements which added to the rhythmic exuberance of the piece.
R.O.T.C. Prepares
★★★
'We're Ready'
Strains of "We're from Kansas" floating up the campus yesterday came from the R. O. T. C. drill where the University band was providing marching music for the R. O. T. C. regimental parade.
Last night's parade was complete with an inspection of the entire regiment by the R. O. T. C. staff and University reserve officers in preparation for the federal inspection to be held April 30 and May 1.

Marriage Clinic Opens Sunday
"Two hundred other colleges and universities have courses in marriage," Roberta Tucker, executive secretary of the Y.W.C.A., said today. With a new campus-wide sponsored marriage seminar, April 27, 28, and 29, featuring Mrs. Gladys Hoagland Groves, a representative group hopes to arouse enough agitation to start a similar course on the Hill.
The meetings of the seminar will be in the Memorial Union building. After a reception for Mrs. Groves Sunday afternoon, she will discuss premarital adjustment at a mass meeting of all students at 7 p.m. At both 3:30 and 4:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, she will speak on personality in marriage and at @ p.m. will discuss sex in marriage.
Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 and at 4:30 o'clock will be reserved for a talk on marriage hazards. She will close the seminar Tuesday night with a discussion of marriage counselling.
Both Mrs. Groves and her husband are pioneers in the field. Mr. E. H. Groves taught the first American college course in marriage at the University of North Carolina. His wife has collaborated on several books on the subject.
Ruth Sieg, fine arts sophomore, underwent an appendectomy at Watkins Memorial hospital recently.
