This winter the University band has been on deck at every turn and corn er to help out, the boys have worked faithfully and have managed, in spite of all the interruptions, to get together an unusually complete library of pieces. Selections such as Faust, The Bohem ian Girl, Tannhauser, the “Martha” Overture, Medley from the Operas and II Trovntore they have down pat and can play at a minute's notice This lust undertaking is the biggest of all. In the first place, ten numbers will compose the concert program, the variety to run from classical to popular and back again. Heavy overtures, marches, vocal solos and an instrumental sextet will be featured; the wohlo pro gram will be new, selected especially for this concert, and the members will be worked up in the next two weeks.

Patriotism was the keynote of an ad dress given this afternoon at drill by Bishop W. T. Sumner to the University men. The Bishop expressed himself surprised at the military training dis [ played. “You boys drill as if you meant it,” he said. "It seems to me that this work is the right kind for the University to do, for it does not interfere with the regular curriculum.” Bishop Sumner addressed the women of the University this afternoon at Vil lard hall on the subject of vocational guidance. lie enumerated the various fields open to women, and urged that the women of today look with hope to ward the future. “Women must supply themselves with courage,” said the Bishop. “War brings many trials, but an ability to look upon the blight side of life is a valuable asset at present.” The Bishop addressed an audience of 500 University and townspeople at the vesper services Sunday afternoon in \ il lard Hall on the subject “University Life and Four Religious Difficulties.” lie chose as his text, “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and render unto God the things which are God’s.” W. T. Sumner Makes lit* mentioned as the first ot the lour difficulties which present themselves to college students, the difficulty of ob taining a conception of God, of realiz ing his omniscience. The second difficulty was that of ob serving the Sabbath. This was pre sented as a very real difficulty to col lege students. The need of going to God s house on the Subbath and worshipping devoutly and sincerely was emphasized. The third difficulty was that of pray er. “Many refuse to pray,” he said, "because they say that their prayers have not been answered. They have prayed for things which God knew were not good for them, and therefore has been obliged to refuse them their peti tions. Some say it is difficult to pray. I*ray for others first, and then it will be much easier to pray for yourself, Be gin by praying for those at the front.” The intellectual difficulties which arise in every college course formed the fourth difficulty. "The reason that these difficulties are able to arise at all,” ex plained the Bishop, "is that students in colleges really know only half, and even less than half, of the things they should know about God, and about llis Book.” Bead the Bible and study it as hard ns you study biology and the sciences and philosophy and you will find that this ceases to be a real difficulty.” lie ex plained that the fault does not lie with the subjects, nor with the faculty, but only in the lack of sufficient understand ing on the part of the students. In speaking briefly of the crisis in which our country is at present,, Bishop Sumner said, "Now is the time for cool judgment, for saneness of mind. Do not misunderstand me. 1 make no plea for any lack of patriotism. Keep your heads in the clouds of patriotism, but keep your feet on the ground.” The University choir gave selections from the “Seven Last Words of Christ,” Dubois. A baritone sole by William Vawter “God My Father”, and tenor solo by Dean Lyman and baritone solo by Vawter, “Verily, Thou Shalt Be” com pleted the musical program, Dr. C. F. Loomis presided. TO HOLD SWIMMING MEET Sophomore Girls Challenge Freshmen Co-eds to Contest Saturday. The sophomore girls of the University have issued a challenge to the freshmen girls for a swimming meet to take place in the Men’s Gymnasium next Saturday ' the last day of Junior Week-end. The meet will be one of the regular events i of the d ly and everyone is invited to be j present. If conference athletics had not been ' discontinued at the University, two base- ' ball games between the Varsity and O. j A. C. would have been played Friday and ! Saturday, with a track meet staged for j Saturday with the University of Wash ington. But in view of the fact that these games have been called off, the University women are planning to make the events in sports as favorable and exciting as possible. The details of the meet have not as yet been worked out. but according to Miss Rader, instructor in the Women’s Gymnasium, the plans will all be com pleted before Junior Week-end.
