ASUO Men’s Glee Club
Gets Landsbury’s OK
John J. Landsbury, dean of the school of music, expressed his
approval of the new ASUO activity of a men's glee club Tuesday.
“I have been tremenduously pleased,” he said, ‘‘over the the fact
that the ASUO has added a men’s glee club as an activity. The school
of music is aways vitally interested in any movement which will tend
to make the student body music conscious. This movement has the
full cooperation and support of the school of music.”
He added that the new activity
conflicts in no way with the Poly
phonic choir or the efforts of Phi
Mu Alpha to improve the quality
of singing' on the campus.
"I feel there has for years been
s real need of an organization of
this kind. The school of music has
placed at the disposal of the ASUO
all facilities for carrying on this
most worth while new activity."
Commenting on the many pur
poses of the new glee club, he
stated that not only would this or
jganization furnish activity for
many students not now provided
with an activity outlet, but would
in addition furnish practise to
men's organizations for their after
dinner singing and serenades.
Plans for using the chorus as an
nucleus of the chorus for the “Stu
dent Prince,” if it is given here
j next fall, are being made. At the
present, it is hoped and expected
