Mu Phi Holds High Standards Recognition of superior music ability and scholarship is the aim of Mu Phi Epsilon, national pro fessional music sorority, and to this end the organization carries on a varied program on the cam pus. Membership in Miu Phi is limit ed to music majors and minors with a 3.00 accumulative in all subjects, a standard which must be maintained for initiation and to retain voting privileges within the group. Each pledge must have a faculty recommendation attest ing to her potential performance ability and general aptitude. Mu Phi’s most recent activity was the series of three operas pre sented this week in conjunction with the two other music honorar ies on the campus. Casts were en tirely of music school students. The local group holds an annual bridge benefit to purchase opera and instrumental scores for stu dent and faculty use. The opera scores are in the Douglass room of the library with the Mu Phi rec ord collection, while the instru mental scores are kept in the mu sic school. Other activities include a joint reception with Phi Beta tor new women music majors and minors in the fall, winter term record con certs in the browsing room of the library, and a chamber concert se ries sponsored jointly with Phi Beta and Phi Mu Alpha. During the summer members write let ters of welcome to women appli cants to the school of music, and during freshman week maintain an information booth at the music school to help new students regis ter.

A Shady Place (Continued from page six) were “improving their property.” They ran into immediate resis tance when supporters of the res toration formed a blockade of automobiles to block the dirt hauling trucks from their desti nation. The little altercation seeming ly speeded up the restoration pro ject. Less than a month ago, at the April 11 city council meet ing, an MPA spokesman said more than 80 percent of the ease ments had been obtained, and the final go-ahead signal was given by the council.
