Choral Union,
prepare 'Messi

"The Messiah," in a public concert

bined 400-volce choir and the 70
piece orchestra.
Of the four participating en
sembles, the ag college chorus,
directed by Mrs. Altinas Tullis, is
the largest. Organized eleven years
ago as a hobby activity for farm
students, the chorus has increased
in membership each year until to
day it includes 130 students. This
group will give its own Christmas
program Dec. 19 in the ag student
activities building.
Other chorus groups
Other groups taking part in the
Messiah include the adult campus
chorus, made up of men and
women members of the university
staff; the Grieg male chorus, di
rected by Hermann T. Decker of
the school of music faculty; the
University Singers, directed by
W. G. Tempel; and the university
symphony, directed by Don A.
Lentz, accompanying.
Seven students will be heard in
the solo roles. Three of them, Lou
ise Stapleton, Martha McGee, so
pranos; and Dale Ganz, baritone,
took leads in the 43rd performance
of the Messiah last year.
Clark solos
Baritone leads will be sung by
Glenn Clark. Others are: Jack
Donovan, tenor; Nina Armstrong,
contralto; and Nate Holman, who
was one of the soloists in the cho
ral festival program last year.
In addition to the orchestral ac
companiment, there will be brass
quartet composed of Robert Bud
den berg, Robert Krejci, cornets;
Edward Edison, French horn; and

Propaganda for War, by H. C.
Peterson.
It is Mr. Peterson's purpose to
study in detail the ways and
means by which the British propa
gandists established their preemi
nence over the competing propa
gandists of the central powers.
The book would make the entire
nation stop, look and listen, if
enough Americans could be per
suaded to read it during this pe
riod that marks the quarter-centennial
of the outbreak of the
"Great Madness." If widely read,
the book will help vastly to pre
vent Americans from being swept
off their feet by today's fears,
hatreds, and hysterias.
Rebecca, by Daphne Du Maurier.
The heroine and narrator of this
story, after a brief courtship, be
comes the wife of an English aris
tocrat, Maxim de Winter, owner of
a fine old country home south of
England. These two are deeply in
love but the memory of Max's
first wife, Rebecca, still lingers on
at Manderley; her beauty and
charm contrasted in the minds of
servants and neighbors with the
shyness and gaucherie of the new
wife. Little by little, however, the
mystery of Rebecca's life and
death is revealed and the burden
Max has borne can finally be fully
shared. Miss Du Mauricr's plot is
undoubtedly the kind of thing
which the three girls of Hawcrth
parsonage would have liked to
thrash out as they paced the din
ing room arm-in-arm after papa
had gone to bed." Kate O'Brien.

It received a notoriety out of
