Cosmopolitan Club
Paul Meadows, professor of
sociology, will speak on the "Sat

p.m. in Room 316 of the Union.
No man, Wishnow said, would
hope to investigate all existing
examples of chamber music.
Therefore, he said, "I'm going to
limit my search this summer to a
few composers."
The English composers he will
study are William Byrd, Thomas
Morley, John Dunstable, Thomas
Dowland and Orlando Gibbons.
They wrote music for voices and
instruments, but "did not always
specify whether for voices or in
struments," he said.
In investigating the works pf
these men, Wishnow said, "I hope
to satisfy my curiosity I have re
garding the English period of early
chamber music.
"I have always been interested
in this period of music. But we
do not know just what was the
essence of their writings" which
he termed "an intimate form of
music for strings."
Chamber music of early English
composers is relatively simple,
Wishnow declared. That, however,
"does not rob it of its effective
ness or possibilities on the con
cert stage," be said.

-The Outside World'
Diem Victorious
By DICK RALSTON
Staff Writer
Premier Ngo Dinh Diem emerged as victor in Saigon, Vietnam,
after a hectic struggle for power. An attempted coup by a backer of
chief of state Bao Dai collapsed Sunday, leaving premier Diem stul
head of the government of South Viet Nam.
Diem is vigorously anti-communisi, strongly nationalistic and has
American backing. Bao Dai, however, has strong French backing,
and has been described as a French "puppet." The United States has
appealed to the French to switch their support to Premier Diem in
the hopes that a recognized strong government will be able to with
stand threatened Communist subversion and conquest from the North.
Occupation To End
International legal authorities are studying a curious situation
which win arise at the end of this week, when Allied military occupa
tion of Western Germany comes to an end. While West Germany wfll
become a soverign and independent nation at that time, she will not
have control or rearmament and defense arrangements.
Treaties call for a four-power agency of Western allies and Ger
man representatives to control rearmament during the transitional
period, but no moves have been made to establish this agency.
Present plans cell for the Allied High Commission, which has super
vised occupation, to meet for the last time Thursday and decree it

Spring Dance
May Band To Make
Second Appearance
The reorganized Billy May band
will be making its second local
appearance May 11 when the group
will play for the Spring dance.
May's band played for the Inter
fraternity Council Ball at a local
ballroom last year.
Sam Donahue, who is currently
directing the band, replaced May
in 1953 when May signed an ex
clusive contract with Capitol Re
cording Co.
May still does all the arranging
for the band in addition to his
arranging work for Capitol Rec
ords, which necessitates his per
manent residence in Hollywood.
Donahue was selected because
of his extensive and varied back
ground, according to May. Dona
hue is also noted as one of the
nation's leading tenor saxophone
players.
The band first attracted public
attention 22 months ago and has
risen to become highly ac
claimed in the field of popular
music. The group has been dis
tinguished for its "fresh approach"
to popular music and also the
famous "slurping saxes."
Donahue formed his first band
while attending high school in De
troit. The group played for nearly
two years in local ballrooms and
then split to gain experience. His
group" later was the nucleus of
future bands which Donahue con
ducted. In 1938, Donahue took a job with
Gene Krupa, one of the nation's
foremost jazz artists. In 1940, he
worked with the Harry James
group for a short period and joined
Benny Goodman later that year.
Donahue toured with his one bana
until he was drafted. In the Navy
he continued his musical career
playing on the armed services net
work. After the war, Donahue reformed
his own band which toured the
country successfully. He was re
called into the Navy when the Kor
ean War broke out and arranged
for Navy bands.
In 1951, Donahue accepted a po
sition as Tommy Dorsey's assist
ant leader. He stayed with Dorsey
until he took over the May band
in 1953.
