list’s Mrs. Volpes plea to University students this week. Fifty are needed to fill the chorus that will sing Mendel-io Elijah on April 18. Accompanied by the svmohonv 1 ""l*^ orchestra and led by a four-man quartet of profeasional singers (including Arturo Di Pillippi), the Oratorio will be presented as the last feature of the University’s subscription concert series of the school year.
Anyone who can carry a tune and is interested in singing is invited to come to ieheraaals of the University chorus which are held on Monday evenings at 7 p.m. or the mixed chorus rehearsals which are held on Monday afternoons at 3 p.m. and Friday afternoons at 2 p.m. in the Granada building. One credit is given for participation in either chorus.
Faculty members and service men (if they will still be here on April 18) are especially invited to “put their two cents worth in.’’ Other outsiders are also welcome.
Robert Reinert, member of the music school faculty, is directing the chorus. He is willing to make arrangements for rehearsals at other hours to convenience participants.
“We have overcome the shortage of muaicians in our symphony orchestra this year,” Mrs. Volpe states, “If more students come out for the chorus, we can make the Oratorio a success.”
Rehearsals will start in earnest on Monday night, Feb. 1, Reinert announces. All those interested should consult him in his office in the music building.—REG

That's what we have to say to the members of the War council. Early in the semester a lew energetic souk organised the group to coordinate and plan all war activities on the University campus. They pledged themselves to enlighten the student body on its roll in the war. They pledged themselves to get action where action was neded.	<
So what?
They had signs printed to direct students how to. evacuate the building in case of an emergency air raid or fire. They	up
the signs in the various rooms. Now the signs are gathering dust and doodles. There has been one drill—a weak affair held an a Thursday morning when few students were in school.
For the past two weeks the council has been carrying on a bloodtyping campaign. Let’s amend that statement. It was the APO boys all the way on that project.
So what?
For a while, bonds and stamps were being sold in front of the cafeteria, but it looks like that was a sorority affair.
In plain words, the War council has had an attack of what one staff member calls “functional inertia.” If the council is doing something *of value to the war effort, let the members speak up about it. If the job is .too heavy for them to handle, let them abandon the project to students who dan really tackle the problem. Let’s have none of this business where people get publicity before accomplishing anything. The Wat council has had an entire semester to show their “stuff.”	t

Difficult, Easy Methods Mark One-Ads
The difficult and easy methods of achievement in dramatic writing were contrasted for inspection by a surprisingly sizeable crowd of bus-riding playgoers Wednesday night in the eighth experimental bill of student-writ-ten, directed, and produced one-act plays. Lester Moore’s hesitant, sensitive picture of the end-pro-duct of human selfishness, “Tomorrow Is Forever,” was oddly matched with the uncontroUedly hilarious farce Bill Diamant aimed at University auditors, “Passing the Buck.”
The two plays were opposite in almost every possible way. Fresh-sun Moore is a beginning writer, whose other work has been largely sentimental lyric poetry with an occasional deft phrase. His ■■ill cast of characters showed the result of painstaking observation and his occasionally-ragged
dialogue, (whose bareness, however, seemed more of an advantage to the play than otherwise) •bowed a sincere attempt at mature understanding.
Diamant, on the other hand, gives a picture of the University of Miami which was calculated to please perceptive audiences but, of the nature of its design, «bowed perspective into individual characters and a more mature knowledge of the effectiveness of •ds. While the over-all design of Diamant’» play, which passed a stogie piece of money from d to reveal the humorous types of University fanna, was beautifully unified, individual together
with less continuity than the average pressure-written radio program.
As Willamina, the cold-hearted woman in Moore's play who refuses money to tier ailing sister only to wish for that sister's return as the curtain falls, Hazel Longenecker was careful and precise. In the ; space of her brief lines, largely through the use of superlativi: pantomime, she was able to convey the subtleties of loneliness, a difficult emotion when portrayed by an unsympathetic character.
“The Author” was impressed into service as tluj sensitive musi cian son who cannot stand to see his mother suffer at her sister’s hand, a characterization perilously near to his own nature. His voiee continues vo surprise audiences with its krw musical pitch

Students Hear Firsthand Reports On Russian Front
“Russia is fighting for art and knowledge, freedom and democracy,” declared Nila Magidoff, Russian wife of an American foreign correspondent, in her speech to a privileged University audience yesterday in the theatre.
On a lecture tour for Russian War relief, Mrs. Magidoff recounted experiences of life in her native country.
“Russians are fighting with such 1
determination today because there is no national racial problem,” she asserted.
Expulsion of illiteracy (98% of Russians can read and write now), wiping out disease and poverty have solidified the 120 nationalities of her country, she reported.
Shortly after she finished her schooling, Mrs. Magidoff was selected as one of a thousand young men and women who were sent “with a horqe and a gun” to educate the backward peoples in Russia. For a year and a half in a republic of centra) Asia, Mrs. Magidoff hilped build schools and hospitals, and to do it she had to fight bandits.
Mrs. Magidoff described the sacrifice of the young people of her country who have waged guerilla warfare on the enemy. With bitterness in her voice and tears in her eyes, she related tales of bloodshed and battle.
“The Russian soldier fights better if he knows his-family is being taken care of by America,” she added.
Culture has played its part in the war for the Russians, she stated. It is one of the ideals they are fighting for; they are fighting to protect their Lenin library that contains over 10 million books, their' Shakespearean museum, their theatres (not only the ones in the cities, but the ones on the collective farms also); their music; their factories with the frescoed walls that cost millions of rubles.
In answer to a number of questions, Mrs. Magidoff reported that there is freedom of religion, there is money, and there is private property to Russia. She explained that Rossis signed her non-aggression pact with Germany in 1989 because she was not ready to fight the Axis.
Mrs. Magidoff wore a smart suit which was made to She explained that Russian buttons were inferior to ours but that “we win win the war and afterwards America can »how us how to make button«."
In describing her American tour, the Russian newspaper woman «aid that it bad eaten only chicken and green to the part yen.
