Perlis rehearse for the Fall concert. At the present time the Department of Music at Eastern Michigan University is planning a grad- uate program which will be ready in the fall semes- ter of 1965. It will offer a Master of Arts with a major in music. Although the primary function of the Music Department is to prepare students for a Bachelor of Music Education, it also offers many service courses and electives for the non-music ma- jors on the Early and Later Elementary Curricu- lums. Every summer the department offers a three- week summer session for high school students. In addition this summer there will be a choral work- shop under the direction of Paul Christiansen. Each year the Music Department sponsors a number of guest artists such as Catherine Crozier, the Interlochen Youth Symphony, and V. Ussachev- sky. It also furnishes music for rebroadcasts on WAAM radio station.

The Physics department, headed by Professor James M. Barnes, is now operating with a full time staff of nine members. The newest arrivals to the department this year are an instrument called a Gas Laser and a Ra- dio Telescope. The 'fGas Laser consists of a helium, neon mixture, which supplies a special light source used in the study of advanced optics. It will be used for classroom demonstrations and laboratory experiments. A great deal of research is being con- ducted this year with the Radio Telescope located on the roof of Strong. The department is now offering a new lab course for students interested in working one semester on a physics problem. The Radio Telescope is an ex- ample of such a study. They are also proud to an- nounce an honors course for special problems in the field of physics and astronomy. -an., .4-N ww., .Ti Paul Hamilton, Dr. Parsons and William Swift check lead to the radio- telescope antenna which had been blown around.
