II Men ' s CCu6 Jacqueline Mahannah The oldest student organization on campus was also one of the most successful. Com- bining camaraderie and musical excellence, the Men ' s Glee Club entertained audiences while enjoying themselves. This diverse group of 1 00 prepared a variety of musical programs includ- ing classical, contemporary and spiritual genres. Along with its two major concerts of the year, the group performed singing telegrams for Valentine ' s Day and Sweetest Day, and per- formed at the Honors Convocation, Winter Commencement and many tailgate parties. Members toured South America, California and the southeastern United States performing for sold-out crowds. This close-bonded group of individuals had fun and so did their audiences. Jaime Feder Michigan Pops Orchestra If you were looking for great music, and an exciting concert you had to look no further than the Michigan Pops Orchestra. The Michi- gan Pops Orchestra was a student run orchestra whose repertoire included a myriad of popular musical selections from Star Wars, ET, and Hook, as well as the 100th Anniversary Olympic Fanfare-Summon the Heroes and Schindler ' s List. The orchestra performed classical operas such as Carmen and Barber of Seville. Emily Harkins, executive director of the orchestra and a junior in the residential college said, It was a way to gain a new experience. You were there because you wanted to be there and play music you wanted to play. Melissa Kane HarnwneUes Singing their way into the heart of the University, the Harmonettes didn ' t need music to make an impression on their audi- ences. The a capella group of 1 1 women per- formed at numerous shows on campus and abroad. In the fall, they joined forces with The Gentlemen and the Women ' s Glee Club at Rackham. In February, members teamed with the Friars and Amazin ' Blue for the Monsters of A Capella Concert at Hill Auditorium. They also held a spring concert in the Union to round out their campus tour. The University of Pitts- burgh invited the Harmonettes to their a capella fest which featured the finest groups across the country. By arranging their own music, mem- bers displayed their talent through fine creative performances. The Friars The Friars, a prestigious part of the Men ' s Glee Club, was seen and heard performing in Ann Arbor throughout the year. The all-male octet, known for its spontaneity and humorous stage antics, entertained stu- dents along with faculty and campus organiza- tions throughout the year. Along with their annual Study Break concert held in December, the Friars performed for the opening of the Michigan League Underground in January, the Monsters of A Capella concert in February, and for The Best Concert Ever, held near the end of the spring term. Senior nursing student and Friar Joe Salazar, wrapped up the group ' s phi- losophy saying, Forty-one years of fun at the expense of music. Krysia Eustice Kristin Long irmonettes-Nicole Rabaut.

Members listen to the directors of the Half-Shekel Campaign. Meet- ings utHillel.u Jewish student com- munity center, helped organize the cro -campus campaign. Campaign Chair Ari Nisman speaks to members of the Half- Shekel Campaign about fund-rais- ing. The group looked to raise $1 from each member of the Jewish community. UJA Haff-Shekd Campaign photo courtesy of the Half-Shekel Campaign I n an effort to unite the 6,000 Jewish mem bers, including 4,000 undergraduates, of the University, the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) kalf Shekel campaign took full force in Febru- kry using every medium from Diag boards to hishbowl tables to gather a following. The kroup ' s ult imate objectives were immense, et according to the campaign chair and senior ' Business Communications major Ari Nisman, pery attainable. The organization aimed to preate a feeling of identity among Jewish stu- jients by bringing to light the importance of the hommunity. Members aimed to instill the idea pf tzedakah (righteousness charity) to unify | tudents of the Jewish faith. By asking for a -1 donation from participants, students were kiven a button, half maize and half blue, as |vell as an invitation to a potluck Shabbat (tinner, a Purim party in March and a campus- ivide seder for Passover. The money was donated toward the local Ann Arbor Jewish federation. The initiative originated with Michael lirooks, United Jewish Appeal member and ilillel executive director. He wanted to 1 chieve total participation by students of the sewish community based on God ' s request of Moses to take a census, and to collect a half- ihekel from Israelites (Exodus 30:1 1-13). The ct created a sense of community among the eople, and Brooks wanted to bring that feel- ig to students. Nisman took a student leader- hip role, and aimed to express a Jewish Jentity. He asserted that if the campaign ould succeed at Michigan, it could succeed nywhere. Kristin Long photo courtesy of the Half-Shekel Campaien pbolo rounesv of Ih.
