Selecting of famous recordings will be played during today's Listening Hour ln response to many requests for recordings of the leading singers of the day, said Pan-I tella Engle, director of the Listening Hour program.
| The recorded song recital will be chosen irom the outstanding numbers contained ln the music library, illustrative of folk and art song development, as well as operatic. WAfjNERS WORKS INCLUDED Among other vocal presentations, Wagner’s "Song to the Evening Star" from Tannhauser and "Love Death” from Tristan and Isolde, will be played. According to Miss Engle, these two songs show the trend ln operatic development toward richer orchestral coloring and the unity of poetry and music to the action of the characters presenting the story of the opera. The first is characterized by poignant beauty of expression; the second by intense mysticism and rhapsodic beauty.
Lawrence Tibbett will be heard singing "Oh Caesar, Great Wert Thou" from the King’s Henchmen, by the modem American composer, Deems Taylor. "Its melodies and rhythms are outstanding, humorously presented in a modem vein," said Miss Engle.

Raubenheimer Tells Faculty About Boers in Africa
"The Boer Trek ln South Africa” will be the subject of an address by Dr Albert S. Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, at a Faculty club luncheon today at 12:20 p.m. ln Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall.
Dr. Raubenheimer will explain how the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Great Trek brought about such a complete change in the desires and outlook of the people oT South Africa that lt orientated an entirely new system of political thought and cultural ideals.
PATRIOTISM AROUSED
Tfie 1938 festivities, explained Dr. Raubenheimer, were of particular cultural and political significance because the very nature of the occasion aroused a spirit 'I nationalism and patriotism throughout the country and instilled an awareness of the cultural Intercourse and achievements to follow.
The celebration was unusual, informs the lecturer, ln that the participants formed ox-tralns and j traveled the several trails rutted out j by the Boer population of Cape Col-j ony when they crossed the Vaal, j Orange, and Drakenburg rivers to J form the Republic of South Africa J and the Orange Free State. INHABITANTS GIVE UP WORK i Inhabitants of every town in the I Union of South Africa abandoned their occupatfons for the day and J turned out to take their part ln the songs, lectures, dances, and reli-| glous services that constituted the j celebration, declared Dr. Rauben-J helmer. and by the time the wagons j reached the capital. Pretoria, to conclude the anniversary rites by laying the foundation-stone for a national memorial, he continued, J the entire country-side realized that a new era in the thought of the South African people was being Inaugurated.
Dr. Raubenheimer will augment his description of the celebration by discussing the ever-pertlnent question of the white man’s future In Africa and will explain how the burning discussion of the subject flrst arose.
