Bruman, instructor in geography, will speak on "The People of Mexico" in Schwab -Auditorium at 7:30 Tuesday night. The lecture is part of the campus program to widen inter est in Latin-American activities. Dr. Bruman will accompany his lecture with recordings of the music of the Huichol and Zapotec Indians. He will also show slides of Mexican scenes and exhibit In dian textiles. In his talk, he will emphasize the Mexican Indian peoples— particularly the Huichols, Zapo tecs, and the Chamulas of cen tral• Chiapas. Material for the lecture was collected on field trips several years ago when Dr. Bruman was a field fellow of the Social Science Research Council. On one of these trips he spent three weeks with the Huichol In dians, one of the most primitive tribes on the continent and one which very few people have ever visited. During Dr. Bruman's mule-back trip through the Hui chol country, he acquired a col lection of ethnographic objects which are iiow in the Field Mu seum in Chicago. The record of Huichol music Which Dr. Bruman will play was made under his personal 'direction with equipment lent by the Mex ican government. There are just three copies in existence. Two are owned by Dr. Bruman• and the other by the Mexican government. 'Dr. Bruman was graduated from the University of California at 'Los Angeles in 1935 and ob tained his doctor's degree at the :University of California in 1940. He came here last fall. liirectoriet Available .1 l'.:Many students who purchased copy. of the Summer Session Student Directory have not yet called for their copy at Student 'Union, Old Main.

The program has not been selected as yet but it will be of a modernis tic. type, of popular appeal.

The band this summer is com posed of 148 members, who are all more advanced at this stage of their training than last sum mer's training. They comprise the cream of the crop among the eastern high schools, nearly all of them having soloist rating in their school orchestras. Dr. Howard has brought his faculty and staff along with him, none having been with him less long as 10 years. He expects last summer's success to be repeated by the current group of young musicians. In speaking about his proteges, the noted conductor called them the most talented he ha's ever conducted. The members, he said, were selected on the basis of their ability, which far above the aver age. Several have been winners in the National High School Mu sic Contests and most have won honors in the Forensic Music League or in state or district con tests.
