Bruman To Talk On Mexkan People

Will Also Play
Records, Show Slides
Dr. Henry J. 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.

Symphonic Band
To Play Thursday
The symphanic band of the
Band and Orchestra School, un
der the direction of Dr. George
Sallade Howard, will present its
first concert of the summer ses
sion season in Schwab Auditorium
at 8 o'clock Thursday night. The
program has not been selected as
yet but it will be of a modernis
tic. type, of popular appeal.
Of special interest to concert
lovers is the announcement that
Pierre Henrotte, concertmeister
and conductor of the Metropolitan
Opera House Orchestra for 15
years, will be guest conductor of
the evening.
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.
