Guest Lecturer Speaks Here Nov. 22, 23 Miss Meyer to Lecture Professor Helmut Motekat of the University of Munich will be a guest lecturer on campus November 22 and 23. Sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Committee and The German Department, he will present three lectures entitled "New Trends in Contemporary G e r m a n Literature", which will be held November 22, 10:30 A.M., in the music Auditorium; "Bertold Brecht: The Playwright, His Stage and His Epic Theatre," to be held in the Conference Room of Phelps Hall, November 22, 2:30 P.M.; and "Reality in the World of Fraz Kalfa's Stories," to be held in the Conference R o o m of Phelps Hall on November 23 at 9:30 A.M. These lectures are open to all students and the public. Since 1948 Professor Motekat has been taught at the Univer-
sity of Munich, where he participated in the fields of German Literature and Comparative History of Literature. A native of East Prussia, Prof. Motekat studied philology, history, and philosophy at the University of Konigsberg and Gottingen. His literary contributions deal mainly with the interpretation of m o d e r n German lyrical poetry. His works consist of a book on Arno Holz; a study on contemporary German s h o r t stories; and "Die G r u n d f r a g t e der Dictung des 20 Jahrhunderts," which will be published this year. He has also contributed extensively to an English-German Dictionary and a German-English D i c t i o n a r y which will be released this year. As a permanent member of the "Institute C o 11 e g i a 1 des
E t u d e s Francaises et Europeans" in Paris, he has been working on a presentation of the German contribution to Humanism as an European movement. He participated in the 2nd Congress of the International Comparative Literature Association held at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in September of 1958. He lectured before m a n y American and scientific societies during the s a m e . y e a r and also lectured at four universities in Scotland in 1959. In 1960 he served for four months as visiting professor to the German Department at the University of Texas. He is lecturing at twentyseven colleges and universities on his present tour, which is made possible by the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation.
At Lit Club on "Africa" On November 22, at 8:30 P.M., Miss Nella Meyer will present "African Journey, 1960," an illustrated lecture at the Literary Club. Miss Meyer, Professor of French, has toured several times with Study Abroad, an agency specializing in travel geared to an academic field of interest. She chose the African study in political science and sociology because of Africa's immergence on the world scene and a wish to see Dr. Albert Schweitzer and his hospital village at Lamberene. The trip provided Miss Meyer with numerous opportunities f o r visiting schools, hospitals and parliaments, and for interviewing
technical
and
political
leaders in each country. She witnessed the inauguration of Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah, talked personally with Dr. Schweitzer, and was in East Africa at the time
>/
of the Congo crisis. The lecture will be confined to the "new" Africa as seen in LiW i a r "GHana," N igeria,

Cameroons, lamberene, Gabon, Uanda, Kenya, knd Ethiopia. "African Journey, 1960" will be given only once in Holland. The H o l l a n d
Branch of the
American Association of University Women is sponsoring the program.

Societa Corelli to Play Here This Monday On Monday, November 21, the Holland Civic Music Association will present the world-renowned c h a m b e r orchestra, Societa Corelli, as the second concert of its 1960-1961 series. The performance will take place a t the Civic Center at eight o'clock. The Societa Corelli is composed of thirteen string players, including piano, each musician of which is a recognized virtuoso of his own instrument. Now in its fifth American tour, the Societa has been acclaimed by critics and audiences as one of the world's leading exponents of the repertoire for chamber orchestra. The concert will include music by the seventeenth and early eighteenth century Italian composers Corelli ( a f t e r whom the Societa is named), Vivaldi, and Tartini, whose A Major Cello Concerto will f e a t u r e Silvano Zuccarini as soloist.
