Speech Stud
Per formancc
"Helena's Husband," an histori-
cal one-act farce by Phillip Moel-
ler, will be the first in a series of
experimental plays presented by
the speech department, according
to Thomas Skinner of the depart-
ment.
The play, to be presented at
only one performance, will be giv,
en at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the
Trueblood Auditorium of the
Frieze Building. Admission will be
free.
Directed by Albert Katz, Grad.,
"Helena's Husband" presents a
humorous account of the abduc-
tion of Helen by Paris which
started the Trojan War. Accord-
ing to Moeller's farce, the whole
action was instituted by Menelaus
to get rid of his chattering, wit-
less wife.
The production will be the first
in a series of free, experimental
plays to be presented by the

tnts To Give
? of 'Helena'
speech department during the
year. Other plays in the series will
be presented either in the True-
blood Auditorium or the recently
converted Arena Theatre in the
basement of the Frieze Building.,
The cast for "Helena's Hus-
band" will include Dianne Stol-
orov, '60, as Helena; Gordon Ia-
pides, '59, as Paris; Joseph Brown,
'58, as Menelaus; James War-
neke, '59, as Analytikos and
Spring Condoyan, '60, as Tsumu.
Doctor Says
British Like,
Medical Ptah
About 80 per cent of British,
doctors are in favor of so-called
socialized medicine and feel that
it 'permits them to do a better.
health job, according to British
health officer Dr. John Scott.
Speaking before a general as-,
sembly of the public health school
on Thursday, Dr. Scott, who is
chief medical officer of health for
the county of London, England
and honorary physician to the
Queen, noted that the British sys-
tem "allows the citizen who needs
medical health services to get
them when he needs them with-
out having to worry about the
bill."
Dr. Scott also pointed out that
the health service in British
schools is- far superior sto that in
America.
"British school children be-
tween five and 15 years of age re-
ceive a minimum of four inspec-
tions. by doctors - the United
States gives, at most, three, in-
spections during that period, he
said.

Doctor Talks
On Cancer
Variation s
What is commonly called cancer
is actually a complex family of
diseases made up of b.etween 200
to 300 different types, Dr. Howard
B. Latourette, chaii*man of the
University's Cancer Research In-
stitute, told a district training
school of the American Cancer
Society in Ypsilanti, Thursday.
The cancer specialist said that
cancer has more than 200 forms
and is as difficult to understand
and control as life itself.
"These diseases differ widely in
their characteristics and prog-
nosis," Latourette said, "but all
have the same fundamental basis,
the uncontrolled growth of ab-
normal cells."
He explained that an increasing
number of facts are being un-
covered about the causes of can-
cer and its effects on patients.
Also, scientists are constantly im-
proving the methods of detecting
and treating this disease.
"Using the best methods of
treatment now available, many
patients can be cured. However,"
Latourette continued, "the final
understanding and control of the
whole family of diseases we call
cancer will probably come when
we understand and control growth
and 'life itself."

Abdul Gamal Nasser is facing a
serious problem in his attempts to
spread his power in the Near East;
according to Prof. George E. Kirk
of Harvard University.
In the first of a series of lec-
tures to be sponsored jointly by
the history department and the.
Center for Near Eastern Studies,
Prof. Kirk discussed "Abdul Nasser
and the Arab Nationalist Move-
ment."
Although the Arab nationalist
movement began to affect the West
only 50 years ago, it is as old as
Islam, Prof. Kirk said. Present.
Arab nationalism is mainly a
resurrection of the Arab conquests:
1300 years ago, he said.
Feeling of. Inferiority
As long as the Ottoman Empire
remained a major power, the Arabs
were not subject to a feeling of
inferiority imposed upon them by
the Western nations when they
began domination of North Africa
at the beginning of the century,
he said.
"But by 1900 the situation was
changing," Prof. Kirk continued.
"Egypt had already passed into
British hands and the Arabic
youth educated in Western univer-
sities had been inspired by na-
tionalism."
In hopes of gaining their inde-

HISTORY DEPARTMENT SPONSORS:
Prof. Kirk Discusses Nasser Problem

pendence, the Arab nations joined
the British against the Turks in
World War I, he said. But then
Great Britain and France tried to
assimilate. these nations as. colo-
nies, thus frustrating the hopes of
the Arab nationalists. Here began
the Arab's struggle with the West
for independence, he continued.
When, at the conclusion of World
War II almost all the Arab nations
had gained independence; they
formed a loose confederation
known as The League of Arab
States.
"These states did not begin to
move toward true unity until the
Zionist, movement to reestablish a
;Jewish., state in Palestine, spurred
the Arabs to unite against a com-
onenemy. Their militaryactions
at this time-failed miserably, Prof.
Kirk, said'. Ten years ago, ".they
were a people who had lost their
way., ,
Nasser's rise to power come with
the Egyptian military coup in 1952,
Prof. Kirk said. "There was en-
thusiasm everywhere fron'i Arab
nationalists..
Achieves Success
For the first two years, Nasser
was preoccupied with the affairs
directly concerning the Nile Valley,
but by the summer of 1954 he
achieved his first success in inter-,
national politics by closing an
agreement with the British allow-
ing for the removal, of British
forces out of the Suez Canal Zone.
Both Arab nationalists and com-
munists attacked this seemingly
friendly agreement as neither
wanted Egypt to cooperate with-
the West, Prof. Kirk said.
During this time, events were
working against the prestige of
the Egyptian regime. Iraq entered
into a pact with Turkey over the
violent objections of the Egyptian
government, he noted, even though
Egypt had been the acknowledged
leaders of the Arab League. Fric-
tion on the Egyptian-Israeli border.
near the Gaza Strip added another
blow to Egyptian military power,
Prof. Kirk continued.
DIAL NO 2-3136
LATE SHOW
TONIGHT: 11 P.M.

It was at this time, Prof. Kirk
pointed out, that Egypt sought
arms from the Western nations to
use against' Israel. The West, of
course, refused.
But in 1955, Nasser did get arms
from the Soviet Union. This was
the turning point of his. career,
Prof. Kirk said. Egypt had finally
received support from a major
world power, and this made him
the hero of the young' Arab na-
tionalists.
"It is important to note, Prof.
Kirk said, "that this purchase of
arms had nothing to do with Com-
munism." At this tIme, Nasser was
flirting with 'the Soviet ,bloc and
jailing Communists in Egypt.
Nationalize Canal
According to Prof. Kirk, Nasser
dispelled any doubt of his leader-
ship of the' Arab nations when he
nationalized the Suez Canal .'in
1956. His motivations were pri-
marily centered on Egyptian gain,
Prof. Kirk said. "But his actions
were -hailed as a' gesture of Arab
independence by nationalists
throughout the Arab states, and
this victory overshadowed the dis-
astrous military defeat the Egyp-
tian army encountered during this
campaign."
A great step was taken toward
Arab unity with the formation of
the UAR, and the revolution in
Iraq has added new strength to
Nasser's position as the head of
Arab nationalism, Prof. Kirk said.
"But now he is faced with a deli-
cate' problem.
"With the formation of the UAR
we may look for a more complete
Arab unity than before. But if
Nasser pursues his aims of carrying
his power throughout North 4frica,
he faces tremendous political risks
with his questionable military and
economic equipment. If he should
adopt a more gradualist policy
which may offend his strongly na-
tionfist backers, he faces a great
weakening of his position.
"The time may cone when Nas-
ser will be following the wave of
Arab nationalism and not leading
it," Prof. Kirk concluded.
