THE MICHIGAN DAILY IHALLANGE' SEMINAR: Felheim Interprets Giraudoux By JUDITH BLEIER In the drama of Jean Girau- oux one finds that the literature s not an end in itself, Prof. Mar- in Felheim of the English de- artment said Tuesday. At a Challenge seminar focus- ng upon Giraudoux's "Tiger at he Gates," he noted that the haracters "are not trying to con- ince or persuale. They are mere- y there to present or unfold, and he thinking is left to the audi- nce." This type of "intellectual drama alien to American theatre," rof. Felheim said. "While the rench are interested in ideas, we ant action." Pre-War Troy Originally titled "La Guerre de 'roie N'Aura Pas Lieu" (The Tro- m War will not take Place), the eene of the play is Troy before he Greek invasion, or Paris in 935 before the German invasion., Although the characters may cry peace" from the beginning, the (forts of reasonable men like ector and shrewd men like lysses cannot avert the war, and he prophecies of Cassandra are ealized. Prof. Felhehm noted that to say hat this is merely a pessimistic ork is "untrue. and irrelevant. It a provocative play which leaves ne with the feeling that in wiser mes peace may have come." Two Alternatives Giraudoux sees all things in rms of two alternatives, he ex- lained. "The play is a series of iscussions, confrontations of leas, in which two positions are sually taken. These highly styliz- ed literary debates present the is- sues." "Yet one character is not nec- essarily right and the other total- ly wrong," he added. The characters symbolize larg- er and much more representative ideas, Prof. Felheim said. "And as symbols they cannot come to any solution." 'Intellectual Experience' Giraudoux's drama is an "in- tellectual experience" distinct from its symbolism and literary style, he said. Prof. Felheim objected to the fact that in Giraudoux's dramas, fate is acceptedas inevitable. "He never asks the next question-why must it be this way?" "Maybe this is because one doesn't want to ask that ques- tion, or maybe, it is because Christianity has given us an an- A o O Michigan State University President John A. Hannah yes- terday apologized to the Wash- tenaw County Board-of Super- visors for a large MSU painted on the Washtenaw County Bldg. The building was defaced on the eve of Michigan State foot- ball game by unknown persons. Terming the prank "Juvenile delinquency unbecoming to stun~ dents at a university," Hannah expressed his regrets in a letter, to E. A. Wolter, chairman of the board. swer which Giraudoux feels has no meaning," he said. "Therefore, in Giraudoux we do not have a superimposed, spiri- tual answer," he said. In the play's very irony, Prof. Felheim noted, there is the sug- gestion that there is something "more tentative" in it than the conclusion that war is inevitable. Talk Covers Homicides By ARTHUR LEVY "In about one half of all traf- fic deaths, someone involved has been drinking alcoholic bever- ages," Dr. Robert C. Hendrix of the medical school said Tuesday. At the November meeting of the Science Research Club in Rack- hamAmphitheatre, Dr."Hendrix pointed out that alcoholic bever- ages often cause a driver to lose control of the car, instead of the car going out of control by it- self, as is commonly reported. A person is legally drunk, he said, when alcohol comprises .15 per cent of his blood composition, but can actually become intoxi- cated with one bottle of beer. Discussing deaths which call for investigation by a coroner or med- ical examiner, Dr. Hendrix stated that the cause of death is easy to determine but this does not ex- plain the manner. Whether the death is suicide, accident, or mur- der, has important financial and religious connotations to those af- fected, he said., Death by firearms, Prof. Hend- rix claimed, lends itself to analy- sis more readily than drowning and other deaths., The beveled edge of a bullet hole gives the di- rection of the shot, with respect to normal body positions. Gun powder on the wounded surface can indicate how far away the weapon was when fired. The exact make of gun cannot usual- ly be determined from the wound itself as the skin around it im- mediately contracts. One can, however, tell the exact weapon used, from the markings on the bullet, he remarked, if the bullet is recovered. Various methods are available, he reported, for determining the post mortem interval, though none in itself was considered very ac- curate. Body temperature, he said, falls at an average rate of one-and-one-half degrees Fahr- enheit per hour after death, due to the cessation of metabolism. This rate is not constant, how- ever, and depends upon the body temperature at the time of death. "If the body is hot," he said, "it wil remain hot; if the body is cool at first, the rate of change will decrease." One study was shown to have depicted the fall in tem- perature of a body as a mathe- matically constant function of the cooling time. The pathologist, however, discounted this view, say- ing, "You can't control the orig- inal body temperature."

U.S. Students Hold Vigils Against Nuclear Testing County May Reappraise Real Estate Washtenaw County may under- take a program to reappraise real estate for tax assessing purposes. The reassessment proposal, sim- ilar to the scheduled Ann Arbor reappraisal, was brought to the attention of the Board of Super- visors by Howard Ledbetter, Ann Arbor city assessor. The Board then instructed its ways and means equalization committees to study the proposal and report to the December meeting. Ledbetter said that Ann Arbor is about to solicit bids for its appraisal project, but would be willing to wait, if the county ex- presses an interest. Otherwise, he said, the contract would be award- ed early next year. He citedthe lower cost per unit as a possible advantage to hav- ing a county-wide reassessment. Curt H. Will, former Ann Arbor assessor, termed the plan "the closest thing to utopia you could get in Washtenaw County." Ledbetter said that a county- wide appraisal might not begin for a year, but that the city would be willing to delay its plans if the board expresses interest.

The supposed group of 25 students who were to march from the Michigan State University campus to the State Capitol in Lansing failed to organize. The leader, George Demetrak- opoulos, an MSU Junior, had pre- pared signs and had hoped to talk to state officials. He lament- ed that people were aware of the dangers but are apathetic. ** * BERKELEY-In protest of nu- clear testing a 24-hour peace vigil was staged at the University of California Berkeley campus Oct. 31-Nov. 1. Initiated by SLATE the vigil attracted crowds of stu- dents often numbering 300 and it is estimated that about 3,000 par- ticipated. The students gathered in silence and with a minimum of placards. The participants have expressed "hope to make other people think about the problem of nuclear wea- pons." One student said, " I don't know whether this accomplishes anything, but at leasat this is a chance to make t our feelings known." SLATE has issued a statement which states, "In light of the Sov- iet Union's explosion of a 50- megaton nuclear bomb yesterday, a criminal act violating all stan- dards of morality and harmfully affecting all humanity, SLATE condemns the leaders of the Sov- iet Union and urges all nations to cease nuclear testing immediately. Copies of this statement were sent to President John F. Ken- nedy, Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Prime Minister Harold MacMillan, Russel Award Winner Dies After Ilness Prof.-Emeritus Aaron F.
