Entrants
Prizes and prestige await the
winners in the Southeastern
Michigan Science Fair which
opens today at Yost Fieldhouse.
Junior and senior high school
students from Hillsdale, Jackson,
Monroe, Lenawee and Washte-
naw counties will display theirI
scientific projects, competing for
trips to the National Science Fair
in Indianapolis May 11-14. {
Entry cards from 167 students
have been received, the University
Bureau of School Services, coordi-
nating agency for the fair, has
announced. Last year 156 exhibits
were prepared.
The fair will be open to visitors
during tomorrow afternoon and
evening and Sunday afternoon.
Judging of displays started last
night and will continue through
this morning.
Give Prizes
Prizes valued at more than $800
will be awarded to top finishers in
the various divisions.
The leading boy and girl scien-
tists in the senior high division
will receive the trips to the In-
dianapolis conference, plus $25
each and a medal.
The next seven contestants will
receive cash awards with the top
three place winners in the senior
division's six scientific categories
receiving medals.
Special prizes include a "Navy
Science Cruiser Award" to go to
a 10th or 11th grade male student.
It is a five-day, expenses-paid
tour of naval scientific facilities
next fall.
Chicago Trip
In addition, a trip will be given
to the National Youth Conference
on the atom in Chicago for an
11th grade student in the engi-
neering, physics or mathematics
divisions.
Junior division winners will re-
ceive cash awards and medals.
,The fair, sponsored by the Ex-
change Club, "The Ann 'Arbor
News" and the University, ex-
pects to host more than the 7,500
spectators who viewed the show
last year. This is due to the inclu-
sion of two other counties in the
contest.
Avery Downer, president of Ann
Arbor Exchange Club, reports
that the club has collected more
than $1,000 from local industry
and businesses to finance the fair.
The club hopes to exceed last
year's total of $3,300, Downer
said, but the drive got off to a
late start this year.

"Ionesco makes furniture speak
eloquently and in 'The New.Ten-
ent' pieces of furniture form a
perfect and terrifying symbol of
the encroachment of material
possessions on the human condi-
tion."
This observation was made by
B. P. Moonyean, director of the
double bill which will be presented
by the Dramatics Art Center at
Senior Society
Taps Women

8:30 p.m. today and tomorrow and,
8 p.m. Sunday in Lane Hall.
The bill Is composed of two, one-
act plays: Eugene Ionesco's "The
New Tenant" and Anton Chek-
hov's "The Proposal."
"honesco's plays deal with the
unreality of our 'real' world.
"He usually starts by showing
us familiar characters in a famil-
iar world and then lets the un-
familiar erupt through the picture
until it disintegrates and we are
faced with an illogical world,
which has an alarming and un-
familiar logic all its own," Moon-
yean said.
"He does this in a supremely
theatrical fashion which may
challenge rather than entertain,
irritate rather than satisfy. Ion-
esco has been called the poet of
double-talk. He can probably be
thought of as anything from a
dealer in gimmicks to a theatrical
genius."
"The Chekhov play, 'The Pro-
posal' is a one act comedy. It is
about Lomov, a hypochondriac,
trying to work up enough courage
to propose to Natalia, the daugh-
ter of a neighbor," Moonyean said.
The father, it turns out, wants
his daughter to get married, and
the daughter wants to get mar-
ried. But each time Lomov is
about to propose, he and Natalya
start to argue such things as
whose meadow or whose dog is
best.
The Dramatic Art Center is
composed- of a combination of
University students and non-stu-
dents.
