Three University engineers have
'ffered a way to determine if a
pace ship will sink in moon dust.
Concerned with the, question of
rhether. the moon's surface dust
would support or swallow a space
hip and crew, the engineers sug-
ested a way of finding out.
Prof. Keeve M. Siegel, head of
he University's' Radiation Labor-
,tory, Thomas B. Senior and Wil-
iam E. Fensler, research engi-
eers of the University Research
nstitute published their method
n the November issue of the tech-
ical magazine Aero-Space Engi-
eering.
They suggested that a radar-
quipped satellite be placed in or-
it' around the moon and that
ata from the radar signals
ounced off the moon's surface be
elenietered back to earth.
By determining from this data'
ow "reflexive" the moon's sur-
ace is to radar signals, an accu-
ate estimate of its density and
onsistency may be made. A satel-
te is needed because the earth's
)nosphere blocks the needed part
f an earth-originated radar sig-
al, they asserted.
Profs. Siegel, Fensler and Senior
say that space equipment now un-
der development could be used for
the experiment they suggest.
This suggestion outlines a pos-
sible addition to information re-
garding the moon's surface use-
ful in research on space explora-
tion.

"This could be the biggest, most
important theatre in the nation,"
Oliver Rea, New York theatrical
producer, commented.
Rea was in town Saturday to
observe and discuss the possibil-
ity of establishing a professional
theatre in Ann Arbor.
Before a theatre would be es-
tablished here or in any of the
other five cities under considera-
tion, the community must show
avid interest and be willing to
contribute to the support of this
theatre.
Part of Community
The theatre would be identified
with the community and would be
an integral part of the commu-
nity, Rea said.
"This would not be a New York
group coming to Ann Arbor to put
on a few shows. It is an attempt
to decentralize the American the-
atre, to establish a high grade
professional theatre outside New
York; therefore, it must be iden-
tified with the community," Rea
emphasized. ,
The theatre would have a com-
pany of some of the best profes-
sional actors from the United
States, Canada and England.
Guthrie Directs
The group would be under the
direction of Tyrone Guthrie, one

of the top directors of the Englisi
speaking world. Guthrie helped tc
build the Stratford Shakespeare
festivals to the height of renown
they hold today.
The repertoire of the theatre
would be built around the com-
pany of actors. Although the com-
pany would vary from season to
season, most of the actors would
remain for a period of at least
three years, then go on to Broad-
way and possibly return for an-
other season.
Included in the productions
would be one new play of an Eng-
lish or American writer. If the
play is well received it would go
on to Broadway, Rea asserted.
Professional Nucleus
Although the core of the theatre
would be composed of profession-
als, there could be positions such
as set and costume designers,
lighting technicians and bit part
actors open to students and in-
terested citizens of the commu-
nity.
"There is a distinct need for a
theatre that would be a training
ground for American actors and
American theatre people," Rea
said.
Rea is touring the various com-
munities under consideration San
Francisco, Minneapolis, Cleveland,
Milwaukee and Boston) to deter-
mine the interest and desire for
a theatre in these various areas.
He included Ann Arbor because
of the initiative taken by the
Dramatic Arts Center, who in-
quired about the further develop-
ment of the community theatre
through the American National
Theatre Association.
Discusses Project
While in Ann Arbor, Rea dis-
cussed the project with University
President Harlan Hatcher and in-
terested citizens. Rea said he
thought the community and the
University definitely showed a
strong interest in the theatre
"The people of Ann Arbor, in-
cluding the students of the Uni-
versity, must not just settle back
and say they are interested, but
they must be willing to work to-
ward the establishment of the
theatre," Prof. Wilfred Kaplan of
the mathematics department,
president of the Center, empha-
sized.
Rea cited the advantages of the
Ann Arbor area as 1) its being the
cultural center of southeastern
Michigan, 2) its being very inter-
ested and active in cultural events
and ideas, and 3) its location in a
strategicplace which could draw
a theatre audience from over three
million people.
"I have not found any disad-
vantages yet," Rea added, "how-
ever, Guthrie and I wil return to
Ann Arbor in approximately three
weeks to make the final decision."

of the drinking regulation and
Junior Year Abroad are other
planks in her program.
Advocates Spring Registration
Lynn Bartlett, '63, advocates
spring registration which would
allow students to register early for
fall semester. He further supports
increased parking facilities and
the expansion of the bike auction
and the Student Book Exchange.
M. A. H. Shah, Grad., wishes to
integrate the foreign student into
the culture of the campus and to
increase the American students'
understanding of foreign students
and international affairs.
He also wishes SGC to further
promote foreign students' pro-
grams in order to encourage Amer-
ican student participation in them.
Wants Language Houses
The placing of students on the
Curriculum Committee is advo-
cated by Babs Miller, '64. She
would like to see the institution
of more language houses for lan-
guage majors and a cultural
awareness program implemented
through presidents of the various
groups on campus.
The suggestion box and SOC
newsletter are included in her
campaign 'stat ment.
Elliott Tepper, '62, would like to
continue tle worlt done by the
Council in off-campus housing. He
is also an advocate of expansion
of student parking lots.
Urges Ruling Review
Tepper has urged that the 1949
ruling on discrimination be re-
viewed and that rushing times and
methods be discussed by the Coun-
cil for possible action.
Changes in calendaring proced-
ures to elirpinate the conflicts and
inefficiency in present procedures
are, the concern of Bill Warnock,
,'61BAd. Student-faculty relations
could be improved through coffee
hours in the various departments,
and by other similar means,nle
suggests.
Charles Kline, '61, has asked
that student driving regulations
and permit fees be re-evaluated.
He advises action on the trial
period of women's rush but says
that deferred rush for men should
be considered because the frater-
nity system is too large and com-
plex.
A more liberal granting of apart-
ment permissions to women is in
his platform and the continuation
of such SOC services as the library
exam file.

NUDE WITH VIOLIN
By STEPHANIE ROUMELL
The Women's Senate represents
ever: women's housing unit on
campus, including League houses
and cooperatives, since housing
unit representativesto Assembly
and Panhel are automatically
senators as well.
"An organization of this kind is
unique to the women on campus,"
Virginia Sinclair, '61, chairman of
Senate said. "The men have noth-
ing like it."
Coordinating Body
The Senate is primarily a coord-
inating body. Miss Sinclair's posi-
tion as League coordinating vice-
president places her automatical-
ly as its chairman, thus coordinat-
ing the League with Assembly,
the independent women's organ-
ization, and with Panhellenic, the
affiliated swomen's organization.
The Women's Athletic Associa-
tion also has its representative on
Senate.
"Many issues come up that are
pertinent to both independents
and affiliates," MisseSinclair not-
ed. "Discussing these issues in an
organization where both are rep-
resented makes for better ties,"
Miss Sinclair maintained.
Opinion Catcher
"So Senate serves in some as-
pects as an opinion catcher; cam-

And Senate has a research com-
mittee of four who try to get the
facts about questions brought up,'
she continued. They talk to a wide
range of coeds, as well as faculty
members and deans. Therefore,
Senate occasionally tables ques-
tions brought up for a future
meeting, thus giving this commit-
tee time to do research.

'62, publicity chairman of Michi-
gras announced recently.
"Everyone interested in Michi-
gras is invited to come,' he an-
nounced. "The various chairmen

communicate campus activities,"
Miss Sinclair asserted. "We wel-
come people who represent any
campus activity that includes co-
eds, of course. From here it filters'
down and becomes known to the
housing units each senator repre-
sents.
As representing all undergradu-
ate women, SOC would give
thought to the ideas and conclu-
sions of Women's Senate. So Sen-
ate plays an influential role, not
a legislative one, she added.
Senate is busy discussing sever-
a! campus-wide women's concerns
at present.
"Since both: dorms and sorori-
ties are getting bigger allthe time,
we are discussing how to use large
living quarters advantageously,"
Miss Sinclair said.
Issue Pending
Another pending issue is that of
affiliated transfers:living in dorms.
"Senate is trying to decide if it is
wise to put them in a separate
corridor."
"Since a major complaint among
students is lack of time, we are
also trying to weed out from an
overloaded calendar of events
some of those that seem to have
little following," she concluded. i

William M. Stiffler majored in mechani-
cal engineering at Penn State University
-but he also liked economics. "I wanted
to apply engineering and economics in
business," he says, "and have some ad-
ministrative responsibilities."
Bill got his B.S. degree in June, 1956,
and went to work with the Bell Telephone
Company of Pennsylvania at Harrisburg.
During his first two years, he gained on-
the-job experience in all departments of
the company. Since June, 1958, he's been
working on transmission engineering
projects.
technical aspects," he says. "The great-
est challenge lies in finding the best solu,
tion to each problem in terms of costs,
present and future needs, and new tech-
nological developments.
"Another thing I like is that I get full
job-responsibility. For example, I recently
completed plans for carrier systems be-
tween Scranton and four-other communi-
ties which will bring Direct Distance
Dialing to customers there. The .trans-
mission phase of the project involved
almost a half-million dollars-and it was
