XLIV No. 165 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1934 PRICE FIVE CE Elect Minor Officers For U 10 Union Today Six Vice-Presidents To Be Chosen By Students Of 10 Schools,_Colleges Balloting Will Be At Different Times Miss Risdon Revealed As An Actress Of Diversified Talents By ELEANOR BLUM A good actress should be able to play anything and everything, trag- edy, comedy, and character parts alike, in the opinion of Miss Elizabeth Risdon, Dramatic Season star. And that's exactly what Miss Risdon does for only such a varied career could make her the finished artist that she is. As she came back stage for an in- terview after her matinee perform- ance in "The Brontes," Miss Risdon seemed as natural and unaffected as if she were not still wearing the paint and wedding gown which she had worn in the last scene in which she appeared. Having started her stage career when she was young, Miss Risdon has been in the profession for thirty years. She has no remembrance of any de- cision to go on the stage, she just "al- ways intended to" as she put it. Miss Risdon still remembers the first play in which she appeared. "Gods In the Mountain" was the title, and the young actress had a walk-on part and one line to recite. Offering the gods a bowl of fruit, Miss Risdon was to say, "Oh ancient diety, par- take, partake." Over-anxious to be a success the then-inexperienced ac- tress stuttered out, "tarpake, tarpake." At this time she also had an oppor- tunity to understudy the scream-part. "I wanted a long time for something to happen to the person that was to give that scream, finally she did get sick, and I got a chance to scream, and did I let it rip," was Miss Risdon's comment. Since those early days, Miss Ris- don has played every type of play - Shakespeare, Shaw, O'Neill, all of them. She prefers comedy to tragedy, although whatever she- is playing at the time is the thing that appeals to her. "Comedy requires expert tech- nique, and that is what I enjoy more than anything. There is no such thing as being 'carried away by your emo- tions' in light comedy, it's all in know- (Continued on Page 6) Successful Candidates Serve As Members Board Of Directors To Of Students in 10 schools and colleges of the University will vote today to elect six vice-presidents of the Union who will serve as members of the board of directors of the Union for 1934-35.

Annual Alumni Meeting To Be HeldJune 14 Faculty Men Will Speak To Advisory Council At Meeting In Union The Alumni Advisory Council con- sisting of more than 200 members will hold its annual meeting Thursday, June 14, at the Union, according to Wilfred B. Shaw, director of alumni relations. The program for that day, Mr. Shaw explained, will consist of talks by various faculty members during the morning, a luncheon given the alumni by the University at noon, and finally a continuation of the speech- es, which will take up the greater part of the afternoon. The purpose and object of the Alumni Advisory Council, it was pointed out, is to consider and advise President Ruthven on matters or questions affecting the University which he may desire to submit to the Council. This meeting is a culmination of many minor ones of the various com- mittees appointed by the Council during the past year. Last week two such meetings were held at the Union. The Alumni Program Com- mittee and a few members of the Alumni Advisory Council met dis- cussing various problems of the Uni- Silver Action Will Be Sought By President Roosevelt Pr e p a re s His Message To Be Sent To Congress Soon WASHINGTON, May 16. - P)-- President Roosevelt tonight wrote a message for transmission to Congress proposing silver legislation after he had reached a general agreement on principles with Senate silver advo- cates. It was reliably reported that a unanimous agreement was reached on a bill for enactment this session. It was said that the President's message would relate to the metallic base behind the currency, including both gold and silver. The agreement was understood to provide for a mandatory declaration of policy that silver be included as a part- of the metallic base of currenc. The President's message will go to Congress within a day or two. It will review the steps taken heretofore in regard to the currency and- the me- tallic reserves and will make specific recommendations on the next steps the administration will propose for improving the monetary system. Discretion was expected to be left with the President for the purchase or the nationalization of silver. Senator Alva B. Adams, Colorado Democrat, said after the conference that for all practical purposes a final agreement had been reached for a mandatory declaration of policy that silver be acquired to achieve a mone- tary base consisting of 25 per cent silver and 75 per cent gold, and for permissive nationalization of silver. Adams said that the words 'author- ized and directed" would be in the policy declaration and that the only discretionary powers would have to do with the time and amount of silver to be acquired at one time. He said that the silver committee would take up the agreement with Democratic leaders, who have not been attending the conferences, to get "organization backing" behind the new bill. Silver certificates would be issued for the silver purchased, he said, on the basis of the present legal tender value of the dollar, or the token value of silver -- $1.29 an ounce. oca Chamber Of Commerce To Hear Ross Marketing principles as related to the meat industry will be reviewed in a special lecture to be given by R.

An additional demonstration has been planned for the students of the Ann Arbor High School, according to F. E. Bradley, in charge of local ar- rangements. This will be given at 12:30 a.m. Friday, in the auditorium of the school. In his demonstrations, which are open to the public without charge, Mr. Ross will outline new methods and ideas of merchandising meat prod- ucts, and the nutritive analysis of
