Players Group
To Give Comic
Opera Nov. 9
Prof. Carr Writes Libretto
For Play To Be Given In
School Auditorium
The Hampstead Community Play-
ers, builders of the first Ann Arbor
open-air amphitheatre, will present
two plays before the Christmas holi-
days, it was announced yesterday by
Dr. Harold Whitehall of the English
department and production manager
for the forthcoming production.
The first of these, "Frontiers," will
be given in the middle of November
in the Pettingill Auditorium of the
Ann Arbor High School. The libret-

to was written by Prof. Lowell J.
Carr of the sociology department and
the score by Dr. Heinreich Handorf
of Northville. "Frontiers" is a comic
opera which was first presented in
the summer by the group in its
amphitheatre.
The director of the production will
be Barbara Van de Vort.
In the future, Dr. Whitehall ex-
plained, the Players 'may produce
scripts submitted to the Hopwoods
for awards. In this way, he pointed
out, the group will have a steady
supply of good material and-the pros-
pect of having their mansucripts pro-
duced will serve as an incentive for
more Hopwood writing.
After Christmas, it was explained,
the group hopes to give one perform-
ance a month, and after May will
move into its amphitheatre.
The amphitheatre was built this
summer by the members of the group
and has been equipped with a modern
lighting system and a 40-foot stage
overlooking the Huron River. The
amphitheatre is near Hampstead
Lane, the home of Professor Carr,
which accounts for the name of the
group.
ALUMNI TO REGISTER
Registration of all alumni for the
purpose of establishing their pres-
ence in town will be held by the
alumni authorities ,in the Union to-
day, with similar registration being
conducted by the Union authorities.

ized and numerous air force and
thorough organization for supplying
munitions were stressed as the sound-I
est way to keep this country out of
war by Alex Dow, president of the
Detroit Edison Co., in a talk before
the Conference at dinner last night
in the Union.
Although, Mr. Dow emphasized,
there seemed practically no possibili-
ty at present that the United States'
would be attacked by a foreign pow-
er, the experiences of the World War
and other national conflicts had
shown the necessity for complete pre-
paredness for any eventualities. Mu-
nitions supplies in particular, Mr. Dow
speaking from information which his
capacity as director of the Third
Munitions District has brought him
said, are frequently found disastrous-
ly insufficient.
Dismembered China was cited by
Mr. Dow as an excellent example of
an unprepared land helpless before
more efficiently organized and di-
rected countries.
Orient Situation Safe
The situation in the Orient, how-
ever, Mr. Dow anticipated, is not
likely to involve this country except
in the contingency that Japanese ex-
pansion into the Philippines were
actively opposed by Australia. Like-
wise the nations of' central Europe,
confronted by Hitler's ambitions to
annex the Ukraine to Germany,
might be close to conflict, but such
conflict could not draw the United
States into war, in Mr. Dow's opinion.
In western Europe and the Medi-
terranean region, where Mr. Dow
saw conditions which might precipi-
tate general war despite the repug-
nance of the peoples to fighting, a
very grave and insulting "slap in the
face," due to the resulting turmoil,

To Spanish And
Italian Classes
The Romances language are enjoy-
ing a substantial increas'e this year
in total number of students enrolled,
asserts Prof. Hugo P. Thieme, chair-
man of the department. Italian is
in the van with a 40 per cent increase
while Spanish also promises to reach
a much higher figure than last year.
Professor Thieme was unable to ac-
count for the decided increase, espe-
cially in Spanish as the latter has
been steadily regressing during the
past few years.
The unanticipated rise in enroll-
ment has left the department con-
siderably undermanned, Prof. Thieme
said. Whereas, formerly the average
number of students per class ranged
from 10 to 20, it has now become
expedient to increase this number
to 25 to 35, he said. "An increase
of the teacher-pupil ratio is particu-
larly distressing in languages," he
went on, "as it renders the classes
too cumbersome for satisfactory indi-
vidual attention.
When questioned on the quality of
his students over a period of years,
Professor Thieme stated that the
whole department has noted a de-
cided change in attitude on the part
of the students, since the depression.
