THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY,.FEB. 24, 1 NEWSI Puppet Presentation Obviates Peer Gynt Technical Troubles Of The DAY (By The Associated Press) Pain Disturbs Pope But Condition Is 'Unchanged' VATICAN CITY, Feb. 23.-0GP)-In- termittent pain disturbed Pope Pius tonight, although his condition was reported fundamentally unchanged.. The tight bindings on his legs added, to his discomfort, it was understood. Dr. Aminta Milani, the Pope's physician, was reluctant to loosen the leg bandages for fear wounds brought on by the Holy Father's condition might reopen. Prompt Test Planned For Sumners Bill WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-(A)- Senate leaders arranged tonight for a prompt test of Senate sentiment on the Sumners Bill, which would per- nit Supreme Court justices to retire on full pay at the age of 70. Passage is generally predicted, for numerous Senators who have an- nounced unyielding opposition to President Roosevelt's proposal for re- vapning the Supreme Court are al- readyr to vote for the retirement bill.. It already has the approval of the House,_ Ibsen's Play Is To Be Given Saturday; Orchestra Will Accompany Production By IRVING S. SILVERMAN The use of marionettes in produc- ing Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" will obviate many of the numerous technical dif- ficulties of staging that play, Prof. Norman L. Willey of the German department believes. The Tatterman Marionettes, na- tional famous group, will offer "Peer Gynt" Saturday, Feb. 27 in matinee and evening performances, brought to the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre by Prof. Herbert A. Kenyon of the R~omance Languages department and director of the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Calling the play a "caprice of Ib- sen's," Professor Willey explained that "The great poet never conceived. that this 'dramatic poem,' as he called it, would ever be staged; he wrote it merely for the reader and paid no at- tention whatsoever to the difficulties of presenting it visually. 'There are very few people," he said, "who have ever seen "Peer Gynt" on the stage and of these not one in 10 has seen the entire play, for if it is not cut mercilessly p requires two performances to com- plete.it." Professor Willey further explained the play from the point of drama- turgical workmanship as "the most capricious of all the master's prod- ucts; it violates every unity, covers the space of a lifetime, carries us from Norway to Morocco and Egypt and back again to Scandinavia, and introduces episodes that are com- pletely foreign to the central action of the play. As a result it is very hard to follow; in fact, I doubt," Pro- fessor Willey continued, "if any stu- dent ever understood "Peer Gynt" at the first reading. I can vouch for the fact," he emphasized, "that some of them have not!" In spite of these difficulties, Profes- sor Willey explained that "Peer Gynt" is the "most characteristically Nor- wegian of all Ibsen's works, and it is so familiar to his countrymen that, everyone quotes from it unconscious- ly. The master uses the tattered braggart to ridicule the shortcomings of Norwegians. Yet they have adopt- ed the figure of Peer Gynt as their national hero almost as we Yankees have Uncle Sam." Accompanying the performance will be the University Symphony Or- chestra Peace Council Meeting Is To Be Held Tonight The University Peace Council will meet at 7:30 p.m. today in the Union,I it was announced yesterday by Ju- lian Orr, '37, president, in order to discuss plans for the annual peace rally in April. Also to^be considered at tonight's meeting, to which all students inter- ested in the cause of peace are in- vited, is the "15 minutes a month for peace" program by which stud nts are to devote that much time wriing letters to their Congressmen demand- ing a stand on neutrality legislation. The Council hopes to make the pro- gram on this campus one of the most significant of such programs being carried on on college and uni- versity campuses throughout the United States.

Gradu ate Students Recall Prohibition (Continued from Page 1) obtainable, have risen in popularity in Ann Arbor, one graduate student pointed out, and he believed that this resulted in an increased number of women drinkers. Several lawyers ex- pressed the belief that women) had been more wary of violating the law and that repeal had increased the indulgents among women for this reason. Despite the widespread popularity, of beer drinking in Ann Arbor to- day, rye and scotch whiskey and gin are by no means neglected by the 1937 undergraduate: The sales of the state liquor store downtown re- port that these three are by far the most popular with customers from the east of Division. The sales of the leading liquor dispenser on State Street manifested the same tendency, for lie reported scotch in the lead with gin a close second. Dances Significant Dances are one of the leading provocations for the 1937 undergrad- uate to ply himself with drink just as they were during prohibition, one lawyer observed. He accounted for this phenomenon of drinking by say- ing they provided a good excuse 'to drink because they were boring oth- erwise and that this proceedure often developed into a habit. He expressed the futility of laws to change such behavior and said that during prohibition and now too, "it seems to be a generally accepted principle that a dance is the time to drink. If a man has been drunk three times you may be sure that it was in connection with three dances." INSTRUCTIONS Every forn of dancing. Open 10 to 10. Terrace Garden Studio. Wuerth Theatre Bldg.

Professor Shartel advocates that Congress pass a law compelling the high Court justices to retire at 75 with full pay. Despite the fact that the Constitution decrees that Federal judges shall hold office "during good behavior," he argues the validity of such an act. The good behavior ten- ure clause is not absolute, he claims, and if Congress can lay down rules (such as age requirements) govern- ing appointments given to the Pres- ident and Senate without strings in an equally absolute clause by the Constitution) it can lay them down for retirement. Professor Shartel But Constitutional or iot, Professor Shartel thinks his plan will have the effect of getting enough so-called conservative justices off the bench to allow the President to appoint men who will uphold New Deal legislation. He thinks those over 70 by April 11- they will include Chief Justice Hughes and Justices Sutherland, Mc- Reynolds, Vandevanter and Brandeis -would be so embarrassed that they would resign rather than contest ac- tion by the new justices requiring them to show reason why' they should. Or, even if they should contest it in a District .of Columbia Court, where such action would have to start, Pro- fessor Shartel points out that they would be extremely unlikely to sit on a case involving themselves. If they did not, Justices Car-doza and Stone, New Deal supporters, might well be expected to uphold the act of Con- gress-if it can be upheld at all- and left to oppose it would be the New Deal opponents, Justices Butler - ~ - l WfE THE PEOPLE PERPETUAL PLACEMENT SERVICE amilton Business College William at State Street Phone 7811 SHORTHAND-' STENOTYPY (Machine Shorthand) of the Michigan Union Orchestra, have been informed that the Union Ballroom will be occupied by: FROSH FROLIC 0 0 0 March 12.
