Gliders Seek-
Landing Field
As New Base
Power Planes Take Place
Of Glider Headquarters
At Ann' Arbor Airport
It is a case of too many planes at
the Ann~ Arbor Airport.
Because of the large number of stu-
dent flyers enrolled this year in the
Civil Aeronautics Authority Pilot
Training Program, the University
Gliding Club, oldest and largest in
the country, has been forced to re-
linquish its headquarters to the power
planes.
The search for a suitable field as
a base for the Glider Club has begun.
At present the Club is operating from'
a field on the property of Prof. George
G. Gross of the architecture school.
The field, however, is relatively small
and is 10 miles from Ann Arbor.
80 Acres Needed
Needed is a field about 80 acres
in extent, or the equivalent of a half-
mile square, with free approaches.
The field should be relatively smooth,
officials of the club explain, but some
allowances can be made because the
club will use a winch for towing.
This method of launching will
replace the older method of auto
towing first popularized by the Uni-
versity club in 1928.
Gliding Activitiest
Gliding activities will be carried
on at the field every weekday after-
noon and on Sunday mornings. The
60 members of the club are divided
into groups, each of which trains one
day during the week in the two
Franklin PS-2's owned by the Club.
Very little damage would result
from the use of the field, according
to the Club's officers, since the equip-
ment is light and all club activities
are carried on during the winter
months.
Any person who cares to provide a
field for the Club may reach the offi-
cers at the Aeronautical Engineering
Office in East Engineering Building.

'Family Portrait' Causes Many
Difficulties In Stage Designing,

Play Production's Scenery
Man Explains Four Sets
For Forthcoming Play
While nimbly dodging in and
around huge stage sets and between
hurried shouts of instruction to his
few assistants,. Robert Mellencamp,
Play Production's stage designer,
poured forth his lamentations about
the difficulty of preparing scenery
for the organization's forthcoming
play, "Family Portrait,".
The setting must be both timeless
anda locationless, he explained, and
designing scenery to carry out such
an idea is anything but easy. When
the play ran in New York City, he
added, the setting used was similar
to that in da Vinci's "Last Supper."
However, that set proved unsatisfac-
tory, he explained, because Renais-
sance scenery was used to portray
the time of Christ.
-One Way Out_
One way out of the dilemma, Mel-
lencamp observed, would have been
a hodge-podge of scenery from all
eras, so confusing that no audience
could classify the play in time or
place. The final decision, neverthe-
less, he said, was to choose a com-
mon denominator in scenery for all
eras, and this denominator is merely
-extreme simplicity.
Decorations will be kept at a mini-
mum, he explained, giving every
scene a plain and unpretentious as-
pect. Coloring will not be spectacu-

tory, Rosenzweig stated. Plans were
made for a hayride to be given soon,
and the meeting ended with a hike
around Barton Hills.
Faculty sponsors for the club were
named. They are Wayne Whitaker,
Instructor in Anatomy, and Charles
W. Spooner, Instructor in Mechanical
Engineering. A third sponsor will be
named by the executive committee,
made up of the new officers.
The next meeting will be held at

Alumni Club Shows

Kinkead Will Give Organ
Recital This Afternoon

jor) by Franck, "Benedictus" by Re-
ger and Choral et Fugue (Sonata V)

lar, and will tend toward earth hues,
he stated.
Four Settings
Four settings will be used in the
play, which will portray Christ's
family, shorn of all legend, and mys-
tery shown merely as an "everyday"
group: a. farm courtyard, a wine
shop, street scene and an upstairs
room. Mellencamp emphasized that,
so many scene changes will necessi-
tate fast work in changing. Wagons
will be used in all the sceneshifting,
he said.
Mellencamp and his aids began
work on these sets Saturday, and will
not finish completely until the open-
ing day of the play, Wednesday,
Nov. 8.
Case Club To Hold
Series Of. Trials
Special trials were held Monday in
the Freshmen Case Clubs, John.
Adams, '40L, justice in the clubs an-
nounced, because a preliminary ex-
amination conflicted with the regu-
lar time last Friday.

Thursday and Friday of every week
from now until Christmas vacation,
Adams said, and they are all open
to the public.
The justices were chosen last year

the Case Club finals. In addition to
Adams, John Rubsam, '40L, Roy
Steinheimer, '40L, and Robert Solo-
mon, '40L, act as judges ,in the clubs.
Because of the large number of law
students taking part in the clubs, an,
additional justice was chosen from
the runners-up, John Pickering, '40L.

International Center
Hallowe'en .Party
Introduces Dances
A bit of early America was recalled
yesterday in the Union Ballroom as
the International Center introduced
at its annual Hallowe'en party a
series of American folk dancing pro-
grams.
'With the Ford dance orchestra
playing all the tunes of another era,
Ford dance director Benjamin Lov-
ett led the assembled foreign and
American students through an intri-
cate series of square dances, reels and
promenades. The promenades, in
which the counting-off system kept
partners changing continually, were
designed, according to Mr. Lovett, to
promote introductions.
A group of specially trained dancers
from the Ford school in Dearborn
first demonstrated the various dances,
after ,which the guests tried their
hand at it.
The first in the Center's series of
Woman's programs will be given at
4 p.m. today in the Center, Prof. J.
Raleigh Nelson, director, announced
