'Too Early' Effects Says To Predict Dr. Fisher @----------- Debaters To End Season ARainst Northwe ste ' n Michigan varsity debaters will fin- ish their home season when they meet a Northwestern University squad in a non-decision contest at 8 p.m. Thursday in the North Lounge of the Union. The discussion will be on railroad ownership, Arthur Secord, coach of men debaters, announced yesterday.

Halstead Cites Hos ig Play's LocalAngles Despite the fact that Arthur Arent wrote ". . one third of a nation ." to portray the housing prob- lem in large cities, a specific Ann Arbor angle has been added in cer- tain places for Play Production's forthcoming presentation, Prof. Wil- am P. Halstead of the speech de- partment; director of the play, an- nounced yesterday. (". . . one tnird of a nation will be given Wednesday through Saturday in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. The theatre box office opens at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow.) Thp dramatization of this serious housing problem is the primary ir- terest of the play, Professor Hal- stead, added. Whatever dramatic plot thereis, he explained, ,merely constitutes the means of putting the problem across. No 'conscious ,at tempt is made to actually tell a story, he commented. One of the principal reasons Play' Production chose this play, Profes- sor Halstead observed, is that stu- dents are so interested in the problem it presents. This modern problem, presented with so much modern ap- peal, proved popular for a long time even with blase Brodway audiences, he added. Humor and fact are stressed througliout ". . . one third of a na- tion ...". Professor Halstead said. The humor is, for the most part, izdii- ic, he explained, and is derived fornm a very scrious problem withotlosing sight of that problem.

RADI an M I A Cobs Phones 3030 or 7009 Dr Charles "A. Fisher, director of the University Extension Service, said yesterday that 'it is "still too early" to predict how much the work of the organization will expand in Detroit as the result of the new facil- ities which will be offered by the $1,500,000 Horace H. Rackham'Me- morial Building. "It will probably mean an increase in the'number of students taking work, and will offer more courses for study accordingly,"' Dr. Fisher said, "but we have made no plans yet." Established in 1914, the Detroit branch of the Extension Service now gives instruction to about 3,300 stu- dents annually. Members of the University faculty conduct 55 courses each semester.
