Woman Debate
Team Leaves
For Ohio State
Krause, Maxted, Taylor,
And 'Sapp To Participate
, Roundtable Conclave
Four women varsity .debaters will
leave this afternoon for Ohio State
University where they will take part
in a roundtable discussion on the
supression of anti-democratic organ-
izations in the United States.
Jane Krause, '41, Jean Maxted, '41,
Mary Martha Taylor, '41, and Jane
Sapp, '41, will make the trip to par-
ticipate in the roundtable with teams
from other Big Ten schools. This is
the only debate activity for women
scheduled this semester.
Roundtable discussions for women
were introduced last spring when the
four women who had been working
on the semester's Big Ten question
were asked to meet at Northwestern'
to discuss the position of married
women in society. Members of thei
team who made that trip were Betty
Jane Mansfield, '39, Janet Grace, '42,
Rosebud Scott, '42 and Miss Krause.E
The 'results of this first discussion
were so successful that coaches of the
Big Ten women's teams decided that
the debaters should work on a dis-
cussion topic the first semester of
each year and continue the regular
debate system the second semester.
In tomorrow morning's general as-
sembly, Miss Krause will point out
the problems connected with the
question. Miss Maxted will head a
roundtable discussion group, Miss
Taylor will give an after-dinner
speech, and Miss Sapp will present
the Michigan team's solution to the
problems presented.

To 10 Michigan students and
three alumni fa is the :task of re-
porting to the people of the state,
the nation and, sometimes, aof the
world, all major happenings at the
University.
They comrprise a slect reportorial
circle-the Ann Arbor correspond-
ents of newspapers, press services
and a few magazines. Seven of the
ten students are members of The
Daily staff; four are permanent resi-
dents of Ann Arbor. Some work on
space-rates, payment for the amount
of news published, while others, par-
ticularly those who represent na-
tional agencies, receive regular sal-
aries.
Ann Arbor, all agree, is anything
but a routine news source. Most of
its news, they say, comes from Uni-
versity administrative offices and
from the University News Service.
But other stories must be tracked
down to the strangest of sources.
Michigan alumnus George Stauter
covers both campus and city for the
Associated Press. Stan M. Swinton,
'40, is the United Press correspond-
ent here, and covers the city
for the Detroit Free P r ess.
Sports for the 13ree ?T ss are handled
by Ed Frutig, '41, varsity football
end, who intends someday to be a
metropolitan sportswriter.
Alumnus Allen Shoenfeld heads
the local bureau of the Detroit News.
David Zeitlin, '40, writes Michigan
news and sports for the Detroit
Times. Zeitlin has also originated

Is Captured After
Death Row Escape
A small brown monkey sits shiv-
ering disconsolately behind bars
again today after making a heroic
bid for freedom from the experi-
mentation cage in the Hygiene-Anat-
omy Laboratory.
Making good his escape from the
new Medical Building's death row
last week he jumped over an in-
structor's net and scrambled out of
the room, the primate specimen fled
to the top floor and hid in the ven-
tilation system.
The only evidence that he had not
escaped from thedbuilding was his
appearance one day 'from behind
water distilling apparatus to steal an
apple almost from the grasp of a de-
partment member. After this, food
was left for him and it disappeared
regularly.
The fifth day a monkey was see
swinging down the Medical Build-
ing's corridors to the first floor.
After him came three net-flourish-
ing teachers. They tracked him to
the medical students smoking room,
closed in, and captured him.
The disconsolate monkey might
take heart, however, if the fate of
another member of his family were
revealed to him. Three years ago
a laboratory specimen escaped and
resisted capture in campus trees. He
was shot.

Four soloists from New York, Pal-
mer Christian, organist, the Choral
Union and the University Symphony
Orchestra conducted by Thor John-
son, will unite musically at 4 p.m.
Sunday in Hill Auditorium to present
Handel's "Messiah," the traditional

Dr. Charles A. Sink, president of the
Society, said last night.
The program, which has been a
regular feature of the School of Mu-
sic Concerts for many years, has at-
tracted four professional artists who
are well-known on the New York
concert stage: Beal Hober, soprano;
William Hain, tenor, Joan Peebles,
contralto, and Theodore Webb, bari-
tone.
Miss Hober received great recogni-
tion last year when she was selected
by the Theatre Guild to play the
part of Malwina Schnorr in "Pre-
lude to Exile," the dramatization of
an incident from Richard Wagner's
life. alwina Schnorr was the singer
Wagner himself chose to create the
role of Isolde in his opera, "Tristan
and Isolde."
Mr. Hain has been in large demand
for oratorio work. The Oratorio
Society of New York, the Schola
Cantorum and the Cleveland Sym-
phony Orchestra have engaged him
as soloist in such works as the
"Messiah" and Bach's "St. Matthew
Passion." He has also been connect-
ed with several opera and light-
opera companies.

Dorr said. And that is the supersti-1
tion surrounding the death in office
of every Republican president elect-
ed in a year divisible by 20 during
the past 100 years. This supersti-
tion came quite prominently" into
view in Chicagoin 1920 at the Re-
publican National Convention, Pro-
fessor Dorr related, when there was
quite a fight to keep Harding from
running for president, for fear 'he'
might diebut Harding declared he
didn't give a damn for superstition.
Nevertheless he 'died, And 1940 is
divisible by 20.
Dewey's position in the national
political set-up is, compared to the
other two Republican big names,
rather that of an outsider, Profes-
sor Dorr said, inasmuch as the old
guard is pretty much in control of
the national committee. But the
rank and file of the party determine
the popularity of a candidate, so if
Dewey gets enough publicity from the
right sources, and receives enough
public acclaim, Professor Dorr point-
ed out, he may succeed in overcom-
ing the national committee.
