Thus Valentine B. Windt, Director of Play Productions, ex- pressed his admiration and regard for Martha Scott, '32, who has be- come a famous actress both on Broadway and in Hollywood. While in school here at the Uni- versity Miss Scott was very active in Play Productions, Windt said. She gave approximately 15 performances in such plays as "Berkeley Square", "Taming of the Shrew", "The Good Hope" and "Marriage of Conveni- ence". From here the young actress went on to the Detroit Civic Theatre and from there to the Chicago World Fair, where she played Shakespearean roles for the Globe Theatre Company. Before long Miss Scott found herself making a hit on Broadway in the production "Our Town". In fact she did so well that she was chosen to fill the lead in the Hollywood ver- sion of the same play. Now she has firmly entrenched herself in the hearts of her fans all over the coun- try-and especially in Michigan. Mr. Windt had nothing but the highest of praise for his former stu- dent. She was always cooperative, extremely hardworking and ambi- tious, he said. "She has the type of spirit and personality which makes her live long in the memory of those who are fortunate enough to work with her," Windt added. In a recent article in "Colliers" Miss Scott accredited her success to the help and encouragement given her by Mr. Windt when she was here at the University. When Windt was questioned as to the reason for the young star's rapid rise to fame, how- ever, he said it was due to her sin- cerity and simplicity. "She was al- ways so genuine and unaffected," Windt emphasized. Without doubt both views are correct-it took a combination of them to achieve the final result. The finest thing about Miss Scott is that she has not let her success go to her head. She is still the same lovable person she was when she was a student here, Windt said.

The so-called "Stadium bonds" will be retired in the next two months. The action was in line with a policy fol- lowed since a period of expansion immediately after 1927 saw the Sports and Women's Athletic Build- ings erected as part of the Universi- ty's magnificent athletic plant. Action On Cross Country Favorable action was also taken on a request from Varsity Track Coach Ken Doherty for an opportunity to enter members of his squad in the cross-country event held each fall. The board's approval did not reestab- lish cross-country as a sport, but will merely allow Doherty to enter men from the group which participates each fall as a conditioning measure. Final action of the board approved a 40-cent admission charge for stu- dents at swimming meets and hockey games, and admission upon presenta- tion of identification cards at basket- ball games and track meets. k' i I I p. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING II By ROBERT SPECKHARD t "The rulers of the European coun- tries, not the common people. draggedI those countries into the conflict that now rages there," commented Bill Clark, '42, summarizing the exper- iences of being shuffled all over the continent for eleven months when war broke out in September of '39. Bill was one of the two Michigan students who were to study at the American University in Beirut, Syria, as part of the exchange of students between the two institutions. Ismail Khalidi, Grad, and Fakhri Maluf, Grad, are the two representatives of the American University now on campus, the latter being just recently sentenced to a 15-year prison term in absentia by the new French govern- ment for political activity. Clark arrived in Plymouth, Eng- land, on July 20, 1939. "After visit- ing London and Canterbury, where I saw workmen already removing the stain glass windows of that famous cathedral, I went on to Amsterdam, Holland, as an Episcopalian delegate to the World Conference of Christian Youth," Bill related. "1500 youth of all denominations, hailing from 70 different nations, there pledged themselves to perpetual brotherhood, only one month before Europe was to be thrown into bit- ter warfare," Bill recounted. At the conference Bill overheard a remark between a boy from the Balkans and a French boy that was to characterize the sentiment of the people he ques- tioned all over the continent. "Al- CORRECTION: No, there aren't 11,952 freshmen in the University-nor were there 12,098 students in the class of 1943; despite the statements to that effect published in yester- day's edition of The Daily. The figures, quoted from a re- port which was released recently by the Statistical Division of the Registrar's Office, referred to to- tal enrollment in the University this year (11,952) and last year (12,098). The record enrollment referred to by the reporter was that of the school year 1939-40, not that of the class of '43. The 1.2 percent decrease in enrollment mentioned indicated that the all-University figure had dropped, not that pres- ent sophomores outnumbered the class of '44. though our countries will probably be at war for a few months," said the boy from the Balkans, "we shall always remain friends." In Germany on his way to Syria, Bill spent several days with three youthful German aviators who had fought for Franco in Spain for 18 months. "They told me they had no quarrel with the Spanish people," Bill said, "but as all good army men they must obey orders." The im- minence of war forced Bill to leave for Paris. "The French capital was a beehive of activity," Clark related, "for all Paris expected that the city would be bombed the first night of the war. Soldiers were leaving for the front while other trains carried women and children to the provinces. The line- up before the gas-mask dispensary was five blocks long." When the war was actually de- clared on Sept. 3 Bill went to Dinard, Brittany and spent three months as a volunteer workman on a farm near- by, helping out a widow and her 19-year-old daughter, whose brothers had been called to the front. Christ- mas was spent with an English fam- ily in Dinard; Bill has only recent- ly learned that one son of his host was killed with the R.A.F. over Bel- gium and that the other now resides a prisoner in a German internment camp. In January Bill went to Paris once more when passport regulations were changed. "There I met a number of Czech boys who had escaped their Nazi occupied homeland," Bill re- counted. "Some intended to join the French army while others hoped to continue their studies. All of them were barely able to exist on the very small funds that were provided, a portion of which was provided by American students through the agency of the World Student Service Fund." In Italy, on his way to Beirut, Bill reported signs forbidding political discussions. A barber who cut his hair told him that Freud s works were banned because he was Jewish. In January of this year Bill arrived at the University, one semester late.
