The unimportant but persistent
German measles, which caused no
serious complications except to con-
fine 387 students to their beds at
the most inconvenient times this
month, nevertheless served to in-
crease the number of infirmary pa-
i tients this February to 438 as com-
pared to 292 cases last February.
Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, Director
of the Health Service, declared that
the measles which confine students
for two or three days at the most
have dropped off slightly to an aver-
age of about 10 cases per day as
compared to the previous 12 daily.
The pesky measles were also the
cause of 327 calls by Health Service
doctors, an increase of 155 over
those of last year.

Since its formal inception in

Two - year -old Anthony Smith,
"picked up in the street after a blitz
no relatives ever traced," has
been "adopted" by the girls of Stock-
well Hall.
The "adoption" of this English war
orphan was transacted when the 375
Stockwell girls, hearing the plea of
Mrs. Preston W. Slosson on behalf of
the American Save the Children Fed-
eration, pledged $120 to the cause.
This contribution will be supple-
mented by a sum from the British
government and will assure Anthony
of a healthy and happy year at Trle-
vince House, in Redruth, Cornwall,

cal SCF funds.

Campus Participation Urged
Adoptions have been made through
the local SCF group, collaborating
with a sister branch in England. Ann
Arbor co-chairmen Mrs. Preston W.
Slosson and Mrs. Edward W. Blake-
man urge all campus organizations to
participate in the current drive, to
that children in British war zones,
rendered homeless by the siege, will
find shelter and safety for the dura-
tion.
Costs Are Small
"If 20 members of a campus group
volunteered to maintain a baby in
the English shelter,Trevince, it
would only cost each of them $6.00
to keep the child for one year," Mrs.
Slosson pointed out. "And likewise,
the larger the group, the less the cost
will be to each."
Anothert"adoption" plan is pro-
posed. by the SCF. Contributions of
$30 will bring aid to an English child
in his own home, supplying food,
clothing and medical care for the
year.
i Groups or individuals wishing to
adopt a war baby may contact Mrs.
Closson or Mrs. Blakeman.

Council To Sponsor
Film On Consumer
"Here is Tomorrow," a film pre-

Cooperation existing today in the
United States, will be shown at 7:30
p.m. Sunday at the Union under the
sponsorship of the Intercooperative
Council. The picture will be open to
the generalpublic free ofcharge.
The film does not,- give a visionary
hope for the future, but shows in
careful, though dramatic, detail what
ordinary people are doing today to
supply themselves with their every
need at no profit to anyone but,
themselves.
"Here Is Tomorrow" demonstrates
how millions of ordinary men and
women have proyided themselves
with stores, service stations, refiner-
ies, warehouses and many other
types of business institutions ordi-
narily thought of as beyond the con-
trol of the common man.

Features Display
Of 'Spy' Letters
The fifth column and espionage
network in America during the Rev-
clutionary War is vividly depicted in
a selection of letters and documents
now on display in the main hall of
the Clements Library.
Included in the display which is
taken from the extensive collection
of manuscripts of that period in the
library, may be found code letters
by Benedict Arnold, and a letter from
Cornwallis to Clinton announcing the
surrender of Yorktown in 1781.
One of the most interesting is a
letter written seemingly innocent but,
intended to be read with the aid of
a mask-a sheet of paper with a
cut-out design-and reveals British
troop movements in the Chesapeake
Bay area.
Also on exhibition are a number
of maps illustrating war strategy and
plans of the battles of Bunker Hill,
Yorktown, Brandywine, and others
which played their part in the final
outcome of the war for freedom.
Professor Is Honored
One of 'the highest honors in the
art field was recently accorded Prof.'
Emil Weddige, instructor of design,
in the College of Architecture and,
Design, when his painting entitled
"Early Spring Courtship" was accept-
ed for exhibition by the Contempor-
ary American Artists. The display
will be open through April 5.
Spanish Club
Will, Produce
Costume Play
Promising the "biggest and best"
production in its entire history, La
Sociedad Hispanica will present "La
Independencia" as its annual all-
Spanish play March 17 in the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.
Commitees which will guide pro-
duction, announced yesterday by Dr.
Charles Stauback, of the Spanish de-
partment, director of the play, in-
clude: properties, Donald Mela, '44,
and Jane Restin, '43; costumes, Car-
melita Rosasco, '42, Lila Sanchez,
Laura Wingo, Grad., and Florence
Rowe; '43; stage and scenery, Law-
rency Aronsson, '43, Joseph Lefkof-
sky, '45, and Eric Zalenski, '44; make-
up, Virginia Appleton, '42Ed.
"La Independencia" is a 19th cen-
tury light comedy of manners. The
play will be costumed according to
the time, and much of the exuber-
ance of the comedy will depend on
the colorful garb of the actors. Sev-
eral soldiers will appear in full uni-
form regalia, and the mob scenes will
be highlighted by the vivid costum-
ing of the peasants.
The action of the play is inter-
woven with a variety of hand proper-
ties, which are inclued to add vivid-
ness and humor to the production.
Play Production and the Children's
Theatre of Ann Arbor are assisting
La Sociedad in collection of proper-
ties.
Students are still needed for act-
ing in crowd scenes and helping with
production, Dr. Stauback has an-
nounced. Tryouts are urged to con-
sult him concerning positions in the
Romance Language Building.
The dialogue of the play is entire-
ly in Spanish. Valuable oral prac-
tice is provided for both cast and
audience.

In the frequent discussios of a
new world order, what place will reli-
gion take? When the President
speaks of one of the four basic free-
doms as Freedom of Religion is he
merely being polite?
Endeavoring to answer these ques-
tions, the Rev. Harold P. Marley of
the Unitarian Church will deliver a
series of 'four sermons at 11 a.m. each
Sunday on the subject of "Religion
in the New World Order." This Sun-
day's will deal with the unique func-
tion of religion in war and in peace.
The end of March marks the thir-
teenth anniversary of Mr. Marley's
ministry in Ann Arbor, and during
this time he has addressed many
student groups on this and other
campuses.
Serving in a number of summer
work camps organized by the
Friends Service Committee for Stu-
dents, he has also headed the Civil
Liberties committee, the Council of
Religion and the Ministerial Asso-
ciation.
Prize To Be Given
By ROBERT, PREISKEL
The amazing story of 50,000 Chi-
nese youths and their need for help
from organizations like the World
Student Service Fund in a magnifi-
cent fight for education in the face
of poverty, disease and invasion was
told yesterday by Raymond Chen,
'44, and Paul Lim-Yuen, '43.
"With the advent of war," said
Lim-Yuen, "the Chinese found 93%
of their universities destroyed, and
now that the United States has en-
tered the conflict even the American
colleges, last educational strongholds
in the East, have been taken."
But in spite of this onslaught, the
number of students has increased
from 45,000 to 50,000, although the
new universities are often mud huts
or caves carved in the side of moun-
tains. Founded by 87% of the stu-
dents who attended the old Eastern
Universities and who trekked as
much as 2,000 miles over mountains
and across deserts, carrying 40-
pound packs, they are a testimony to
the determination of these people.
As evidence of the hardships en-
dured in these treks and at these
colleges where many engineering
students use bamboo for lead pipes
and study from a very few texts
with no lab work, Chen points to a
letter received from a friend.
Formerly attending a university
at Shanghai where the standard of
living was at least comparable to
ours, this lad tells of sleeping on two
boards supported by barrels, of
many more dying because they were
too weak to fight disease. Studying
by oil lamps, writing on "desks" made
from old crates, and sitting on seats
made of mud are common occur-
ences.
As at least partial alleviation of
these hardships, both Chen and Lim-
Yuen stress the value of work by
the World Student Service Fund,;the
latter saying, " . . . more than 10,O0Q
students have been helped since the
beginning of the present war by YM-
YWCA administered WSSF funds."
