Under the direction of Prof. Wil- liam D. Revelli the band will intro- duce and sustain the patriotic note of the program, as well as present a number of other selections for the audience's approval. Shortly after the beginning of the program a strain from "Anchors Aweigh" will herald the entrance of a contingent of sailors, guests of the Detroit Alumni in keeping with the patriotic theme. Peabody To Be Guest Soloist Also in keeping with that theme will be the presence of Lieut. Comm. Edwin Peabody, director of music at the U.S. Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, Ill., as guest conductor and soloist of the evening. Known as "The Banjo King" before becoming a naval officer, Command- er Peabody will present the same 'music which has already thrilled thousands of recruits at the Great Lakes Training Station.

Other former Union Opera stars will appear in the supporting cast, and the popular Can-Can chorus from this year's opera will also be at hand. Final attractions on the program will be the singing of the Psurfs, in- formal glee club of law students, and the playing of a "brilliant" new piano team of Milliken and Johnson. Hopwood Notes Among the "books to be published during spring months," featured in the March 8 New York Times Book Review section, are listed the manu- scripts of three former Hopwood con- testants. Beatrice Borst's 1941 $1000 winner, "Nearer the Earth," an "intimate study of one young woman's life," will make its debut under the Ran- dom House colors.

Building A Train Ina Four days: 'Under The Gaslight' Hostie To Lead War Problem Group Forum Belgian Citizen Will Open Student League Lecture Program Tomorrow "Problems Created by the War" will be the topic of a discussion toI be led by Prof. Jan F. Hostie of the1 political science department ot 8 p.m. tomorrow in Room 323 of the Union. The meeting will be sponsored by the Michigan Chapter of the Stu- dent League of America as part of it- new program. The first of a series of lectures and discussions, it is designed to make clear the problems and dangers involved in the present crisis and to survey various plans for reconstruction at the conclusion of the war. It will be a free and open forum for all those who attend. Major points to be discussed will be plans for international reorgani- zation and reconstruction, the value of such plans, and obstacles which must be overcome before they can be put into operation. Professor Hostie came to the Uni- versity at the beginning of the pres- ent semester. He took over classes conducted by Prof. Harlow J. Hene- man who at that time assumed direc- tion of the University War Board. A Belgian citizen, he was caught here at the time his country was overrun by the Nazis. He then was engaged in mediating a dispute which' had arisen between the American and Canadian governments. He has had much experience with the form and operation of inter- national organizations, having been connected with the League of Nations since its inception. Shipman To Head Ordnance Chapter Larry A. Shipman, '43E, officially assumed the duties of vresident of the University chapter of the Army Ordnance Association yesterday as the result of an election meeting held over the weekend. Other officers-elect were Phil Sharpe, '43E, vice-president; How- ard Strauss, '43E, recording secre- tary, and Charles Thatcher, '43E, corresponding secretary. Ray Gauthier, 42E, is retiring president of the organization, while other outgoing officers are Douglas Knight, '42E, vice-president and Harry Imming, '42E, recording secre- tary.

Since 1918 it has been a condition of employment (Continued on Page 4) Stage Crew Construction Problems CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING "Under the Gaslight" is causing more locomotive trouble to the stage crew which must construct a train of the 1860's than to the hero who is tied to the tracks as the iron horse approaches. First statement in proof of this fact is that the hero gets rescued. But no one is coming to the rescue of Robert Mellencamp, art director, and his hardy crew who must build a train in less than four days. This speedy construction would probably be very encouraging to Donald Nelson and others who wish to speed up production. Building the steam engine, how- ever, is only a small part of what must be accomplished by Sunday's dress rehearsal time. A pier, a ship and 10 sets must be completed also. (One of the 11 sets is finished.) The train in question is of the large-wheel, big-steam-funnel varie- ty and will be made of beaverboard painted black. It will roll on casters on a track which comes out towardj the audience from stage left. A big electric searchlight will also be part of the locomotive's equipment. Working on the principle that if Illustrated Talks Will Be Offered Noted Doctors Drs. Carl and Gerty Cori, well known husband and wife team from Washington University, will present three lectures here Friday and Sat- urday under the auspices of the De- partment of Biological Chemistry and the School of Medicine. Of special interest to students of the biological sciences, all lectures are to be held in the Rackham Amphitheatre and will be illustrated. They will be presented as follows: "The Role of Enzymes in Carbo- hydrate Metabolism," by Dr. Carl Cori, 4:15 p.m. Friday. "The Isolation and Properties of Some Enzymes Concerned with Car- bohydrate Metabolism," by Dr. Gerty Cori, 8:15 p.m. Friday. "The Enzymatic Conversion of Glu- cose to Glycogen," by Dr. Carl Cori, 11 a.m. Saturday. "the mountain can't come to Moham- med, Mohammed will go to the mountain," the river scene in which the heroine Laura is pushed into the water to drown will be created with- out bringing a river into the Lydia Mendelssohn. Special sound effects with rice and water will convey to the audience the point when the poor defenseless girl splashes into the H20. For the whole show a false pros- cenium will be used with a stylized space setting. The stylization exists in the angled walls of the standing scenery. Mellencamp decided upon this type of setting instead of drops because a more interesting effect will thus be achieved. In addition to the river and train scenes there are sets in Delmonico's Blue Room in New York City during the post-Civil War Period, an ornate parlor in the heroine's home (before she leaves home), a basement room in a tenement house in New York- slummy but picturesque, and a court- room scene. Since all the sets are not complete sets (according to the stylization), black curtain drops will be used to fill in around the tops of the scenery. "Under the Gaslight" by Augustin Daly will play before these sets under the auspices of Play Production of the Department of Speech Wednes- day through Saturday, April 1 to 4, in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Mail and phone orders are now being received at the box office. Previous presentations of Play Production this year were "Jim Dan- dy," by William Saroyan, "The Blue Bird," by Maurice Maeterlinck, the Kaufman-Hart comedy, "George Washington Slept Here," and "The Impresario" and "Cavalleria Rusti- cana."

Dickinson, 82- year-old foe of sin and "high life," proposed today that President Roose- velt enforce prohibition on the na- tion by proclamation for duration of the war. Dickinson, who in 1939 caused na- tion-wide repercussions with a blast at drinking which he said he wit- nessed at a national conference of governors in New York, said he "na- turally" expected such an executive order would be accompanied by "the banishing of liquors from the White House" and by abstention on the part of "all governors, congressmen, legislators and war leaders in their homes." The former governor declared in a formal statement such a prohibi- tion proclamation was imposed dur- ing the first World War, and told news men who questioned his mem- ory that "that's right, President Wil- son said it." He preluded his proposal with a statement that literally billions of dollars are lost annually due to crime and "its allies, insanity, disease and kindred ailments" andl in gambling "which can be traced to illegitimate use of liquors." Asserting enough money could be saved by returning the nation to pro- hibition to pay for the civilian pro- tective services, the former governor asked "What should be the first ef- fective act?" and answered the ques- tion himself thus: "Proclamation by the President suspending the sale of beverage liquors during the war." _. 1 .. / CONTINUOUS SHOWS 1-3-5-7-9 P.M. 2Sc to 5 P.M. - Then 40c ci. tax Now Their Latest P LAY ING!
