ages, will be featured.

BRITISH
PIANIST
Another European artist pre-
sented to America by Nazi aggression.s
Felix Sadowski formed the present
Polish Ballet after his company had'
been stranded in New York following
the German invasion of Poland.
The Ballet, scheduled, to be pre-
sented here at 8:15 p.m. Monday in
Hill Auditorium, stems from the orig-
inal troupe appearing at the New
York World's Fair under official Pol-
ish government sponsorship. Strand-
ed in New York with the opening of
hostilities, Sadowski organized the
Ballet to acquaint Americans with
the traditions of Polish national
dances.
Previous to his organization of the
World's Fair program, Sadowski was
ballet master of the Warsaw Grand
Opera and widely known throughout
Europe for his work both as an art-
ist and master choreographer.
sTheBallet's Ann Arbor appearance
follows a successful concert tour
marked by engagements in Philadel-
phia, Chicago, New York, Cleveland
and other cities. Monday's perform-
ance will be under the auspices of
the University Polonia Society.
Prima-ballerina for Sad ow ski's
group, Miss Janina Frost was en-
gaged by the Ballet in New York after
a successful European tour. Although
she has studied at the widely-known
Student Afflictions
Jump In January
In the monthly Health Service re-
port for January, 1942, the usual
number of acute upper respiratory in-
fections brought in the greatest num-
ber of patients.
These infections, or colds, are a
regular problem and January's total,
1,037, does not compare unfavorably
with that for the same period last
year, 1,659. Dermatology consulta-
tions showed an increase with 474 to
last year's 276.
Most amazing aspect of the statis-
tics are the 145 German measles
cases reported for this year against
none for the similar period in other
years. The care of these mild con-
ditions has been primarily a problem
of space.
Dispensary calls dropped approxi-
mately 2,000 over the same period of
a year ago. The other departments,
however, show no considerable change
from last year at this time.
Polish Ballet school, her birth-place
and first training is American.
Monday's program will not only
emphasize Polish and Hungarian folk
dancing, but will include the works of
such great masters as Paderewski,
Brahms and Chopin. Hungary will
also be represented by guest artist
Milo Luka, leading baritone of
Prague's national opera and now of
the Chicago Civic Opera Company.
One of the most moving presenta-
tions of the evening, Noskowski's
UmarI Maciek, Umarl (Matthew
Died, He Died) will be presented as
the finale. In this version of the
famous Polish folk tale, the young
peasant Maciek, mourned as dead by
his widow, rises to the strains of a
familiar Polish folk dance.
Tickets for this program will be
on sale in Hill Auditorium from 2 to
4 p.m. today, tomorrow and all day
Monday. They will also be offered at
the League, Union and campus book-
stores.

A total enrollment of 969 was cred-
ited the winter series of Engineering,

final enrollment figues yesterday.
Still holding the lead indicated by
preliminary figures, the course in
ordnance inspection originally open-
ed in Detroit by Prof. O. W. Boston
of the metal processing department
has an enrollment of 104, putting it
well out in front of the other courses.
Ann Arbor courses, offering me-
chanical drawing under Prof. Mau-
rice Eichelberger of the engineering
drawing department and descriptive
geometry under Prof. J. C. Palmer of
the same department, are credited
with enrollments of 28 and 19 respec-
tively, Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the
College of Engineering revealed.
Altogether a total of 31 courses
are being conducted in Ann Arbor,
Detroit and surrounding cities, ex-
clusive of the course in ordnance ma-
terials inspection which was opened
under U. S. Army Ordnance Depart-
ment supervision in mid-January.
This course, scheduled to enroll 100
men each month for a 12-week in-
struction period, got under way a bit
under par with its opening session
drawing a total attendance of only

Latest and last of the courses to
be opened under the ESMDT pro-
gram was a course in Ultra-High-
Frequency Techniques now being
conducted by Prof. Lewis N. Holland

townspeople.,
As a member of the University
faculty for 16 years and a close stu-

ified to analyze the pressing problem
of rising prices, expanding currency
and the resultant danger to national
economic stability.
Professor Watkins has gained rec-
ognition both here and abroad for

Steinbeck Film
To Be Shown
Cinema League To Bring
Story Of Mexican Life
John Steinbeck's vivid novel, "For-
gotten Village," which follows his "Of
Mice and Men" and "The Grapes of
Wrath" in film production, will be
presented by the Art Cinema League
at 8:15 p.m. Feb. 19, 20, and 21, in
the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
Vehement at the New York censors
who called the key sequence of the
film (depicting the tense face of a
peasant woman in childbirth) "im-
moral and indecent," the New York
Times declared that the scene "beau-
tifully symbolized the heavy travail of
humanity in the dark and should be
offensive to no one."
Dudley Nichols, who prepared the
screen plays of "The Informer," "The
Grapes of Wrath" and "The Long
Voyage Home," voiced the same opin-
ion in stating that if there were "any
moral reason or any logical cause why
the New York censors should step
between this film and free citizens
of a sovereign democratic state, then
so much the worse for contemporary
morality."
The drama, placed against a back-
drop of Mexican mountains, evolves
from the clash between the old and
new ways of life. The actors are the
actual villagers themselves. Unique
effects are provided by Hans Eisler's
music and Burgess Meredith's unus-
ually serious narrative.

and Saturday
The Law Wins Out
in Battle Of Words
Officer Krasny of the Ann Arbor
police force and speeding-driver
Robert Brauer of Jackson Road had
a running-board conversation after
the latter had pulled over to the side
of Huron Street yesterday.
The conversation went something
like this:
"Fifty miles an hour wins you a
free ticket, buddy," Officer Krasny
began.
"Look, officer," Mr. Brauer came
back. "I know I was speeding but I
don't think you ought to give me a
ticket. My financial condition is em-
barrassing. I'm still paying bills
from a wreck I was in last Novem-
ber."
"Really?" the law
Brauer had his ticket.
