Will Entertain
At Fort Custer
Players To Give Comedy
At Request Of Soldiers;
Leave For Camp Today
Play Production -students will leave
today for Fort Custer to give the
first of two performances of "George
Washington Slept Here" for the en-
tertainment of soldiers there.
According to Miss Ethel McCor-
mack, social director of the League,
the army men, particularly the dra-
matic group out there, have been
clamoring to see the show for some
time. With Miss McCormack as in-
termediary the final arrangements
have been made and the players are
all set to go.
The Kaufman-Hart comedy, which
has been presented here very suc-
cessfully on two different occasions-
by the Michigan Repertory Players
last summer and by this same Play
Production cast last month-has had
a total local audience of approxi-
mately 5,200. With the two per-
formances today and tomorrow that
will be swelled near to the 7,000 mark.
The entire defense benefit is under
the auspices of the United Service
Organizations for National Defense,
Inc., which will provide transporta-
tion facilities for the cast and crew
on both days and also dinner.
The showings will be held in the
U$O Club Theatre in Augusta, a
town just outside the army camp.
Spanish Club
To Hear Colby
Lecture Today
Speaker Will Emphasize
Aspects Of Portuguese,
Spanish Likenesses
Presenting the third lecture in the
La Sociedad Hispanica series, Leroy
Colby of the Spanish department will
give an address, "Some Similarities
between Spanish and Portuguese," at
4:15 p.m. today in Room D, Alumni
Memorial Hall.
Emphasizing the importance of a
knowledge of Portuguese today, Colby
will describe the various aspects of
the language. He will trace its de-
velopment, along with Spanish, from
Latin, showing the differences and
similarities of the two languages.
Colby will center his attention on
Brazil, for it is the only Portuguese-
speaking nation in South Amer-
ica. It is necessary, therefore, in our
relations with Brazil to have Amer-
icans trained in speaking and writing
Portuguese. A fact of practical im-
portance is that any person speaking
Portuguese can understand Spanish
and vice versa.
Facilities for student instruction
here in Portugese will be sketched.
Colby will deliver his speech in Eng-
lish, but linguistic comparisons will
be made in the original languages. It
is not necessary, 'however, for stu-
dents to know either Spanish or Por-
tuguese in order to understand the
entire lecture.

By MARY RONAY
In order to stimulate among col-
lege students a widespread study of
Pan-American affairs, the Office of
Coordinator of Inter-American Af-
fairs is sponsoring a national extem-
pore-discussion contest for arl col-
leges and universities in the United
States.
The Department of Speech and the
International Center of the Univer-
sity of Michigan are cooperating in
sponsoring the intraschool meet and
also the state-wide district confer-
ence.
The local directors of the prelimin-
ary contest have emphasized the fact
that all eligible students of the Uni-
versity are permitted to participate.
It is an all-campus affair and not
restricted to members of the Speech

four sections. So that the selection
of delegates to the district confer-
ences can be made, all institutions
will hold intraschool conferences.
The winners of the district meets will
participate in regional conferences,
and the delegates chosen from this
contest will enter the national finals
which will be held in Washington,
