r ~r rcri~ THEiiiGi1iJ i>~iIJY - \ T "L R.E.A. CONFERENCE: Uprged h gio Tr07.1 Tunisian Mud Slows Allied Operations Religious education needs special supervision just as much as any oth- er kind of training, Dr. Ernest J. Chave, president of the National Re- ligious Education Association, said yesterday in speaking before forty representatives of religious groups at the ninth annual conference of the Michigan R.E.A. "This supervision involves three major emphases," he continued. "There must be a statement of the aim and objects by the teaching staff in terms of changes to be ex- pected; there must be a record kept of what takes place among persons and groups in behavior; and there must be a re-study of the super- visor's program with the concerte use of what has taken place while former goals are being pursued." Election of officers for the Mich- igan chapter of the R.E.A. was also held. Dean Johnh . Quinn of the University of Detroit was chosen president; the Rev. E. E. Piper of St. Mathias' Rectory of Detroit is vice-president and Mrs. Alice God- dard, director of religious education for the Detroit Council of Churches is the new secretary. Dr. E. W. Blakeman has been appointed per- manent counselor for the Michigan group., In a special survey made by Ed- ward G. Grosbeck and Dr. Blake- man, it was pointed out that only 28 per cent of the students in state universities and colleges in Michi- gan attend worship regularly, while in church colleges 80 per cent of the students participate. This survey, whicli is now being carried on throughout the United States, will attempt to clarify such problems as the provision of religious education for men in uniform on campuses, and the continuing of religious programs on curtailed budgets. Special reports on religious lead- ership werelgiven by Prof. Charles Kraft of Albion, Dean Joseph P. Selden of Wayne University, and Dean John F. Quinn of the Uni- versity of Detroit. Glee Club Will Hold Serenade Mens sGroi Io Sing .A 'All-Campus' Event An All-Campus Serenade by the Men's Glee Club will be given for all students Thursday, April 29, on the steps of the Main Library. Featuring rollicking songs, senti- mental songs, and all the songs of campus tradition, the sing will give everyone the opportunity to hum, sing, or whistle with the group, his chum, or his date. Prof. David Mattern, director of the Men's Glee Club, says that "Every Michigan student wants to learn and to sing his own college songs. The All-Campus Serenade will fulfill this desire, and the student can sing the "best of our college songs." The Glee Club will present a few special songs which have been -chos- en favorites on their serenades. While the theme of the serenade will be the songs of Michigan, the. pro- gram will not neglect the old favor- ites and the community songs that everyone enjoys singing.

Similar conditions, which caused mobile equipment to bog down, have held up Allied opera- tions through much of the winter. FRIENDLY NEUTRALITY: Student Gives Explanation for Argentina's Isolationist Policy Prof. Koella VNill Diiect Production Involves Problems of Accent And Characterization "The production of a foreign lan- guage play such as 'Le Monde ou' l'on s'ennuie', this year's French play to be given at 8:30 p.m., April 27, in the Lydia Mendelssohn Thea- tre, involves problems which are not met in others." Prof. Charles E. Koella, director of the French plays and faculty adviser of the French Club,.said yesterday. One of the first problems is that of developing good pronunciation and intonation. "The majority of this cast," said Prof. Koella, "possess an excellent French accent." Characterizations Are Difficult There is also the problem of char- acterization in a foreign language. Constance Taber, for instance, plays the part of a shrewd duchess, a wom- an of the world. Shirley Robin, as Suzanne, is a vivacious, unmannered young French girl. Sally Levy plays the part of the sophisticated Comitesse de Ce'ran. Hazel Batchelor has the problem of portraying an aristocratic English- woman without an English accent. Hoe Seltzer must assume the !gruff voice of the general in French. Jack Vaughn as Francois imitates an Eng- lish accent in French. Richard Kop- pitch, as a learned orientalist, deliv- ers a philosophical speech in French. Have Not Studied in France "These people," said Prof. Koella, "have not studied in France. How- ever, their characterizations are ex- cellent." The members of the cast are also finding that 'gestures in a French play differ from those in another play. "But the members of the cast are learning these gestures and in- tonations which are typical of French high society quickly," Prof. Koella said. Besides directing several French plays, including "La Belle Aventure," last year's French play, and "Les Dames aux chapeaus verts" in 1939, Prof. Koella has also acted in French plays. He played the part of Harpa- gon in "The Miser" by Moliere, which was given by the French club in 1939. Pre-Med Club To Meet The Pre-Medical Society will meet at 8 p.m. today in Room 304 of the Union. Dr. Frederick H. Chard of the dermatology department of the medical school will give a lecture illustrated with colored slides. 1943 BIKE LICENSES DUE Applications for 1943 bicycle li- censes may now be obtained at the City Clerk's office in the City Hall, the Police Department announced, 1942 tags expire May 1. POST-WAR PROBLEMS: Dil~iies "w f rtwiro &f i field be the topic of a panel discussion sponsored by the Post-War Council at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the League. Participating on the panel will be The Rev. Daniel Hughes, formerly of Wales and pastor of the Welsh Pres- byterian Church in Detroit, and Prof. William B. Willcox of the his-! tory department. Elizabeth Hawley, '44, was in charge of arrangements. The Rev. Hughes, who was a prom- inent pastor in Wales, was vacation- ing in Canada when the war broke out, and he was unable to return so accepted his present pastorate in Detroit. He has held pastorates in England, and is a personal friend of Sir Staf- in TISH-U LTEX* Ti itev. iughes has also hei d positions as governor of the Uni- versity of Wales, governor of the Na- tional Libl.rary of Wales, chairman of the District Council of the County College of Agriculture, and was twice nominated for the legislature. The panel is expected to discuss the probable future of Britain's col- onies, and what their status would be under an international governing organization.

There is no admission charge. I (Editor's Note: The following is the fifth in a series of articles portraying the thoughts and feelings that are dominant in Latin-American countries today.) By CLAIRE SHERMAN "Since Argentina is now the only neutral country in the Western Hemisphere, it is interesting to con- sider some of the facts that have influenced this position," Jorge Sim- onelli, Spec., of Buenos Aires, said yesterday. "The Argentinian government of today claims to be neither pro- Nazi nor pro-Allied, but pro-Argen- tina," Simonelli said, "and keeps the position of isolationism which in fact was the same that kept England and France from open war for a long time." "The people of Argentina are, flowever, definitely pro-Allied," Sim- onelli pointed out. When the Nazi were reported to be active against the security' of our country, he explained, the Chamber of Deputies; represent- ing the majority of the voting pop- ulation, voted twice to break rela- tions with the Axis on this account. There is, however, a small group, called Nationalists, he said, which is trying to keep the country neutral at any cost, in order not to aid Brit- ish imperialism which still holds the Falckland Islands. They are also against American imperialism which was once a reality in America; the German imperialism still being a theory for them, he said. ' Nevertheless, there are questions that are bothering Argentinians, Simonelli said. For instance, many people wonder how long the Good Will Policy will last, and how long the United States is going to keep Exhibition Held By Architects An exhibition of professional and student work in the Willow Run area, showing the progression from regional planning to city planning, housing and the unit house is now on display in the third floor exhibi- tion room of the architecture school. "The planning is an attempt to imitate social, community, educa- tional and religious values," Prof. George B. Brigham said. The material presented includes photographs, drawings, models and cost data. The display is divided into four sections. One of the dis- plays shows the plans developed by the Housing Associate of Ann Arbor on a Willow Run site for the Federal- Public Housing Authority. This project was stopped by vested inter- ests, Prof. Brigham said. DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 2) of the Michigan Union on Wednesday, April 21, at 6:30 p.m. Election of officers.

Despite these and similar uncer- tainties, he said, the Argentinian people trust the United States and the Allies because they understand that the way of life of the Nazis and Japanese could never find footing in Argentina, as opposed to any con- cept of Christianity and civilization. Local Teachers To Hold Panel Education in Bomber Area Will Be Topic The local branch of the American Federation of Teachers will meet at 8 p.m. today in the library of the Unitarian Church to hold a panel discussion of educational problems in the bomber plant area.

Nelson of the University English department, Miss Grace Mink of Lincoln Consolidated Schools, and Dale Hunter of the Wayne County Public Schools. asi trim li A sparkling new Jo* fashion goes to your head this saucy beret flaunts the ttle bow-tie that started on the cover of LIFE and is fast becoming a national femi- oine fad.
