Tydiugs Asks- Rapid World Disarmam'e-nt Declares UNO Will Fail If World Keeps Arms By The Associated Press ASHINGTON, Jan. 28 - Senator Tydings (Dem.-Md.) called on Presi- dent Truman today to issue an im- mediate call for a world disarma- ment conference. "In this state of a world armed to the teeth," he told the Senate, "we cannot further rely on the United Nations Organization for our own protection." Fearful Of War "It is as plain as the nose on one's face," Tydings said, "that the great armed forces of our own country are DETROIT, Jan. 28-(P)-In a plea for universal military training, General Jonathan M. Wainwright declared today he is "beginning to see those symptoms of apathy and disinterest which have appeared at the end of every war we have fought." Speaking to members of the De- troit Economic Club, the hero of Bataan and Corregidor warned, "when those symptoms appear, dis- integration of the armed forces in- variably follows." He explained that the only allot- ment to universal military training would be maintenance of a large standing army which would be not only costly but also repugnant to the American people. being maintained principally for pos- sible use against Russia, Britain, France o'r China, since Germany and Japan are to be kept disarmed. "Is it not plain, too, that Russia is maintaining her armed forces for possible vusei"against Britain or the United States or France or China?" Blames UNO Tydings said the UNO's treatment of the atomic bomb situation is feeble, fumbling and ineffectual." He added that it helped convince him that the world organization is not "equipped to initiate successfully" a task of the magnitude of disarmament. Tobaggon Ride Injures Three L , ___ _ 'k I Explanations of various. passages of the proposal will be made by Wayne Saari, chairman of the Pub- lic Affairs Committee of the Student Religious Association, Sanford Perlis, president of the Union, a representa- tive of the Michigan League and others who helped draw up the new plan for student government. They will, present a final reading of the corrected constitution, complete with changes suggested by the Student Affairs Committee. They will discuss election plans and putting the con- stitution into effect and in addition will aswer questions about the amendments and other provisions.I Important Change One major change provides that "The Council may call in as advisors the Dean of Students and the Dean of Women to serve in an ex-officio capacity at Council meetings" in place of "The Council shall call in as ad- visor that member of the Administra- tion most intimately connected with student activities (to) serve in an ex- officio capacity at all Council meet- ings." The constitution also provides for a Forum of representatives of every recognized student organization on campus to serve in an advisory ca- pacity to the Council; that all cam- pus elections shall be supervised by the Council; and that Council meet- ings shall be held at regular inter- vals and shall be open to the public. Two Months Work The constitution was drawn up af- ter two months of extensive consulta- tion with University officials, heads of existing student organizations, and other representative schools and or- ganizations interested in promoting student government. "Everyone is urged to attend this week's Town Hall meeting," said Wayne Saari. "It is necessary to un- derstand the provisions of this new plan for student government before it is presented for ratification by the student body next semester."

Those injured in the accident area Jeanne Nuoffer, or Toledo, Emily, Tomell, of Detroit, both student nurses, and Tom Guenther, of De- troit. Guenther broke his left leg in two places and received abrasions, when he attempted to avoid hitting a tree by thrusting out his leg. The tobog- gan, which was traveling at a tre- mendous speed due to the slickness of the hard packed snow, evidently missed the tree, since it was later re- covered undamaged. Jeanne incurred a fractured rib and face lacerations, and Emily sus- tained a knee injury. Fire... (Continued from Page 1) foreign students. The conflagration. which stated at 3:30 p.m., severely damaged the third floor rear of the dwelling. Damage was also caused by the water poured on the blaze. Extensive Repairs Needed The fire was caused by sparks fall- ing on the roof from the chimney of the building. The first floor of the building was kept intact, but exten- sive repairs are needed to put the rest of the house in condition for re-occu- pancy. Damage was estimated at $6,500 by Mr. Shiel. The residence on Oxford Road was only recently vacated by Army stu- dents, and is scheduled to. be used next term as a girls' league house, Dr. Esson M. Gale, counselor to for- eign students, announced. "Luckily this building was avail- able," Dr. Gale commented, "or we would have found ourselves faced with a serious problems as to where to house these 22 students." Meals To Continue Center Events .. . Celebration of "China New Year" at 7:30 p.m. Sunday will highlight the week's.events at the International Center.

Seniors To Sign Class Reoister At Party Friday A large registe, especially designed and made to hold the names of sen- iors attending the class functions of the Class of '46, will be used for the first time when the February grad- uates of the literary college hold their class party from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Fri- day in the Women's Athletic Building. "The party," Patricia Barrett, sen- ior class president, said, "is intended to be a 'get-together' for seniors grad- uating in February, and invitations are being mailed to them." She point- ed out that the program will end at 9 p.m. so that seniors with later dates may keep them. Earlier plans to hold a dance in conjunction with the engineering school did not materialize she said because of the lack of response on the part of the students. Miss Barrett, who is acting as gen- eral chairman for the party, has an- nounced the appointment of the fol- lowing committee chairmen: Refreshments: Carol Steen, Ed Brehm; program: Harriet Pierce, Ar- thur Kraft; prizes: Margaret Cook, Catherine Cook; clean-up: Willard Greenwald and Pat Barrett; invita- tions: Betty Vaughn, Anne Highley; building; Paul John, Jean Athay. Don Westfall is in charge of the register project. U Offers New Greek Course The Greek department will offer next spring term a new, experimental course in the English translation of Greek literature. Entitled "Basic Greek Ideas" (Greek 168), the ecourse will meet Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11 a.m., and will be conducted by Prof. Warren E. Blake, chairman of the Greek department. The course will be open to juniors, seniors and graduate students. The textbook to be used is a direct translation of Aris- totle's original work. Class room dis- cussions will be part of the course. In discussing this innovation, Dr. Blake said, "The study of human re- lationships has developed in modern times into a number of specializedi social sciences, such as sociology, po- litical science and education. The complexities of modern civilization has made these technical subdivisions necessary, but behind them lies a simpler and more unified view of man's relations to society-the far less complicated society of Ancient Greece. It is possible, by careful and direct study of Aristotle's own work in English translation, to get at the roots of many broad theories which constantly reappear in the specula- tions of modern socialnscience." Varsity Delaters Discuss Far East A definite obligation on the part of the United States in promoting de- mocracy in the Far East was seen by members of the Varsity Debating Club at the Sunday program spon- -ored by the International Center. Discussing "Our Stake in the Far East,': debators also concluded that the United States must help prevent other nations from imposing im- perialistic practices on the peoples of the Far East. Participants were Mary Battles, discussing "Colonialism"; Charlotte Wood, on "The Open Door"; Patricia Owens, discussing "The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere"; and Audrey Lawrence, on "Occupation of Japan." Democrats Act For Extension Of OPA Powers WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 - Emerg- ing from a conference with President Truman, Congressional Democratic leaders announced today they will press for speedy action on legislation to prolong rent and price controls for a year beyond the present June 30, 1946, expiration date. Chairman Spence (Dem.-Ky.) im- mediately set House Banking Com- mittee public hearings on the OPA extension bill to begin Tuesday of next week. Rep. Wolcott of Michigan, senior Republican on the Banking Commit- tee, said large numbers of Republi- cans would support a continuation of price control "where needed" but they wans amendments for more pre- cise definitions of OPA's powers. Spence voiced the belief that the bill would :o through "without much trouble." However, the extension measure is bound to meet some vig- orous opposition. Some members just don't like anything about OPA. Film Set Plans To Be Exhibited Designs Sketched for Signal Corps Movies An exhibition of motion picture set designs by Roger Hollenbeck, for- merly with the Army Pictorial Serv- ice, opened yesterday, the School of Architecture and Design announced. Working at the Signal Corps Pho- tographic Center in Astoria, Long Is- land, Mr. Hollenbeck planned and designed sets for documentary, train- ing and morale films. The sketches on display are not to be regarded as finished works, but as guides for sets made for Army-produced films they range fromn a Paris cafe scene to quick sketches of the armed forces. In addition to examples of Mr. Hol- lenbeck's work relating to the war, the architecture school is also dis- playing set's that he planned for vari- ous well-known musicals, thus giving an idea of the work he did for a mo- tion picture studio prior to his serv- ice in the army. French Lecture . . The French lecture which was to have been given by Prof. Warner Patterson of the French * depart- ment at 4:10 today in Alumnae Me- morial Hall has been postponed. The date of the lecture will be an- nounced later. Play Group Will Present Comedy Hit The dream play, "Beggar Oni Horseback," by George Kaufman and' Marc Connelly will be the next offer- ing of Play Production of the Depart- ment of Speech Feb. 7, 8 and 9. The play, a comedy with dream se- quences, was produced on Broadway in the early '20's and since then has been a favorite in stock and on the road. Marries Money The story is about a talented but poor musician, Neil McRae, who con- siders marrying rich Gladys Cady in order to take a rest and study music. He is encouraged in this enterprise by the girl he loves, Cynthia Mason. In his dreams, Neil is confronted with the incongruities of a marriage with Gladys. The bride's wedding bouquet is of bank notes. Her father wears golf knickers to the formal wedding. When Neil plays the piano at the wedding reception the music turns to jazz under his fingers. Mass Production After the marriage, Neil is em- ployed in the Cady "widget" factory where he is paid millions of dollars for doing nothing. In despair he kills the whole Cady family with his pa- per knife and is sentenced to work in the Cady Consolidated Art Factory for life-a factory where masterpieces are made to order on the production line. Neil chooses to die instead but awakens to find Cynthia willing to marry him after all. Munes. . (Continued from Page 1) has become much more accustomed to seeing men in men's roles and women in women's roles, even though during the war the campus experi- enced then oveltyo of women taking men'sp arts. And Play Production, concerned only withs erious theatre, has continuously presented stage fare for the campus, climaxing each sea- son with the weekly series of plays during the summer session. Most of the Universit's theatrical talent is probably now with Play Pro- duction. Maybe there is enough thea- tre already. But for those who like their theatre social rather than seri- ous and who haven't the inclination to spend all their time with the theatre, Mimes might provide an an- swer. And so the men whisper. The Union itself never quite for- got the operas. There is a constant reminder of the past glory of Mimes and the Union opera in the display cases in the north lounge of the Union, where a little card proudly recalls that one Thomas E. 1Dewey was an Irish gentleman in "Top o' the Morning" in 1923. "Top O' the Morning," by tire way, even played the White House for Presi- dent Coolidge. There are other still-remembered titles there:' 'George Did It," "Koan- zaland," "Make It for Two," "Cotton Stockings." And if theree were noth- ing else to hold that memory, when . Michigan men and women get to- gether almost all the school songs they sing are products of the Union operas. Bill Layton's romantic clos- ing theme, "When Night Falls, Dear," comes from the opera "Michigenda." Maybe reviving Mimes would re- vive some of that stuff that alumni nostalgically call school spirit. The operas, that in their day attracted 500 men for the acting and staging of one production, may bring more songs and more gaiety into the Michigan tradition. If you want to do anything about it, you might talk to Henry Horldt of the Union Executive Council. He's heard the whispering too, and he's trying to do something about it. That's why, before the end ofu1946, Mimes and the Union Opera may come back again. MAJ.
