A former Army mess of- ficer felt that the cooking of the food is "terrible," as is the quan- tity and quality. "In a place connected with a college," the former officer said, "cleanliness should be paramount. In other words, clean the place up and let's have better service." Members of the committee who assisted Klein in distributing the forms, in tabulating the returns and in interpreting the results were Robert Amos, James Rhea, Richard Eichbauer, Charles Dray- ton, Gayle Thompson, Virginia Myerson, Carroll Barber, Arthur Vogel, John Berk and Al Levinson.

The play will be presented by the speech department's play pro- duction classes at 8:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. "We had been planning to pro- duce 'Saint Joan' for a long time," Prof. Halstead said, ex- plaining that he was reminded of "Joan" while attempting to cut Shakespeare's "Henry VI" to "act- able length" and came across the character of the French Saint. Reinterprets Character r "Shaw does much more than merely present dramatic incidents in Joan's life," Prof. Halstead said. "He attempts a complete reinterpretation of her character taking a middle road in regard to previous character dramatiza- tions of her life." Writers, such as Shakespeare, supported the idea that Joan was actually a witch and hinted at scandals in their interpretations, Prof. Halstead said. Other writ- ers, Schiller and Mark Twain for example, accepted Joan uncondi- tionally as a saint and painted her as such. Careful Research Shaw, who did much careful re- search before he wrote his drama, found evidence in the records of the trials that although Joan may have been perfectly sincere, the trials were completely fair and Joan, through her persistent re- fusals to recant, left the Church officials with no choice except ex- communication, Prof. Halstead said. "Shaw presents Joan as the pure saint, but the priests are also treated sympathetically," he de- clared. Conflicts and Struggles "Great admiration is shown for Joan in the play, but Shaw's in- tellectual mind was concerned not only with dramatizing her life but with presenting the conflict be- tween the Catholics and Protest- ants and the struggle between feudalism and nationalism in the middle ages," Prof Halstead con- cluded. Tickets for all performances of the production are on sale at the theatre box-office. Direct ancestors of the "moun- tain shrimp" in Australian streams can be traced back millions of years.

At no time in ancient Roman Egypt was there anything corres- ponding to serfdom as it existed in WesternEurope, Prof. Allan Ches- ter Johnson said yesterday in the fourth talk of the Jerome lecture series. The Egyptian peasant had a feudal relation to the overlord un- der the Pharaohs, and a semi- feudal one under the Ptolemys, Prof. Johnson said. In the Roman period the peasant preferred to stay on the land as long as he had any to cultivate, but was not required by law to do so. Not Developed In the fourth century the large estate had not yet developed in Egypt, and ancient papyri give us no information about serfdom in the fourth and fifth centuries. One document, a reply of peasants to a "patron" who tried to take a whole village under his wing, is "certainly not in the tone of serfs to their master," Prof. Johnson said. In the sixth century there were two types of "coloni" or cultivat- ors -of the soil, Prof. Johnson ex- plained. Some peasants were bound to the soil, their property belonged to their master and they never became free. The other type wasaalsounder obligation to cultivate the soil, but their property was their own and they For Real Dancing Enjoyment The Melody Men Orchestra Phil Savage Evenings 25-8484 TYPEW RITERS '~1 JE ROME LECTURE: European Brand of Serfdom Unknown to Roman Egypt AUTHORIZED SALES & SERVICE RIDER'S 115 West Liberty Phone 8950 1. became free in 30 years. Neither of these types, Prof. Johnson said, had anything in common with the serf in Western Europe. The Jerome lecture series will continue tomorrow with a talk on "Taxation in the Byzantine Per- iod," and be concluded Thursday with a lecture on "Byzantine Ad- ministration."
