France To Send
Famous Group
'The United States will be on the
receiving end next fall when
France sends her Orchestra Na-
tional on an extensive tour to at
least 26 major U.S. and Canadian
cities including Ann Arbor..
The first European Symphony
to make an American tour since
1920, the Orchestra National, con-
ducted by Charles Munch will
open its schedule with a concert
October 17 in Carnegie Hall, New
York.
Besides the Choral Union spon-
sored Ann Arbor concert, the Or-
'chestra's itinerary will take them
to Boston, Detroit, Chicago, Phil-
adelphia and Quebec, Montreal
-and Toronto in Canada. If pend-
ing negotiations are carried
through, the group will make a
total of 40-50 appearances in their
minimum six-week stay.
Heralded as one of the greatest
European orchestras, the Orches-
'tra National, was picked by Tos-
tanini above all other French
,ymphonies for the concert series
;which he conducted in Paris in
1935, just 18 months after it was
organized under government
~sponsorship,
Dispersed by the war and the
subsequent occupation, the mem-
bers gathered at great personal
risk from all over France at Mar-
seilles in the free zone in Sept.
1941. Following liberation, the Or-
chestra made its permanent home
at Paris Theatre des Champs Ely-
sees.

For Activities
By FREDI WINTERS
Taking its name from groups of
wise men who met centuries ago
to discuss intellectual topics, the
Druids, senior men's honor society,
provides the medium for dissem-
ination of information about new
student activities.
Members are chosen on the
basis of their participation in stu-
dent life, and are generally lead-
ers in their various organizations.
Right now there are 18 mem-

Nation-wide Box Office Slump
Misses Local Movie Theatres
By DON DORRAN'C .
Tlhe much-discussed box-office
slump hasn't hit the Ann Arbor
movie-houses, according to the
managers of the two Campus thea-
tres.
jBoth managers, Gerald Haag of
the Michigan Theatre and Larry
Mull of the State, agreed that
business in Ann Arbor is too much
on an up-and-down basis for na-
tional averages to show. The gen-
eral concensus is that since prices
here are low to start with and be-
ing a university town, with little
manufacturing, special conditions
prevail.
National Slump
The national slump, according
to Mr. Haog, is probably the result
of weather vagaries as much as
any other factor. He pointed out
that this spring has been unusual
in many respects, and bad weather
always means bad box-office re-
ceipts.
The major problem in Ann Ar-
bor, both said, was getting enough
class A pictures. With a limited
population, they pointed out, two
movie-houses are enough to take
care of the demand. However, the
limited population also means that
in order to provide a varied pro-
gram only exceptional motion pic-
tures can be held for a week. As
a. result, they have trouble getting
enough top-ranking pictures.
English Pictures
Both managers stated that they
were willing to buy anything that,
was any good at all. The only ex-
ceptions were certain pictures such
as henry V and other pictures
with a limited appeal. Both houses,
it was pointed out, have shown
several English pictures, and with
a few exceptions, these did not
draw as well as the average Hol-
lywood movie.
The reactions to various pic-
tures fascinates the two managers.
Several pictures, notalbly Good
News, didn't do as well as expect-
ed, while others, such as The Jol-
son Story, did much better than
was foreseen.
Dissatisfied with Reviews
Both managers were dissatisfied
with the reviewing facilities in
Ann Arbor. They complained that
the average review was trying
more for wise-cracks than an hon-
est judgement.
Business on football afternoons
is usually normal 75% of the time.
Concerts and other University ac-
tivities doesn't bother business if
there is a good picture showing.
The manager of the State Theatre,
Mr. Mull, said that the audience
here was intelligent and would
come to see good pictures. He re-
peated that the major difficulty
was the pictures.
Both managers said that they
liked movies personally, and saw
'them whenever possible.

NEW COLOR PROCESSOR FOR THE LAW-At the Washtenaw County Sheriff's office, the three
men most involved in the development of the ma chine that will speed criminal identification watch
its operation. They are, left to right, inventor, Douglas R. Newton, Lt. Vincent Fox and Sheriff
John R. Osborn.
NEW A ID FOIR SHERIFF:
Local ID Bureau Gets Color Processor
i
The Identification Bureau of the
Washtenaw County Sheriff's De-
partment has taken another first
in the expansion of criminal iden-
tification photography.
Douglas R. Newton, local inven-
tor, has presented the Sheriff's
I. D. Bureau with a fully auto-
matic machine for the processing
of color film called the "Newton
Automatic Direct Color Processor."
The new device, which decreases
the processing time of color film by
500 per cent, will produce 400
eight by ten color prints in eight
hours.
Lt. Vincent Fox of the I. D. Bu-
reau said that the only comparable
equipment is that used by large
photographic companies. Even
these are not fullly automatic, and
cost up to $220,000, as compared
with Newton's machine, which will
sell for about $8,000 when it goes
into production sometime next
summer.
The Sheriff's Department was
one of the first in the country to
use color photography for 'rogue's
gallery" pictures. Color photos of
criminals are much superior to the
black-and-white in that color of
Union activities Explained;
Expanded Facilities Planned
(EDITOR'S NOTE: 'I'his is the second
in a series of a rti'les regarding Union
history, organization, finances and
policies.)
By GEORGE WALKER
Behind every Union dance or
coffee hour, behind each of the
many Union-sponsored activities,
back of every cup of coffee sold in
the Union cafeteria is an immense
and complex organization.
When the men who ran the Un-
ion back in 1917 voluntarily hand-
ed over to the University the deed
to the newly-acquired property,
thus placing their organization
under the control of the Board of
Regents, they set up the many of-
fices and governing boards which
now plan Union activities and de-
termine its policies. And the Un-
ion has just about every conceiva-
ble species of board, office, and
committee.
Top Men
High men on the organizational
totem pole are the nine students
and nine non-students who com-
prise the Board of Directors. This
year the student members are
Gene Sikorovsky, President of the
Union; Al Farnsworth, secretary;
Paul Harrison, ex officio as Chair-
man of Men's Judiciary Council.
and five vice-presidents elected
from the various schools. These
are Tom Walsh, of the literary
college, Howard DeMallie of the
engineering college; Ross Hume,
Medical School; Bill MacRitchie,
Law School; Robert Laidlaw, Den-
tal School, and Chester Kerner,
who represents the combined
schools.
The nine remaining members
represent alumni, faculty, admin-
istration, and the Board of Re-
gents. They are: Erich A. Walter,
ex officio member as Director of
the Office of Student Affairs; Re-
gent Otto Eckert; T. Hawley Tap-
ping, ex officio Alumni Secretary;
Joseph Bursley and John Huss,
alumni; Chester O. Wisler, Finan-
cial Secretary; Carl Brandt, Rob-
ert G. Rodkey, and A. L. Clark,
faculty.
Questions Answered
In answer to the many questions
posed by students concerning Un-
ion profits, the Board of Directors
has issued a financial statement.
Of the $1,252,574 gross income
from sales and services for the last
fiscal year, more than $446,178 was
paid out in wages to 327 student
and 154 non-student employes. In
addition, food cost $459,480, and
$26,011 was paid out for sales
and excise tax.
When the Union was completed
in 1920. architects estimated its
life expectancy at 75 years. This

means that in 1995, students will
still be taking advantage of its
many facilities. But by that time,
the property will have deteriorated
to the extent that one and a half
million dollars will be needed to
replace the present structure.
Mortgage
Whittling down a six figure
mortgage is a slow but steady
process. However, as of July 1,
1947, amortization of the Union
building was cut to $289,000.
Architects are now working on
preliminary plans for an addi-
tion to the Union. This construc-
tion, to be financed by a new bond
issue, is planned to revamp the
cafeteria and kitchen facilities,
constructed in 1917 and outdated
for at least the past ten years. The
size of the ballroom is to be con-
siderably increased. Music ap-
preciation rooms, more meeting
rooms, and additional space for
the student offices and their ac-
tivities will occupy the second and
third floors of the new wing.
There will be additional lobby,j
kitchen, and dining room space on
the first floor, and additional
lodgings on the fourth floor.
With present high building
costs, final plans for this addition
have not as yet been drawn.

the skin is accurately reproduced,
aiding immensely in identifica-
tion.
Newton donated the machine to
the Sheriff's Department in re-
turn for the use of their labora-
tory facilities during the experi-
mental stages of the development
of the new inventions.
Newton, a 25-year-old veteran,
was assigned as a photographic
specialist during the war. His ma-
chine is the result of two years of
study and work. He was assisted
by Lt. Fox who conducted the tests
during the experimental stage.

the -rifle of the police, and many
were struck by the rifle butts and
barrels which the police used to
drive them along.
"But," he said, "to te" of
my knowledge, only one shot was
fired, and although I havemade
every effort to trace down the ru-
mors that students were killed, I
have not been able to discover that
more than one boy was shot, his
injury received in the foot."
Smith described the parade as
one to inform the President that
the students of Prague wanted a
retention of the Parliamentary
form of government and that they
wanted information concerning
students who had been arrested
and the charges against them.
Originally it was reported that
"all reactionary elements who do
not have a positive attitude toward
the new government" would be
expelled from the universities and
high schools by the action commit-
tees, Smith said. This was later
amended, he reported, to permit
the same expulsions under the
provisions of a scarcely enforced
law of 1945, "which set forth that
former collaborators would be
barred from the universities."
Smith said that this rule has
been made to apply to any opposi-
tion to the new regime.

Inactive in War
The Druids, founded on this
campus in 1910, were inactive dur-
ing the war. The society was re-
organized last December with
Warren Bovee as president, and
Peter Ostafin, of the sociology de-
partment, as adviser.
Because of the number of ac-
tivities represented in its member-
ship, the Druids serve as a sound-
ing board for student opinion.
New ideas are discussed and then
carried back to the different or-
ganizations.
Before the war, the Druids
worked for freshman week and
kept up interest in college tradi-
tion and ritual. In addition, the
society sponsored lectures on an-
tional and political topics. Among
its many distinguished alumni is
Supreme Court Justice Frank
Murphy, former governor of Mich-
igan.
Fresh Air Camp
This year the Druids plan to
aid the Fresh Air Camp at Pat-
terson Lake. Also on the agenda
is a stag weekend to be held some-
time in the spring.
Tapping takes place yearly in
May. Some of the ritual connected
with initiation is held at Druids
Rock in front of Angell Hall. Each
initiate is given the name of a
tree, and the day before initiation
is marked on the forehead.
Soon to be seen on campus are
IDruid hats, which will be worn
by members. They will be the sen-
sation of the campus, according
to Bovee. The society's emblem is
a snake and sickle.
Visual Aid Use
To Be Outlined
'Ihe use of visual aids in mer-
chandising will be stressed in the
full day session of students of
marketing in the Business Admin-
istration school beingconducted
beginning at 9 a.m., today, Kel-
logg Auditorium.
The program is presented by the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. un-
der the arrangements of Prof. D.
M. Phelps.
Students will have an opportun-
ity to analyze the visual merchan-
dising educational program being
carried on by the company to train
its dealers.
Motion pictures and slide films,
lectures, charts and other materials
used by the company will be pre-
sented in the same manner that
it is presented to dealers in meet-
ings held throughout the country.
