'PROJECT X'
Light and Logical' Will Help
'Heifers for Europe' Drive
By ROMA LIPSKY
Half a dozen singers have found
a "light and logical" way to gather
f Ids for "Project X"--the Wes-
leyan Guild's drive to support
Heifers-for-Europe, student schol-
arships, CARE packages for Euro-
peans and other campaigns.

~Iron Curtai'
Film Receives
Split Opinion
"The Iron Curtain," presently
showing in Ann Arbor, is the cen-
ter of some controversial discus-
sion.
John Schoener, '50L,, president
of the Young Republicans Club,
belieyes that after the several
Left-Wing movies the Commu-
nists have sponsored, it is refresh-
ing to find a picture pointed in
the opposite direction.
He thought that the literature
distributed by the Communists
attacking the film was ineffec-
tive. "The handbills do little more
than clutter up the campus," he
said.
Bill Carter, '50A, president of
the Ralph Neafus Club, believes
that in view of the present anti-
Russian hysteria, "The Iron Cur-
tain" is definitely a warmonger-
ing picture.
"Hollywood' producers are be-
ginning a series of anti-Russian
pictures in order to appease the
Un-American Activities Commit-
tee, who recently exposed the pro-
ducers," he said.
Carter said that even though
several of the events in the pic-
"tre are distorted and exaggerat-
ed, it will not do any harm for
people to see it, but it will be
harmful if they swallow all its
contents. "People, especially .tu -
dents, should do their own inves-
tigating," he said.
One person who gets all the
views and opinions of the day is
the ticket taker at the State
Theatre. Although people are
finding the picture interesting and
entertaining, it is not causing any
great flurry of thought-they are
quite calmly taking it in their
stride, he stated. When asked
about anti-picture literature, he
said, "I know from experience
that picketing and handbills only
heighten interest, and thus boost
our business."

Connivance
The plot concerns a wealthy old
Duchess conniving to keep her
singing maid in her employment.
To carry out her plan, the
Duchess schemes to arrange a
marriage between the maid and
another employee, Sinon the logi-
cian.
Complications set in, however,
because Laura, the maid is in
love with the lamplighter Phillip.
Phillip proves to be a true hero,
and untwits the plot strands in
a way to bring happiness to every-
one concerned.

ical" are Beatrice Patton as Laura
and Jim Craven as Phillip. Other

Drive for Soap
Bubbles Along
Ann Arbor's own campaign to
collect soap for the children of
war-scarred Europe has brought
in more than 500 bars to date, ac-
cording to Mrs. N. W. Stetson, or-
ganizer of the drive.
But soap - lots of it - is still
needed if the 1000-bar quota is to
be reached before June 1, she said.
Bars or boxes of soap may be
left at Pierce House, 611 Church
Street. Monetary donations may
be sent to Mrs. Stetson, 1809 Char-
leton Street.
The soap drive was sparked by
Mary Ellen Lewis, Ann Arbor High
School teacher, after returning
from a recent trip to Europe
where she had ample opportunity
to observe the effects of depriva-
tion on the children there.

cials.
The Michigan Liquor Control

more days of suspension added to
the present 90 days.

Association has chosen Dr. James
B. Griffin, director of the Michi-
gan Museum of Anthropology as
president of its Central States
Branch for the 1948-49 term.
Dr. Leslie A. White, chairman of

fin studied the relation of Mexi-
can to North American cultural.
Dr. White is a consultant in
ethnology in the Museum of An-
thropology. During a recent leave
of absence he was a visiting pro-
fessor at Yale University, conduct-
ing there a graduate seminar in
