COOK LECTURES:
Dr. Ralph Perry To Talk
On American Institutions


Dr. Ralph Barton Perry, pro-
fessor emeritus of philosophy at
Harvard University, will deliver
the fifth series of William W. Cook
Lectures on American Institutions
from Monday, Nov. 29, through
John Mason
Brown Speaks
Here Friday
Seeing things is John Mason
Brown's specialty.
This fact will be borne out Fri-
day evening when he will present
his running commentary on the
art and theatre world at 8:30 p.m.
in Hill Auditorium.
BROWN HAS been interested in
the theatre ever since he was
"King Lear" at the age of nine.
Even though his father and grand-
father were Yale men, Brown de-
fied family tradition all for the
sake of the stage.
He went instead to Harvard,
worked in the drama workshop,
and after graduating cum laude,
became drama critic of the The-'
atre Arts Monthly.
Later on, he held drama posts
on the New York Evening Post and
the New York World Telegram.
DURING the war, he was in the
Navy and served in the Sicilian
and Normandy invasions.
When the war ended, Brown
became an associate editor of the
Saturday Review of Literature.
In his weekly column "Seeing
Things" Brown dissects the cul-;
tural activities of the day.
Tickets for the lecture will go+
on sale Thursday, at the Hill audi-1
torium box office.t

Friday, Dec. 3 in the Rackham
Building.
TheCook lectures are made pos-
sible through an endowment es-
tablished by the late William W.
Cook, a distinguished member of
the New York bar and an alum-
nus of the University. This year
five lectures will be given on the
subject "Characteristically Amer-
ican."

on "Freedom and Responsibility
in the American Way of Life."

sor of jurisprudence atPrinceton
University, delivered the second
series in March, 1946 on "Total
War and the Constitution."

nomics at Columbia University,
who spoke on "Alternatives to
Serfdom." Late in April of this
year, Arthur T. Vanderbilt, chief
justice of the New Jersey Supreme
Court, gave the fourth series on
the subject "Men and Measures in
the Law."

Issues Call for
Stagye Crew
Is there a carpenter in the
house?
If there is, you're wanted on
stage. And the stage is the set
for the Gilbert and Sullivan So-
ciety's upcoming production,
"Yeomen of the Guard."
ARMED WITH hammers, saws,
and paint brushes, the under-.
manned stage committee will at-
tack the tough problem of creat-
an authentic medieval setting on
a modern stage as designed by
Felix Reiss.
When they're done, the stage
will be transformed into' a rep-
lica of the Tower of London, and
its surrounding buildings, com-
plete with the block, where the
fearful Headsman carries on his
gruesome trade.
Included also will be the authen-
tic gloomy interiors of the Tower,
where Colonel Fairfax, Elsie, Jack
Point, and the whole crew of Gil-
bert and Sullivan characters carry
on their merry antics.
But additional handymen with
the hammer and saw are needed
to create this medieval master-
piece in Ann Arbor, so the Society
has asked all those interested to
come to the Ann Arbor Armory,
Fifth and Ann streets, at 8 p.m.
tomorrow to begin building the set.

Iunitz Talks
On Soviet Life
"While Communism is prohib-
itive to a limited degree in the
Russian literature of today, writ-
ers are still mirroring the thoughts
and attitudes of the people to-
ward their government," Dr. Josh-
ua Kunitz said yesterday afternoon
in Kellogg Auditorium.
Speaking on "Russian Litera-
ture: A Reflection of Russian
Life," Dr. Kunitz, noted authority
on Russian literature and culture,
cautioned his audience against
relying too much on writers as
perfect reflections of a country's
culture.
"Modern Russian poetry written
by veterans of World War II is
filled with the great faith and
warmth of men who have fought
for an ideal," Dr. Kunitz said.

JOHN STEINHAUSER of the
Law Club bought amannequin and
one evening, when his roommate,
Jim Mortell, was on a binge, he
lodged the figure in the most ap-
propriate place he could find.
Mortell returned home, rather
gay but still considerate enough
not to turn the light on while
he got ready for bed. Then crawled
under the covers-they say he's
still suffering from shock.
Since then, "the woman" has
made the rounds of the rooms on
the floor, startling many a stu-
dent who unexpectedly opens a
door to find "her" draped provo-
catively about his room, clothed
in fractions of complete sets of
clothes.
And "she" frequently appears at
the men's windows to tease some
passing University official into
believing there's something wrong.

Few Ducats
Remain for
Pinza Fans
Basso Will Sing
Hlere Tomorrow
Tickets are still available in
limited numbers for operatic star
Ezio Pinza's concert at 8:30 p.m.
tomorrow in Hill Auditorium.
Though most single tickets for
the basso's concert have been sold,
several are available in each price
group to the many Pinza fans in
and about Ann Arbor.
PINZA, acclaimed as one of the
greatest singers in the world, to-
day, will present local concert-
goers a varied program including
several songs and operatic pieces
in his native Italian, as well as
a group of contemporary American
works.
At home with almost any kind
of music, the great basso has
been part of the backbone of
the Metropolitan Opera since
he came to this country in 1926
after six years' service it the
Italian army in the first World
War.
TO YOUTH in the United States,
Pinza's sparkling personality has
been almost as great a drawing-
card as his voice.
Of Pinza, a noted New York
critic has said, "he is one of the
artistic pillars of the Met, whose
vocal ability and personal mag-
netism have playedavital part
in the success of many perform-
ances.
Tickets for his performance here
tomorrow are available at Univer-
sity Musical Society offices in Bur-
ton Tower, and will be on sale in
the Hill box office at 7 p.m. the

House To Release
Auto Testimony
WASHINGTON --(P)--A House
investigating committee an-
nounced tonight that evidence of
"exorbitant" profits reaped by
some automobile dealers is being
turned over to the Justice Depart-
ment and other law enforcement
agencies.
Chairman Macy (Rep., N.Y.),
head of a special House group
making the investigation, said in
a statement that "appropriate fed-
eral and local authorities" should
determine "whether any violation

of law has been uncovered."
A question frequently put to
auto trade men during the hear-
ings was whether they reported
bonus payments on income tax re-
turns.
Macy's statement came at the
end of two days of hearings.

A Michigan Department of
Health mobile X-ray unit has
moved into Washtenaw County to
begin an extensive tuberculosis
survey.

trained technicians and nurses and
a portable X-ray machine, the unit

ers and other staff members had
chest X-rays taken yesterday.
ALTHOUGH most University

the mobile unit's scheduled stops,
according to Mrs. Evelyn Prosser,
chief clerk of the County Health
Department.
The survey, taken every two
years, is expected to check more
