WEDNESDAY, f

Monday Primary Affects
Spring Election Campaign
The Ann Arbor Spring election campaign began taking shape to-
day as a result of the Monday primary.
Two upsets changed the Republican picture; Mark M. Mayne,
was defeated for second ward supervisor and Robert, Ward was de-
feated for alderman of the third ward.
MAYNE IS THE state head of the Michigan Young Republicans
and the incumbent. He was defeated by Carl Hahn, who was backed
by local Legionnaires.
Ward, also an incumbent, was severely beaten by Lawrence
Ouimet in a 245 to 66 vote.
And yesterday, Prof. Arthur W. Bromage, political scientist,
who won the sixth ward Republican nomination for alderman,
announced his plans to wage "an energetic campaign for the April
election."
"Now that the primary is over, I trust we can go forward to suc-
cess in the April election," he said.
THE CITY COUNCIL race shapes up like this:
1st Ward-Peter Ostafin (Dem.); John Mellott (Rep.); Mrs.
Alis M. Sloss (Prog.).
2nd Ward-Clare H. Fenn (Rep.); Kenneth R. Sisson (Dem.);
Mrs. Rhea Kish (Prog.).
3rd Ward-Mrs. John Muyskens (Dem.); Lawrence Ouimet
(Rep.); Benjamin Sleet (Frog.).
4th Ward-Russel H. Howard Sr. (Rep.); Robert Holston
(Prog.); Cornelius J. Ilberg (Dem.).
5th Ward-William J. Saunders (Rep.); George B. Water-
man (Dem.); Bret Miller (Prog.).
6th Ward-Prof. Arthur W. Bromage (Rep.); George Lindner
(Dem.).
7th Ward-Robert A. Lumnbard (Dem.); John S. Dobson
(Rep.); Lester Beberfall (Frog.).
Other officers up for election include the Mayor, City Clerk,
Council President and Municipal Judge.
WILLIAM E. BROWN JR. (Rep.), Leslie A. Wiken (Dem.) and
Prof. John Shepard (Prog.) are running for the mayor's office.
Council President candidates are Cecil O. Creal (Rep.) and
Richard W. Ryan (Dem.).
Francis L. O'Brien, incumbent (Dem.) is unopposed for the job
of municipal judge.

Olivet Student
Calls Campus
View Grim
New College Gives
Hope To Dissatisfied
"We're not living-we're just
existing until the year is over."
This grim view of life in a col-
lege community was expressed by
Lucy Jackson, student at Olivet
College, who visited Ann Arbor
last weekend.
"TILE ONLY TILING which
makes the rest of the year bear-
able is the enthusiasm for a new
ecliege, which members of the fac-
ulty and about 100 students are
planning to start next year."
Miss Jackson, who is a mem-
ber of the committee formulat-
ing plans for the new college,
said that approximately 16 sites
have already been offered, but
that no definite location has
been decided upon yet.
The new college will be formed
by the group of professors and
students who object to the policies
of Olivet College President Au-
brey L. Ashby, who dismissed Prof.
T. Barton Akeley, and five other
faculty members during the course
of his first year as Olivet presi-
dent.
"STUDENTS AT a large college
cannot have any comprehension
of just how far te situation at
Olivet is at present. Since Dr.
Ashby's arrival, the school has
been divided into distinct camps,
with everyone trying to live up to
the sterotype of the group with
which they are identified.
She predicted that only about
100 of the school's 250 students
would return inext fall.

AMPUTEE ON 'PROMISED' VACATION ... Don Beaton (left),
Fargo, N.D., veteran who lost his leg in France stops in Austin,
Minn., on his 3,500 mile vacation which he is taking to fulfill
a war-time promise to nine friends who, like him, were discharged
from the amputee ward of McCloskey Army Hospital in Temple,
Tex. With his wife, Doris (center), Beaton shows one of the ward
buddies, Tom Steensland (right) of Austin, the new artificial
limb he is wearing. Brought from Germany after the war, the limb
uses a suction cup principle and does away with belts and straps
previously needed for amputations above the knee.

Miss Skinner
Will Present
Solo Drama
The lucklessness that has
marked them down in history has
made "The Wives of Henry VIII"
rich fields of cultivation for Cor-
nelia Otis Skinner who will pre-
sent her dramatic sequence at
Hill Auditorium 8:30 p.m. tomor-
row.
Miss Skinner will be the fourth
in a- season of seven speakers
brought to Ann Arbor by the Ora-
torical Series.

tress, Miss Skinner is in her best
theatrical medium - the mono-
logue in portraying dramatic
moments in the lives of each of
the hapless women who were dom-
inated by the infamous monarch.
She will interpret the picto-
rially stunning Catherine of
Aragon; then Anne Boleyn in
the Tower of London. Going
down through the years, she will
play Jane Seymour carrying Ed-
ward VI about in the garden of
Hampton Court, Anne of Cleves
when Henry first sees her and
runs from her in disdain, Kath-
ryn Howard when she is over-
taken with her lover.
Finally she will present a con-
tinuity of all the phases of Hen-
ry's marital life by presenting
Katherine Parr as she sits beside
the dying king and recalls the
confusing skein of his many loves.
* * *
MISS SKINNER'S monolog'ue is
presented not as a recitation but.
create the illusion of conversation.
She will give the performance in
costume supported by background
music. A special stage set has
been constructed for the perform-
ance.

After eating considerable quan-

were given again with an entirely
negative result.
