WALL BUT MIGHTY:
Microfilm Firm Owner
Clains It's BigBusiness
4-

,..1



There's .a big business in mak-
ing tiny $lms and prints.
According to Eugene B. Powers,
owner of:Ann Arbor's unique Uni-
versity Microfilms, preservation
and distribution of all kinds of
papers and documents on a mass-
production scale has been made
possible only recently through mi-
crofilming techniques.
TIlE FIUM, which is the only
one of its kind in the country, was
the pioneer in the development of
Cubist Reflects
Ivory Tower'
Theory- --Hope
Imaginative Painting
Originated by Braque
The work of Georges Braque,
contemporary French cubist, re-
flects his strict adherence to an
"ivory tower" philosophy, accord-
ing to Henry Hope, who lectured
yesterday on the artist's develop-
mea~t.
Braque, who is extremely con-
servative politically, was responsi-
ble, along with Pablo Picasso, for
the revolutionary cubist 'shool of
painting, said Hope. "Nevertheless;,
the idea of cubism came to them
independently around 1908," he
added.
ACCORIlNG TO Hope, there is
little basis for the receft .ontro-
versy among art critics on the rel-
ative xiierito of, the works of. Pi-
casso and Braque. In his opinion,
Picasso is ,a genius, while Braque
is simply a very skillful artist.
Hope said that there was a
very close friendship between
the two men during the years
froil 1908 to 1914. But, he' ex-
plained, their, relationshi# has
become estranged in recent
years because of extreme pojiti-
cal differences.
"It is true that Braque was in-
fluenced by Picasso in nost phases
of his development," Hope admit-
ted. But the now frequently ;prac-
ticed technqiue of- painting from
imagination as originated by
Braque, . hsa...

microscopic replicas of documents
which could be stored permanetly
in archives at great savings in cost
and space.
The process, perfected in 1935,
is based on the usual techniques
of photographing subjects. But
in microfilming, the negative
and print of a full page news-
paper page is reduced to a tiny
replica measuring only an inch
wide and an inch and a half
long.
So if you want to read an 1850
edition of the New York Times,
merely get the microfilm roll for
that year, put it in the special pro-
jector and turn the crank to
change the image.
IF YOU WANT to do research
in recent doctorate dissertations,
you can get out the microfilm roll,
too. Formerly, doctorate candi-
dates were required to publish
their papers privately-a rather
expensive proposition.
Now, the graduate school ac-
cepts microfilming of papers as
a substitute. With microfilm as
cheap as three cents an image,
hard-pressed graduate students
now save up to $100 over the
old method.
During the war, Powers' organi-
zation was commissioned to make
microfilms of the valuable British
archives threatened by the blitz.
AS AN AID to the now fabulous
OSS (Office of Strategic Services),
it made a vital contribution to the
war effort.
But Powers' pet project is re-
mote from waging war. Termed
Project Books, Inc., it is a non-
profit organization devoted to
relieving the bedridden from
boredom through reading.
Through the use of a projector
newly developed by Powers and
Ann Arbor 'photography manufac-
turer Robert D. Howse, micro-
filmed books and magazines are
projected onto the ceiling above
the sick person's bed. He can read
anything he wants from Super-
man to Shelley, and he can do it
himself, because projected books
require no more than a push-but-
ton to operate.
Powers likes to emphasize this
part of the new microfilming in-
dustry. He points out that there
is not only a big business in mak-
ing microfilms-there's a big serv-
ice, too.

Players Call for
Glamazons wanted, for "Boy
Meets Girl."
This is the plea of the Univer-
sity Student Players, who will pre-
sent Sam and Bella Spewack's 3
comedy May 13 and 15 in the
Masonic Auditorium. .
In their last workout, "The
Time of Your Life," they wanted
exploding pinball machines; this
time it's girls.
The players want a small regi-
ment of tall girls not afraid to
,wear bathing suits-enough to'
string across the stage. No acting
or musical ability is required for
the role, but you must be a girl,
and more than five feet six inches,
tall, says publicity chairman, Burt4
Sapowitch, '51.
"Frankly, I don't believe there>
are any good looking girls on this
campus, but we'd still like to find
some," quipped Director Mike :
Cetta, '49.
In spite of Cetta's pessimism, t
the rest of the cast looks forward
to a mob of tall femininity, re-
ports Sapowitch.
Concerning two script writers1
who might be called illegitimate
godfathers, the satire on Holly-
wood "Boy Meets Girl" was a
Broadway hit in 1935-36. The book
for the current hit "Kiss ie Kate" }
was penned by the same authors. ;
Original music for the Student ffl
Players production has been com-
posed by Jim Doolittle, '5OSM.

Club Hears
Arguments
Of Finalists
Finalists in the annual Case
Club contests will argue a hypo-
thetical legal question at 3 p.m.
tomorrow in Rm. 100 Hutchins
Hall.
Judges for the final elimina-
tions are to hear two teams of
student lawyers present opposing
viewpoints on a Michigan income
tax law that has been especially
prepared by professors in the Law
School.
* * *
GOV. G. MENNEN WILLIAMS,
who was originally scheduled to
judge the winning team, will not
be able to attend.
Judge Frank A. Picard, of the
United States District Court in
Detroit; Justice Leland W. Carr,
of the Michigan Supreme Court;
and the Dean of the Law School,
E. Blythe Stason, will make up
the group that is to determine
the winning team.
The Case Clubs, voluntary stu-
dent organizations, hold an an-
nual elimination contest during
which prospective lawyers team up
to argue cases according to actual
courtroom technique.
AFTER A LONG series of elim-
inations held during the year,
Gordon Boozer, '50L, Bernard
Trott, '49L, John Elam, '49L, and
William Pierce remain the final
competitors for the award that
will be presented by Justice Carr
at a banquet to be held tomorrow
night at the Union.
At this time, Justice Carr will
speak after awarding the
winners prizes donated by the
Henry M. Campbell endowment.
Members of all three classes in
the Law School have participated
in the practice trials, separate
winners having already been an-
nounced for the freshman Case
Club contests. The final argu-
ments are open to the public.
