THE MICHIGAN DAILY A PAGE THI H GA ~ i _ _ ..___.__ AIW w , . Hit Predicted For Students' New Coniedy The promoters of "Froggy Bot- tom" think they have found an- other hit. This time it's "Boy Meets Girl," the comedy being presented by the University Student Players, Friday, May 13 and Sunday, May 15 at the Masonic Temple. Bill Zerman, who was publicity director for the first post-war Un- ion opera, has picked ten of the top promotion men for "Froggy Bottom" to help him publicize "Boy Meets Girl." SOME OF THE TOP talent on campus has been tapped to bring the former Broadway success to Ann'Arbor,according to Zerman. Bunny Bromwell, who played a leading role last year in the Student Players' production of "The Voice of the Turtle" acts the part of an insipid blonde waitress. 'Red' Corbett and Aram Nahob- edian, who played the roles of Nick and the drunk in "Time of Your Life," portrays two zany Hollywood writers who build' a movie around 'Happy,' the wait- ress' illegitimate baby. * * * DAN DWORSKY, who plays a romantic lead, is proving himself as adept in a torrid love scene as he is with a football, says Zer- man. Most experienced member of the cast is Jan Bout, who ap- peared with some of the leading actors in Holland before he came to the University. Proceeds of the play will go to the University Fresh Air Camp. Steere Elected Norm Steere, '50E, was elected president of Sigma Rho Tau, en- gineering speech society, for the coming year. Also elected were: vice-presi- dents, Bob Skulstad, '49E, Carl Hanson, '50E; treasurer, George Pfaffman, '51E; secretaries, Jim Nyberg, '52E, Howard Luckey, '52E, Keith Conway, '51E; ambas- sador, Tom Ramage, '50SpecE. Local Lady Campaigns For Center Consults Lansing Representatives The battle to save the Veterans' Readjustment Center from, a fi- nancial death July 1 has stimu- lated a local citizen to campaign personally on the patients' be- half. Mrs. Oscar Agre of Ann Arbor, has spent most of the last two days speaking with Lansing rep- resentatives as "an interested ob- server of the Center's fight," she explained. * m * "I FEEL IT IS A pity that the patients are compelled to fight their own battle. As an individual I think I have a voice and a re- sponsibility in the matter," she said. A religious and social welfare worker for many years, Mrs. Agre noted she was "encouraged by my reception at Lansing." "The general impression I re- ceived was that sentiment there highly favors continued clinic op- erations. Legislators agreed a pro- gram should be put in effect, but they were divided in answer to the question of who should administer the Center." * * * SHE REPORTED most repre- sentatives feel the Veterans Trust Fund, instead of the state, should maintain the clinic. From her own observations she declared, "Anything in the realm of mental health involves high costs. The Center is necessary as part of the current national re- habilitation program." Meanwhile the Ann Arbor Vet- eran's Council, the local American Legion Post, townspeople and pa- tients at the Center have pledged to do everything possible to con- tinue operation of the Center.

Ford Strike Still Threatens As Recess Halts Aritration DETROIT - :+&Pb-Final peace talks aimed at lieading off a strike of 65,000 Ford workers were recessed late today. Ford and CIO-United Auto Workers leaders agreed after a three-hour conference to meet again at 8 p.m. (CDT). A strike which would idle all 106,000 production workers was only 16 hours away from the scheduled resumption of negotia- tions. A ROUGE PLANT strike would directly affect 65.000 workers but since it manufactures many parts vital to operations in 48 other plantstacross the nation, the com- pany said its other factories would be forced to close in two weeks or less. John S. Bugas, Ford vice pres- ident in charge of industrial re- lations, headed the company ne- gotiators at the eleventh-hour conference. Secretary-treasurer Emil Mazey led the uyion dele- gation. UAW President Walter Reuther did not attend despite Bugas' in- vitation. AS THE TALKS opened the UAW held fast to Reuther's charges of company -"double deal- ing, bad faith and speed-up in violation of contract." Bugas, denying any quicken- ing of the assembly line pace, said he was not accusing Reu- ther of bad faith. But he said he was concluding from "intemperate, irresponsible, baseless" union charges that it was "determined to call a strike without reference to the facts." ALMOST LOST by the unex- pected and bigger Rouge plant de- velopments was a scheduled walk- out of 3,500 workers at Ford's Lin- coln-Mercury plant here. That also is set for tomorrow noon and stems from a similar speed-up dis- pute. Misnomer JACKSONVILLE - Zoologists point out that the "walking stick" is not a stick at all, but an in- sect that hides in the bushes dur- ing the day and creeps around at night nibbling leaves. -Daily-Carlisle Marshall TECHNIC'S TOP EDITORS--New senior editors cf the Michigan Technic look over a copy of the engineering school's magazine, Left to right t. ey are: Harvey Schatz, '50E, managing editor; Robert Giglio, '50BAd, business manager; Lex Hlerrin, '50E, editor-in-chief; Dick Humes, '51E, associate editor.

Two-Step Endangered By Revived Gree~ Dance Against Plato NEW YORK-Babies come into the world without ideas of right or wrong. They acquire their so- cial behavior patterns from their home and school environments. Modern dancing's two-step clutch may soon give way to a revival of the Daphnephoric Bound. Once the craze of all Classic Greece, this ancient step will re- ceive its initial Ann Arbor per- formance in the Gilbert and Sul- livan Society's production of "Pa- tience," May 12, 13 and 14 at Pat- tengill Auditorium. * * * THE DANCE, which in the time of Pericles was considered the a i s +L l i MOTHER'S DAY .

These statistics are part of the Annual Study of Teacher Supply, Demand and Placement sponsored by the University Bureau of Ap- pointments in cooperation with all other Teacher Placement Bu- reaus and Public School Adminis- trators in Michigan. ACCORDING to the study, fields n which teacher supply and de- mand approach a balance are spe- cial education, English, Latin, nathematics, industrial arts and nusic. Besides elementary education, there is an under-supply of teachers in general science, agri- culture, home economics, com- mercial studies and library sci- ence, the study continues. Statistics show that prospective ocial science speech, journalism, Romance languages, art and physi- cal education teachers will find heir fields oversupplied with in- tructors. MANY STATE Board Special Certificates are offered in Michi- gan to individuals who do not meet teaching requirements but re needed to fill positions. Salaries offered to beginning eachers range from $2,400 to $3,- 00 per year. peak of aesthetic achievement- the lawmaker himself was said to have been desperately in love with a Daphnophoric Bounder--will be performed by 20 rapturous maid- ens at the operetta's presentation. Accompanying themselves on archaic lutes, pipes and cym- bals, the maidens will attempt to demonstrate the intricacies of classic dancing. Too rapid spread of the Bound has been warned against by Jimmie Lorbaugh, star of the Un- ion Opera and choreographer of the operetta, who points out that the step is part of a symbolic love dance, the potency of which may have weird effects upon mod- ern civilization. * ** TICKETS for "Patience" may be purchased Monday through Fri- day from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Administra- tion Building. Aid Asked by Chinese Here One hundred Chinese students at the University have applied for aid from the State Department under the terms of a $500,000 Economic Cooperation Adminis- tration allottment, according to Esson M. Gale, foreign student counselor. The grant is designed to help students in scientific and techno- logical fields who are unable to obtain funds from China. ECA has diverted the sum from its original purpose which was phys- ical rehabilitation of China. Chinese students in non-tech- nological fields are currently re- ceiving aid from private dona- tions. Dr. Gale said that the In- ternational Center is the clearing- house for all contributions. Chairman Named Miss Agnes E. Well, acting dean of women from December, 1917 through June, 1918, has been named chairman of the National Women's Party. The Women's Party is currently campaigning for passage of the "equal rights for women" amend- ment to the U.S. Constitution.
