Perkins Requests Support' For Phoenix Project Parley Campus Calendar Play To Feature Circle Theatre "ONE OF MY main purposes here is to deepen and enrich the Christian faith of students," Mr. Yoder stated. His aims are carried out in Sunday morning Bible' classes, in graduate student work, and in religious courses taught on Tuesday nights. The religious courses cover a four-year period and include a review of the Lutheran cate- chism, teachings of Christian denominations, study of the his- tory of the church, and intro- duction to the books of the Bible. "Another reason why I am here is to develop student leadership by giving them the opportunity to lead," Mr. Yoder continued. As director, he counsels students and helps them with the Sunday eve- ning programs. * e * "ONEk OF MY happy experiences' in Ann Arbor has been the cooper- ation of the faculty," Mr. Yoder commented.

Mr. Yoder is a pleasant, quiet voiced man who is well-liked by the Lutheran students. le is known to his intimate friends as "Hank." For five years before coming to Ann Arbor, Mr. Yoder served a parish in Portland, Ind. HE HAS ACTED as president of the Christian Student Directors and the Ann Arbor Family Serv- ice.

Walter said, "I can tell a great deal about a person by his photograph, such as whether he is a sensitive individual. This information also helps us in mak- ing room assignments." Miss Gowans emphasized that requests for particular room- mates are granted, even where they involve students of mixed religion or race. "If a white student wants to room with a Negro, or a Jew with a Christian, we are happy to fill their requests," Miss Gowans said. * * * (SEVERAL MEN reported to me that they had tried in vain to room with men of a different race, in- cluding an Oriental who wished to room with a Caucasian, and a Caucasian who desired to room with a Negro. (In each instance the student admitted that he could not prove that it was a case of discrimination. There are at present several inter - racial rooming coambinations in the Men's Residence Halls.) Miss Gowans said that some- times the request of two students to room together in a particular house cannot be filled because of the unavailability of a double room. In such a case, it is neces- sary to place the men in separate rooms, she pointed out. * * * THE STUDENT Legislature has recently opened an office in the Union to hear student complaints about possible discriminatory prac- tices in University rooming houses. Peter A. Ostafin, Chief Resi- dent Advisor of the West Quad, said that the system of assign- ing roommates on the basis of religion when they do not make specific requests has been used for a long time, "but without the slightest notion on the part of University officials that some students might regard it as a form of discrimination or segre- gation." "If any student feels hurt as a result of this method, then per- haps it should be changed," he said. "Because we (administrators) are so close to the situation we may sometimes fail to see some- thing that others regard as unde- sirable," _Ostafin admitted. letails of the scope of the Phoe- nix Project at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday n Rackham Lecture Hall.

Theatre-in-the-Rround, known also as arena or circle theatre, is a technique by which the actors perform in a circle formed by the audience. It is an attempt to get away from traditional theatrics by por- traying an event as the audi- ence would see it in real life, ac- cording to Prof. Hugh Norton of the speech department, who is directing the play. * * * intimate story, with a kind of drawing room atmosphere. "The audience should actually feel that they are sitting on the sides of a room, watching true events tak- ing place," Norton commented. The story of "The Winslow Boy" stems from the dismissal of a young student, Ronald Win- slow, from a British naval acad- emy. The boy's father, believing in the youth's denial of guilt, hires an eminent lawyer to investigate the procedure by which the lad was allegedly deprived of his rights as an individual. Taking the role of the boy will be John Waller, '51. Lucille Wal- dorf, '49, and James Lynch, '49, will his mother and father. Ed- mund Johnston will act the part of the lawyer.

The project, under the direc- tion of Prof. Leo Goldberg, head of the astronomy department, and 'financed by the Rackham Fund, is expected to take three years. The new observatory has been built near the University's pres- ent Lamont Hussey Observatory.

The tel- escope had been used there to ex- plore the three-fourths of the Milky Way visible from Mount Wilson.
