THE MICHIGAN DIL" aelian Sculptress Exhibits Art After Fame in New York, Europe By MARY STEIN University students recently made a local talent discovery when they viewed an exhibit of Ellen Bernkopf's sculpture here. New Yorkers and Europeans had made the discovery long before- and so had the people of Palestine. The sculptress is the wife of Dr. Hans Bernkopf of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, now do- ing virus research at the School of Public Health. Mrs. Bernkopi (her "art name" is Ellen Colmar) has exhibited her work since she was a young girl in Germany. WHEN SHE first came to Amer- ica in December, 1947 from Pales- tine, an exhibit of her work had already crossed the Atlantic and was on display in a New York gal- lery. Palestine had been her home since Hitler came to power. Here in Ann Arbor the Bern- kopfs, with their 11-year-old daughter Robin, have found "much peace" after troubled times in Israel. Mrs. Bernkopf has had time to teach sculpturing at a local cer- amic studio, as well as work on ter- racotta figures in her own studio -the kitchen of her Catherine St. home. NOT LONG AGO, she sculp- tured the head of a University stu- dent, Sylvia Clark, '50. The sculp- ture was among her works on view at a recent exhibit in the Rack- ham Building. "It did not take long to finish the head of Sylvia-only about eight sittings," Mrs. Bernkopf said.

Before corning to the United States, Mrs. Bernkopf taught stu- dents in Jerusalem. Before that, she had been a student herself in Germany, France and Italy. SHE LEFT Germany soon after the Nazis took over, lived in Switz- erland and Italy for several years, then came to Palestine, where she met and married Dr. Bernkopf. She described life in Palestine as "full of satisfactions and full of hardships." The old Arab house in Jeru- salem that the Bernkopfs lived in, was sturdy -- (four-foot- thick walls)-but hard to heat. Inconveniences mounted when the Arabs cut off the city's water supply. In the country's constantly- growing settlements (25,000 immi- grants now enter Israel each month), the people are just get- ting back on their feet. BUT MRS. BERNKOPF thinks that everything will turn out all right-"the people have the pio- neering instinct," she said. "Israel's culture is already highly developed. Many people are interested in creative art- though their countrymen are too poor to support their work as yet." "The Hebrew University, where science and the humanities are taught, is not as large as many American universities, but it is just as modern." 1* * * AFTER DR. BERNKOPF has finished his work here, the family will return to Israel. "I will miss Ann Arbor a great deal," Mrs. Bernkopf said, "-its people, of course. And in a very special way, its trees." Lantern Night To BeShorter WAA Board members voted in Tuesday's meeting to conduct eliminations for next spring's Lan- tern Night. Their reason for doing this was because they had heard so much disapproval as to the unneessary length of the program. Song chairmen have for the past few years been given the oppor- tunity to decide upon whether to have eliminations or not and have each time voted against such a measure. WAA has not yet decided just how many groups will sing on Lan- tern Night or how eliminations will be handled, but they do feel that a shortened program is ad- visable. Wyvern Society Elects Officers Officers for next year's Wyvern Society were elected at the final meeting last Tuesday. Ethel Morris of Helen Newberry is the new president; Sally Slocum of Collegiate Sorosis is secretary; Jean Lange of Kappa Kappa Gamma is treasurer and Kathie Geigenmueller of Chi Omega is project chairman. WAA Notices Tennis Tournament - Women who are scheduled to finish the tennis tournament singles are urged to contact their opponents immediately, according to Nancy Somers, Tennis Club manager.

The weather No matter how humid The DuraPower Mainspring . ...won' trust? Onlyn DUa hMsinspring power Women students attending the summer session will have an op- portunity to learn new sports tech- niques and brush up on old ones in an extensive summer sports pro- gram, Dr. Margaret Bell, Chair- man of the Women's Physical Edu- cation Department, h as an - nounced. Coeds who were unable to en- roll for sports instruction during the regular school year because of lack of space may now avail themselves of this opportunity, she said. Instruction will be available for the first time during sum- mer session in riding and a spe- cial new course in fundamental rhythms especially designed for those interested in teaching ele- mentary grades. Other courses open are both be- ginning and intermediate golf, tennis, swimming, modern dance, archery, folk dance, recreational leadership and posture, figure and carriage. BETWEEN 300 and 400 women enroll in the summer physical ed- ucation courses as compared to ap- proximately 1,000 during the regu- lar term. Women may register in the courses during regular registra- tion beginning on June 16. They may also enroll during the first week of the summer session in Barbour Gymnasium since the classes do not begin until the second week of school. All women who wish to partici- pate in the sports program must first have a check-up at Health Service, Dr. Bell said. r ; Latest Nylon News The latest thing in hosiery newus are nylons being sold in threes in- stead of in pairs.
