HOOL RETAINS CONTROL:
Language Requirement
Graduate Plan Rejected

The Graduate Executive Board
as rejected the recommenda-
on of the Graduate Student
ouncil to put the administration
flanguage requirements for doc-
ral candidates in the hands of
ie individual departments.
Under the existing set up, the
raduate School controls both the
imber and kind of languages re-
wired.
The recommendation was based
a a student-faculty survey con-
icted by the Council, which
lowed 83 per cent of the candi-
ates favored departmental con-
01, as did a majority of the
culty whe were contacted.
GRADUATE students felt they
}ent too much time preparing
r their language examinations,
,cording to the survey.
65 percent of the students
vould prefer to put the five to
welve credit hours they spend
n language into courses more
directly connected to their
ields, while 27 per cent of the

students have had sufficient
training in both German and
French before entering Grad-
uate School.
In defense of the Board's ac-
tion, Dean Ralph A. Sawyer of
the Graduate School explained,
"The Executive Board believes
that the language requirement is
a general requirement, analo-
gous to the 'group requirements'
fulfilled by lower classmen, and
that knowledge of French and
German are expected of every
successful candidate for a doc-
torate."

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL has
liberalized its language require-
ments in accordance with the
national trend, according to Dean
Sawyer. Departments may recom-
mend the substitution of other
languages to meet the indvidual
student's need, or the student may
get credit through the reading
courses offered in French, Ger-
man or Spanish, he continued.

Poll Shows
Loyalty Quiz
Acceptable
Few Objections
By 'U' Personnel
University personnel connected
with government-sponsored pro-
jects have no strenuous objection
to loyalty probes and government
secrecy regulations, according to
a brief Daily poll conducted yes-
terday.
The poll was taken as a result
of Ralph E. Montonna, director of
the Syracuse University Institute
of Industrial Research's, state-
ment that the Institute would in
the future refuse to work on any
project which the Atomic Energy
Commission might classify as
secret.
* * *
MONTONNA CHARGED that
the government's secrecy edicts
were defeating the increase of
knowledge which he said was the
primary purpose of university re-
search.
Montonna said, "Classified
work is not well suited for uni-
versity purposes. It should be
done in AEC laboratories," and
added that scientists objected
to being checked for loyalty.
Prof. Albert E. White, director
of the Engineering Research In-
stitute here at the University, said
that there has very definitely been
no objection to loyalty probes
voiced by any member of the Uni-
versity connected with govern-
ment work.
* * *
ATHANAS P. Fontaine, direc-
tor of the Aeronautical Research
Center at Willow Run, said that
loyalty probes are essential for
anyone working on weapons of
any kind. "Most of the men apply-
ing for work know that a loyalty
check will be required and don't
apply' unless they are willing to
undergo one.
"The question of whether or
not there should be a loyalty
probe depends on the nature
of the work. Work on weapons
must be highly secret and of
course there must be a probe.
However, I don't feel that a
probe is necessary on men work-
ing on projects of a very basic
nature," Fontaine added.
Prof. E. F. Barker, head of the
physics department said that he
had no objection to loyalty probes
or working on classified projects.
"The only objection I have to
loyalty probes is the checking of
men applying for AEC research
fellowships. However, if it is a
.question of having the probe or
not having the fellowship, then
we feel that the education received
from the fellowships is more im-
portant."
NSA To Hold

Students desiring to petition
for seats on the University's dele-
gation to this summer's National

Zipperstein, '51.

Union Offers
TheatreTrip
A trip to a Detroit showing of
the hit play "Death of a Sales-
man" will be sponsored by the
Michigan Union April 5, accord-
ing to Union staffman Phil John-
son, '52E.
Tickets for the bus trip will go
on sale from 3 to 5 today through
Friday in the Union Lobby, John-
son said. Priced at $3.25, they
will cover both transportation and
theatre admission.
Buses will leave the Union at 6
p.m. April 5.

Striving to ease up the trans-
portation problem many students
will face during spring vacation,
the Michigan Union is again go-
ing into the travel bureau busi-
ness.
Hauling out all the paraphena-
lia they used preceding the Christ-
mas exodus, including eight sec-
tional maps of the United States,
Union staffmen have once more
set up a booth in the Union lobby
where students with cars can get
the names of students who want
rides.

"FOR RIDERS willing to share
expenses the travel service will
mean transportation home inthe
comfort of an automobile," ac-
cording to staffman Bernie Jen-
nett, '52. "And it will provide a

means of spreading trip costs for
drivers with empty cars."
The service will swing into
operation today. Gracing the
booth are the U. S. maps, with a
special box placed under each
section. The boxes are recepta-
cles for cards which are to be
filled out by students heading
for various areas.
Drivers and prospective riders
each should deposit cards in the
boxes. contgining their name, ad-
dress, destination, time of depart-
ure, telephone number and other
vital statistics, Jennett said.
CARDS WILL be collected at
the end of each day and a Union
committee will immediately try
to coordinate the supply of drivers
with the demand for rides.

Agility and good timing are
essentials in stage fencing where
the actor is pierced by the blunt-
ed sword, bleeds greasepaint, and
is always wounded emotionally,
but never physically.
But there are times when the
performer misses a cue and is
struck a fairly painful blow, for
even a dulled rapier can do a lot
of harm to the face or an eye,
according to Warren Pickett,
Grad., who is directing the stage
fencing to be used in "King Lear,"
which opens a four-night run to-
morrow at Lydia Mendelssohn
Theater.
NO HELMETS, padding or but-
tons on the ends of the rapiers
will be used in the speech depart-
ment's coming production since
they might distract from the rea-
listic touch of "every blow meant
to kill." To keep out of danger of
the flashing blades while parry-
ing and lunging over the stage
area requires nimble footwork, a
quick eye and fast timing on the
part of the actors, he continued.
"In stage fencing, the action
is slightly slowed down so that
the audience is able to see every
move, while dueling for sport is
often difficult to follow with the
eye because of the rapidity of
the blows.
"For stage technique the defen-
sive man must be the one to strike
the blow, the offensive bringing
his blade to within inches of the
former's head. Then the defensive
quickly crashes his sword against
the other's, creating just the op-
posite impression, Pickett point-
ed out.

BLOOD OR RED greasepaint
is sometimes used for effect in in-
juries, he explained, but this of-
ten proves too gory for the audi-
ence.
"In 'King Lear' there will be
four dueling fights," he said,
"which promise to be as daring
and dashing as the rugged pirate
movies." Tickets for "King Lear"
may be obtained from 10 a.m.
until 5 p.m. at Lydia Mendelssohn
box office or reserved by calling
6300.
Grad History Club
The Graduate History Club will
meet at 8 p.m. today in Rm. 1007
Angell Hall, instead of the Rack-
ham Building as previously an-
nounced.
