THE MICHIGAN DAILY A WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1958 I I ~t I. Mumm Doctor Hits Socialization Of Britain A trial program of socialized medicine-or any other plan of the welfare state-can only end in complete nationalization and absolute government control of private property, Dr. Geoffrey Myers, an English surgeon, warn- ed last night. Lecturing at a meeting of the Washtenaw County Medical So- ciety, Dr. Myers, consulting sur- geon of West Cornwall Hospital in Penzance, England, charged that a "bureaucratic" welfare state in any country separates people from the wealth of their country. * * * "WHEN the individual no long- er has control over his private property in the 'property-less' welfare state, it then creates a real need for welfare," Dr. Myers said. As an example, Dr. Myers said , that when a national health "scheme" was first given to the British people in 1911, no one thought that medicine would Ibecome a state monopoly. "But the British people have been taken for a ride, forced into collectivism, and are now govern- ed by a stereotyped formula de- vised by others than ourselves." DR. MYERS claimed that state contrl of medicine by the Bri- tish gbvernment has: 1. Removed ownership of pri- vate practice from doctors. 2. Destroyed hospital autonomy, and forced the control of as many as 200 widely-distributed hospi- tals under one regional board. 3. Created an "army of snoop- ers" upon whose aid the socialist government depends. 4. Caused a breakdown of im- portant confidential relationships between the doctor and his pa- tient. Dr. Myers asserted that in spite of the National Medicine Service in Britain, "all doctors are treated alike, but the good ones are dragged down while the bad are lifted up." Dr. Myers said that other coun- tries must remember that "social- ism as a form of government does not depend on a socialist govern- ment, but a general welfare con- cept forced on the people by psuedo-intellectuals." * 'I * "IN BRITAIN, the welfare state has been pushed to the fore-front during the last 40 years by lib- erals, and not by the socialist gov- ernment that came into power four years ago." Health Parley To MeetT'od ay More than 200 industrial sur- geons and doctors from all parts of Michigan will meet on the cam- pus today to hold three meetings on problems of industrial health. The morning and afternoon ses- sions, beginning at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., will be held at the School of Public Health. The evening meet- ing will be held in a local hotel, beginning at 6 p.m. The conference is part of a state-wide celebrationetoday of Michigan Industrial Health Day. -Daily-Alan Reid COLD SHOULDER-Given a kingdom for the affection they have shown the king (John Sargent), his two daughters Regan (Ann Husselman) and Goneril (Joyce Atchison) drive Lear from his castle in "King Lear," opening a four-night run at 8 p.m. in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Swords Flash, Hears Break As 'ing L. 'Oen oih House lights will dim at 8 p.m. as the curtain goes up on Shakes- peare's "King Lear," opening a four night run today at Lydia Mendelssohn. w Critics consider the play to be the most calamitous of the Bard's works since eleven of the feature characters are killed or wounded by flashing swords, broken hearts and eye-gouging. *. * * THE MAIN plot revolves about old King Lear's decision to divvy up his kingdom among his three daughters according to their feel- ings toward the old man, but with one catch-they must express their love publicly. Favorite daugh- ter Cordelia, proud as the old king, refuses. Lear cuts her off without a shilling. Lear is M)adly treated in his retirement-so badly treated that he runs off. Just as faith- French Club Will Present Pu getComedy1 "One of the finest psychological studies of modern French youth" is the way Prof. Charles Koella, of the romance language department, described the forthcoming Cercle Francais' production, "Les Jours Heureux," under his direction. The French Club's 44th annual presentation-a three-act comedy by Claude-Andre Puget-is slated for 8 p.m. Monday at Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre. * * * "THE HAPPY DAYS" studies closely five young people, ranging in age from 16 to 29 years, whose parents leave them alone in a country home for 24 hours. With no parental supervision, the characters act and react spon- taneously, speak colorfully and carry on petty bickerings in an at- mosphere of gay nonchalance, Prof. Koella explained. Starring are Owen Loveless, Grad, as the aviator; J. Warren Bunyan, '50, as Bernard Gassin; Arthur Hanson, jr., '51, as Olivier Laprade; Patricia Sly, jr., '51, in the role of Pernette Laprade; Er- nestine Masters, '50, as Marianne Gassin and Judith Raub, '51, as Francine Gassin. Tickets for the play cost 75 cents, and may be purchased from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday or from 2 to 8 p.m. Monday at the Lydia Mendelssohn box office. All seats will be reserved. ful daughter Cordelia is about to save the old man from his wanderings, she is killed. Parallel to this tragedy is the dirty work of Edmond, bastard son of an Earl named Gloucester who leads his father to believe his second son, Edgar, is trying to kill him. Glouchester disowns Edgar. Wicked Edmond has his father blinded and thrown out of the castle. IRASCIBLE old King Lear will be acted by John Sargent '50; the Earl of Kent, loyal adviser to the king, by Warren Pickett, Grad; Regan and Goneril, two not-so- favorite daughters of the king, by Ann Husselman '50 and Joyce Atchison '50. Cardelia, the king's faithful daughter will be played by Mari- lyn Begole, '50; Gloucester by Ted Heusel, Grad. and the fool by Arthur Flemings, Grad. Set designs for "King Lear" are by George Crepeau with Barbara Hamel supervising costumes. The entire production is under the direction of Prof. William P. Hal- stead. TICKETS for the four evening performances may be obtained from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and at showtime at the Lydia Mendel- ssohn box office or reserved by calling 6300. Dental Faculty osition Given no Ramfjord Dr. Sigurd Ramfjord of Oslo,' 'INorway, has been appointed to the faculty of the School of Dent- istry, for the 1950-51 academic year according to-Dean Russell W. Bunting of dental school. Dr. Ramfjord took his post- graduate training in peridontia at the University, where he served as a clinical instructor from 1948 to 1949. Currently he is teaching post- graduate courses in Norway. B-oyd-o Lecture Charles E. Boyd, assistant sec- retary of the Detroit Board of Commerce and President of the American Trade Association Exe- cutives, will discuss the "Commer- cial Activities of Chambers of Commerce" in Business Adminis- tration classes today, in the first of a series of three lectures. ~ - - New Quad To Relieve Congestion Completion of the South Quad- rangle next February will permit a "substantial reduction in the number of men doubling and trip- ling up in the West and East Quadrangles," Francis Shiel, resi- dent hall business manager, an- nounced yesterday. But at the same time Shiel ad- :nitted that quad crowding would aot be completely eliminated by he move. '* * * AS A RESULT of the heavy -ostwar enrollments, all double rooms in the quads have been zonverted to triples, while all ingles have had two men in them. Exactly how far the reduction will go, Shiel said, would not be known until next February. At that time the remaining over- flow of students will be put in rooms "which will lend them- selves best to a second or a third person," he explained. But, Shiel declared, there would iefinitely be no doubling or trip- ing up in the South Quad at any ime. * * * THE DORM crowding problem >egan during the war, which >rought with it increased female nrollment and extensive training ;ourses conducted by the armed .ervices. The overcrowding in women's dorms was eliminated last year with the completion of Alice Lloyd Hall. But the situation still persisted in the men's dorms. At the begin- aing of this semester the two quads were housing about 1,350 men each. They had originally been de- signed for some 925 men apiece. Swim Team Falls Victim To Ukulele-itis Natators Find Uke Big Help in Wooing The Michigan swimming team owes a great deal to a long-un- recognized Portugese inventor, Sal- vatore Munez. Back in the era before radio and Arthur Godfrey, Senor Munez put together cat-gut strings and a sounding box to make the 'first ukulele. This little instrument, whose name comes from Hawaiian words meaning "jumping flea" has twanged its way into the heart of the American public. The swimming team is the prize Ann Arbor example of ukulele-itis. * * * MEMBERS OF THE team were unaware of the beauties of Senor Munez' invention until their Christmas vacation visit to the sunny sands of Florida. Anxious to make the best possible impres- sion on the denizens of that orange bedecked state, they were quite chagrined to notice that the boys from Ohio State seemed to make much better time than they did. The Ohio secret soon was out. The ukulele had come to Colum- bis with the influx of students from Hawaii. Since fair ladies everywhere seem to be equally susceptible to the combination of moonlight and "uke" music, the men of the scarlet and grey, each equipped with a ukulele, had proved irresistable. Alert Michiganders were not far behind, and soon both teams were wooing in the Florida nights with the gentle strumming of ukuleles. "It's so easy to play," diver George Eyster explained, "all you have to do is hit it once and then sing." * * * OTHER ANN Arborites have fal- len victim to the lulling strains of "uke" music. "We used to sell about six a year," one local mer- chant declared, "but business has boomed up to one a week now that Arthur Godfrey is twanging one." But buying the instrument isn't the end for anyone who really wants to master it. First on the list of accessories necessary to the green "uke" man is the indispen- sible instruction book. ARMED WITH a knowledge of simple chords in the key of C, the novice goes on to purchase music - any kind of music - just so long as it has "uke" chords in it. And, these tunes seem to do the trick in obtaining the hearts of shrewd women, according to Ey- ster. Zither May Brimg Atmosphere To Local Run of 'Third Man' The sound of a zither will echo through the lobby of the Michigan Theatre during the run of "The Third Man." At least, it will if Gerald Hoag, the Michigan's manager, can find a zitherist. So far he's had no response to his local want ads, and a quick check with Dean Earl V. Moore of the Music School indicated any zither players in that department had been keeping their light under a bushel. * *, * THE ZITHER is featured in this recent British film release. When director Carol Reed was in Vienna, he heard a young man playing the native Austrian instrument, and decided it created the perfect op- erating atmosphere for his dis- illusioned American hero. This "Third Man Suite" as the background music has been called, is now a smash record success. Hoag indicated he wanted his zitherist to play something on the order of "Third Man" music. * * * For those of us who were not around at the beginning of the century, when the zither was the favorite American instrument, it's a small wooden box with strings across it, played with a pick. So if Hoag gets a response to his plea for a zitherist, we'll soon be seeing how it was done back in 1900. And "The Third Man" will have an added attraction. By ROSEMARY OWEN Students who want the smug pleasure of saying they've read the oldest book in the Library are in for a sad surprise when they fi- nally locate it. The oldest 'book' is more than 100 Babylonian-cuneiform clay CAN'T TURN THESE PAGES! Oldest Library Book Proves 'Muddy' tablets,adating from 700B.C. which can be seen on exhibit in Newberry Hall. These clay blocks, inscribed with stylus-made symbols, look like the tracks of a lost kitten on a freshly-laid cement sidewalk. Only scholars who have devoted many years to learning the Baby- lonian tongue can decipher the messages imbedded in the clay. * * * NO ONE WITHDRAWS these 'volumes' from the, files any more. Long ago, researchers used all the modern techniques of photography and managed to get good repro- ductions of the indented clay pieces. Using these, scholars trans- lated the odd-shaped symbols into records of battles, or long tax lists. After these transla- tions were published, the clay blocks were useful only as his- torical references and were re- tired to a life of public exposure at the Archeological Museum. If the thought of droping a clay block on his toe doesn't please the average student, perhaps he would settle for the easier-to- handle though younger, papyrus manuscript of segments of the Epistles of St. Paul, which date back to 300 A.D. * * * WHEN THEY WERE published in 1935 by Prof. Sanders of the University they were considered extremely important textually. But demand for them is slight these days, since newer, yet un- (Continued on Page 5) Faculty Hold Five Offices In Academy Two members of the University faculty were elected and three re- elected to posts in the Michigan Academy of Literature, Arts and Science following its 54th annual convention here. Elected vice-president was Prof. Edward B. Ham of the French de- partment and secretary, James H. Robertson of the English depart- ment. * * * REELECTED TO the post of treasurer was Prof. James T. Wil- son of the geology department; editor Prof. Frederick K. Sparrow of the botany department and librarian, Prof. Warner G. Rice of the English department and director of the University library. Elected president was L. R. Schoemann, director of the Conservation Institute at Michi- gan State College and coordi- nator for junior academy, Wil- liam J. Gilbert of Albion College. The Academy also voted to affil- iate as a regular organization member with the Michigan Coun- cil for UNESCO and to provide a research endowment fund to raise funds for research grants to mem- bers of the Academy. 1. r t DAUf r h A MICHIGAN DAILY Phone 23-24-1 HOURS: 1 to 5 P.M.
