Union. Helps
Ease Travel
Conditions
Students driving home for
spring vacation can be sure of a
car-load of expense sharing riders,
thanks to a special service at the
Michigan Union.
In an effort to ease up holiday
transportation woes, Union stu-
dent staffmen have set up a tra-
vel bureau in the Union lobby.
Its chief purpose is to enable stu-
dents with cars to get together
with students who want rides.
IF THE SERVICE works out as
well this spring as it did at
Christmas time, the end result
should be a mass exodus next
week of cars bound for all parts
of the country, loaded with riders
willing to help pay for gas and
other vital travel necessities.
Don Berns, '52, and Bernie
Jentiett, '52, co-chairmen of the
project, reported that more than
500 students have already signed
up. But they bemoaned one ma-
jor problem: "Not enough
drivers."
Drivers going to New York, Chi-
cago and the Upper Peninsula
are especially in demand, accord-
ing to Jennett.
"We're trying to make assign-
ments as rapidly as possible, but
the lack of drivers is a hindrance,"
Jennett said. He pointed out that
students interested in the "share
the ride" plan should leave their
names at the Union as soon as
possible to ensure satisfaction.
A SERIES of boxes line the
lobby, in which students bound for
various areas can deposit cards
bearing their name, address, des-
tination and other information.
Cards are collected at the end of
each day and a Union committee
immediately tries to coordinate
the supply of drivers with the de-
mand for rides.

DOOR TO DOOR QUIZ:
Census Takers To Begin
Population Count Today

PHILADELPHIA -(p)- Uncle
Sam begins his biggest citizen-
counting job in history today.
The person who may come to
your house any time after 8 a.m.
isn't an April fool prankster. Don't
slam the door in his face. He's the
census taker, part of America's
biggest quiz show.
In every part of the country-
from Maine to California, from
French Play
To OpenSoon
Modern French youth - its in-
dependence and gay nonchalance
- will take the spotlight in the
Cercle Francais' 44th annual pro-
duction, "Les Jours Heureux,"
slated for 8 p.m. Monday at Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.
The three-act comedy, written
in 1938 by Claude-Andre Puget,
reveals the conversational spon-
taneity and petty jealousies ex-
hibited by five adolescents, when
their parents leave them alone for
a day.
Reserved seat tickets, at 75
cents, will still beavailable from
2 to 5 p.m. today and from 2 to 8
p.m. Monday at the Lydia Men-
delssohn box office.
Florida to Oregon-145,000 men
and women will begin ringing door-
bells this morning.
And when your census taker
announces his presence, don't
hesitate to give him 100 per cent
cooperation. Everything you tell
him is strictly confidential. The
U.S. government guarantees that.
In his recent proclamation call-
ing for the start of the census
April 1, President Truman said:
"No person can be harmed in
any way by furnishing the infor-
mation required.
"Individual information collect-
ed under the census will not be
used for purposes of taxation 'in-
vestigation or regulation, or in
connection with military or jury
service, the compulsion of school
attendance, the regulation of im-
migration, or with the enforce-
ment of any national, state or lo-
cal law or ordinance."
Union Mixer
"Spring Tonic," a low-cost mixer
dance featuring disc-jockeys, card
playing, refreshments and special
entertainment, will be held from
2 to 5 p.m. today in the Union
ballroom.
Women can come in free, but
men will be charged a dime, Union
staffmen said.

"Tahstvaat" is an excellently
designed two part piece that com-
poses in any direction from which
it is viewed. Though its lines run
essentially perpendicular, it uti-
lizes horizontal and diagonals and
is in effect three dimensional
sculpture.
LIKE SO MANY of David
Smith's works "Tahstvaat" is of
forged steel. Smith, according to
Prof. Slusser, is possibly the lead-
ing American exponent of ab-
stract 'sculpture.
The artist's studio at Bol-
ton's Landing, Lake George,
contains a forge and a machine
shop. Smith's tools are similar
to those of the typical metal
worker rather than those of the
artist.
At present the University's col-
lection of modern sculpture con-
tains four works: "Happiness," a
bronze, by Jacque Lipchitz; "Pre-
Adamic Fruit" by Jean Hans Arp;
"Woman," a ceramic, by Henri
Laurens and the recently added

"Tahstvaat."
