PRING RUSH-BIG HEADACHE:
Arboretum Gets Beauty Treatment Every Monday


* * *

By RON WATTS
Every Monday morning, four
men working for the University
tackle one of the biggest janitor
-: jobs in Ann Arbor.
At 8 a.m. the men gather at the
entrance to Nichols Arboretum,
and then move forward toward in-
numerable beer cans and bottles,
papers, half finished lunches and
other assorted articles in an at-
tempt to restore the arb to its
natural beauty.
One and a half days later their
job is finished - for another
week,
PROF. Harlow O. Whittemore,
director of Nichols Arboretum, has
noted a great increase in use of
the arb since the war. Prof. Whit-
temore who has been its director
for 16 years believes that atten-
dance in the arb has increased at
least 10 times in recent years.
"We try to keep the scenic
area looking like a park, but
with all the accumulation of
trash, campfires and cars cut-
ting up the hills and fields it
is rather difficult.
Prof. Whittemore has appeared
recently before several groups of
reidents in the women's dormi-
tories and asked their aid and
cooperation in keeping the arb
cleaned up.
"We have received many fine
suggestions from them, including
the idea of trash barrels at the
entrance which may be used soon,"
he said.
"Although our rush season will
soon be over, we want to ask all
the students and people to co-
operate with us in keeping the ar-
boretum in ship-shape condition,"
Prof. Whittemore remarked.

BEER CAN SEA-A vast pile of beer cans lies in silent testimony to the many parties held in the
arboretum this spring. The cans were piled by f our men working a day and a half each week, in an
effort to restore the arboretum to its natural beauty. However, beer cans are only a part of the
workers' job. They also must clean up a generous number of half-finished lunches, papers and
smashed bottles. Another worry for arb caretalkers is cars cutting up the fields and hillsides.

concerning race relations in the
South, will open a six-night run

Mendelssohn Theatre.
Starring Murial Rahn, the
opera is scheduled for production

THE STORY concerns a South-
ern plantation owner and his
troubles with the social customs
of the society in which he has
been reared. The barrier is racial
prejudice, which comes between
him and his children.
Miss Rahin, who plays the
Negro housekeeper, has done
extensive concert work and
sung with leading opera com-
panies. She originated the role
of Carmen in Broadway's "Car-
men Jones." She also played
the lead role in the Columbia
Opera Workshop's premiere
production of "The Barrier"
early this spring.
Music for the performance will
be by Marguerite and Jan Mey-
erowitz, at two pianos.
THE FINAL production of the
Ann Arbor Drama Season will be
George Bernard Shaw's satire,
"Getting Married," with an all-
star cast. It will open a six-night
run at 8:30 p.m. June 12 in Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.

AND NOW the University is
faced with the problem of trans-
lating her credits into the cor-
responding credit-hours of this
University. Because of this delay,
Miss Koroton is as undecided
about her study program as a
first semester freshman.
At the University of Munich,
Miss Koroton studied music
and medicine, while this semes-
ter she is taking such elemen-
tary courses as English I. She
believes that eventually she will
either major in languages or
continue her studies in medi-
cine.
Miss Koroton was born in the
Ukraine, but moved to Germany
in 1943. During the war she lived
near Hamburg and entered the
University of Munich in 1946.
HER EDUCATION is being fi-
nanced by Assembly, in coopera-
tion with the University Displaced
Student Fund.
Miss Koroton said, "I was de-
lighted with this student com-
munity and its activities and
was surprised to find so many
foreign students hgre at tr
University."
The peaceful attitude of the
American people greatly impressed
Miss Koroton. "In Germany one
is continually reminded of the
war."
Miss Koroton has found "the
most human University" in Ann
Arbor. She says that Americans
are the friendliest people she's
met - "everyone is everyone else's
friend the moment they meet."

China Crisis
In UN Seen
By Efimenco
A crisis over China's represen-
tation in the United Nations may
come at the September meeting of
the General Assembly, N. Mar-
bury Efimenco, of the political
science department, said yester-
day.
At this meeting, Trygve Lie's
five-year term as secretary-gen-
eral expires, and the UN must
elect a new chief.
"If the great powers cannot
agree ona new candidate," Efi-
menco explained, "Lie will have
to run again." But T. F. Tsiang,
the Chinese Nationalist delegate,
recently made a statement that
he would veto a motion for Lie's
reelection, he noted.
The reason for this, Efimenco
explained, is that Lie has circu-
lated a memorandum to the mem-
bers of the UN, saying that the
Communist government at Peiping
legally has a strong case for rep-
resentation in the UN.!
The necessity of electing a sec-
retary-general may provide a new
impetus for seating a Chinese
Communist delegate, he said.
Efimenco questioned whether,
with the Nationalist government
no longer exercising authority,
China could for long be repre-
sented by the Nationalist delegate
in the UN.
He noted that, according to
Lie's memorandum, the UN need
not question the nature of the
government a delegate represents,
but only whether that govern-
ment has control of the territory
in question.
