THE MICTIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1949 NO GRASS SKIRTS: Americans Manufacture False Myths of Hawaii Initial Speech PlayWill Open TodayI 4 * * F By EVA SIMON Hawaii may mean grass skirts and primitive natives to many Americans, but the large popula- tion centers there are just as modern as nany American cities, according to Clarence Yee, 'SOP,' vice-president of the Hawaii Club. Acquainting University students with Hawaii is one of the main purposes of the Hawaii Club. * * * "WE FEEL THAT if more peo- ple can get to know what Ha- waiians are really like, it will be easier to gain support for Ha- waii's bid for statehood," Yee ex- plained. Talented club members have Eklund Will SpeakTodayr John M. Eklund, national presi- dent of the American Federation of Teachers will speak at a meet- ing of the local chapter at 8 p.m. today in Rm. 3G of the Union. Mr. Eklund who is currently Education Adviser to the Veterans Administration will talk on the subject, "Teachers Speak for Themselves." The meeting is open to the public. He is expected to outline the philosophy of his organization as the representative of the rank and flle 'classroom teachers, as dis- tinct from administrators and su- pervisory personnel. Dean Woodburne Will Speak Today Associate Dean Lloyd S. Wood- burne of the literary college will speak on "The Selection, Promo- tion, and Appraisal of the College Teacher" at 7 p.m. today in Rm. 110 of the General Library. The lecture will be delivered at a meeting of a graduate seminar in higher education, but all in- terested persons are invited to at- tend., demonstrated the. colorful hula dances and. Hawaiian songs for various campus groups. They provided entertainment for sev- eral League dances last year and perfdrmed in the annual May Day Festival presented by the International Center. The Hawaii Club was organized two years ago by Bill Miller, '49, who became interested in Hawaii when he was stationed there dur- ing the war. * * * STARTING with 30 members, the club now has a roll call of more than 100. Any University student may join. Male club members complain that they have been hit harder than other groups by the Uni- versity's woman shortage. The ratio of the Hawaii club is 12 to 1, according to Yee. The club has its own orientation program for incoming Hawaiians. It also publishes The Hawaii-Ann, a bi-weekly newspaper. * * * HIGHLIGHT of the club's so- cial activities are the dinners at which members recapture a touch of home life with their favorite Hawaiian dishes. For their biggest affair, a Christmas dinner, a "luau," or Hawaiian feast is being planed. This consists, of a pig surround- ed by ti leaves and yams, and roasted in an oven of huge heat- ed rocks called an "imu." The Hawaii Club, however, will moderate the traditional proce- dure slightly. It will cook the "luau" in a pressure cooker. Psychology Club The Undergraduate Psychology Club will meet at 8:15 p.m. today in the Russian Tea Room of the League. The discussion will be directed by Prof. William C. Morse, director of the University Fresh Air Camp. "Servant of Two Masters," first. speech department play of the fall season will open its four day run at 8 p.m. today at Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre. Written by Carlo Goldoni, 18th century Italian playwright, the play is a farce in the Commedia dell' Arte manner. * * * THE SPEECH DEPARTMENT plans to follow the traditions of Commedia dell' Arte as closely as possible. All the actors will appear in masks and no use will be made of a curtain throughout the play. "Servant of Two Masters" re- volvesraround the character of Truffaldino, who hires himself out to two masters simultane- ously. Comic situations arise when he confuses the orders, let- ters, and money of one master with those of the other. Stan Challis will play the role of Truffaldino. Margaret Pell is cast as Beatrice, one of the mas- ters, and Dick Rifenberg as Flor- indo, the other. Beatrice and Flor- indo are the romantic leads of the play. * * * OTHER PARTS will be taken by Betty Lou Robinson, Allan Ba.. ter; Betty Ellis, James Reason, James White, Irving Deutsch, Wil- liam Taylor, John Waller, William Mackenzie and Albert Johnson. The five stage hands who move scenery between acts will be played, by Arthur Nevins, Lloyd Van Valkenburgh, Robert Mulford, Francis Benesh, and John Mills. Speech Club Begins Work In Dramatics Speech Workshop will hold its initial meeting at 4 p.m. today in Rm. 4203 Angell Hall. A recording of Judith Anderson's Medea will be played, followed by a group discussion. * * * SPEECH WORKSHOP was started this year through the ef- forts of Prof. G. E. Densmore, chairman of the speech depart- ment. Prof. Densmore felt the need to give speech students not in the department's dramatic pro- ductions a chance to have con- tact with work in dramatics. The Workshop will attempt such projects as giving readings of new Broadway plays, playing record- ings of Shakespeare and delivering talks. The gorup may also expe- riment with a verse choir, Dens- more said. ALL WORKSHOP programs will be unrehearsed. No props or make-up will be used. It will meet every Wednesday at 4 p.m. excepting those weeks when a speech assembly has been sched- uled. Sensitivity of earthquake detec- tion by the University seismo- graph station is being increased by the modernization and addi- tion of new equipment, according to Prof. James T. Wilson of the geology department. The first of three seismo-rap:;s which records north and south earth tremors, has been put into operation in a new seismograph station building in the courtyard of the Natural Science Building. THE SECOND seismograph, which will record east and west tremors, will be completed next month, and a third instrument will be installed next year to re- cord vertical earth movements. Of the 75 stations in North America the University seismo- graph station, which was estab- NEW ADDITIONS: 'U' Seismographs Increase QuakeDetection Sensitivity ., lished in 1909, Is still the only one in- the state, Prof. Wilson said. With some parts from the old instruments being used in the new recorders, the basic design of the instruments are the same. The means of making: the actual re- cordo . of earth shocks, however, has been improved, and will in- crease sensitivity about ten times, Prof. Wilson said. A SMALL CONSTANT spot of light is reflected by mirrors onto photographic paper which is at- tached to a revolving drum. Shock waves from earthquakes are re- layed through the earth and cause the delicately suspended mirror to move, recording the tremor on the photographic paper. .:' - , * * * - , I I IT'S MY 1TURN--TRUFFALDINO gapes as his two masters claim his sevices.
