S. Eliot's "Murder in the Cathedral." Left to right are Frank Bouwsma, Len Rosenson and Ted Heusel. Kneeling at Becket's feet is Enid Moise, one of the Women of Canterbury, who form the chorus in the drama. PIECES OF POTS: DURING 1946 he did theatrical work with a show in southern France which toured Austria and Germany. Last year Rosenson studied drama at Theatre Wing Drama School in New York. He has also appeared in Broadway and several summer stock produc- tions. His dramatic experience also in- cludes radio work and narration of movie shorts. THE ROLE of Thomas a Becket is considered by critics to be the first role since Shakespeare to give full range to an actor's abili- ty, for the entire drama of "Mur- der" is built around the character of the archbishop. The serio-comic roles of the knights who murdered Becket will be played by Ted Heusel, George Olsen and Frank Bouwsma. Jack Huebler, Chuck Olsen and Art Friedman will take the parts of the priests of Canterbury Cathedral. The roles of Becket's Tempters will be danced by Murray Gitlin, choreographer; and Nancy Con- nable, Jim Chapman and Joyce Edgar. THE CHORUS of Women of Canterbury includes Lilias Wag- ner, Enid Moise, Barbara Towar, Brooke Weld, Audreay Riddell, Irma Koppel, Mickey Sager and Lora Angell. Directing "Murder" is Dana Elcar, who recently directed and appeared in the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre's production of "An Inspector Calls." Elcar has also worked with Cranbrook Summer School of the Theatre and Birmingham Sum- mer Players Group. The play's score was written by Ed Chudacoff, who last year com- posed the music for "Dr. Faustus" and some of the songs in "Froggy Bottom." Jo Roberts designed and executed the costumes for the play. Tickets will go on sale from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Nov. 14 to 18 in the Administration Building. Tickets Now At Union for 'ir.

Law Show Displaying Documents Features Stamp Act, 'Blue Laws' The Mayflower Compact, the Stamp Act and the Declaration of Independence all are now on dis- play at the Law Library-in fac- simile only, of course. These are the featured docu- ments in "Highlights of American Legal History," the library's new exhibit. Items have been drawn from both our colonial and revo- lutionary periods. THE COLONIAL section is lo cated at the east end of the main reading room. In addition to the compact, "blue law" codes of Connecticut, assorted charters and laws, and other books and papers have been gathered here for show- ing. A copy of the country's earli- est systemized constitution, one written for the state of Con- necticut, is also on display in this group. Included in the Revolutionary section, located in the basement cases, is a copy of George III's speech to Parliament on the Revo- lution's causes as well as those of the Declaration and Stamp acts. Pictures of such revolutionary figures as King George and scenes of historic importance also form part of this section. Economics Exhibit Shown At Clements Names familiar to economic stu- dents-Adam Smith, Jeremy Ben- tham, and Thomas Malthus - spotlight themcurrentidisplay at Clements Memorial Library. Americana in the field of eco- nomics form the library's exhibit, including the first American edi- tions of the works of these noted English writers. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S "Way to Wealth," and Alexander Ham- ilton's "Report on Manufactures" also are in this exhibit, which will continue throughout the month. Material on display shows that much of early economic theory was a reflection of English thought, according to library au- ihorities, They point oft,~ how- ever, that later writers took a much more nationalistic view. The age-old, yet very current concern of man, over the govern- ment's role in commerce and man- ufacturing is also touched on in the displays, which are open from 9 to 12 and 1 to 5 on weekdays. t { Egg Shell-Shocked Replacing its annual "bucket drive" with an educational ap- proach, the World Student Service Fund has begun its 1949-1950 cam- paign to raise funds to aid needy students overseas. According to present plans, the campus will be divided into two parts. "Organized houses" will in- clude fraternities, sororities, co- ops, league houses, and residence halls. Those unaffiliated students living in private homes will be de- signated as "independent inde- pendents." CARRYING OUT the first step in the program, each of the "or- ganized" houses is being addressed by a drive representative to pro- vide for some real education on WSSF, drive chairman Wym Price said. The American branch of World Student Relief, WSSF serves students in Europe and Asia solely on the basis of need. The funds are used to provide food, clothing, medical aid, books and housing. According to Price, the best of fund raising projects are blood do- nations at the University Hospital. A student can get $15 for a pint of his blood, which is considerably greater than the usual contribu- tion to WSSF. In addition to financial sup- port, WSSF hopes to obtain vol- unteer workers from the "organ- ized" houses to carry out the sec- ond phase of its program. During WSSF Week, March 5- 11, an attempt will be made to contact the "independent indepen- dents" individually. Price said this task will take the combined efforts of about 4,000 students. Price to Return To Speak on Bard Prof. Herewald Price, retired member of the English depart- ment, will speak at 8 p.m. Dec. 12 at Rackham Lecture Hall on "The Construction of Shakespeare's Plays." The lecture is being made pos- sible by the "Price-Student Shake- speare Foundation," organized last spring for the purpose of enabling students to again hear Prof. Price. Following the talk, Prof. Price will be presented with a bound volume of testimonials from many of his former students.

As part of a pub- licity stunt to sell tickets to Slide Rule Ball Forman and Dick Humes, 51E, were chained to a tree on the Diag to become targets for the barrage. * * * * Lawyiers' Bound and Egged For Invading Engine School Mexican Ceramic Fragments On Exhibition in 'U' Museum By NORMAN MILLER "I am a battered victim of stu- dent brutality and sadism." Al Forman 50E, publicity di- rector of the Slide Rule Ball, loudly voiced this complaint yes- terday during a bedside inter- view. * * FORMAN and Dick Humes, 51E, volunteered to pose as lawyers accused of sneaking into the line for Slide Rule Ball tick- ets. Before a large crowd of stu- dents, Wednesday,stheywere found guilty _and sentenced by "Judge" Lexie Herrin, '50E, to be chained to a tree and pelted by spoiled vegetables and rot- ten eggs. Prizes of 20 year old Engineering song books were offered to stu- dent bystanders who could prove their skill by splattering the "lawyers" with an egg or tomato, above the shoulders. * * * "A LITTLE COED wound up, and with a speedball toss that would have done Bob Feller cre- dit, hit me squarely on the nose with a ripe tomato," Forman said. "That was only the beginning of an intense barrage that lasted five excruciating minutes. The chains lashed us tightly to the tree so there was little we could do to escape the steady stream of garbage."

Now that our sit- uation is becoming somewhat stabilized, we are making a vig- orous effort to improve the qual- ity of our instruction. "The Standing Committee on Curriculum and the several de- partments of the college are re-ex- amining their courses in order to make them better instruments for both general and special educa- tion. In trying to define and at- tain these purposes we could profit reatly by the expression of stu- dent opinion. "It has always puzzled me that Michigan undergraduates showed so little interest in the one thing which brought them to Ann Arbor, namely, the kind of education they hoped to get. "It would be fortunate if there was some organization that would permit the student body of the college to formulate their needs and make constructive proposals for the improvement of their col- lege program. The administration and the faculty of the college will welcome such suggestions." pology, on an expedition into the valley of Mexico from February through September 1946. * * * THE VALLEY, in which Mexico City is located, was one of the areas where the Indian became adapted to his American environ- ment. Their civilization grew there for thousands of years and reached its climax in the Aztec empire at the time Cortez arrived, accord- ing to Griffin. Four periods, the formative, classical, Tula-Mazapan and Aztec, mark the cultural develop- ment of early Mexico. Ceramic fragments representing each per- iod are displayed.
