OPENING NIGHT:
'Murder in the Cathedral'
To Play at St. Andrew's

By NANCY BYLAN
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church
will be transformed into Canter-
bury Cathedral at 8 p.m. today
when Inter-Arts Union's produc-
tion of "Murder in the Cathedral"
opens at the church for a three
day run.
The audience will become a con-
gregation and witness the reen-
actment of the murder of Thomas
Becket at the altar of the Ca-
thedral.
BECKET was the archbishop of
Fate of Village
Obscured by
Two Problems

(Continued from Page 1)

This conmnittee would meet
weekly at Willow Run, accord-
ing to Robert Copp, '50L, chair-
man.
At a resident meeting last night,
interested residents discussed
problem approaches they had
brought up at a meeting last Wed-
nesday night.
AT THE WEDNESDAY get-to-
gether residents had mapped plans
for organization of the Willow
Run Area Redevelopment Associa-
tion, according to Copp.
This group differs from the
Resident Council in that "it
would include other nearby pro-
perty owners," he explained.
Its purpose would be limited to
fact-finding and submission of
these findings to the Resident
Council. The latter, in turn, would
formulate a concrete disposition
policy, he added.
SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS were
then brought up. They include
incorporation of the entire area
as a city, and the bringing in of
a private investor who would re-
develop the land as a low-cost
housing project, Copp said.
But he emphasized that they
were merely ideas, that expres-
sion of community sentiment as
a whole is necessary before fin-
al plans can be adopted.
Most tenants are acutely aware
of t he problem facing the de-
velopment; the rest would like to
understand the facts, but as yet
don't, according to a resident
spokesman.
Union Coffee
Hour Today
Students and faculty members
from the philosophy department
will be guests at the Union's coffee
hour at 4 p.m. today in the Terrace
Room of the Union.
These coffee hours are designed
to give students a chance to meet
informally .with their professors
and discuss their mutual problems
over a pleasant cup of coffee.
Other departments will be hon-
ored guests at subsequent coffee
hours.

Canterbury in the 12th century. He
became notorious because of his
head-strong opposition to the
measures of the king, and was
murdered by some overzealous
knights, an affair in which the
king had no part.
"Murder in the Cathedral" is
T. S. Eliot's verse dramatization
of the historical event. Written
in 1935, the play was first pre-
sented in England at the annual
Canterbury Festival.
Len Rosenson will play the role
of Becket. Cast as his murderers
are Ted Heusel, George Olsen and
Frank Bouwsma. The priests of
Canterbury Cathedral will be
played by Chuck Olsen, Jack
Heubler and Art Friedman.
THE DRAMA also includes a
chorus of Women of Canterbury
and the modern dance roles of
Becket's Tempters.
Dana Elar is directing the
play. The musical score was
written by Ed Chudacoff.
In addition to three Ann Arbor
performances, Inter-Arts Union
will also present "Murder" at 4:30
p.m. Sunday in Christ Church,
Cranbrook.
Tickets for the play can be pur-
chased from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
through Friday in the lobby of the
Administration Building.
Registrars
To Meet Here
Tomorrow
The University will play host to
nearly 100 representatives from 50
Michigan colleges and universities
tomorrow when the Michigan As-
sociation of Collegiate Registrars
holds its annual meeting at the
Union.
A welcome will be extended to
the registrars by President Alex-
ander G. Ruthven at the opening
meeting, scheduled for 10:00a.m.
DAVID M. TROUT, dean of
Central Michigan College of Edu-
cation and vice-president of the
association, will then give a pro-
gram preview, followed by an ad-
dress by Charles L. Anspach, presi-
dent of Central Michigan, on "The
Registrar's Office from the College
President's Point of View."
Also featured on the morning
program will be a discussion of
the relationships of the national
and state registrars' associations
by Robert L. Linton, Michigan
State College registrar.
The session will conclude with
a panel discussion, headed by Ev-
erett L. Marshall, registrar of
Michigan State Normal College,
on methods of computing the
equivalent of full-time students.

Bias Queries
Professors Deny
Discrimination
Admission application blanks
are not used for discriminatory,
purposes, admissions officials for
two University schools declared in
answer to a leaflet put out by the
Young Progressives.
The leaflet asked why questions
of the applicant's race, religion,
place of birth and nationality and
a request for a photograph ap-
peared on application blanks.
COPIES OF application blanks
for the School of Music, the
School of Public Health and Med-
ical School were printed in the
leaflet.
Prof. Otto J. Stahl, of the
School of Music, said that the
questions regarding race and
the request for a photograph
were used in providing housing
for students.
"We have no limit on the num-
ber of Negro, Jewish or foreign
students who come into the music
school," he said.
"These questions are used by
administrative officials to provide
housing. Some landladies won't
take certain students so there is
no point in sending any and all
students to them."
* * *
HE ADDED that the informa-
tion could be obtained after a stu-
dent entered the school though it
is more convenient to use the pre-
sent application form.
Dr. Henry F. Vaughan, dean of
the School of Public Health, said
that application questions are used
for job placement.
"We accept a student according
to his ability to fill job needs," he
explained.
Dr. Wayne L. Whitaker, chair-
man of the admissions committee
of the Medical School, could not
be reached for comment.

ceived a B.A. in jurisprudence in
1923 and a bachelor of civil law in
1924.
