ELECTION SCENES

Cosmic Ray research has its ups
and downs according to University
physicists.
From a height of 50,000 feet up
above the earth to a depth of 1100
feet down into the earth, research-
ers are measuring the amount and
intensity of Cosmic Rays.

LAST APRIL, ten high altitude,
Speech Dept.
Will Present
Religious Play,
"Family Portrait" has been
chosen by the speech department
as its second production of the fall
season.
The drama will be presented
Nov. 30 to Dec. 3 at Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre.
WRITTEN by Lenore Coffee
and William Joyce Cowen, "Fain-
ly mPortrait" gives a picture of the
family of Jesus and the effect .on
them of his departure from home
and crucifixion.
The play was first produced at
the Morosco Theatre in New
York with Judith Anderson in
the leading role of Mary. It was
highly praised by the critics for
its "honest 'andstraightforward
simplicity, tenderness of feel -
ing," its "fresh and poignant sig-
nificance' and its "moving ex-'
pression Hof truth and beauty."
In order to create a familiar and
contemporary feeling and to re-
move the play from the usual
stiffness of religious dramas, the
speech department will present
"Family Portrait' in a modern set-
ting, approximately the 19th cen-
tury.
DIRECTING THE play will be
Prof. Valentine Windt, who recent-
ly returned from Broadway, where
he directed the production of
"Twelfth Night" which originally
appeared in Ann Arbor in last
spring's Drama Festival.
"Family Portrait" was given
in 1939 by the speech depart-
ment, Prof. Windt also directing
this earlier production.
Mail orders for the play may be
sent to Play Production, Lydia.
Mendelssohn Theatre. The box
office will open Nov. 28th.
School with a History
The Sorbonne, founded in the
thirteenth century, is the college7
of science and letters at ,the Uni-I
versity of Paris.1

hydrogen filled balloons were re-
leased by Prof. William Nieren-
berg of the physics dept.
Attached to a special contain-
er on the balloons were photo-
graphic plates which recorded
the traces of the rays. The bal-
loons were equipped with instru-
ments designed by Prof. H. R.
Crane of the physics depart-
ment, which maintained a
steady altitude.
Only one of the balloons re-
leased were recovered, the others
are believed to have been carried
by the wind and sunk in Lake
Erie, according to Prof. Nieren-
berg.
A WEATHER beaten container
and balloon were found on a
mountainside near Mahaney City,
Pennsylvania, some time last
month. Barely legible on the side
of the container were the words
"University of Michigan." The
finder of the balloon wrote the
University telling of its location.
But before he received an an-
swer from the University he sent
the materials to the Brookhaven
Laboratory at Upton, N.Y.
This caused further delay, but
the plates and instruments are
now in Prof. Nierenberg's posses-
sion.
A group of graduate students
working under' the supervision of
Prof. Wayne Hazen of the physics
department descend 1,1000 ft. into
a Detroit salt mine to record the
rays.
A WILSON CLOUD chamber
which photographs the streaks
caused by the rays and a Geiger
counter are used in this project.
Ony one out of ten thousand
rays which hit the earth have
enough energy to penetrate to the
depth of the cave, according to
Prof. Hazen.

ners of the Junior Case Clubs

bia, Cornell, Fordham, New York
University, University of Chicago

High School Meet
High School students from all
parts of Michigan will attend the
fifth annual Michigan High
School Conference Dec. 9 here.
The conference will consider
problems of student self-govern-
ment.

Familiar buckets of shiny zinc
will greet students and Ann Ar-
borites at their favorite street cor-
ners next week as the annual Gal-
ens Christmas Drive gets under
way.
Some 30,000 tags will be sold on
Dec. 2 and 3 by members of Gal-
ens, an honorary medical society,
to provide for the needs of the
children at University Hospital.
* * *
A SPECIAL Christmas program,

Dorm Honors
SarahAng~ell
Women living in Sarah Caswell
Angell House honored the name-
sake of their dormitory with a spe-
cial dinner last night.
Special guests were President
Alexander G. Ruthven and Prof.
F. Clever Bald, who related inci-
dents recorded in the diary of Mr.
Angell. Mrs. Angell was the wife
of James Burrill Angell, president
of the University, 1871-1909.

crafts for children who are pa-
tients at the hospital.
Galens' Christmas tag day drives
have been an Ann Arbor tradition
since 1927.
EACH YEAR the buckets are
manned by members of the medi-
cal society so that expenses can
be kept to a bare minimum.
"This year, a local printing
shop is printing our 30,000 tags
absolutely free," Bill Newlander,
'50M, said. "We hope to hold our
total expenses under $50."
Last years drive netted more
than $5,000-all from the sale of
tags.
* * *
NEWLANDER stressed the fact
that the Galens drive aids hospital
children during the entire year,
through the craft hop and the in-
struction in arts and crafts which
it offers.
Its immediate purpose, how-
ever, is to provide a pleasant
yuletide season for the children,
many of whom have to spend
Christmas far from home.
Displays will appear in the win-
dows of the Ann Arbor Trust
Building as well as Wahr's and
Kresge's on State Street, and they
will show how Galens' drive funds
are spent.

IU'Professors
Support Fight
On Deportation,
Prof John F Shephard, of the
psychology department, and Le-
roy Waterman, professor emeritus
of Semitics, have joined a list of
108 sponsors of a National Con-
ference Against Deportation Hys-
teria.
Sponsored by the American
Committee for Protection of For-
eign Born, the conference will be
held December 3 and 4 in Detroit.
PROF. WATERMAN explained
that the conference is designed to
focus public attention on the "ten-
dency of the Justice Department
to deport anyone who has a taint
of Communism."
"The Committee hopes to se-
cure the full benefit of the Am-
erican court system for foreign
born persons who may be un-
justly treated by the Justice De-
partment," he said.
The committee grew out of the
Wcrkers' Defense League which
helped provide equal justice for
workers, for example Negro la-
borers who might get into trouble
in the South, he added.
THE COMMITTEE has been in
existence for at least five years,
Prof. Waterman estimated. He has
supported the group for the past
two years, he said.
Prof. Shephard first heard of
the group a few months ago when
the committee asked him to serve
as a conference sponsor.
