T STJNnAF, JANUARY 9, 1950 r THE IICHIGAN DAILY TIlE MIChIGAN DAILY U SUNDAY, JANUAP~Y R, 19i~O I I ROYAL GAME INVADES CAMPUS: Chess Club Imitates Modern War with 'Kriegspiel' * * * * *. * By EVA SIMON{ Lovers of the Republic beware!I "The royal game" has invaded the campus, brought by 65 students tensely maneuvering kings, queens, knights, bishops, rooks and pawns over multi-checkered boards. The chess club, founded last No- vember by some of the more rabid adherents to the "game of kings" at the University, is busily polish- ing up its strategy. * * * SIMULATING modern warfare conditions under which neither side can see the moves of the other, several members are practicing "Kriegspiel," a special version of chess in which the opponents play on two different boards. Their sole method of com- munication is an intermediary who tells the players only whe- ther their moves are legal. However Clair Richardson, Grad., president of the chess club, staun- chly denied that the purpose of the group is to instigate a royal- ist insurrection, pointing out that Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia is an ardent chess fan. THE MAIN PURPOSE of the club, he maintained, is to develop a chess team comparable to those at Eastern colleges, which will be able to represent the University in intercollegiate competitions. Honors have already been won for the University by Mark Eu- cher, '53,who won seventh place in a field of 41 in the national intercollegiate chess tournament held over the Christmas holidays. Eucher held third place till he was beaten in the last round by the national champion. Richardson asked all interested students, regardless of their poli- tical beliefs, to attend the next meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Union. At this meeting the club will 'start a tournament to rate players preparatory to picking a chess team. The group plans to arrange ex- hibition matches by chess masters and to compete against the local teams, according to Richardson. -Daly-Alex Lmanian CHESS CHAMPS-Members of the chess club look on as Edwin Cohen, '52, left, wins a "rapid transit" tournament against runner Lawrence Fuller, '51L.

MEET MONONUCLEOSIS: College Students Sport Own Disease 'The Traitor To Start Run Wednesday Play To Be Last Offering of Term The speech department has se- lected "The Traitor" as its final presentation of the semester be- cause its issues are timely and it provides good post-war melo- dramatic theatre, Prof. Hugh Norton, director of the play, ex- plained yesterday. Written by Herman Wouk, "The Traitor" will open at 8 p.m. Wednesday for a four night run at Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. * * * ONE OF THE chief themes of the play concerns the problem of academic freedom and the issues arising over the circulation of loyalty questionnaires in a large Eastern university. The conflict centers around a much-respected professor of philosophy who believes in ab- solute academic freedom, but is thrown into doubt about his own ethical principles when he witnesses the results of their misapplication. "The Traitor" is a thesis melo- drama, that type of play which raises problems but doesn't at- tempt to resolve them, Prof. Nor- ton said. "Its object is to en- courage the audience to figure out their own solution." PLAYS OF this nature are characteristic of post-war periods, he added. Prof. Norman E. Nelson of the English department praised "The Traitor" for its attempt to present "moral issues con- cerning all the United States and particularly people in aca- demic communities." Prof. Nelson, who last summer attacked the National Education Association's statement calling for the banning of communist teach- ers, declared that Americans must learn to discriminate be- tween those people who are ac- tually enemies of the government and those whose ideas are not en- tirely in accord with government policies. He deplored the current ten- dency to suspect individuals not living up the "the 100% Ameri- canism of J. Parnell Thomas." Commending "The Traitor" for its attempt to stimulate thought on the problem, Prof. Nelson warned that it is not easy to draw the line in matters of aca- demic freedom, and even less easy to hue to it. "The important thing is that we be just," he con-z cluded. Many good jobs are available for men and women interested in making a career of Chamber of Commerce and Trade Association work, according to John C. Beukema and Otis F. Cook. Beukema, secretary-manager of the Muskegon Chamber of Com- merce, told students there is a demand for creative persons with a real interest in building up their cities. * * * HE CITED leadership, organi- zational skill, and judgment as necessary qualifications for a successful career. Salaries in the Chamber of Commerce vary according to the size of the city, he said. Be- ginning salaries in a city with a poPulation from five to ten t _. I - CC Job Openings Still Available Says Beukema I thousand are around $300 a month. Experienced men are paid from $6,000 to $15,000 a year. Cook, secretary-manager of the Michigan Retailers Association said there is a need for men and women with specialized training in trade association work, as well as much general knowledge of economics and political science. The trade associations do much more work in the field of public relations than the Chamber of Commerce, Cook said. The Chamber of Commerce, as defined by Beukema, is "an or- ganization of the forward-looking citizens of the community de- voted to promoting the civil, commercial and industrial wel- fare of the community." Thomas To Speak On MonerPolicies Woodlief Thomas, Economic Advisor to the Board of Gover- nors of the Federal Reserve Sys- tem, will speak on the current problems and procedures of mone tary policy before the Economics Club at 7:15 tomorrow in tho' Rackham Ampitheatre. ~~------ PORTABLES LEATHER GOODS STATIONERY FOUNTAIN PENS at MORRILL'S 314 S.

It is infectious mononucleosis- formerly known as glandular fev- er. ** * THERE ARE between 100 and 200 cases at the University every year, according to Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, head of the University iealth Service. It is assumed that the dis- ease attacks college students be- cause of their age group and the fact that they live so closely to- gether. =r 7e C ia6eth t/hop S. State St., Just off N. U. ...GREATEST But once college students shared the disease with a similar age group - the army, who had an epidemic of it at Fort Bliss a few years ago. * * * ONLY FATAL IN very rare in- stances, infectious mononucleosis is most often characterized by a sore throat, irregular fever and en- larged lymph glands, according to Dr. Chris J. D..Zarafonetis of the University Hospital and Simpson Institute, who has been engaged in research on the disease. The disease lasts from a few days to several weeks, he added. But many patients suffer a long period of convalescense during which they suffer from general weakness and frequent fatigue, making the problem "a significant health, academic and economic problem to many students and ed- ucational institutions," according to Dr. Zarafonetis. * * * DR. FORSYTHE reported that one third to one half of the Uni- versity students who get the dis- ease are hospitalized. Sulfa drugs, penicillin and streptomycin have been tried on infectious mononucleosis with no benefit, Dr. Zarafonetis said. Aureomycin and chloromycetin are now being tried, but it is too early to elaborate on the re- sults, he added. Cause of the disease, by its be- havior, i~s generally thought to be a virus, but since proof is lacking, due to the difficulty of isolating the virus, the cause is - still known, Dr. Zarafonetis said. * * * * un-I "SCIENCE HAS not been able to artificially transmit the disease, although experiments even on hu- man volunteers have been con- ducted," he continued. It is us- ually thought of as a contagious disease, he added. Infectious mononucleosis is a great actor, not infrequently varying its symptoms from the most common ones. It can re- semble almost anything, includ- ing pneumonia, jaundice and diseases of the central nervous system which result in paralysis. However there are two reliable methods of identifying the disease. One is by observing a change in the white blood cells. The other involves the detection of an antibody which develops in the blood of patients or convales- cents of the disease. This anti- body causes the blood of the pa- tient to cause a clumping of sheep red blood cells when brought in contact with it. Research on the disease's cause and cure has been in progress for about 20 years, both in the Univer- sity Health Service and the Simp- son Institute, which has concen- trated on the blood test aspects of the disease. General research on the disease dates back to about 1920, when attention was first called to the white blood cell change. The sheep blood test was dis- covered in 1932, Dr. Zarafonetis reported.
