Hepburn in DetroitEngagement Vanessa Brown, stage and screen actress who is currently ap- oearing in Detroit in the Kath- erine Hepburn production of "As You Like It," was a guest at the U rniversity last week. The lovely starlet came to Ann Arbor to renew her friendship with Martha and Eugenia Wells, daughters of Prof. Carlton F. Wells of the English. department. BEGINNING her acting career at the age of 13, Miss Brown ap- peared on the screen in "The Heiress," "The Late George Appley" and "The Foxes of Har- row." Her more recent motion pic- ture performances include "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" and "The Three Husbands." "Watch on the Rhine" is one of the stage productions in which the young actress took part. At the time of the Berlin air lift she played with Con- stance Bennett before members of the armed forces in 12 Ger- man cities. During her tour of the Michigan campus Miss Brown was reminded of student life at UCLA. She graduated from UCLA in 1949 having carried a part-time pro- gram for five years while under studio contract. * * * AS AN UNDERGRADUATE she held thi position of drama critic on her college newspaper. "I know full well the meaning of an 8 o'clock," she commented, as she watched students hurry- ing to class early Friday morn- ing. Miss Brown's interests are cen- tered largely on drama, music and; literature. Her versatility was re-, cognized early as evidenced by her frequent appearances on the radio program, "Quiz Kids." KATHARINE HEPBURN hired her to play the role of Celia in "As You Like It." Miss Brown ex- pressed a deep admiration for the star of the performance, stating that her great acting ability is equalled by her dynamic person- ality. "Katharine Hepburn takes a real interest in the play," she said, "and shows concern for every member, of the cast." While touring with the company Miss Brown spends much of her spare time studying piano.

By JO KETELHUT It may have been cheaper by the dozen for the Gilbreth family, but for Mrs. Leila Vibert, Sigma Phi Epsilon housemother, it is quite a task to plan the meals and check the bills for five dozen men. ,To the Sig Eps, their girls and her many friends all over campus, Mrs. Vibert, the only full-time fraternity housemother, is fondly known as Aunt Lee. Having been a "mother away from home" to the Sig Eps since 1941, Aunt Lee has accumulated a large family along with her own two sons and five grandchildren. She keeps up an active correspon- dence, however, with many of her boys all over'the world and never fails to receive a notice of "new arrivals." .1 * * IN ADDITION to the usual house duties during her nine years as a fraternity housemother, Aunt Lee has done everything from ty- ing tricky bow ties to serving as a Saturday night canasta partner for some Sig Ep whose fiance is miles away from Ann Arbor. Among her varied activities, one of Aunt Lee's principle jobs is to chaperon all of the Sig Ep house parties and she often joins in the spirit of things by devisingesome sort of costume for herself. At a shipwreck party a few years ago, Aunt Lee amazed every- one and nearly copped the cos- tume prize by appearing in a knee-length flapper dress, leg make-up and blacked out teeth. ALTHOUGH Mrs. Vibert claims to like boys and girls equally well, she feels that she understands boys better, that being the main reason why she decided to be- come a fraternity housemother. Following her husband's death in 1938, Mrs. Vibert went to Michigan State to be house- mother for the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. When she heard, however, that the Sig Eps at Michigan were looking for a housemother, she decided to come to Ann Arbor. During the war, when the Army took over the Sigma Phi Epsilon house, Aunt Lee became house- mother for the Gamma Phi Betas. Sie decided to move back to the Sig Ep house following the end of the war. * * * "THE BOYS seemed so disap- pointed at not finding me there to welcome them and they put on a real campaign to get me back," said Aunt Lee. Whenever a Sig Ep would meet a Gamma Phi on the street he would always say, "How is our housemother." Mrs. Vibert believes that fra- ternities are becoming more housemother-minded each year, and she sincerely wishes to en- courage the idea. She feels that there are many advantages to be gained by having a woman around to help with personal and house matters and to wel- come guests. Aunt Lee finds a never-ending source of amusement in listening to a doting mother of some big, brawny, six-foot Sig Ep say to her, "Take care of my boy-and be sure to scold him when he needs it."-s s * * ONE OF the biggest thrills that Aunt Lee can remember happened on Mother's Day in 1941 when the Sig Eps presented her with their sweetheart pin on which was in- scribed, "To Aunt Lee from the Boys." Her spare minutes, which are often few, are spent in reading books from her large collection and sewing for her five grand- children.aWhen the television set arrived at the Sig Ep house last year, Aunt Lee was one of its most avid fans. She admits to being a loyal boxing enthusi- ast, but she heads for her room when the wrestlers come on the screen. Mrs. Vibert eats all meals with Read and Use Daily Classifieds the boys except breakfast and Fri- day night dinners which are strictly informal affairs. It has also been a tradition in the house for three of the men to take Aunt Lee out to dinner each Sunday night. ONCE A YEAR, during J-Hop, the Sig Eps move out and Aunt Lee has a house full of girls to look after. Her duties, then, com- pletely change from tying ties to mending hems and looking for lost purses. When graduation time rolls around eachyear, Aunt Lee sadly watches each senior depart from the group. "I feel as if my oldest sons are leaving," she said, "and I wonder if I will ever see them again." Each holiday, however, she re- ceives many gifts and cards from her boys all over the world showing that they have not forgotten the years with her in the Sig Ep house.

At that time E. W. Rice, Jr., then vice president of General Electric, said: Although our engineers have always been liberally supplied with every facility for the development of new and original de- signs and improvements of existing standards, it has been deemed wise during the past year to establish a laboratory to be devoted exclusively to original research. It is hoped by this means that many profitable fields may be discovered.
