THE MICHIGAN DAILY COLLEE RONDUP COLLEGE ROUNDUP: Campus Movie Location Intrigues Cal Students FEMALE DIRECTOR CLAIMS: Women Equal Men - By JOEL MCKIBLE ne field in which a woman can: As Thespians .O By DAVE CRIPPEN Life was just as real but not quite as earnest on the na- tion's campuses last week-prob- lems present smacked less of weight and more of froth than us- ual. Even on the strife-torn campus of the University of California at Berkeley-where the faculty oath controversy has been raging for months - something less than world-shaking was occupying the spotlight. THE OATH FIGHT was still chugging along, but students were more interested in whether uni- versity authorities would grant Red Feather Drive To Open Tomorrow The little fellow who has shown the nation some new tricks in pi- ano technique will be at Hill Audi- torium tomorrow night., Sugar Chile Robinson, child boogie pianist, well-known for his vigorous use of fists and elbows in his keyboard exercises is sche- duled to appear at the Red Fea- ther Rally scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the auditorium. * * * THE RALLY, which will kick- off this year's $136,000 Community Chest campaign, will feature a number of other acts, including Adele Hager, '51 and Beverly Ols- zgnski '51. Rounding out the en- tertainment will be the Lyra Male Chorus and the Ann Arbor High School Band. The rallyis strictly for un, ac- cording to Prof. Edw a r d Hamm, campus chairman of the drive.,There will be no ad- mission charge and definitely no solititation of funds. MGM permission to make a film. on campus., Some of Mayer's men, it seems, had visited Berkeley the previous week to check on using it as a background for a romance in which two "young" college professors woo and try to win a coed. The distaff side of the campus was especially intrigued by the studio's announcement that play- ing the youthful instructors would be John Hodiak, about 35 years old, and Ray Milland, 44 years old. Chances for university approval of the project seemed bright. George A. Pettit, assistant to Cali- fornia President Sproul, who han- dled the negotiations with the company, said he thought that permission would be granted. AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIN- NESOTA affairs were taking a fanciful flight. The next session of the Minne- sota legislature will pick an off i- cial bird for the state of 10,000, lakes-hitherto birdless. To help the legislators, the Minnesota stu- dent paper conducted a poll of pro- fessors on campus and found them overwhelmingly pro-loon. "I admit that I'm an avid sup- porter of the loon," Prof. Wil- liam H. Marshall, of the zoology department said enthusistically. "One associates the bird im- mediately,' he went on to ex- plain, "with the wilderness area which is Minnesota's unique drawing card." The other instructors polled were also for the loon, most of them for the same reason. But there was one who claimed that the loon was a versatile bird-that it was near- ly as much at home in the cities as it was in the lake wilderness. The returns from the faculty were in. Now it only remained to be seen whether the legislature would be as looney as the instruct- ors. do as good a job as a man is the' theatre, according to Marie Miller director of the Student Players new production, "Light Up The. Sky."t 'I am thoroughly convinced thatt the theatre is a wonderful field for' women." Many of the feminine at. tributes such as sympathy, inter est in people, an artistic feelint' amc the ability to weld a, group tc gether are useful and neceysar. for the direction of a play. she added * * * IN HER CAPACITY as director for the new production, Mrs. Mil- ler said, "after a great many yearn of directing throughout the noun try, I find the Student Players a most cooperative group. They haf earnestness .of purpose and af wiUl- ingness to work together th4tde- lights a director's heart." "Most of them are inexper- enced actors who, learning their 'trade' are nevertheless turning in some very fine performances," she added. When speaking of the backstage crew Mrs. Miller's- praise was very high "Some have had stock ex- perience, some are completely in- experienced, but by pooling their resources we hope to have a fine show technically," Don Hawley, '51, has designed and executed the set, which Mrs. Miller termed "beautiful" and "well designed." *.* * ONE OF THE PROBLEMS Ion- fronting her when casting for the play was that out of the one hun- dred tryouts that appeared she ........... Approval of Appointments made Known Three appointments were ap- proved by the Board of Regents at their October meeting yesterday. Prof. Edward L. Walker was named acting chairman of the psy- chology department for the *first semester of the current academic year. He will fill this position dur- ing the absence on leave of Prof. Donald L. Marquis. Prof. Marquis will spend the se- mester at the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology working on a project for the State Depart-, ment. + " ALSO APPOINTED at the Board meeting was Dorothy Schroeder as assistant professor of social work in the, Institute of Social Work, effective Jan. 1, 1951. Dr. Henry Gilbert was named research psychologist in the Insti- tute for Social Research for a per- iod of 10, months beginning last Monday. The resignation of Prof. John A. Perkins as professor of political science and assistant provost was accepted by the Regents to be ef- fective Oct. 31. toozoncl oC.ijte t' . with LEAH MARKS For those who enjoy good com- edy shows, Tuesday is the night to sit back and listen to two of the best. The only hitch is that the "Bob Hope Show" and "Life with Luigi" both reach the airwaves at 9 p.m. on WWJ and WJR respectively. There is usually little difficulty in deciding which to hear, how- ever, since each appeals to its own special type of audience. . s t "LIFE WITH LUIGI" is com- posed mainly of situational comedy and character humor; Bob Hope's prograh is filled with seemingly spontaneous and witty chatter which digs for belly laughs. Bob Hope has returned to the airwaves for the twelfth year with a much-needed new format. The wisecracks are no longer chiefly local jokes, understood only by the "live" audience, Hope is keeping his show more in line vwith national humor. There are less skits and more fun. This is probably because the old standbys Jerry Colonna and Vera Vague are not there to for- tray stock characters in poor sketches. A group of immigrants who have recently come to the land of -ree dom form the cast for "Life with- Luigi" which gives the audienci an insight into a, kind of life it knowg little about with some 'chuckles thrown in. Business letters frighten Luigi and his friend Pasquale agrees to straighten out the trouble if Luigi will marry his daughter. This slim plot forms the ,sell for comedy concerning Luigi pwjb wants to do everything cor ectly and ,hardly ever succeeds. Other Good Comedy Shows: Today 7 p.m. WJR-Jack Benny Show 8:30 p.m.-Red Skelton Show J 7 -Daily-Burt Sapowitch SCRIPT STUDY-Marie Miller, director, and Burt Sapowitch, 51, producer and president of the Student Players, check the script for their fall production of Moss Hart's riotous comedy "Light Up The Sky." . # . . . T had to choose eleven students. "Lots of good people couldn't be used. We could have cast the show three times," she said. About the play itself Mrs. Mil- ler was very enthusiastic. "It is good, bright comedy about the theatre, and good-humoredly pokes fun at theatre people. It is one of the best comedies writ- ten in recent years." The play's popularity is eviaent in that "Light Up The Sky" was one of the red-hot summer stock productions. i IN ADDITION to her work as director for the Student Players, Mrs. Miller has a radio show which originates from Ann Arbor. It is an interview type program. Some of her recent guests haver been Adolph Menjou and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. "Light Up The Sky" will oe given on Oct. 26, 27, and 28 in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Tickets are priced at $1.00, 90 cents and 60 cents. Reduced rates on all seats and stage stars appeared in star- ring roles.

Communists find some of their easiest targets among disillusioned and frustrated people, ,according to Prof. William Clark Trow of the psychology department. Prof. Trow, speakingbefore the Southwestern Michigan UNESCO conference in Kalamazoo yester- day, explained that it is these lonely persons who fall prey to Two Students Die In Highway Crash Two Owosso youths, John Ding- wall and Gerald Hinspeter, the first a University student, were killed yesterday in a car-truck col- lision on U.S. 12 between Jackson and Ann Arbor. Their deaths pushed the death toll on Michigan highways for the early part of the weekend to nine, a total which traffic officials said was far above normal.
