TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1950 THE MICHIGAN DAILY VERBAL BATTLES TO BEGIN: Elections To Activate Young Politicians PLANNERS RELAX: Atom Day Will Spark Phoenix Drive Opening ti SCRIPT TO BE CHOSEN: Overbeck Struggles with Union Opera Political activity gets students down out of their ivory towers, according to Fran Wakman, '52L, president of the Young Demo- crats. The YD's, along with the Young Republicans and Young Progressives represent the various hues in the campus political rain- bow. The three groups are now gathering ammunition for pre- election battles. YD's CONTRIBUTION, - Mrs. Wagman said, will include door- bell ringing, speech making and all kinds of campaigning for the Democratic ticket. "We hope," she added, "that if the Young Republicans are willing we can engage them in a series of debates pertinent to the election campaign. We would especially welcome a de- bate on the Communism-in- the-administration issue. The first Young Democrat ac- tivity will be a meeting Thursday for anyone interested in joining YD or in helping the campaign of Prof. John P. Dawson, of the Law School, Democratic candi- date for Congress from the sec- ond Michigan district. The meet- ing will be held at the home of Mrs. Margaret Price, second dis- trict Democratic committee chair- man. Transportation will be available at 7:15 p.m. Thursday in front of the Union. . * s THE YOUNG Republicans, ac- cording to Howard Hartzell, '52, vice-president of YR, also plan a lively schedule of public discus- sion and debate concerning the campaign issues of 1950. Their program is still somewhat nebu- lous at the moment, however. "We want to bring some of the prominent candidates to Ann Arbor, but that's all ten- tative," Hartzell said. Also on the roster of- YR's fall activities is revision of the club's constitution and of its Opportun- ity State platform. * * * THE YOUNG Progressives are on activities probation for the fall semester. Since this consists only of a warning from the Stu- dent Affairs Committee, the club has planned a full round of ac- tivities nevertheless. Gordon MacDougall, '52, YP chairman, revealed that the Kor- ean situation and the McCarran' anti-Communist legislation are the issues on which YP's atten- tion will the centered this fall. "Our first meeting will be devoted to orientation on the McCarran a n t i - Communist bill," MacDougall said. The time and place will be announc- ed in the DOB within a few days. "In connection with the Mc- Carran bill, we'll also discuss the .recent bill passed by the Legis- lature creating a 12-man com- mission to investigate so-called subversive activities," MacDoug- all added. First major step in the Univer- sity's huge plan to turn the dreaded atomic bomb into a use- ful source of energy will be tak- en Monday when a special Atom Day program will be devoted to the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project. The program will serve as a kick-off for the $6,500,000 fund raising campaign. A memorial to students and alumni of the University killed in World War II, project funds will be used to develop peace time ap- plications of atomic energy. * * * FINISHING touches for Mon- day's program of top national speakers, special meetings and symposia are still being added. Plans for the student and fa- culty drives which begin Nov. 10 were made during the summer.

All drives are expected to be completed by the first of of the year. The idea for the Phoenix Pro- ject itself was the suggestion of former student Fred J. Smith of New York who predicted that the project would make the Univer- sity' the greatest peace-time at- omic energy research center in the world. With the approval of the Board of Regents and the blessings of the Atomic Energy Commission, the plans for the drive were push- ed ahead at top speed. * * * BY DECEMBER, 1948, the fa- culty planning committee, under the direction of Dean Ralph Saw- yer, had made to University staff members the initial grant for re- search with atomic materials. Since then $120,000 has been allocated to - University re- searchers from project funds. When the fund - campaign is completed this winter, $4,550,000 will be ear-marked to finance re- search in atomic science. The re- mainder will be used to build the memorial building with an audi- torium, library study rooms and laboratories. F . * THE DRIVE is under the di- rection of Chester H. Lang, '15, who has been guiding plans for the big push since his appoint- ment in the spring of 1948. Student and faculty drives are directed by Marvin Lubeck, '51, and Prof. William Haber. Lubeck heads the large student organiza- tion which is working. out de- tails of the campus drive. Expansion of the investiga- tions by University experts into every scientific and social phase of atomic power for peaceful uses depends on the success of the drive, officials say. Paid Advertisement CAREFUL, MEN ! YOUR SLIP IS SHOWING A knothole in a ball park fence could not create more curiosity than the peak hole in the window of the new Laun- dromat -Half - Hour -Laundry which is located at 1327 S. Uni- versity. As I craned my neck to see over the shoulders of two wom- en who were. working overtime at the peak hole, I heard re- marks that may mean a new kind of housewives' rebellion. "I'm junking my old washer the day this place opens," and, "John doesn't know it, but he will soon be bringing our weekly washing down here. When it's so easy I don't see why men- folks can't help with the laun- dry. Feeling sympathetic for this John person, I decided to inves- tigate further. I asked Mr. De Varti, the owner of this new self-service laundry, if he was proposing to open a business that would place the age-old burden of washday on the shoulders of men. And if so, who does he think he is. I was being overcome with visions of aproned men scrubbing, rins- ing and wringing out moun- tains of dirty clothes, when the discussion was taken over by Mr. De Varti. According to Mr. De Varti, these self - service half - hour laundries make washing as easy as a trip to the library. All you do is bring your laundry in, dump it in a coin-operated Laundromat Automatic Washer and forget about it. At the end of a half hour it's ready to take home -- washed, rinsed and spun practically dry. If you want it bone dry, all you do is toss it in an automatic dryer and in a matter of minutes it's ready to be ironed or stored. "That's all there is to it," re- plied Mr. De Varti. Now as a rule I am not of a suspicious nature, but when I am told that there is a move- ment afoot to dump washday in my lap then I become skeptical of how easy it's going to be. As would any red-blooded Ameri- can man. So, unfearful of my little woman's wrath I shall stand on my constitutional rights and insist that women be the first to try this so-called, "workless way to wash." Then, if it's as easy as it sounds, I'm sure they won't mind doing the washing By BOB KEITH Gene Overbeck has a job on his hands. Starting almost from scratch, Overbeck, a determined, medium- built senior from St. Louis, has set out on a project which will eventually engulf the entire cam- pus. s * s HIS TASK: turning out the next Michigan Union Opera at the end of March. - Written, produced and acted exclusively by men students, the traditional Union Opera takes a lot of spadework, planning and organization. That's where Overbeck comes in. Picked last semester as general manager of the next show, he has been hard at work all summer studying scripts, lining up an executive staff and trying to plan the Opera's road tour next spring. OVERBECK issued a call for scripts this spring and eight were submitted. "These scripts will be forwarded to last year's director and to one faculty member for final screening, and the winning script will be selected within about two weeks," Overbeck said. With that problem nearly out of the way, another has cropped up: choosing men to head the executive committee. "I thought I had them fairly well lined up last spring," Overbeck confined, "But two of my best men flunk- ed out of school." Nevertheless he expects to name a committee within a few weeks, subject to approval by the Michi- HOME OF GOOD FOOD is now open for business. Serving ir $1.00 DINNERS 0V ..UYalso...

No official word has been reported, but a strong possibility for the spot is Bill Holbrook, the New York professional who did an impressive job directing last year's production and reportedly has shown a willingness to return. At any rate the director won't show up until rehearsals start at the beginning of next se- mester. Until then Overbeck will be in complete charge. Fully cognizant of his heavy re- sponsibilities, Overbeck nonethe- less displays considerable confi- dence.
