Mary Lubienski, '53, added visible French culture to the Cer- cle's usual conversation with a leg- gy can-can. Garbed in traditional gartered black net stockings and ruffled petti-coats she bounced gayly through a maze of card tables to the recorded tunes of "Gaite Parisienne.' HER OFFERINGS to the group also included a Mexican hat dance, 'high art' ballet and a Polish folk dance. The hat dance, performed as an encore, used a visiting pro- fessor's brown felt 'chapeau' and a chorus of Cercle l'rancais mem- bers chanting out the rhythm in the background. Miss Lubienski has danced pro- fessionally in Detroit, entertain.' ing soldiers at the USO and the Dearborn Veterans' Hospital She as also part of the Detroit Allied Festival which featured different dances from different nations. - The blonde Detroiter has no thought of continuing to dance professionally in spite of her ten years of training. She plans to onentrate in journalism next year. However, according to her dor- mitory mates, she makes good use of her dance training keeping them amused with imitations of profes- sor's mannerisms. -Daily-Jack'Bergstrom DANCER AIMS FOR THE ROOF MILITARY MATTERS- No Rest for W eary in Army Arts Group TO Present Ibsen Play "Master Builder," one of Henrik Ibsen's later and more symbolic plays, will open Friday for a week- and-a-half run at the Arts Theatre Club. The play, third in the club's spring season of six productions, is directed by Strowan Robertson while Jerry Lepard handles the scenic design. IBSEN'S WORK concerns the architect Solness and how he ul- timately brings destruction on himself. Unlike the plays for which the Norwegian playwright is most famous, "Master Builder" has more psychology than it has social con- sciousness. "His reputation as a writer of plays of social significance is one of the things which has ham- pered a full appreciation of Ib- sen's worth," Robertson said. "Ibsen got the label of a writer of socially significant plays because he hit his stride at the time the wave of social consciousness was at its peak," Robertson explained. * * * "ACTUALLY," the director con- tinued, "Ibsen went on to write more subtle and powerful dramas than his early social dramas but the early plays made his reputa- tion and that's what he's remem- bered for." Admission to the plays of the club is by membership card only although members may, for a fee, bring guests with them. A club membership costs $6; the fee for a guest is $1.25. Membership cards may be purchased at the club's theatre at 2091/2 E. Washington daily or by calling the club at 7301.

In addition to concert appear- ants the Glee Club has performed over a number of nationwide broadcasting networks. The most recent of these was a special half- hour program over NBC last Christmas,. (Editor's Note: This is the last in a series of articles describing life in the "new" Army, as seen by former Daily night editor Pete Hotton, '50. Pvt Hotton recently completed basic training at Camp Polk, La., and is currently stationed at Ft. Ord, Calif. He has promised ,Daily readers fu- ture reports on "military matters" if the opportunity permits.) * * * By PVT. PETER HOTTON After at hard day's work in the field, attending lectures, going through endless exercises and tac- tics, and often standing in line waiting for nothing, we gobbled up off-duty hours and relaxation. But finding a place for relaxa- tion was next to impossible, with the comparatively poor facilities in and around Camp Polk. And the barracks was the last place to go to relax.1 I I 4 U SOME 40 MEly were stuck on each barracks floor either in single or double-decked bunks, with a few square feet of space for clothes and footlockers. Relaxing or read- ing on bunks was quite possible, except for a few exuberant men with loud voices, a chip on their shoulder, and worst of all, radios. There were only about five, radios on the floor, but each one was usually tuned to a different station and turned up as loud as it could play. The programs lis- tened to were always "the de- light of the 45th"-hillbilly mu- sic. Radios were never tuned In on dramatic programs or any other music, and a news program was a rarity. No one seemed to care how the war was going or how the country was being run, although many of the men talked as if they knew everything there was to know about the government and the war. AND EVERY TIME I tried to sneak to the day room for a little peace and quiet, I'd find a radio there blaring out "Remember Me, I'm the One Who Loves You," by Tennessee Ernie. Aboutthe only peace available was on weekends, when most of the men were out on pass. But when we were all restricted to the post or just before payday SL To Discuss Fate of TugWeekend The fate of the Student Legis- lature's rah-rah autumn weekend, Tug Week, will be discussed at the SL meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in the League.'1 There will also be a meeting of SL candidates at 4 p.m. today in the Union. They will be shown how a bill passes through the legisla- ture. Gargoyle Campus Sale Today when everyone was broke, week- ends were just like any other nights. Bull sessions broke out at least once an evening, and they provided a sort of entertainment. Most of the men liked to argue, but they usually had loud voices and pound- ed on the table instead of the facts. Quite a few of the men were ra- bidly anti-Truman, thought that the industrialists wanted war to make more money, and hated their neighbors back home who drafted, them instead of the other guy. * * s BULL SESSIONS weren't al- ways geared to the Army or the war, however. Last fall duripg the height of the football season no one from the East, Midwest, South or West could say a word about their teams, because the Okla- homans drowned them out brag- ging about the number one team in the country, the University of Ok- lahoma. But after Oklahoma's defeat by Kentucky in the Sugar Bowl New Year's Day, plus Michigan's victory over California the same day, they didn't talk about foot- ball any more., Always good for ,alaugh in the barracks were the magazine arti- cles written with the intention of depicting for civilians Army life as it really is. Tops in this glowing journalism was an article appear- ing in the November issue of Coro- net Magazine entitled: "Good News for Parents of Today's Sol- diers." THE DRAFTEES are somewhat bitter because theyare in the in- fantry, but they fail to remember that they could have joined the Air Force or the Navy. The Na- tional Guardsmen want no part of the active service and keep insist- ing they "never volunteered for this guff." But the men who en- listed or reenlisted in the Army for three or four years don't say a word. The volunteers do get one privilege. They can sew a patch on their shoulder proclaiming them members of the "regular Army." We draftees would like a patch that says "We Wuz Robbed!" or "We're Draftees and Proud of It!" The general attitude among all the soldiers is one of disgust- toward the "new Army," which has turned out to be less tolerable than the old one, according to the vets; toward the Korean mess; toward the government's handling or mis- handling of affairs; and toward life in general. Despite all its hardships and in- justices, Army life hasn't been so bad on the draftees who were liv- ing the life of Riley only a few short months ago. But just the same, everyone dreams of a discharge, and most of us want no part of the Army, or any service, including the National Guard or Reserves, either active, inactive, organized, or disorgan- ized. "Romeo and Juliet," one of Shakespeare's greatest and most famous tragedies, will open a four night run at 8 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
