THE MICHIGAN DAILY ?AGZ MSC Women's Dorm Invaded byIrate Men 'FINIAN'S RAINBOW'* Student Players To Open Musical Comedy Tonight By WENDY OWEN Authorities at Michigan State College have threatened to crack down on students responsible for raids Monday on the women's dorms. After pledges of a military so- ciety staged noisy drills under the coeds' windows last week, the women retaliated by serenading men's dorms. Striking back, more than 500 men raided Mary Mayo Hall, a women's dorm, with some reaching 'Town Meeting' Free Tickets Available Here Complimentary tickets for the April 24 Ann Arbor broadcast of "America's Town Meeting of the Air," a salute to the Phoenix Pro- ject, are now available at several places near campus.

Mennen Williams and Prof. Rensis Likert, director of the Institute for Social Research, in the discussion entitled "Are We Afraid of the Atomic Bomb?"

He recently co-authored a series of articles in, the Satur- day Evening Post entitled "The Grim Truth About Civilian De- fense." , the third floor before being ejected. THE "SURVIVAL of the fittest" philosophy may or may not hold true at Vassar College, but Prof. Lewis S. Feuer and three of his colleagues have lost their jobs for advocating it. According to Vassar trustees, Prof. Feuer has carried out a long standing feud with Prof. Joseph Katz (who has survived), a proponent of the "good life governed by reason" theory of Plato. Recently the two en- gaged in fisticuffs over the mat- ter. The trustees announced that Feuer has resigned and the con- tracts of three professors who stood behind him would not be renewed. YALE University students re- cently dealt Boston book-banning a sarcastic blow. The vengeful students set up the Jared Eliot exhibit, made up of books banned in the Hub city, strategically locating it in the main library. They reportedly got the best turn-out of any library exhibit since the curator had come to Yale. MEANWHILE, at the University of Colorado an extension profes- sor resigned after he refused to sign the state allegiance oath. This oath is similar to the Michigan and California o a t h s which pledge the professor to uphold the state and national constitutions, The professor, Paul J. Kermiet, refused to sign on the grounds that "such loyalty oaths encour- aged an outmoded and dangerous nationalism." This is the first instance of an instructor refusing to sign the regulation teacher's oath. Kermiet cannot work for Colorado with- out signing. His courses have been abandoned. --Daily-Burt Sapowitch DRY LAND SAILORS-Members of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps moved their sea legs into action yesterday when the entire unit moved to the drill field for the first of the weekly spring time maneuvers.

The top-flight musical comedy, presented by the Student Players, will also be performed tomorrow and Saturday nights, and at a special Saturday matinee. * * * ACCLAIMED by critics as a "musical sensation," the play is a fantasy telling the story of an Irishman and his daughter who became involved in the troubles of tobacco sharecroppers in the my- thical state of Missitucky, Women's Glee Club To Give SpringConcert Under the direction of Mrs. Samuel Estep, the Women's Glee Club will present its annual Spring Concert at 8:30 p.m. today in Pattengill Auditorium.

Included in the large cast are a professional singing group, the Dunbar Trio of Ann Arbor, a group of Ypsilanti school children and a specialty dance artist. * * * SINGING and dancing numbers highlight the show throughout, and such well-known Hit-Parade tunes as "Devil Moon," "How Are Things in Glocca Morra" and "If This Isn't Love" came from the score. Unusual staging and techni- cal effects also play an impor- tant part in the production, ac- cording to Tom Barnum, '53, stage manager. A realistic rain. bow and a glowing pot of gold are two of the unique features, Barnum revealed. Heading the cast are Vivian Mi- Ian, '51SM; Ken Rosen; Paul Hines, '51; Nancy Philbin, '52SM; and John Waller, '51.

Phone 2-2072 I I By VIRGINIA VOSS The Daily recently displayed its international appeal when it turned up as a sunshade in Siam and made its simple classification of a "college newspaper" seem somewhat inadequate. In a letter to Daily cartoonist, Bil Hampton, missionary Harry Norlander, '49, related that he had accidentally discovered one of Hampton's cartoons displayed on an apparatus serving as a sun- shade on a building in Siam. Closer inspection revealed the makeshift sunshade to be a copy of The Daily. * * * NO ONE KNOWS exactly how The Daily reached Siam, since the circulation department lists no Far Eastern addresses. Indirectly, it could have been sent by a student to interested parents or friends or taken there by a traveling student, Hampton conjectured. Though The Daily is not of- ficially sent half-way around the globe, the circulation department regularly mails a total of 300 copies to subscribers outside Ann Arbor. Some of these are ad- dressed to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Gaspe Peninsula, Canada. The bulk of the out-of-city' copies are distributed here in the United States. New York is second to Michigan in circulation with 20 Daily subscribers; Illinois and Ohio have 18 and 17 respectively. California is next highest with 13 recipients. Thirty-one other states receive less than 10 copies each. As an exchange service, The Daily also sends papers to various colleges and universities in return for copies of their publications. Almost 40 educational institutions are reached in this manner. CORRECTION!V Many people think of the CRAFT PRESS as "BIG" Printers.

Seniors To Take Straw Vote On Choice of Class Gift to 'U' Campus Printers for over 30 years I THE CRAFT PRESS A 330 Maynard Street Phone 8805 BETTER HURRY! III DON'T DELAY! S1111 I Literary college seniors will cast a straw vote this week to help de- cide what will be the gift of the Class of 1951 to the University. Wally Shapero, '51, who is di- recting the poll explained that Prof. Preuss To Talkon UN Prof. Lawrence Preuss, of the political science department, will discuss "United Nations and Ac- tion for Peace" at 7:30 p.m. today in the Union in the sceond of a lecture series under UNESCO- Union sponsorship. Prof. Preuss is an authority on international law and was an ad- visor to the American delegations at both the Dumbarton Oaks and the San Francisco conferences. The international law expert's talk will deal with the transfer of power from the Security Coun- cil to the UN Assembly, and the gradual shift from global to re- gipnal organization as exempli- fied in the North Atlantic Pact. ENSIDNS WILL BE HERE IN MRY! about 200 members of this gradu- ating class will receive question- naires concerning the method of spending the class dues. The questionnaire, according to Shapiro, will ask opinions on gifts ranging from rocks to lamp posts and endowment funds. - - - T. HAWLEY TAPPING, general alumni secretary, pointed out that the class must not leave the Uni- versity without providing some funds to aid in carrying out the class organization. He explained that a class which uses all its money for gifts, banquets and other activi- ties will usually fall apart as an' organization when it leaves the University. "The first class letter which is ordinarily sent out about two years after graduation costs the class be- tween $200 and $300," Tapping continued. "These letters are used to stir up class interest in reunions which are held every five years. "Then after 15 or 20 years when the graduates are more firmly es- tablished financially, they will be in a better position to contribute toward a gift for the University." TYPEWRITERS Repaired ...
