T ermed'Good Safe Job'
i
By SALLY GOULDTHORPE
"A good safe job" is what the
sure-footed crew of steeple jacks
call working 150 feetabove the
ground to repair the smoke stack
on the University Heating Plant.
"Walking on a narrow cat walk,
suspended only by a half-inch
cable, is as safe as working on
the ground if the proper safety
precautions are observed," foreman
Joe Einoder, a veteran of nearly
30 years of working in the high
altitudes, explained.
Two University radio programs
have won awards at the 15th
American Exhibition of Educa-
tional Radio Programs.
"International R o u n d table,"
presented by the University Broad-
casting Service and conducted by
Hiru Shah, Grad., won ,honors in
the class for furthering interna-
tional understanding.
And the Speech Department's
"Angell Hall Playhouse" won an
award in the cultural classifica-
tion.
"Angell Hall Playhouse" fea-
tures half-hour scripts written
and acted by students. The play
entered in the competition was
"Browning Duet," adapted by
Hazen Schumacher, Grad.
The exhibition is sponsored by
the Institute for Education by
Radio-Television which meets an-
nually at Ohio State University.
Generation Goes

The final issue of Generation,

tributions of short stories, poetry,
drama, prose, fiction and music.
This issue will introduce several
new authors to readers such as
Jack, Ferris, Grad., Hopwood

Thomason the Barber" will ap-
pear.

THE 150 FOOT stack is just a
little one to this German-born
foreman who has repaired stacksa
as high as 450 feet.
"We don't even bother to bringl
our electric equipment for hoist-;
ing up materials on little ones
like this," he explained.
Einoder admitted that even+
these small stacks sway in the
wind while they are working, butl
it is just one of the many things1
men in this profession become ac-4
customed to.
THE THREE MAN crew is now
doing a job referred to as "tuck
pointing" which will insure the life
of the stack and protect it from
weathering. This involves cutting
out all the mortar between the
bricks and replacing it with fresh
cement.
A more serious weather prob-
lem is the winter ice and snow
which renders such a hazardous
job impossible. Chimney workers
solve this by migrating South in
the winter and working on
Northern chimneys during spring
*nd summer months.
"Men always walk in the same
direction when on catwalks as an
added safety precaution," the burly
foreman pointed out. "It may
mean a few extra steps, but it
keeps one from becoming con-
fused."
ROBERT W. HODGES, chief en-
gineer of the Heating Plant, ex-
plained that the smoke stacks are
inspected each year by various
companies who specialize in such
work, and repairs are then sug-
gested if necessary.
This job marks the first time in
six years repairs have been made
on the stacks at the University
Heating Plant.

Arts Group
To Present
French Play
Arts Theatre Club members
viewing "Phaedra," which opens
omorrow, are going to see "a work
within a tradition quite foreign to
the American theatre," according
to director Strowan Robertson.
Written by Jean Racine, "Phae-
dra," the last play in this year's
Arts Theatre season, is the story of
a mother Phaedra, and her love
for her step-son, Hippolytus. His
rejection of her advances leads her
to accomplish his destruction,
when remorse overcomes her and
she kills herself.
* *
"ALTHOUGH "PHAEDRA" is
called 'the Hamlet of the French
theatre'," Robertson said, "the
concepts of tragedy in the two
different cultures are so vastly dif-
ferent that it has often been said
that the play is impossible upon
the English-speaking stage."
Written while Racine was the
court tragedian of Louis XIV,
the play shows his strict ad-
herence to Classical Aristotelian
unities of time, place and action.
The problen of production
"goes beyond one of mere
translation," Robertson explained,
"though it is true that the verse is
as essential to this play as Shake-
speare's is to his plays."

MEMBERSHIPS for the next
Arts Theatre Club season are pres-
ently being accepted at Whar's
book 'store, Bob Marshall's book,
store, and the -Music Center. The
$5 membership entitles the pur-
chaser to attend one performance
of each play produced.
As yet next year's fare has not
been selected, but promises of the
type of variety shown this year are
encouraging many to join the fast
growing drama club.

'U' Pershing Rifle Men
Practice Marching Drills

If you happen to see a group of
young cadets conscientiously

New Division,
A dded to ROTC
A new ROTC division, the Fi-
nance Corps, has been installed at
the University, Maj. George E.
Rippey, public information officer
of the ROTC has announced.
"This division is intended pri-
marily for those ROTC students
majoring in business and law. It
will give them the opportunity to
use their scholastic work directly]"
Maj. Rippey said.
"IN EFFECT, this gives an extra
branch to the ROTC, although it
is a program for commissioning
people in finance," he explained.
"There will be no military faculty
here for this corps."
Those selected to serve will at-
tend a Finance Corps ROTC sum-
mer camp for training and subse-
quent appointment in the Finance
Corps. They will attend this in-
stead of the regular ROTC summer
camp.
Selection through interviews will
be made from those men now en-
rolled in the first year advanced
course of ROTC.
The University was one of 25
schools in the United States elect-
ed to participate in this program.

Senior Case
Club Judges
Announced
The Case Clubs of the Law
School have announced the ap-
pointment of senior judges for next
year's freshman and junior case
club competition.
They are: Robert A. Deane, pre-
siding judge, Jerry W. Ryan,
Michael Mogan; David Tolan
William M. Saxton; George W.
Walsh; Richard G. Patrick; Arthur
L. Biggins; Harold S. Lentz;
Thomas D. Allen; Wilbur M.
Brucker; Scott Elder; Laurence L.
Spitters; William Gump; Joseph E.
Stevens; Dean Olds; Francis J.
Pruss; Marvin G. Johnson; and
James I. Huston.
* * *
THE APPOINTEES will be sen-
ior law students next year and were
selected on the basis -of points ac-
cumulated during their freshman
and junior law years in case club
trials.
Each judge will preside in
hearings of trials in his own club.
There are about 40 members in
each of the 16 case clubs and
each group averages about 9
cases a year.
In each'trial, the student judges
will be hearing the argument of a
hypothetical case designed to give
the competitors experience in ap-
pellate action. The student lawyer,
must go through the same pro-
cedure any attorney does in ap-
pealing a case from a lower court.
THE JUDGES, who are assigned
by a faculty advisor in the junior
trials, give points to the contes-
tants on the basis of their oral
and written presentations.
These points ultimately deter-
mine who will participate in the
Campbell Competition, which is
judged by a distinguished panel
of jurists from all over the coun-
try.
The case clubs were begun 26
years ago in order to give law stu¢
dents actualicourt room experience
All case club trials are open to the
public.
the life of a Pershing Rifleman is
not merely one of rigid drill and
discipline, although drill does con-
stitute the major schedule for a
member of this honorary society.
COMPOSED OF about forty-two
active members selected from those
first and second year students who
are outstanding in military ser-
vice or have an average of "B" or
better, Pershing Rifle men have
found that this society gives them
a better insight into military life
and its activities.
Besides the regular drill prac-
tices every week Pershing Rifle-
men serve as leaders in both
military and campus functions.
At present they are preparing to
compete with Pershing Rifle
squads from other schools over
the midwest in a meet here Sat-
urday.
The society practices special
drills which they present at these
various functions. Among these
are the "Queen's Manual" drill,
the "Old Time" drill, and the
"Monkey" drill. They practice two,
and one-half hours a week and
strive for precision comparable to
that of the Marching Band.
MANY EXTRA HOURS spent by
the officers go into each one of
these drills. Each man's every step
and movement must be mapped
out beforehand. This often takes
more paper work than many big
dances, Jim McNalley, captain of
the Pershing Rifles commented.
But everything does not al-
ways go according to schedule
when the squad is piracticing. On
one occasion an officer carrying
a sabre suddenly realized that
his column was marching out a
door straight towards some
parked cars. Forgetting the
length of his column he rushed
out the door, jabbing an espe-
cially husky Pershing Rifleman
as he did so.
A long howl ensued' Which could
be heard at quite some distance.
In addition to the meet Satur-
day, Pershing Riflemen will drill
as a special unit during the parade
May 19 for Amed Forces Day, anc
will also parade June 1 in Detroil
at Briggs Stadium for a High
School ROTC Field Meet.
