SUNDAY, MAY 20, 1951 'TEN MTTTA' LY PAGE TIMES s _ ._s .ass z ,. as.s '. , PaGE ThREEsav~a India Wheat Petition Still "There's still hope for the suc- cess of the Wheat-for-India peti- tion if student response continues to surge uphill as it did yester- day," Leah Marks, '52, SL mem- ber-at-large, said yesterday. "Interest began to wane after the Senate passed the Wheat-for- India bill. Students seemed to think that our petition had be- come outdated. But after the Daily article appeared explaining the actual situation, things began to pick up again." * * * THE WHEAT-FOR-INDIA peti- tion with its 5,000-name goal was primarily designed to combat the expected opposition to the bill in i the House rather than the Senate, Miss Marks said. The bill is slated! to appear before the House next Tuesday. "We're racing against time;, trying to get everything com- pleted before 3 p.m. Monday. We've also sent copies of the petition to about 40 different colleges and universities asking their support. Their response has been most encouraging." } Some of the colleges and uni- versities that have rallied to the support of the Wheat-for-Indial petition are Wayne, Antioch, Sy- racuse, Cornell, Watermargin and MacAlester. * * * THE. WHEAT-FOR-INDIA pe- tition was drawn up by the SL, SRA and the local UNESCO chap- ter as a result of a recent trek to Washington made by SRA mem- bers. "We do appreciate the coopera- tion of all those who have dis- tributed and signed the petitions thus far," Miss Marks said. "And our title page includes many pro- minent citizens, among them President Ruthven and Provost Adams. "But we must have the rest of the petitions before 3 p.m. to- morrow if they're to be effective a at all." Group To Plan July Conference The planning committee for a Conference on Rehabilitation of the Handicapped Worker Over Forty is meeting at the University ..i today to make plans for the fourth annual conference on problems of aging to be held here in July. The need for increasing the la- bor force to meet defense produc- tion plans is the purpose of study- ing rehabilitation problems at this time. I 'Ens ian Out Tomorrow BURMA HEIGHTS-"Burma," a prodigious pachyderm who came to town with a transient circus, gets a preview of the 1951 'Ensian. Towering on top of the animal are Dave Palmer, '52, Neale Tra- ve, '52, and Sally Gnau, '53. Distribution of the new 'Ensian will take place tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Tuesday from 12 to 5 p.m. at the Student Publications Bldg. Receipts are requested, What's Up In the Dorms (Any items of interest concerning any dormitory, cooperative or league house may be submitted to Harriet Tepperman at the Daily, 2-3241, or at 342 Mosher Hall, 3-1561.) The Dorm Survey questionnair- es which this week will be tabula- ted by the individual house coun- cils are being carefully watched by dorm residents this week. Drawn up by the survey com- mittee, headed by Dave Gutten- tag, '53E, with the aid of Kermit K. Schooler, Assistant Study Di- rector of the University Research Center, the questionnaires were distributed to dorm residents last Thursday. AFTER THE individual tabu- lation, the committee will tabulate and correlate the all-over results, again with the aid of the Uni- versity Research Center. This Dorm Survey is the first to canvass the opinion of all the campus residence halls. The results will be presented to the Board of Governors as "con- strucitve criticism" of the food, facilities and staff in the dorm system. Because the administration has announced a $40 raise in dormi- tory fees, the committee hopes the survey will be able to secure improvement in the near future. * * * THE MAN and woman who will be the student representatives to the residence hall Board of Gov- ernors are also in the dorm lime- light this week-end. At a meeting of the combined quad councils in the East Quad council room last week, Bill Marcou, '52, beat out Bob Wag- ner, '52, of the East Quad and. Henry Piasecki, '51, of the West Quad for the position. He will succeed Carl Hasselwander, '51. Marcou and the woman who will succeedNan Holman, '51, as the women's representative will serve as members of the Board of Governors for the year '51-'52. Prior to a few years ago, the students were not representaed on the Board of Governors, and had no voice in residence hall admin- istration.

Actress Abhors Modern Plays By DONNA HENDLEMAN Lucille Watson is an actress who likes to stay away from the the- atre in her spare time. "Present-day plays leave me distressed," Miss Watson, a grand lady of the stage, said yesterday. They betray the social and ani- mal habits of people, and invar- iably carry a message. * * *. MAGNETIC Miss Watson is the star of the second Drama Season play, "Ring Around the Moon"' which will open Tuesday at Lydia' Mendelssohn ,Theatre for its first' post-Broadway run. She and fea- ture players Brenda Forbes and Donald Buka revealed some of their ideas at an informal inter-j view. Miss Watson, who will cele- brate her 77th birthday this week, recalled the days when the plays of manners and modes were In vogue. "We hardly ever have' a drawing room comedy anymore," she remarked, "and if we do, there is invariably a message tucked away some- where." None of the three expressed any special preferance for roles. * * 9 BUKA, WHO got his start a few years ago under the patronage of the Lunts, is game for any kind of a good role. The winner of the New York Drama Critics Award in 1946 for the most promising young actor of the year, he has portrayed every type from a Hol- lywood gangster to an idealistic poet. As for Miss Watson, the last role is always her favorite. During her long career she has played in fifty plays and innu- merable movies. "In my twenties I was typed," she recalled, "as a frivolous so- ciety woman who. always stole someone else's husband. A play never ended until I had been roared and pounced at by a righteously indignant rival." * * * , COMMENTING ON the oppor- tunities for people to break into the theatre, the actors deplored the lack of stock companies in the United States. "The opportunities are much greater in Englan4 where stock companies in almo, every district provide a wonderful training ground for young peo- ple," Miss Forbes noted. Touring, a vital aspect in most actors' lives, was looked upon differently by Miss Watson and her young co-workers. "I think it is hideous," the grey-haired dowager asserted. "It can make you feel so hemmed in." Miss Forbes was all for it, how- ever. "It's a wonderful experi- ence," she said. "I don't even mind one-night stands."

'MOON' TO COME OUT: COLLEGE ROUND-UP: Bookies, 'McCarthyism' High light College Scene By HARLAND BRITZ Winding up an expose of gamb- ling in New Haven, Yale's Daily News decided this week that most of the rackets were now thriving on the Eli campus. To prove its case, the News grumbled vaguely of continuous poker games under the very roof of venerable Wright Hall, a dormi- tory. * What was even worse, intoned the News, was that those who feel "the gambling urge uncon- querable" can do their betting in the very shadow of Eli Yale's statue. One freshman, the paper re- . 1 a OI ported, had discovered in trans- forming his patronage that he was being cheated by downtown bookies and now places his bets solely with a sophomore bookie. The soph, the News added, will make books on anything but the "daily double" and is doing a thriving business. * * * SEN. JOE McCarthy went back to his alma mater, the University of Wisconsin, this week and gave the Madison campus a dose of the kind of verbiage now commonly known as "McCarthyism." Students heckled, whistled, aplauded and booed as the sen- ator lambasted what he called "the crimson clique in the gov- ernment who are selling Ameri- ca out to the Communists." He then cooled off-and so did the audience. WOMEN'S RIGHTS took a beat- ing at Illinois where 11 feminist members of the Association for the Review of Contemporary Lit- erature boycotted the club's meet- ing. They demanded equal status with male members. Clamping down on the recal- citrants, the 13 male members quickly invited 11 sorority wo- men who lacked an aversion to "inferior status" to their next meeting. Discovering by "sheer coinci- dence" that the Illini coeds were eligible for membership they duly initiated all of them.
