PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1951 I .~ TIME TO HOWL: This Week 'Gone to Cats' As Nation Lauds Felines By MIKE SCHERER Tom Cat and Company are hav- ing their chance to howl this week both in Ann Arbor and all parts of the nation. This week, Monday through Sunday, has been proclaimed Na- tional Cat Week and has been de- dicated to the preservation and en- couragement of that breed. According to the American Fe- line Society, cats have enjoyed an amazing rise in popularity over the past six years. Since 1945 they have cat-apulted from twelfth to second place in the pet popularity poll. HOWEVER, University fratern- ClevelanderS To Organize To Start Third Year on Campus The last of the "city clubs" will begin its third year of activity to- day as the Cleveland Club holds a reorganizational meeting at 7:30 p.m. in Rm. 3D of the Union. Originally organized in the spring of 1949 by Neal Traves, '52, and Lois Eisele, '51, the club aims to bring together socially the more than 200 University students from Cleveland and the large alumni group in that city. Several parties both in Ann Ar- bor and in Cleveland are usu- ally given by the club, includ- ing a big Christmas dance. The club also arranged bus trips home at vacation time. All students from Cleveland and adjacent areas are invited to at- tend tonight's meeting by Jules Belkin, '53 BAd, club treasurer. Belkin especially urges freshmen to attend the gathering. New Peace Group To Organize Today An organizational meeting for a new campus peace committee will meet at 7:30 tonight in Rm. 3KL of the Union. The group, organized by several students will discuss future action and formulate a definite stand on several political issues. Among the suggested topics for discussion and future action are U.S.-Franco alliance, West Ger- man Rearmament, Censorship at Lane Hall, and U.M.T. ity houses, noted for the wide var- iety of pets they adopt, slight the feline family in favor of more com- panionable dogs and parakeets. The cat, known for its indepen- dence, just doesn't seem to get along in a fraternity house. One student disapproved of cats in general, saying that he could see only one good use for them: covering rug spots in front of mouseholes. He predict- ed that if the supply of mouse traps ever runs out, cats might come into more favor. Despite the existence of an anti- cat faction, the American Feline Society, Inc., sponsor of National Cat Week, points out that the cur- rent feline population of the Uni- ted States is approximaely 21 mil- lion. OF THIS NUMBER, only about one half enjoy definite ownership. One of the main aims of the Feline Association is to find homes for the less fortunate half. Special full color Cat Week seals have been put out by the Society to publicize their product. Appear- ing on letters from cat-lovers all over the nation, they feature an action picture by internationally known feline photographer Walter Chandoha. The Cat Week seals have been doubled in size since last year, due to postal difficulties. According to Assistant Posmtaster General Os- borne A. Pearson, the seals last year were mistaken for regular postal stamps, and several letters slipped through without postage. Arts Theatre StagesSatire The Arts Theatre Club's second presentation of the season will be produced at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow. The club is staging Beaumont and Fletcher's "The Knight of the Burning Pestle," a Jacobian satire on highbrow drama. Two new- comers to the company, Don Douglas and Barbara Lowndes will be starred. Douglas joins the cast from Hollywood where he recent- ly completed a movie. Three University students, John Benson, Andrew Duncan, '54A and Douglas Huebler are included in the cast. Strowan Robertson is the director and Neil Oppenheim, '52A, will give the costumes the profes- sional touch of his Broadway the- atrical experience. The production will be staged in the club rooms at 209!% E. Wash- ington St. Draft Quota Of 43 Set For January Selective Service officials yester- day announced a 43 man January induction quota for Washtenaw County. Twenty of those slated for serv- ice in the Armed Forces will come from Ann Arbor Board No. 85 and 23 from Board No. 341 in Ypsilanti. IN A STATEWIDE directive, the State Selective Service headquar- ters in Lansing asked that 3,590 eligible men be called up for in- duction in January. Local draft officials indicated they will be able to meet the January requirement, although the Ann Arbor board failed by 11 to fill its 15-man quota for Nov. 5. A second November call for in- ductees is set for Nov. 29. The inductees for both December and January will be selected from a group of 180 men to be sent to Detroit for pre-induction physical and mental examinations Nov. 16, a spokesman said. Due to the coming holidays, the Washtenaw County quota for De- cember will be only 13-six from Ann Arbor and seven from Ypsi- lanti, Selective Service representa- tives have explained. 'ICTUR E NEWS JAMES PEASE Peasev Fills I 6m InMessiali' Fulfilling the old adage that "the show must go on," James Pease, noted bass-baritone of the concert and'opera stage, will sing the bass role in Handel's "Mes- siah" at Christmas time here in place of Oscar Natzka, who died Monday. Pease has arranged to turn over] his entire receipts from these en- gagements, as well as several oth- ers, to the Natzka family. Born in the Hoosier state, Pease studied law at the University of Indiana and was recently mustered out of the Army Air Forces. His en- suing popularity has brought him solo appearances with the Boston, Chicago, Washington, Philadel- phia, Montreal, Toronto and In- dianapolis Symphonies as well as in recitals and opera. Pease has many performances of the "Messiah" to his credit. In appearance and actions, the singer could easily pass for a movie star rather than a farmer, lawyer, flying fortress pilot or concert and opera singer. All four fields were once at his command but his love of music has held preference over all of them. Performances of the "Messiah" will be given at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, December 8, and at 2:30 p.m. Sun- day, December 9, in Hill Auditor- ium. Tickets are available at the offices of the University Musical Society in Burton Memorial Tower. Because of the recent tax exemp- tion ruling they are now priced at 58 and 42 cents. Real Estate Confab. A National Conference on Real Estate Education will open here today with a roundtable discussion on the topic of the conference.
