t PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1951 I __________________________________ GHOSTS ROMP TONIGHT: Ruddigore To Open Four Night Stand . 0 0 0 By DONNA HENDLEMAN "Ruddigore" will open at 8 p.m. today. Spirits undampened by weather, members of the Gilbert and Sulli- van Society will begin a four night stand in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. A cast of more than fifty people will cavort through the gay satire, which features a bevy of charac- ters and a host of ghosts all in- termingled in the authors' livliest fashion THE PLOT, which traces the misfortunes of a baron who has to commit a crime a day in order to fulfill a family curse, and the amours of his not-too faithful sweetheart, provides an excuse for some rollicking singing and danc- ing in the province of Ruddigore. Many of the songs will be familiar to Gilbert and Sulli- van enthusiasts, but the dances executed throughout the pro- duction wil provide some rarely seen entertainment f o r the audience. The dance routines based on three historical dances, the gal- liard, the gravotte, and the sailor's hornpipe. The galliard and the gravotte both date back to pre- Renaissaince Europe, and were first described in a book, "Orches- ographie" published in 1588. * * * A HIGHLY intricate dance, the galliard began as a racuous form of entertainment in the late fif- teenth century. By the time "Or- chesographie" was printed, it had been refined to a court dance. Today, variations of the dance can be found in the popular West Virginia Shag, the Bunny Hop and the Mexican Hat dance. The gavotte held sway with the minuet in court circles during its eminency. Executions of the horn- pipe can still be seen in many parts of Europe. Tickets for "Ruddigore" can still be obtained at the Mendelssohn box office. They are $1 and 75 cents apiece.

Students Cast BallotsToaday (Continued from Page 1) Prep Course In Military Questioned Robert O. Winder's objection to taking Ann Arbor High School's military orientation course has caused Superintendent of Schools Otto W. Haisley to question con- tinuance of the course as a re- quired program. Winder, a 17-year-old high school senior who was last week refused permission to graduate unless he took the course, has not yet made a formal appeal to the Board of Education to reverse the school officials' decision. * * * HOWEVER, THE board is now studying the matter. The main issues as Haisley outlined them are: 1. Should Winder be excused from the class? 2. Should the class be continued as a required course? Winder objected to the course last week on grounds that it was "military indoctrination." Hais- ley, to the contrary, feels that the one-hour-a-week lecture class serves to inform the students of opportunities offered by the var- ious branches of military service. Jury Convicts Three Youths Of Murder (Continued from Page 1) Engineering Essay Contest To Open Engineers with literary talent wil have a chance to win prizes of $300 and $150, the Engineering Scholarship Committee announced today. Plans for the second annual Mortimer E. Cooley Memorial En- gineering Essay contest have been revealed by Prof. Henry W. Mill- er, chairman of the scholarship committee. * *.* SUBJECT FOR THE competi- tion essays will be "The Social Responsibilities of the Engineer." This was also last year's topic. Essays should run in length from 3,000 to 4,000 words, said Colonel Miller. This subject was chosen to comply with the wishes of the late Dean Cooley, who died in 1944 at the age of 89, leaving a fund to carry on the contest. Dean Cooley, believing that en- gineers and scientists did not ac- cept enough responsibility outside their professional activities, stipu- lated in his will that the funds were to be used for prizes "to pro- mote the interest of the engineer- i n g students in nontechnical fields." * * * WINNER OF FIRST prize last year was Richard H. Varian, a June graduate. Second place went to Henry V. Knight, '53E and third place to Gordon E. Saxon, '52E. The contest deadline is April 1, 1952. Carbon copies of the entries are being requested this year to facilitate publication of the winners in "The Michigan Technic." Contestants may consult mem- bers of the scholarship committee or any engineering English de- partment member on contest mat- ters, Prof. Miller said. All essays must be typewritten and double-spaced. Numbers will be assigned to contestants, and only the number should appear on the finished essay. Judges will be Prof. Carl E. Burklund of the engineering Eng- lish department, Prof. Charles B. Gordy of the mechanical engineer- ing department and Prof. Alfred H. White of the chemical engi- neering department.

Post-Grad Job Applications Due Friday The Bureau of Appointments has announced that Friday is the last day that students graduating in February will be able to apply for post-graduation jobs. Although registration will re- open Jan. 15, the Bureau has cau- tioned that, due to the length of time needed to compile a stu- dent's record, they are unable to provide jobs for such late appli- cants. Job applications blanks may be obtained at Rm. 3528, Admin. Bldg. Instructing the Jury yester- day afternoon, Circuit Judge James R. Breakey, Jr., pointed out that a first-degree verdict should be forthcoming only if there was "malicious intent" in- volved in the act. "Although there is no excuse for drunkenness," the judge said, "it should be considered in determin- ing whether or not an intent could be formulated. The verdict came at 9:40 p.m. in a tense, hushed atmosphere. Only sounds in the courtroom after the foreman's quiet pro- nouncement were the sobs of the defendants' mothers. Sentencing of the youths will take place Dec. 4. Defense attor- neys did not say immediately whether they would appeal the case.
