GE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, MARCH 18 ,1952 i - 22 FEW APPLICATIONS: 'U' Poorly Represented Among Rhodes Scholars By HARLAND BRITZ Mighty Michigan, an athletic and educational leader, has been playing second fiddle when the time comes to hand out Rhodes Scholarships. In the post-war era, only one University student has been in- cluded in the group of 32 Ameri- can students who annually take the trans-Atlantic trek to vener- able Oxford University in England. THIS TREND needn't neces- sarily continue, Prof. Clark Hop- kins of the archaeology depart- ment and chairman of the Rhodes Scholarship Committee here, claims. "Many of our top men are just not applying for the scholar- ships and are losing the valuable New AFROTC* Course Sated Air Force ROTC cadets at the University will soon receive ten hours of instruction in atomic energy and radiological defense, Colonel William Todd, chairman of the air science and tactics de- partment, announced yesterday. The instruction will be given to cadets enrolled in the general- technical course, who are com- posed largely of engineering stu- dents. Faculty members in the physics,. engineering, and public health departments, will partici- pate in the program. The new lecture series reflects a policy of the AFROTC of invit- ing the best qualified persofnel available as guest speakers to sup- plement the instruction received from the regular Air Force staff, Colonel Todd said.

D's Please) opportunities they offer," he maintains. Competition is keen for the grants, and the University must get its superior students to apply if we ever hope to win any, Prof. Hopkins says. One reason for this, Prof. Hop- kins feels, is that applications are due early in the fall, before many potential winners are settled in Ann Arbor for their semester's study. The deadline announce- ment comes so soon that they put it off till the next year. -* * *. HE ALSO says that there is a hesitancy of signing up for the two years of study, required by the terms of ,the scholarship. The insecurity of the times preclude any long range planning for many male students. . What kinds of men are get- ting Rhodes Scholarships? Ac- cording to the will of the late 'diamond magnate, Cecil Rhodes, who set up the prizes, the cri- teria are: 1-Literary and scholastic abili- ty and attainments. 2-Qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sym- pathy, kindliness, unselfishness. 3-Exhibition of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in his schoolmates. 4-Physical vigour, as shown by interest in outdoor sports or in other ways. SCHOLASTIC attainment is es- pecially valuable, Prof. Hopkins hinted. As selection plans are now set up, students that live in the state but attend out-of-state colleges can compete in the Michigan region. "Many of them do this," Prof. Hopkins said, "because competi- tion isn't usually as difficult here as it is in the East." The greater proportion of stu- dents who try are from the East he claimed, because there is a greater interest in England there.

Blood Plees Diminish In Final Week of Drive U' Joins in International mi - - -' - ernt Thneaure noni By ALICE BOGDONOFF This month theatres all over the world will focus their spotlights on the stage as a new medium for in- ternational understanding. In 1949 at a United Nations UNESCO conference a member of the American National Theatre and Academy suggested that one month of the year be set aside in which theatres produce plays to emphasize themes of world peace and harmony. * * * WITH ANTA circulating mater- ial, information and adviee on In- ternational Theatre Month to the- atres throughout the country. the American venture was so success- ful that by 1951 the movement became world wide.' "I like to think of the theatre not so much as an art but, as human communication," said actress, Helen Hayes with re- gards to the International The- atre Month. "This is why the theatre espe- cially can be so effective in carry- ing UNESCO's message of hu- manity, in making men all over the world see each other not as alien members of a strange coun- try, but as fellow human beings who share the same. hopes, the same handicaps and even the same mistakes," the renowned ac- tress continued in a written state- ment supporting the program. IN EXPLAINING the scope of the movement Miss Hayes re- marked, "During this month of March theatres all over the world will be presenting plays by foreign playwrights which introduce the audience to the peoples and prob- lems of another land." Last year in the United States alone six hundred theatres par- ticipated in International Thea- tre Month. On March 26, 27, 28 and 29, the University Speech Department will mark the celebration of Int'erna- tional Theatre Month with a pro- Pn rogramn duction of Robert Sherwood's "There Shall Be No Night." Picking up the International theme, the play tells the story of a. Finnish doctor and his family in their struggle to defend their homeland from Russian invasion. Tickets for the play will go on sale March 24 at the Lydia Men- delssohn box office. Indistrial health Conference Slated "What's New for Fifty-Two" in the programs of the industrial health will be presented and dis- cussed at a conference of the pub- lic health school March 26. A morning section for medical directors and industrial nurses and an afternoon section for safe- ty directors and industrial hy- gienists are scheduled. UJA Drive KickoffSet The 1952 United Jewish Appeal's drive will be launched in Ann Ar- bor Saturday, Bud Schwartz, cam- paign co-chairman announced. "The results of this life-saving effort are of crucial importance for hundreds of thousands of peo- ple in Israel and other parts of the world," Schwartz said. Money donated to the drive will help the Israeli immigrants to consolidate their achievements of the last four years. It will also go to aid in the evacuation of refu- gees from "friction" zones in Eur- ope, Asia and Africa. The quota for the '52 drive is $151,500,000. In order to spark the drive in Ann Arbor, a local UJA central committee of Gloria Krigsten, '55,. Sue Popkin, '54, Fred Keidan, '52 and Bud Schwartz and Ray Slavin of Hillel has been set up. Anyone interested in helping with the drive will be welcomed at the Lane Hall offices, Schwartz said. 1 .1 Although a steady line of pros- pective donors has been filing through the mobile blood dona- tion unit located in the South Quad, the receipt of blood pledges reached a new low yesterday. Only nine cards were turned in at the Office of Student Affairs, compared to 100 to 150 received daily at the beginning of last week, Foiled Despite a technical flaw that prevented the University tele- tour from going on the air Sun- day, Prof. Wilber J. McKeachie, of the psychology department donated his pint of blood as ad- vertised, but without the antici- pated viewing audience. A burned out receiver on Burton Tower prevented the scheduled telecast of the blood donation from being transmitted, accord- ing to WWJ-TV engineers. In addition to Prof. McKeachie, several people who had gathered to watch the "show" decided to donate blood. according to Martha O. Shipman, secretary to Joseph H. Fee, assis- tant to the Dean of Students. A TOTAL of 1,127 pledges have now been signed for the campaign, which is entering the last week. Fee urged students to dupli- cate last week's showings, and to call immediately at the office for an appointment. Although the mobile unit must leave campus Friday, Fee assured all who haven't made donation dates that facilities will be made available so that their blood may be counted in with the Univer- ity campaign for the armed forces. More than 600 pints of blood have now been donated according to Mrs. Ethyl L. Athinsbn, execu- tive secretary of the Washtenaw County Red Cross chapter. She explained that the University population has shown a smaller percentage 'of donor rejections than in other localities, averaging only 15 per cent. WIN A PRIZE' TOO! .k a a k ~a o*v ......... ..'
