NO BEARDS OR TV NECKLINES:
Recorder Takes Spotlight at Festival
* * ,

* * *
An audience will listen to tape
recordings of poetry for the first
time in the history of the Inter-
Arts Festival when Generation
gives its program at 2 p.m. today
in the Round-Up Rm. of the
League.
The idea of putting em-
phasis 'on the poetry itself instead
of the actual person, is not a new
concept, but one that has existed
since the time of the ancients, ac-
cording to Donald Hope, Grad.,
who arranged the program.
"THERE ARE many ways to
read a poem and the reading can
be illuminated by the personality
of the poet," Hope said. To avoid
this and the many affectations
that people see, such as tennis
shoes, a beard or a television type
neckline, Generation decided to
use tape recordings of students
reading their own poetry.
"By using a tape recorder, re-
cordings can be made over and
over again until the best read-
ing is obtained," Hope said.
Students who have made record-
ings for the program are Dick
Laing, Grad; Herb Mandel, Grad;
Betty Ehlers, '55; Joseph Greene,
Grad.; Anne Stevenson, '54, and
Hope.
An informal discussion will fol-
low the program and the record-
ing can easily be played back if
the audience wants to discuss any
particular parts of a poem. Mime-
ographed copies of the poems will
be handed out to the audience be-
fore the readings.
A TRIPLE BILL, featuring a
one-act play written by Robert
Rice, '54, is scheduled at 8 p.m.
today in Schorling Auditorium,
University High School. Mary
Forsyth and Gene Tolfree, '55 are
cast as leads of the play which
depicts the life of F. Scott Fitz-
gerald.
Following the play will be an
opera, 'Adam and Eve," written
by Karl Magnuson, '55SM, and
staring Joan St. Denis, '54, David
Marray, '53SM and Russ Chris-
topher, '53SM.
A modern dance with choreog-
raphy done by Robin Squier, '54,
and staring Miss Squier and Hen-
rietta Hermelin, '55, will close the
program.
The fifth annual festival opened
last night with a program by mu-
sic school students, featuring a
cello solo by William Doppmann,
'56SM, and a piano sonata by Da-
vid Tice, '55SM.

group of Young Democrats, that he
would work for open meetings of
the Board.
He said if he were elected to
the Board, he would "report to
the people-in an open meeting
or out of it-what goes on."
He also indicated that he wouldj
favor public Regent-student dis-
cussions of driving ban regulations,
fraternity and sorority bias clauses,
women's hours and rules govern-
ing student residence in apart-

Turning to the problem of edu-
cation at an evening meeting Rob-

plan now for buildings that will
be needed, and for rearing the
group of educators that will be
required."
"We must have people on the
Board who will not be too timid
to assert the interests of the Uni-
versity," he concluded.

Appointed to work on the com-
mittee were Prof. Albert L. Clark,
jr., of the engineering college,
Dave Ponitz, Grad. and Sam Al-
fieri, '54A, chairman of the group.
THE FIRST important changes
undertaken by the committee
were in Article III dealing with
membership.
Here the original constitu-
tion, adopted in July 1942, had
provided for student, annual,
life, honorary, directors', sum-
mer school and special course
members.
In each case where the payment
of fees had been listed in the con-
stitution as necessary for mem-
bership, the provision has been
taken out of the new document
and will be put into the by-laws.
According to committee chair-
man Alfieri this is aimed at "mak-
ing the constitution more flexible."

Expert Speaks
On Immaturity
Emotional immaturity was
blamed for marital difficulties by
Prof. Florence Hollis of the New
York School of Social Work, yes-
terday.
Speaking at a meeting of the
Social Work Institute, Prof. Hol-
lis said that such emotionally im-
mature individuals have failed
"to resolve parental ties and have
carried childhood rebellion into
adult life."
Discussing methods which a
caseworker should use in solving
marital problems, Prof. Hollis sug-
gested that he establish a basic
understanding of the problem and
attempt to build up the person's
trust so that he will take criti-
cism. The caseworker should then
make him aware of his behavior
and help him to find the solution
to his problem, she added.
of membership entailed the cum-'
bersome process of calling a spe-
cial meeting of the voters to ap-
prove the amendment. With the
new arrangement such changes
can be made simply by changing
the By-laws.
In the proposed constitution
the only stipulations as to stu-
dent, life and summer school
memberships are residence re-
quirements in the University.
All male full-time students both
graduate and undergraduate are
eligible to be members of the
Union while attending the Uni-
versity. Their membership termi-
nates with Commencement Day
of the current academic year.
In order to hold life member-
ship under the new constitution
it is necessary to have completed
eight semesters of full time work
at the University. Provisions for
students not completing eight
semesters' work will be made in
the By-laws.
Summer session members are
given membership in accordance
with the terms of the Union By-
laws. Their membership termi-
nates on August 31 of each year.
The classification of "special
course members" which had ap-
plied to individuals taking short
courses, extension courses and
night school work has been elimi-
nated in the new constitution.
Philippine 'U' Plan

by the University in cooperation
with the Mutual Security Agency

port," the University's television
show, at 6 p.m. today over WWJ-
TV, Detroit.
Prof. Ferrel Heady, assistant di-
rector of the Institute of Public
Administration, will discuss the

The Big Ten Student Govern-
ment Association, 10 years in the
talking stage and a year and a
half in the making, has been final-
ly ratified, it was made public yes-
terday.
Set up to unify the programs
and activities of Big Ten student
governments, the organization is
separate from the National Stu-
dent Association of which the Uni-
versity is also a member.

RATIFICATION of the five-
month old Big Ten constitution
was held up both by this University
and Michigan State College.
Biding its time until the dis-
pute over the Big Ten's rebuff
of State's athletic policies cooled
down, the East Lansing school's
All-College Student Government
delayed ratification until the
March 15 deadline.
Student Legislature here init-
ially refused to okay the consti-
tution because of a provision stat-
ing that the Big Ten student body
presidents would "have the power
to express Big Ten opinion on stu-
dent matters."
SL vice-president Bob Neary,
'54 BAd., explained that the provi-
sion was much too broad to be
workable. SL early this year rati-
fied the constitution with the stip-
ulation that the objectionable
clause be omitted.
Student governments of Iowa
and Purdue Universities took the
same stand, Neary said.
* * *
UNDER THE present, approved
constitution, Neary said he felt
the Big Ten Association was a
good plan. Operating by means of
a council composed of the 10
schools' student body presidents,
the association will hold a year-
ly conference at one of the mem-
ber campuses as its main func-
tion.
The school selected for the
conference site will serve as a
clearing house for Big Ten in-
formation services that year.
Purpose of the newest student
government group to take on func-
tioning status is to "jointly consid-
er, coordinate and integrate prob-
lems and activities common to the
Big Ten institutions . . . and to
foster more efficient student gov-
ernment throughout the Big Ten."

bor will speak on the "Present

tory department will open the
