i I PAGE EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1953 'OFFICIAL WORRIER': Berman Ends Arts Theater Career, Seek Blood Donations rv , -r-%, As la 9 Da, By MARK READER The Arts Theater is about to lose its "official worrier." Hy Ber- man, business manager of the group, will soon receive his law degree from the University and then reluctantly depart for the .armed service. One of the last original mem- bers of Ann Arbor's only profes- sional acting company, the soft- spoken, Ohio-born Berman is per- haps the only person in the group who has attempted to "avoid with avengence" dramatic roles of every sort. AND HE HAS generally succeed- ed in this aim. Most familiar to Arts Theater- goers for his nightly stints be- fore the foot-lights where his dramatic speeches #re limited to announcements of forthcoming productions, Berman enjoys re- miniscing about his short-lived acting career. He recalls that his first acting opportunity came in "The Knight of the Burning Pestle" when he filled in for a substitute's substi- tute. "Instead of acting," he says, "I found myself thoroughly enjoying the show as an outsider. As a re- sult the part never did come across to the audience." * * * FROM THAT time on, Berman turned his attentions exclusively to the business end of the theater. His undefined job has included everything from piloting the theater through legal snarls in state and national law so as to incorporate the group to sweep- ing the front stairs of the thea- ter. The latter, he maintains, has never come off as well as it should. Berman, a member of Tau Ep- Bisho To Talk On Parenthood The Rt. Rev. Richard S. Emrich, Episcopal bishop of the Diocese of Michigan, will deliver a lecture en- titled "Birth Control, Sin? Chris- tian?" at 7 p.m. today at the Can- terbury House. Bishop Emrich, who has held his present position for seven years, was professor of theology at the Episcopal Theological Seminary in Cambridge, Mass. He was the youngest bishop in the Episcopal Church at the time of his election. At present Bishop Emrich is also President of the Detroit Council of Churches. The theologian will discuss the moral implications of planned parenthood. The lecture is open to the pub- lic and a discussion will follow. 0 * * * * For WSSF Contributions to the World Stu- dent Service Fund may be given in the form of blood donations this semester. Instead of offering loose change to some eager solicitor, contribu- tors may donate a pint of blood to the University Hospital and credit the $15 to WSSF. In this way, the student will be able to contribute considerably more than he could normally afford. This year, funds collected by the international student organ- ization will be sent to students in Southeastern Asia and South Korea who are critically in need of the basic physical equipment for continuing their education. According to WSSF committee member Wyn Price, "money is al- located to foreign schools in order to stimulate self-help, and enable the students to be more self-suf- ficient." Price cited an example in which student recipients of the aid used the money to buy a mim- eograph machine, and then pro- ceeded to type-out and mimeo- graph entire books. Anyone interested in serving on the WSSF committee in the fall may apply at Lane Hall. Carillonneur To Play Bells Drcve .
