TOP ACTORS FEATURED:
Drama Season To Open Tomorrow
The "first lady of the theater," Katharine Cornell, and other out-
standing Broadway artists, among them Miriam Hopkins, Edward
Everett Horton and Ruth Chatterton, will appear in top plays during
this year's Drama Season.
At 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater, Miss
Cornell will lead off the quintet of productions scheduled for the next
five weeks of the season with Somerset Maugham's "The Constant
Wife."
* * * *
SUPPORTING, MISS CORNELL in the play, a protest against the
double standard of marriage, are John Emery as her old flame and
Robert Flemyng as her husband. Miss Cornell plays the part of Con-
stance Middleton who gives her philandering doctor-husband a dose
of his own medicine when she decides to pay him back by reviving

Stage Life
Began Early
For Cornell
Life in the theater comes as sec-
ond nature to Katharine Cornell
who has acted most of her life.
She was born into a theatrical
family and as a child wrote and
acted in plays. From amateur per-
formances, Miss Cornell went on
to professional productions.
* * *
SHE DID HER first professional
acting in the Washington Square
Players where she met Guthrie
McClintic whom she later married.
Miss Cornell appeared in her first
starring role in "The Green Hat"
* * *
>a romance with an old flame.
A world's premiere will high-
light the second week of the
drama season with "In the Sum-
mer House," starring Miriam
Hopkins and written by Jane
Bowles.
Reminiscent of "The Glass Me-
nagerie" and "The Member of the
Wedding," the play is a study of
family relationships. The dramatic
element and humor are combined
to make it, according to Tennessee
Williams, "the most original play
I've ever read but I think it is also
the oddest and funniest and one
of the most touching."
Also featured will be Mildred
Dunnock and Tamara Daykarha-
nova. "In the Summer House" will
run during the week of May 19
through 23. Major critics from New
York and Chicago are expected to
be on hand for opening night.
' * * *
RUTH CHATTERTON stars in
the third play of the season, John
van Druten's "Old Acquaintance."
This comedy first was presented
with Miss Chatterton on TV two
seasons ago.
"Old Acquaintance" is the
story of two friends, both novel-
ists, and their relationship with
a young man-about-town. Some
of the results are hilarious and
certainly make for an enjoyable
time in the theater.
The play will be presented from
May 26-30, and has a supporting
cast including Lois Wilson and
John Baragrey.
During exam week, June 1-6, the
fourth production of the Drama
Season, "Nina," will be presented.
Starring in this comedy on mar-
riage and morals will be that per-
ennial comedy favorite Edward Ev-
erett Horton.
SUPPORTING Mr. Horton as
Nina's husband in the three-char-
acter piece will be Marta Linden
as Nina and Gordan Mills as her
lover.
The fifth and final presenta-
tion will be "The Hasty Heart"
starring John Dall of Hollywood
fame and Margaret Phillips of
Broadway. The play is deeply
moving in parts but is mainly a
comedy.
The lead part of the proud Scot
is played by John Dall. The nurse
who causes the Scot's "hasty
heart" is acted by Margaret Phil-
lips who a few seasons ago toured
with "The Heiress."
R hapsody
Thet final showing of the SL
Cinema Guild presentation of
"Rhapsody in Blue" will be
held at 8 p.m. today in the Ar-
chitecture Auditorium.
Featuring 24 compositions of
the late George Gershwin, the
film stars Robert Alda, Alexis
Smith, Oscar Levant and Joan
Leslie.
Non-Flying
AROTC Cut
Responding to the need for
more flight training applicants,
the Headquarters of the Air
Force ROTC has announced that
it is tightening up restrictions for
entrance into non-flying special-
ties.
The new policy will initially af-
fect the 809 freshmen and sopho-
mores enrolled in Air Force ROTC
and planning to qualify for ad-
vance contracts.
As to the essential changes of
the plan, Col. William L. Todd,
in charge of the Air Force ROTC
at the University, declared that
"emphasis will be placed on those
cadets who agree to enter the Air
Force's flying training program
upon graduation."
However, he emphasized that
"no outstandingly qualified stu-
dent will fail to be selected for an
advance contract."
TUN Approach'
Talk Slated
Prof. Robert C. Angell of the
sociology department will discuss
"The UNESCO Approach To In-
ternational Problem Solving" at
7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Auditorium
C, Angell Hall.
The lecture, sponsored by the
extension service as part of its
"Social Forces in our Changing
World" series is open to the pub-
lic.

ROUGH RIDERS-Here's the impression received by George
Fomin, '56E, a bystander, of the rough and perilous course on
which the Greek Week bike race was held yesterday. The five
district fraternity teams, suffering broken spokes, bike break-
downs, loose chains, bent fenders, and bruised knees, used 11
bikes in the arduous race. Winner of the contest, minus a few
spokes, bike gears and a handle grip, was district five, composed
of Phi Gamma Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Nu, Delta Chi,
Chi Phi, Trigon, Phi Kappa Psi and Alpha Sigma Phi fraternities.
College Roundup
On the nation's campuses this week:
A "mysterious disease" caused by exhaustion is plaguing hard-
working students at Purdue University. The symptoms of the disease,
mononucleosis, are fatigue, fever, aching, sore throat and a swelling
of the lymphoid tissues in back of the neck and throat.
According to a Purdue health service physician, the disease is
caused by a virus and is prevalent among college age students.

The president of the Inter-Fraternity Council at the Univer-
sity of Chicago panned the Michigan or Acacia Plan which, at
the U of C, states that no campus organization may have -discrimi-
natory clauses in its constitution.
The IFC head said he was opposed to the plan because it is
in essence a loyalty oath and he is not in favor of any loyalty oaths.
He added that the issue in the negotiations over the Michigan
Plan is not discrimination but one of the power of the University's
Student Government.

By the Associated Press
All residential building in the
Detroit area was at a standstill
yesterday as the result of a com-
plicated wage dispute between
AFL Building Workers and Con-
tractors.
Meanwhile, AFL construction
employes in Grand Rapids voted
to accept a nw pay offer submit-
ted by contractors, and union
members in three other western
Michigan cities-Kalamazoo, Ben-
ton Harbor and Muskegon-were
taking ballots on the question.
THE AMOUNT of the offer was
not disclosed.
AFL spokesmen called the De-
troit stoppage a lockout.
"The action is definitely a
lockout," declared L. M. Weir,
Secretary of the Union's Car-
penter's Council. "But we are
not surprised or disturbed."
Action leading to today's shut-
down of residential construction
work began more than a week ago.
Contracts of the AFL Building
Trades Workers with three Build-
ers' Associations expired May 1.
Instead of calling a general
strike, the union locals started
signing with individual contractors
for a wage increase of 12 cents an
hour and five cents hourly in
fringe benefits.

The University Hospital will ini-
tiate National Hospital Week with

Letters written by a University
student to five newspapers con-
demning "British brutality in
Kenya" and Malan's South Afri-
can policies recently drew a sharp
reaction from a fellow South Af-
rican student at the University of
Illinois.
In reply to charges by Lutch-
mana' Naidoo, '53, Rhoda Barry,
a student at the University of Illi-
nois, sent a letter to the South
African Minister of Internal Af-
fairs in Pietorid.
* * *
SHE QUESTIONED the need of
granting a passport to an Indian
"whose material interests lie in
South Africa, but whose spiritual
interests lie in another country."
Naidoo's family is of Indian des-
cent, but has lived in Africa for
three generations.
To answer Miss Barry's at-
tack, Prof. Dean C. Baker and
Prof. Wesley H. Maurer of the
journalism department will dis-
patch a request to the South Af-
rican Minister recommending
that Naidoo be allowed to com-
plete his studies this June for
a degree,
Naidoo's visa expires June 30,
and cannot be extended, so that,
according to Prof. Baker, there is
still a possibility of dropping his
visa before its expiration.
"It is regrettable that this sort
of self-appointed spying by one
student on another should be con-
ducted," he said.
No official action has yet been
taken by the University.
