CHINA WAR CHILDHOOD:
Ko-Lo-Shan Girls Reunited on Campus'
S * * *
By CARL ZIMMERMAN I
Happy childhood memories of a
mountain where breezes made
melodies among the pine needles
while Japanese bombers roared
overhead on their way to attack
Chungking have been revived for
two former playmates who met
again here recently.
They lived in one-story mud
huts, with no electricity or plumb-
ing, but Clare Tseng, '54, and Joan
Hsu, '55, insist that their "best
years" were those spent as refu-
gees from the Japanese on Ko-Lo-
Shan, a mountain some 40 miles
from Chungking.
SINCE China's wartime capital,
Chungking, was bombed heavily by
the Japanese, they explained, many
of the families who had fled the
occupied provinces chose to settle
in safer, though primitive spots
outside the city.
The war was an exciting ad-
venture for the children on the
mountain. The frequent air
raids were just part of the
game, they recalled, because the
planes always flew on to spew
their bombs on the capital.
When peace came in 1945, the
little community on Ko-Lo-Shan
dispersed; But the Chungking days
were not forgotten. A sort of kin-
ship exists among these former
refugees, and one bond is the pro-
vincial dialect which they picked
up there, the two girls explained.
This dialect led to the Ann Ar-
bor reunion. Clare's sister recog-
nized Joan through her use of the
Chungking vernacular. "Why,I
you're Little Tiger!" exclaimed'
Ching Shung Tseng, when she first
met Joan.
So the mountain of youthful
pleasure amid war's terror rose
again, eight years later on the
other side of the world.

V.. ~ ~ .~.It takes more than acting to make a theater major.
ZT' Around play production time in the Speech Department workshop,
-it is evident that much more is involved than the lines that come
f ,across the footlights.
IN THE THEATER workshop of the Temporary Classroom Bldg.
amid a chaos of paint, cardboard and wood shavings, students are able
to experience the work behind greasepaint glamour. Here acting is
done with hammer and nails. By building sets, sewing costumes, up-
holstering chairs and making false noses speech students get a taste
of backstage detail.
The important feature of the Speech Department's program
is that a student majoring in theater is able to go through the
: V 4complete development of a production-fuom the written script
S::.>and bare stage up to the carefully prepared result.

The girl in jeans on a ladder
may be Empress of the Byzantines
the next evenng. And even though
' a tyro set designer never plans to
act, a few scenes in the limelight
give him a better theater back-
ground.
Set designers, with paint-
streaked hands as their badge of
honor, can take satisfaction in
being the unsung heros of the the-
ater. In the Speech Department,
however, it is the status quo for
everyone.
