KEMPH ASIZES: Benet Epic Accident Totals Announced
Security Plays Vital Role at University Set To Open By National Safety Council
~

By JANE HOWARD
"The biggest gap in security is
an open mouth," declares a prom-
inent poster in the University Re-
search Security Office.
Laurel Z. Keene, head of the of-
fice, emphasized the importance of
this and other slogans recently
talking about security clearance
activities on campus.
* *R *
WITH MORE than 150 contracts
between the University's research
divisions, the government and a
few private industries, the office's
job is a big one. It involves con-
stant surveillance over the Univer-
sity on security relations and pre-
liminary investigations of all new
employes connected with. classi-
fied research.
Since the projects themselves
are of a top secret nature,
Keene's description of them was
necessarily limited. "Electronics,
tests and various techniques," he
said,."are being developed for
the government."
The security officer explained
that the University ranks high
mong institutional research loca-
tions for several reasons.
"The fine graduate school, en-
abling advanced students to work
on research projects and to study
simultaneously; the excellent lab-
or market; access to major Detroit
industries and Ann Arbor's own
advantages," Keene said, "all con-
tribute to make an opportune re-
search headquarters."
Grh * s
GOVERNMENT projects involve
not only their faculty supervisors
and many extra consultants drawn
from every school and department
in the University, but all person-
nel in any way connected with
classified data. Typists of the gov-
rnment-boun reports, student
research workers, full-time pro-
ject guards and clerical assistants
must all be carefully screened be-
fore they may associate with the
projects.
Intensive investigations of
these personnel account for the
file cases in the Research Secur-
ity Office, indicating the status
of the 16 to 18 hundred people
who must have a security status.
Classified according to their ac-
cess to Restricted, Confidential,
Secret or Top Secret material, Uni-
versity employes are subjected to
a several months clearing process
similar to FBI investigations.

dio program will feature a discus-
sion of major campaign issues in

campus parliamentary body be-
cause of extra service functions.

As the second feature of this
year's Lecture Series, "John
Brown's Body" by Stephen Vincent
Benet, will be presented at 8:30
p.m. tomorrow and Saturday at
Hill Auditorium.
Put on a theater stage on a ma-
jor scale for the first time, Benet's
epic poem has been called the
greatest work of literature yet to
come from the pen of an American
writer.
* * *
STARRING in the production
are Anne Baxter, Tyrone Power
and Raymond Massey. Each star
takes more than one role in the
drama depicting the misery and
strife of the civil war.
Each of the male stars reads
five principal characters and
Miss Baxter portrays seven fem-
inine viewpoints.
Power steps out of his Hollywood
roles to take the roles of the
North's Jack Ellyat, the South's
Clay Wingate, the hard bitten fool
soldier and Ellyat's buddy, Baily.
Massey, noted for his portrayal
of Robert E. Sherwood's Abraham
Lincoln, will read the part of Be-
net's Lincoln as well as other po-
litical and patriotic parts in the
drama. Miss Baxter shifts from
Jack Ellyat's simple farm girl tc
the flighty and calculating beauty
who loves Clay Wingate to a proud
southern matriarch.
THE THREE STARS will play
their roles to a background set by
the Walter Schumann 20 member
choral group. This group repre-
sents feelings and sounds ranging
from the glory of victory to the
plaint of lovers.
Presented in a simple fence-
like setting, the three stars ap-
pear in formal attire. This type
of "platform theater" has been
called the "new dimension" in
modern drama and has been
brought to light by producer
Paul Gregory and director
Charles Laughton.
Power is known for his film ca-
reer which includes "The Razor's
Edge," "Captain From Castile,'
"The Black Rose" and "Jesse
IJames.''
Films in which Miss Baxter has
appeared include "All About Eve,'
"Charley's Aunt," "A Royal Scan-
dle" and "You're My Everything.'
Massey has appeared in such stage
productions as "Pygmalion,'
1"Friends and Lovers," "Ethar
Frome" and Saint Joan."
Tickets are still available at the
Hill Auditorium box office for Sat-
urday's performance.

so, according to William S. Zer-

by local draft boards in determin-

Discussing widespread investi-
gations of possible Communists
in academic circles, Keene said,
"In a university of this size you
can presuppose that there will be
a few individuals leaning to-
wards or following the Commu-
nist line. But from all indica-
tions I'd say there are fewer here
that at some other schools of
corresponding size."
"Every faculty," he added, "has
security risks, by which he mean
unintentionally careless people,
more than those with disloyal ten-
dencies. All research employes
must have a real feeling for se-
curity to make it a workable
thing," he emphasized.
"It's too easy, by plain human
nature, to divulge confidence to
your family and friends when
you're under alcoholic influence
or other disarming circumstances.
Carelessness is our biggest prob-
lem." -
