PAE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TIMUSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2953 KEMPH ASIZES: Benet Epic Accident Totals Announced Security Plays Vital Role at University Set To Open By National Safety Council ~ 7 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. SL Questions To Be Aired Over WCBN Student Legislature's weekly ra- dio program will feature a discus- sion of major campaign issues in the fall SL election race at 8 p.m. today on WCBN. Under specific discussion will be questions submitted to candidates by The Daily. Among the topics are whether SL should appoint all students on the Student Affairs Committee, whether SL should again pass a time-limit restriction on fraterni- ties' bias clauses and whether SL is neglecting its job as the main campus parliamentary body be- cause of extra service functions. Discussing the issues will be two non-candidates: Ned Simon, '55, and Fred Hicks, '54. Leah Marks, '55L, will be moderator for the program. Thompson To Talk On Divorce Laws Edward P. Thompson, secretary- treasurer of the Kalamazoo Coun- ty Bar Association, will discuss di- vorce practices and procedure at the Student Bar Association lec- ture to be held at 7 p.m. today in Rm. 120 Hutchins Hall.

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. 0 i i .f I { . i X j : --~ asuaILy IISL L4Ja i -- 'Ut, died in motor vehicle accidents. )00 killed and 9,600,000 injured.

The labor and agriculture planks of the platform to be sent to the convention will also be debated. Selective Service Test Deadline Set Application deadline for the Se- lective Service College Qualifica- tion Test to be given Nov. 19 has been set for Tuesday. All men who have not previous- ly taken the test are urged to do so, according to William S. Zer- man, assistant to the dean of stu- dents. Results of the test are used by local draft boards in determin- ing college deferments, he said. Application for the test may be made at the Ann Arbor Selective Service Board No. 85, 210 West Washington. over the country. 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." - Established in 1951, the Re- search Security Office is in the East Engineering Bldg.
