THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FM
One Act Play To Highlight Union Open House
Michifish, Fencing Display
Scheduled for Presentation . .
Greed as a result of poverty and
oppression will form the theme for
the one act play, "Lithuania," to
be presented as one of the feature
attractions during the annual Un-
ion Open House, to be held from 1
to 5 p.m. Saturday.
Scheduled to be performed at
2:30 p.m. in the Union Ballroom,
the violent story of a psychological
murder was written by the Eng-
lish soldier-poet Rupert Brooke. It
is the author's only play and is in
surrealistic style, with short and
very concise lines.
* * *
THE STORY itself deals with
the savage murder of a rich man
who comes to the house of starv-
ing farmers. Produced by the
speech department under the di-
rection of E. Paul Rebillot, the
cast includes Barbara Carse, Wan-
dalie Henshaw, Mike Gregoric, Don
Hartweg, Jalel Askarzadek and
Beverly Blancett.
In keeping with the nature of
the Union Open House, no ad-
mission will be charged for
"Lithuania," which is one of
three plays included in the
speech department play bill to
be presented tomorrow night.
This is the first year that the
Union Open House has included
such a presentation. In previous
years, the ballroom has been the
scene of the General Motors "Pre-
view of Progress" show. Since
many students have seen this dis-
play, the committee decided that
they would p$lease the guests more
by arranging something new.
ALSO TO BE featured for the
first time at this year's open house
will be a fencing exhibition, sched-
uled for 1:30 p.m. in Rms. L, M
and N on the third floor of the
Union.
To be presented by three
members of the Sale de Tuscan
Fencing Club of Detroit, the dis-
play has been planned with the
hope of stimulating interest on
campus in the sport of fencing. .
Richard Perry, fencing coach at
the University of Detroit, will open
the exhibition by explaining the
basic principles of fencing so that
students will gain some knowledge
of what fencing is as a competi-
tive sport.
* * *
PERRY WILL then demonstrate
two major weapons used in the
sport, the foil and the sabre. The
exhibition will close with a sabre
bout illustrating unusual technique
in fencing.
Bob Derdaran, a member of
the 1956 Olympic fencing team,
and Donna Hill, a student at the
University, will also take part in
the program. Miss Hill has fenc-
ed in national competition and
is ranked among the top thirty
women fencers in the nation.
Also featured during the after-
noon will be performances, at 1:45
and 2:45 p.m., by Michifish, wo-
men's synchronized swimming
club. The coeds will present selec-
tions from the water ballet to be
presented at the dedication of the
new women's pool. The perform-
ance Saturday will be presented
in the Union pool.
* * *
STUDENTS and Community
members attending the open house
will also have a chance to see the
inside story of the Michigan
Marching Band. "Here Comes the
Band," a film made by a profes-
sional company, will be presented
at 3 and 3:30 p.m. in Room L on
the third floor.'
Featuring the championship
band of 1950, the movie shows
details of the formations and
dances used at the Rose Bowl
and at the band's performance
in New York City.
The documentary will also show
how the band develops from the
first practice session to the organ-
ization seen by the public.
* * *
FROM 3 to 5 p.m. Paul McDon-
ough and his orchestra will play
for dancing in the North Lounge.
Free cokes and donuts will be
served during this mixer.
During the afternoon, ping-
pong, billiards, bowling and pool
tournaments will be held. Men
who have reached the semi-
finals will compete for trophiesl
to be awarded to the winner of
each activity.
In addition, the winner of the
Union ping-pong tournament will
play the coed winner of the recent
WAA-sponsored. ping-pong tour-
nament.
* * *
EXHIBITIONS in the lobby of
the Union will include prints re-
ceiving first and second prizes and
honorable mentions in the recent
Union Amateur Photo Contest.
Highlight for many guests will
be the tours conducted into the
tower of the Union. The tower,
from which visitors can get a
"bird's eye" view of Ann Arbor,
is open only this one time each
year.
Coeds and men alike will be in-
vited to explore the whole build-
ing. Hostesses from the various
sororities and dormitories on cam-
pus, as well as members of the
Union student activities staff, will
be on hand to help guide guests
around the Union.

'Spring Prelude'
To Be Presented
At Union Satuday
Hoping to encourage the "balmy
breezes" to pay a permanent vis-
it to Ann Arbor, the members of
the Union dance committee are
planning "Spring Prelude" from
9 p.m. to midnight Saturday in
the Union Ballroom.
Strains of "Wanted," "Young at
Heart" and "Moonlight in Ver-
mont" will help set the mood for
couples as they dance to the mu-
sic of Paul McDonough and his
orchestra.
The band, heard at the Union
throughout this semester and last,
has also played at Gulantics, Paul
Bunyan Dance and Assembly Ball.
Later this term they are planning
to provide the music for the an-
nual J-Hop at Northern Michigan
College of Education in Marquette.
Two professional arrangers,
Earle Pearson and Red Johnson,
are kept busy preparing orchestra-
tions for the group. Pearson and
Johnson have also written the ar-
rangements for the last several
Union Operas and for numbers
peformed by t h e Michigan
Marching Band.
The spring mood willinvade the
ballroom, in the form of a false
ceiling of pink and green crepe
paper. Other decorations will also
carry out the theme, as will the
programs.
Entertainment is being planned
during intermission. Included in
the program will be a hula dance
number, to be performed by Aud-
rey McIntyre.
Tickets for the dance, which is
open to everyone on campus, are
priced at $1.50 per couple. They
will be sold at the door.
Women attending the dance will
find a casual dress and heels the
order of the evening, while men
will be appropriately dressed in
suits.

North Carolina Group
To Provide Program
Of Choral Selections
Giving a decided Dixie accent to
the program, 31 members of the
Davidson College Male Chorus,
Davidson, N. C., will present a con-
cert at 4:15 p.m. Monday in Aud.
A, Mason Hall.
The group will also sing from
6:30 to 7 p.m. in the Main Lounge
of West Quadrangle.
* * s
NOW ON its 21st annual spring
tour, the chorus will perform in
ten cities, covering seven southern
and midwestern states.
Rated as one of the finest
choral groups in the Southeast,
the Davidson College Male Chor-
us was formed more than a half-
century ago by student directors
from an amateur octette.
For several years the group sang
on a series of broadcasts over a
Dixie network. They have also
made a number of coast-to-coast
broadcasts.
* * *
THEIR PRIMARY function is
to give Davidson students a chance
to study choral singing and liter-
ature. Many of its members are
candidates for the ministry and
their training will help them with
their future work.
In addition to off-campus
concerts and radio work, the
group sings at the Davidson Ves-
per Services, and participate in
the annual Spring Fine Arts Fes-
tival and Christmas Vespers.
Only four members of the Chor-
us claim territory above and be-
yond the Mason-Dixon line as
home, with the group representing
eight Southern states and one for-
eign country. The North Carolina'
population is best represented with
South Carolina and Florida follow-
ing.
* * *
PROF. DONALD PLOTT, direc-
tor of the Chorus, is a graduate
of the University. While at the
University, the Davidson director
was soloist and student director of
the Men's Glee Club and also serv-
ed as student director of the Uni-
versity Choir.
Serving as Director of the
Music department, Prof. Plott
is choral director during the
summer at Transylvania Music
Camp in Brevard, N. C.
He went to Davidson from the
directorship of vocal music at
Owosso High School.
* * *
THE PROGRAM will include
Victoria's "Jesu Dulcis," Hasler's
"Cantato Donino," "Out of the
Depths I Cry to Thee," by Bach,
Randall Thompson's "Tarantella,"
a group of Schubert songs for male
voices and spirituals, madrigals
and folk songs.
Founded in 1837 by the Pres-
byterian Church as a non-sec-
tarian small liberal arts college,
Davidson was named for a Rev-
olutionary War hero, who was
killed by the British on the
banks of the Catawba River
while trying to stop Lord Corn-
wallis.
The Civil War and reconstruc-
tion cut the college down almost to
the ground, but after the turn of
the century it expanded again.
Military Ball
Tickets for Military Ball, to
be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Friday, March 26 in the Union
Ballroom, are now on sale. Pric-
ed at $3 per couple, they are
available at North Hall and in
the Temporary Class Building.
The annual formal will feature
the music of Fred Netting and
his orchestra.
Rivals Seek
For Control
Of Slide Rule
Suspense will be running high
this week and next, while the law-
yers try to discover where the en-
gineer's slide rule has been hidden
before the 25th annual Slide Rule
Ball, to take place from 9 p.m. to
1 a.m. on Friday, March 20, in the
League Ballroom.
Rivalry between the two groups
for the possession of the slide rule
developed on campus many years
ago, when law students had classes
in Haven Hall.
* r
THE ENGINEERS would be sta-
tioned at one end of the diagonal,
while the lawyers would guard the
other entrance. Then the barris-
ters parked a car in the middle of
the Engineering Arch, and let the
air out of the tires.
In retaliation, the "engine
gang" would line up all around
the Arch to prevent the lawyers
from reaching their classrooms.
Members of the Law School in
1921 stole the giant slide rule,
which was going to be the main
decoration of the Slide Rule Ball.
* * *
FOR REVENGE, the engineers
invaded Crease Ball with tear gas
bombs and cut the power box cur-
rent.
Since then the success of the
dance is based on whether or not
the barristers are able to find
the hiden slide rule before the
dance.
In 1951 three rules were on hand
to prepare for misfortune. How-
ever the lawyers were successful
and Crease Ball was highlighted
by the presence of two of them.
ONE OF THEM was lost in 1952,
but again the barristers proved
victorious by finding the others in
a locked room of the Union.
Last year it was turnabout for
the engineers,'and the rules pro-
vided a triumphant decoration
for their dance. Unfortunately,
one of them was destroyed,
when about 30 "legal men"
crashed the ball. At this time
also, one of the chaperones suf-
fered a fractured ankle in the
scuffle that ensued.
This year's theme will be
"Spring Prelude," in keeping with
the season. Mel Sachs and his or-
chestra will be featured.
* * *
TICKETS FOR the all campus,
semi-formal dance are priced at
$2.50 per couple, and will be on
sale from Monday through Friday
in the Engineering Arch. They
may also be purchased in the
Technic office or from any mem-

tant. Other committee chairmen

Larry Mack and Jim Snediker,
tickets; Anne Campbell, decora-
tions and Carley Conrad and Ad-
rienne Haigan, programs.
