I PAGIZ EIHT TH1E MICHIGAN~ DAILY TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1954 'SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER': Teacher, Student Appear in DAC Play VAST OPPORTUNITIES: By PHYLLIS LIPSKY A pair of runaway lovers, 18th century style, will be played by Robert Kingston of the English de- partment and Sue Serotte, '55, in Oliver Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer." Opening Thursday at the Dramat- ic Arts Center, the play will run through Jan. 9 with performances Thursdays through Sundays except for Christmas weekend. British Accent Kingston, whose British accent matches his role as an 18th cen- tury Britisher is .at the University as an exchange teacher from Ox- ford University. An English litera- ture major while at Oxford, he is now teaching English composition and a special seminar section for junior English Honor majors. He calls acting "a hobby I can never quite get away from" but says he prefers an academic ca- reer. "I feel most comfortable," Kings- ton explained, "doing 18th century and restoration comedy, probably because 18th century literature is my field." His first role, Lavinia in Shaw's "Androcles and the Lion," came when he was 14 years old "before my voice changed." As an undergraduate and later as a research student at Oxford he played for six years with the school's dramatic society. Character Role Capt. Potts in the recent Dramat- ic Arts Center production of "The ManyJobsFound in TV Studio The white building at 310 May- nard with the deceptively quiet ex- terior is, in reality,' the center of one of the University's busiest and most profitable enterprises. Although the Television Studio cannot count its gains in monetary profit, the value of its educational TV programs and the steady s t r e a m of experienced, well- trained students they turn out is considered much more valuable. From the moment the studio opens its doors in the morning, people stream steadily in and out. Script writers, prop men, direc- tors, engineers, actors, camera men and specialists in editing and processing films all may be seen there. Teaching by the "workshop" principle, the studio lets its stu- dents learn by actually putting on the shows themselves. They may find themselves in a lead role one day and painting scenery the next. But they learn the why's and how's of television in every department. A great portion of the studio's time is devoted to making kineo- scopes of educational TV pro- grains. Noted for turning out some of the finest programs in the country, the studio carries on re- search work constantly in learning the best ways of presenting educa- tional programs, ~ -Daily-Dean Morton ROBERT KINGSTON AND SUE SEROTTE Moon on the Yellow River" was Kingston's first character role. In contrast to Potts, George Hast- ings whom he portrays in "She Stoops to Conquer" he describes as "a typical 18th century gallant. A man of wit, suavity and accom- plished galantry, but only occa- sionally of genuine feeling." Increase in Korean Veteran Enrollment Seen Next Year By DIANE LA BAKAS An increase of 70 per cent in Korean war veteran enrollment is expected at the University next year, according to Marjorie Uren, Supervisor of Veteran Affairs. The University's anticipation of a 30 per cent increase in veteran enrollment over last year was sur- passed this semester by 30 per- cent, she continued. Last year ap- proximately 967 veterans were en- rolled. Approximately 1,400 veterans are now attending classes, Mrs. Uren added. Enlistees Separated More veterans are expected in 1955, Mrs. Uren said, because Coast Guard, Air Force and Navy enlistees from 1951 and 1952 will be getting separations which will make them eligible for 36 months of education and training. "I expect probably a 20 per cent increase for the spring term and a 50 per cent increase at the be- ginning of the fall semester," Mrs. Uren remarked. Statistics reveal that the in- creasing trend of enrolling Korean veterans has prevailed throughout the state with Wayne University 'U' Hospital Starts New-Born Baby Picture Service Baby pictures taken less than 24 hours after birth are a new service being offered to mothers at Uni- versity Hospital. Taken by an attendant in the nursery, they are finished in De- troit and returned for hospital files. A company representative visits the mothers with a packet includ- ing sample birth announcements and a copy of the baby's picture. It is returned if the mother does not wish to purchase the pictures. University Hospital is one of the few hospitals taking these pic- tures. An opportunity is offered for mothers to start an early photo- graphic record of their children. A poster in the Women's Hospital Clinic gives advance notices for prospective parents. "The pictures taken just before feeding turn out particularly well," a nursery staff member comment- ed.

The University's veteran en- rollment reached its peak, in 1948 when it hit the 11,000 mark. Per- centagewise, more Korean veterans are taking advantage of a college education, primarily because most of the veterans are younger men, Mrs. Uren commented. Monthly Allowance Veterans are now receiving a monthly education allowance from the government with which they buy books, pay tuition and other expenses. Under the Korean Veteran Bill a veteran with a full-time train- ing program, (14 credit hours), single, with no dependents, re- ceives $110 a month. Fifthy-five per cent of the veterans fall into this category. Twenty-five per cent, with one dependent, are receiving $135. Twenty per cent of the veterans with more than one dependent are receiving $160. Like Kingston, Miss Serotte does not plan to make a career of act- ing. By majoring in English, she is aiming at a liberal education while remaining in a field close to dra- matics. Acts in Buffalo After six years in dramatic school Miss Serotte got her first role in a full length play when she was a high school sophomore in her native Buffalo. In "The Little Foxes" she played Birdie , a 40 year old alcoholic, with a Buffalo University student group. Recently she has ' played such parts as the title role in the yast year's Arts Theater children's play, "The Ugly Duckling." She calls it her first "musical role" be- cause it included a song called "The Ugly Duckling Blues." Constance Niville, her part in "She Stoops to Conquer," she char- acterizes as "a young, lively, im- pulsive girl with a lot of guts." "She wants Hastings, but she wants her fortune, too," and to avoid losing it takes a number of chances in fooling her aunt. After her graduation in June, Miss Serrotte's plans include mar- riage to a dental student. Acting has "always been more or less an extra curricular activity" and will remain a part time hobby.

Their job is to check the films for continuity and make sure the taped programs run exactly in their allotted time. White gloves keep the film clean. TEST PATTERN-Camera man moves the camera "in" to get a clear picture of the test pattern. The test design, familiar to most television viewers, enables him to focus his equipment and get the correct grayness contrast in the picture. CONFERENCE-Studio men hash over possible staging of a tele- vision show. Similar conferences take place when discussing the original idea for the show, the writing of the script and the visual aids.
