Nearly 500'educators, sportsmen, farmers and wildlife experts gath- ered for the two-day session which began yesterday. Conferees will draw up a set of recommendations for submission to Gov. Williams and the Legislature. The event is sponsored by the University, Michigan State Col- lege and the Michigan College of Mining and Technology. Arts Center's NiewDrama Set To Open Initial performance of "Anti- gone," by Jean Anouilh, opening here Friday at the Dramatic Arts Center, was presented in Paris in 1943 because of a misinterpreta- tion of the play's meaning by Ger- man military censors. Since France was occupied by the German army, sanction of the German censor was needed before" the play could be produced. The interpretation was a glorification of the stat over man, and permis- sion was granted. However, to the French people the play represent- ed the strength of the individual over the state. In fact, Antigone represented France, herself. Opens Friday The play, which will open at the DAC at 8:15 p.m. Friday. was, first presented in this country nine years ago, starring Katherine Cor- nell.1 Based on the Greek tragedy by Sophocles, Anouilh's version is an1 adaptation of the same story, to be -resented in modern dress. The translation is by Lewis Galantiere. Innovations Fifteen light lenses have been# rented by the DAC for this pro- duction to afford greater flexibili- ty in lighting. The play is act-_ ed on different stage levels, intro- ducing an innovation in physical design at the Center. Dean Stanley G. Fontanna, of the School of Natural Resources, and member of a three-nan con- ference organization committee, presided over the first general ses- sion. Also attending is Dean Emeritus Samuel T. Dana, of the School of Natural Resources, who summar- ized .the resource situation in Michigan. Conservation, Not Exploitation According to Dean Danr, Mich- igan's prosperity always has de- pended largely on its natural re- sources. He stressed the impor- tance of conservation rather than exploitation. Prof. Kenneth Davis, chairman of thR Department of Forestry, heads the section discussing prob- lems of forestry. Prof. Stanley A. Cain, chairman of the Department of Conservation, will speak to the land section on "More People-- More Public Land?" 1,000 NAPKINS: By ARLIS GARON "Hey, Joe! Got a cigarette?" "Can't you read signs? 'Lighted tobacco is not to be brought into or through this building.'" Cigarette butts on classroom floors where % "No Smoking" sign is in view and smoke circling around lecture halls indicate that these signs may be read but aren't being heeded. "No Harm Once Inside" Commented one student, "I take those signs to mean we can't car- ry a lighted cigarette into the building. We can light it once we get inside." Smoking is allowed in corridors where there are sand receptacles. Classrooms, such as seminar rooms b e a r i n g "smoking permitted" signs, furnish ashtrays for smok- ers' convenience. Private offices also permit smoking. "'No Smoking' signs only re- mind me I want a smoke," com- plained a coed. "They are bad psy- chologically." Classes Interrupted Students have been surprised lately by attempts to enforce these regulations. Security officers and janitors have been interrupt- ing lectures to stop sign violators. Herbert G. Watkin, UniversityJ Secretary and Assistant Vice-Pres- ident, said he believes it is diffi- cult to control smoking unless a special person would be delegated a to patrol each building.A According to Albert E. Heusel,J Chief Security Officer, "all smok- ing regulations are being enforced 1 to the utmost of our ability." i t t 51 Studnt .ooks 6+l- L:-:: ?i: i. :::::::::.-W.. n:::::::::>: i:::v:"::::L:4:i: i>i: }; :::": '+>....

In the 15 foreign branches of alumni groups, however, plans for celebrating - the anniversary have already been made. From the Alumni Association office here, 1,000 maize and blue cocktail nap- kins were mailed yesterday to its subsidiaries all over the world. The University birthday party "season," according to the asso- ciation's General Secretary T. Hawley Tapping, extends over a three-week period, with celebra- tions and banquets held through- out the world. The napkins have been sent to all the groups as a souvenir of Ann Arbor. Most foreign alumni groups and clubs have headquarters in far eastern and South American cities, and are composed l'argely of form- er University foreign students. Bureau Meet Set On Summer Jobs The Bureau of Appointments has announced registration for summer jobs. Summer placement in hotels, camps, resorts and industries all over the country is now open to all students. Registration with 'the Bureau will be discussed at L, meeting at 4 p.m. tomorrow in Auditorium C, Angell Hall. Anyone interested in summer placement m attend. Man is actually the weaker sex, according to a recent article in the American M e d i c a 1 Association Journal. A survey covering one day in 1953 showed that in the 6,840 reg- stered hospitals throughout the nation there were 1,206,592 pa- ients. Men comprised 642,156 of hese people while there were only 564,436 women-77,720 men. Pregnancy Factor Overcome These figures seem even more tartling when the fact that preg- nancy greatly increases the num- ber of hospitalized women is con- idered. But according to the Journal urvey even in the child-bearing years of a woman's life, between 5 and 44, the number of men in hospitals exceeds the number of women by 13,000. In the years be- ween 45 and 64 the excess rose Collections for the Student Book Exchange will officially begin Mon- day, according to Harvey Freed, '56, assistant manager of the Sm- dent Legislature sponsored book store. Residence unit agents have been requested to begin collecting Mon- day, and books may be turned in at the SL office in Quonset Hut 'A' from 3 to 5 p.m. beginning the same day. Books will also be collected in the Mason Hall lobby from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Jan. 21, 22, 24, 25, and 26. This semester the sale will be held in the lobby of Alumni Me- morial Hall, located across the street from the Union. Books may also be turned in to be sold from 1 to 5 p.m. Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at Memorial Hall and during the sale, Freed said. s b sl y 1 h t I5t to 51,000. But after the age of 65, about the same amouuit of men as women are hospitalized. Difference Explained Dr. Franke.nDickinson, direc- tor of the American Medical As- sociation Bureau of Medical Eco- nomic Research says that a study of accidents and occupational dis- eases might explain this difference in hospitalization rates. However, it could not explain why there are 11,300 more nales' sthan females in hospitals that are less than fifteen years old. Leys and Reis To Teach Here "Philosophic Bases of Commun- ism, Fascism and Democracy," Philosophy 63, will be taught next semester by Prof. Wayne A. R. Leys. Prof. Leys, now teaching at Roosevelt College in Chicago, will also teach courses in Ethics and Pragmatism. Another addition to the depart- ment of philosophy will be Prof. Lincoln Reis, now the head of the philsophy department at Long Is- land University, who will teach courses in Contemporary Philo- sophy, Aristotle and Medieval Philosophy.

Pressure by Students SAC suggested that students who were aware of the require- ments could bring some pressure to bear on landlords for improve- ments. But it was also brought up that housing is extremely scarce in Ann Arbor, and students did not have much choice of rooms. City Director of the Department of Building and Safety Engineer- ing John E. Ryan has said there is only one-half of one per cent vacancies in the city's rooming houses. He cited 10 per cent as the normal, desirable ratio. SAC discussion centered also.on Prof. Brown's proposals. Although agreeing that paid University in- spectors would alleviate the task of inspection, the Committee fail- ed to come up with a department that could finance such a plan, IHC Asks Seniors About Hall Needs Seniors living in the residence halls recently received a question- naire outlining possible future"fea- tures of proposed dormitories. Since the Inter-House Council felt seniors were most familiar* with features in the dorms, they were asked to give their opinions on such matters as room prefer- ences, suites, study halls, maid service and telephone systems. According to IHC President Stan Levy, '55, the survey will be used as a guide to planning of residence halls "for the next 20 or 30 years By DEBRA DURCHSLAG An intent audience yesterday heard Prof. David Daiches of Cambridge University explore the possibility of innocence in Shakes- peare's world-coming to the con- clusion that in the real world guilt is unavoidable. Drawing on Shakespeare's en- tire range of production, Prof. Daiches closely analyze(' seven plays in particular. His first theme was the "moral ambiguity of in- nocence," where innocence, plays into the hands of evil as in "Othello." Tragedies of Innocence According to Prof. Daiches, "Hamlet" and "Othello" are trag- edies of o'utraged innocence. Once Hamlet realizes the existence of evil in the world, nothing can re- Zionist Group Formed. Here A permanent Zionist organiza- tion has been established at the University and on 59 other college campuses of the United States and Canada, according to the Youth Department of the American Zion- ist Council. Several hundred students from all parts of the country voted at a recently concluded convention in New York City to establish chap- ters of the Student Zionist Or- ganization" on as many campuses as possible. David Darsky, the University's representative on the National Council, said that a similar or- ganization, the Inter-Collegiate Zionist Organization, previously existed on the campus. store his shattered idealism. Even justice does nothing to help the morally outraged innocent. -A different point of view is tak- en in "Measure .for Measure," Prof. Daiches said. In that play no character is free from guilt, and therefore no character has the right to judge. Here it is mercy that saves the day, although in "Hamlet" even mercy is impos- sible. Theme Later Reversed In Shakespeare's later plays he reverses the theme of innocence co-operating with evil. In such plays as "Winter's Tale" and "The Tempest," good is shown to come out of evil. However, Prof. Daiches emphasized that tragedy is avoid- ed.. only in the magic world of Prospero's island. Prof. Daiches ended his lecture with the conclusion hat "Perhaps man cannot live in paradise," but on the other hand, there is "glory even in the tragic paradoxes of human nature."

This country's demand for elec- trical goods will be 100% greater than it is today. But there will be only 11% more workmen. How can production per man be boosted enough to close the gap? For one answer, 31-year-old P H. Alspach, Manager of Manufacturing Development at G.E., is exploring automation. Automation: Continuous Automatic Production Automation is a way of manufacturing based on the continuous-flow concept. Products will be made, inspected, assembled, tested, and packaged by a series of integrated ma- chines in one uninterrupted flow. As industry evolves toward greater automation, more workmen will become skilled machine spe- cialists or maintenance experts able to con- trol complete systems. Phil Alspach and the men under him now draft layouts for automatic systems, tackle the engineering problems involved, design automation equipment, and even build some. 23,000 College Graduates at G.E.
