Drafting Set 795 himself, but since the movie dealt with Hurok's L arly career, the script called for the violinist to appear in a 1911 sequence. Suddenly, somebody realized that Stern would be playing him- self as an adult, nine years before he was born. The result was that Stern played the role of Eugene Ysaye, a great violinist of that day. Prades Festival Stern was one of the distin- guished musicians from many countries who received the honor of an invitation to appear with Pablo Casals at the 1950 Festival at Prades, France. Stern described the occasion as "probably the greatest experience of my life," and appeared with Casals again the following sum- mer in Perpignan and again in Prades in 1952. Stern was born July 21, 1920 in Kriminiesz, Russia. His parents brought him to San Francisco when he was a year old, and at six began studying the piano. Two years later he switched to the violin and at the age of ten entered the San Francisco Con- servatory of Music. After his local debut a year later, he made guest performances under Pierre Mon- teux's direction; later made ap- pearances with the Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and Chicago Orchestras. Concert Debut He made his concert debut in 1937 and proceedeu to appear on concert tours. With his Carnegie Hall concert Ja-.. 12, 1943, Virgil Thomson, New York music critic, labelled him "one of the world's master fiddle players." Included on his program tomor- row will bc works by Corelli, Franck, Mozart and Paganini. Tickets for the performance are available at the offices of the Uni- versity Musical Society in Burton Tower. They are priced at $3, $2.50, $2 and $1 50. The Theosophical Society in Ann Arbor presents A PUBLIC LECTURE ''PERFECTION OF MAN" The public is cordially invited. No admission charge.

Meeting Place: 736 South State (N.W. corner State and Hill) Information On Vaccine Kept Secret The "extremely rigid system of security" surrounding the evalua- tion now in progress on the Salk Polio Vaccine has been increased with new elements, according to Dr. Thomas Francis Jr., director of the Vaccine Center. In a letter to Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, medical director for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Dr. Francis outlined the security program which restricts significant data to an inner staff. Information is transcribed on code cards with different persons preparing the various sections of the data. Once entered, data is im- possible to interpret without the code keys. In an effort to prevent prema- ture and inaccurate reporting on the data, no preliminary evalua- tion has been done, said Dr. Fran- cis.

By JANE HOWARD Somewhere on campus, grossly misplaced, are the signs which once identified front lawns of two sorority houses here. Presumably victims of fraternity pledge pranks, members of the houses are indignant over the loss of the insignia, which earlier this year bore the sororities' Greek- letter names. Alpha Omicron Pi and Chi Ome- ga affiliates are both curious about the pranksters. "It's not that the signs themselves were so valu- New Sales High Reported for SBX A new sales record for this se- mester's Student Book Exchange was announced yesterday after book sales closed. Totals showed net sales to be $8,907.39 for the five-day sale, ap- proximately $1,200 more than the previous high, according to the as- sistant manager of the Exchange, Harvey Freed, '56. Students who turned in books to be sold may pick up their checks and unsold books from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at Alumni Memorial Hall, Freed said. able," one coed reported, "but it's annoying to think that college students still haven't passed the sign-stealing stage. That's little- boy stuff." Both houses suspect neighboring fraternities of the thefts. Each of the signs was bought and erected last fall. The Chi Omega insignia, found missing shortly after the rushing season, was first to go. "For a while we tried to find out who'd done it," a member explained, "but nothing came of it. By now we've just about given up." AOPi's had better luck. Their sign, firmly soldered, hung to mark the Oxford Rd. house until members discovered its absence after the semester vacation. "We've narrowed it down to two possibilities," according to Mary Stuart, '56, "and we won't give up until it's found." Miss Stuart ex- plained that an older AOPi sign was stolen several years ago, and recovered just this year by a sharp-eyed member. Fraternity members suspected by the sororities enthusiastically de- nied any part in the thefts. "In fact," commented a wistful mem- ber, "they're almost too enthusi- astic." For Sure? CMCAGO (I)-The Weath- er Bureau Tuesday forecast with extreme certainty that it will be 85 years old today. An item which was trans- mitted on its forecast wire not- ed: "The national weather ser- vice was created by a joint con- gressional resolution approved on Feb. 9, 1870." Nelson Picked For NACJob Prof. Wilbur C. Nelson, chair- man of the aeronautical engineer- ing department, has been named a member of the subcommittee on fluid mechanics for 1955 by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Prof. Relson is one of the 400 specialists selected for the 28 tech- nical committees and subcommit- tees because of their "ability, ex- perience, and leaderships in a spe- cial field" the NACA has reported. These committees provide ma- terial assistance in the considera- tion of problems related to their technical fields, review research in progress'both at NACA laborator- ies and in other organizations, rec- ommend research projects to be undertaken and assist in the coor- dination of research programs. Simes Hits Perpetuity Rationale Prof. Lewis M. Simes of the Uni- versity Law School attacked the original rationale upon vhich the legal policy against perpetuities is based. In the second session of the an- nual Cooley Lecture Series, he said that perpetuities (restrictions of the transfer of property which ex- tends more than 21 years beyond the death of a specified person) are considered illegal in England and in many of the states here. The original policy of the law was that alienability (the right to transfer property) was necessary to ensure productivity of the property. Prof. Simes said that this is no longer a sound reason for the rule, because conditions have changed so that now inalien- able property is not necessarily unproductive. For example, he pointed out, if the subject matter is corporate shares, the corporation has con- trol over the property represented in the stocks and bonds. In the case of a trust, the pow- er of alienation is vested in the trustee. Sale Allowed Prof. Simes noted that in the case of an emergency, the law often allows judicial sale of the af- fected property. He stated that he is not against the rule itself, and in his lecture at 4:15 p.m. today he plans to dis- cuss what he considers a true ra- tionale of the rule. Phi Tau HOuse Still Unfilled Due to a combination of cir- cumstances, Phi Kappa Tau fra- ternity is now advertising for po- tential boarders, president Douglas Donnan, '56, said yesterday. At present the kitchen is unable to operate efficiently because of the small number of members who eat in the house, he said. About half of themembers work for their meals, thus eating away from the house. In addition, many pledges who will be activated by the end of the week are not allowed to leave the residence halls for the rest of the school year because of their contracts, Donnan continued, and therefore haven't been eating at the Phi Kappa Tau house. While only 18 actives are living in the 28-person capacity house at present, the house should be fully occupied next semester, Donnan concluded.

MILLER received his B.S. in Chei cal Engineering from Ohio State University in Jun 1937. During the following month he started wo: with the Organic Chemicals Department of Du Po: at Deepwater Poinit, N. J. Since. then he has receive and given many kinds of technicaltraining. Toda Don Miller is a general superintendent at Du Pont' Chambers Works-well qualified to answer question about training programs for college men. DRESSLAR M. PRUETT expects to receive his B.S. in Industrial Engi- neering this summer from Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Col- lege at Stillwater, Okla. He is president of the local student branch of A.I.I.E. Naturally, he is interested in selecting the best job opportunity for a successful career based on his technical training. Don Miller answers: Training has many facets in a big firm like Du Pont, Dress, and a great deal of thought has been given to make it truly effective. We look upon training as a very important factor in a man's career. We think that the best way to train a col- lege graduate is to give him a maximum of on-the-job re- sponsibility in a minimum length of time. That's the general guiding policy at Du Pont, Dress. Of course, each department varies this general policy to suit its special needs. A new man being trained for produc- tion supervision may first spend a year or so in laboratory or plant development work. Or he may spend his training period as a plant operator. Thus a man obtains firsthand knowledge of his process, and establishes a bond of mutual respect with the men he'll be working with on his first major assignment. A young man interested in sales is often first assigned to a plant or laboratory dealing with the products he will later sell; or he may join a group of trainees to learn selling tech- niques right from the start. 4 I I I
