PAGE FOUR Chiang Kai-shek Is Praised by Dr. Shepherd Generalissimo Called China's Strong Man "You can't talk to him for a mo- ment without knowing that he is master of the situation and master of you," said Dr. George W. Shepherd in speaking of Chiang Kai-shek yes- terday at the first panel discussion of the Chinese Conference. Dr. Shepherd, missionary in China and personal advisor to the general- issimo, characterized him as the strong man needed to rule a recent- ly united people. "Chiang's secret of success," explained Dr. Shepherd, "is the fact that he stood for what was in the hearts of the youth of China." Opposes Chiang's Critics To the critics of Chlang, Dr. Shep- herd pointed out that without him there would be no national govern- ment in China, and, in fact, no or- ganized resistance to Japan in Asia today. "The revolution under Sun Yat Sen was not a people's revolution," Shepherd declared, "but was planned by intellectuals and engineered by secret societies." Even today only one percent of the Chinese belong to the People's party, he said. "We don't think of the present administration in China as being permanent any more than we think of the present administration in this country as permanent," Shepherd remarked. Chiang Wants Republic The two most important things to remember about Chiang Kai-Shek, according to Dr. Shepherd, are that his primary interest is in the com- mon people and that he is determined to build a modern republic in China. Dr. Shepherd was preceded by Dr. Esson M. Gale, director of the Inter- national Center and chairman of the panel, who discussed the government of China. Unification Discussed Following Dr. Shepherd's talk was a discussion of the unification of China by Shih-Chia Chu of the Li- brary of Congress, who pointed out the difficulties involved. He men- tioned the size of the country, the numerous dialects, poor transporta- tion facilities, intervention of foreign powers, and conflicts with the Com- munists, as obstacles which had to be surmounted. Celia Chao and Tsang Chi-Mou, graduate students at 'the University, and Dr. P. T. Sah, president of the National University of Amoy, as well as Dr. Shepherd and Mr. Shih-Chia Chu were members of the group which answered questions put to them by people in the audience at the close of the session. Co-op Organization Elects New Council Officers Herman Hudson was recently elected president of the Inter-Coop- erative Council, Inc. and Harold Mill- er was elected vice-president.

THE MICHGA 1L FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1944 I TAKEN FROM SOURCE: Van Deur'sen To Costumes for Play Modeled on Direct Russian AN) 7U X~T . 0. i U w - I Campus Music Programmes of the Week Modern INative Palestine Garb By studying the present native dress in Palestine, which closely re- sembles the garb of Biblical times, we have been able to design the cos- tumes for the 'Journey to Jerusa- lem,' the present offering of the Repertory Players," Miss Lucy Bar- ton, costumiere for the Players, said yesterday. Internationally known for her work in costume designing, Miss Barton is the head of the dramatic arts de- partment at the University of Ai- zona. This is her third season with the Repertory Players. Was Trained at Four Colleges She received her BA in drama at Carnegie Institute of Technology and her MA in history of criticism of Fine Arts from New York University. She also attended the Drama School of Yale and did graduate work at Ox- ford. In 1934, Miss Barton was costu- miere for the Globe Shakespearean Theatre at the Chicago Exposition. "The stage was prolonged and we were confronted with the problem of making the Elizabethan costumes look like real clothes," she said. "The effect was finally achieved by having the players wear their costumes throughout the day," she added. Also Directed Pageants In addition to her work in costume designing, Miss Barton has directed several pageants, "In the pageant of Niagara Falls, the emphasis was placed on the texture and color of the set, while the small details were subordinated," she stated. The author of several books, Miss Barton has submitted articles to many magazines including the Na- tional Collegiate Players' Organ, Speech Monographs and the Players' Magazine.
