RE MIC N L flay Director Advocates Better Dramatic Taste, Two Suspects Surrender In Campus Highlights The most naive audience appreci- ates good dramatic art, Charles Mere- dith, director of Le Petit Theatre de Vieux Carre said yesterday in a lec- ture at Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. He urged young drama students and actors to devote their energies to U' Geologists See Possibility Of Mackinac Oil Three University geologists who recently made a study of the Macki- nac Straits area, made predictions concerning their study in a 204-page report, "Geology of the Mackinac Straits Region." The study, made under a contract between the University and the Michigan Department of Conserva- tion, was undertaken by K. K. Landes, George M. Ehlers and George M. Stanley. Limestone Available Near Black Lake Amongthe conclusions they reach- ed were the following:. that oil ex- ploration should be scientifically pur- sued in the Mackinac Straits area of Michigan, that good commercial limestone probably is available be- tween Black Lake and Rogers Cit3 and that abundant salt is present i virtually all of the northern half o the Southern Peninsula. Prof. Landes, wh wrote most of the report, says that the Northern Michigan area has been largely ig- nored as possible oil-bearing terri- tory because the Dundee formation which is theileading oil-producin strata of Michigan, rises to the sur- face in the Straits sedtor. Oil No Respector of Formation Names "Experience has shown," he de- clares in the report, "that oil is nc respector of formation names or even' of geologic age, which means that as oil-bearing formations rise toward the surface the oil reservoirs dror stratigraphically." Oil may, there- fore, be locked up in some of the older formations below the Dun- dee, more of which might be discov- ered throughout Northern Michigan by scientific prospecting with core drill and seismograph, according to Prof. Landes. Straits Below Glacial Drift The Dundee formation also is the one which is a source of limestone. the report reveals. In the Straits area this formation is right below the glacial drift and lies in a curving belt from Presque Isle on Lake Huron to the north side of Traverse Bay on Lake Michigap. The report also reveals that salt is abundant at moderate depths ex- cept in the tip and northwestern half of the area. Polio Attacks Crownded Areas Voluntary isolation when infantile paralysis is prevalent is recommend- ed by Dr. Gordon C. Brown, of the public health school. Remaining away from crowds is probably the best way to guard against contracting the disease, he declared, but this does not mean a person should "shut himself off from civilization." It does mean staying out of crowded public places such as swimming pools, restaurants and theatres. Dr. Brown explained that the method of transmission of the disease has not been established at present, but it is thought by scientists that overall isolation is an effective method of avoiding contraction. Despite the presence of conclusive proof, researchers think the respira- tory route and gastro-intestinal route present the most likely methods of transmission. The disease usually strikes children from five to 15 years of age during July, August and Sep- tember, but may come at any time of the year. Insects, including flies, may also be involved in transmis- sion, he pointed out. Epidemics of the disease, which attacks adults as well as children, oc- curred in Detroit. in 1939, 1944 and 1945. The rest of the state also suf- fered a 1940 epidemic, but Dr. Brown indicated that there was little polio- myelitis in Michigan between 1940 and 1944. the cause of justifiable stage pro- ductions and asserted that their task could be successful. Art' Is Merely Accepted "People accept the culture of the commercial gadget age only because it is the best they can get," Meredith said. "I believe that arguments ad- vanced by movie and radio producers and directors on the commercial stage that people are supplied with she popular theatre they demand are nere excuses." He attacked radio for submission to commercial use, and resultant ;heap programs, which he described as "a narcotic complement" to be ;aken with advertising publicity. He also assailed Hollywood and zurrent stage trends. "Little theatre is often called non- ,ommercial because it is not good enough to earn money," he said. Meredith called the funniest line .n "State of the Union," last year's 3roadwa hit, "I'd rather be tight Shan be president" an example of 'how American tastes can deterior- caste Must Be Cultivated He cited quotations from Tallulah 3ankhead, George Bernard Shaw and >thers in architecture and engineer- ing fields who understand that kmerican tastes hAve to be culti- vated, that people must be trained to have vision, and must have courage ;o resist the cultural ruts in society. Meredith's salary is paid by the Rockefeller foundation so that he man produce unusual plays and dis- -over actors with unusual and not :tereotyped talents in the Little heatres. He studied dramatics iboard, in the great French theatres n Paris, at the Moscow Art Theatre, in Germany and in London, and 3ame back convinced that even in American theatres that are supposed o be great, there is neither style ior standard of performance. Studied Art Aboard "Unique talents are not discovered and developed here," he said. "Rather, scripts, vocabularies, sent- ances and parts are cut to suit cover ;irls. There is no superior philosophy of the nature of the theatre, no rep- ertoire of imagination, no individ- uality." High purpose, ideals and art that fosters social concepts can be en- Jouraged, and developed, Meredith said. [VETERANS' NOTES As of June 30, 2,916,357 veterans of World War II had applied for education or training under the GI Bill. In Michigan, 20 private hospitals are under contract with the VA to provide immediate hospitalization for veterans with service connected disabilities when it is impractical to use VA hospitals. The hospitals, which provide a total of 250 available beds, are located in Grand Rapids, Detroit, Muskegon, Bad Axe, Lan- sing, Kalamazoo, Jackson, Midland, Newberry, Ludington, Powers, Pon- tiac, Saginaw, Traverse City, Ypsi- lanti, and Eloise. Through the end of June Michi- gan veterans had secured 7,393 loans provided under the provisions of the GI Bill totaling $32,669,- 894. The average loan amounted to $4,430 and the average guarantee by the VA was $2,102 or slightly less than 50 per cent. More than 90 per cent were for homes and the remainder were business and farm loans.

Sumeracki of Detroit, is in the custody of a Detroit attorney who said he would surrender Sumer- acki to the court, Foster reported. Charles B. Bohn of Detroit, presi- dent of the board of the Michigan National Bank and of the Bohn Aluminum and Brass Corp., another defendant, is in South America. Foster said he had asked William Henry Gallagher, attorney for Bohn and the four other Michigan Nation- al Bank representatives who were in- dicted, to give him some indication when Bohn would surrender.

GO JUMP IN THE RIVER: Banks of Huron River Serve Swimmers with Nearby Beach Most Michigan students vaguely realize that there are swimming places near and around Ann Arbor, but think they have to take a half day off and catch a bus somewhere or hitch hike for the privilege of cooling off. There is a Municipal bathing Tourist HomweF Owneers Feud Over D ri vewy Although the sign at the city limits says: "Ann. Arbor, a Friendly City," the antics of a tourist room operator near the University directly contra- dict the Chamber of Commerce's as- sertion. Mutual dislike between two ad- joining householders who both rent tourist rooms has deepened into a serious feud with the passing of the years. Recently the boundary line between the houses was re-surveyed and one party acquired an additional six inches of the property which had previouslybeen a part of the neigh- bor's driveway. During the absence of the neigh- boring owner, this cherubic soul is now constructing a two and a half foot high cement fence on the newly acquired six inchescofedriveway. At best it will be a close squeeze for any automobile to get through the narrowed drive-way, although the boarders have not yet been able to try because the drive is now blocked by the wooden frames holding the concrete. Inspect Vet Records For Michigan Bonus LANSING, July 24-(P)-Both the War and Navy Departments will per- mit an inspection of their records for purposes of paying a bonus to Michi- gan ex-servicemen, Col.

Three docks and a pier are spaced more than half way across the river offering good swimmers a challenge. The first dock, located 20 yards from the pier has a water depth of four and five feet. The second dock lo- cated 35 yards from the pier has a low diving, board and is located in water six feet deep. The third dock is located 93 yards from the pier and contains high and low ,diving boards. This dock is located in water 10 feet deep. Swimming lessons are given from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. everyday for be- ginners, advanced beginners and ad- vanced swimmers. All swimming lessons are free and courses in junior, and senior life saving are also taught at the beach. Special classes are held for adult swimmers.
