PAGE EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1951 . ri r i ri+ SPECIAL MUSIC EFFECTS: 'The Enchanted' Will Open Tonight (v.. -. - P * ~ Recorded muscic written espec- ially for the original production will lend a special effect to the speech department's presentation of "The Enchanted" which will open at 8 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Written by the celebrated French playwright Jean Giradoux and translated by Maurice Valen- cy, "The Enchanted" is a witty, engaging fantasy about a young French schoolteacher named Isa- bel who believes she can talk to a ghost. * * * PORTRAYED BY Dorothy Gu- tekunst, Grad., Isabel hopes to rid the town of many of its evils by communicating with a spirit, played by Ted Heusel, Grad. Falling in love with the hand- some Supervisor of Weights and Measures, however, is not part of her original plan. Neverthe- less, William Bromfield, Grad., as the supervisor, convinces her that she must include love in her plan. The story develops in a fascin- ating manner with the support of a pompous government inspector, played by Nafe Katter, Grad.; Richard Burgwin, Grad., who han- dles the part of the gentle mayor; and the understanding doctor who is portrayed by Donald Klechner, Grad. Further complications are con- tributed by theMangebois sisters -the town busy-bodies-perform- ed by Joyce Bohyer, Grad. and Ann Drew, Grad. They are aided and abetted in their humorous schemes by the two executioners and two visitors to the town. The latter characters will be played by Ron Soble, Will- ard Booth, Arthur Nevins and Conrad Stolzenbach, all of whom are graduate students in the speech department. Also in the cast are a group of Ann Arbor high school girls in- cluding Mimi Keniston, Judy Fin- gerle, Peggy Mahoney, Nancy and Norma Haisch, Anne Branson and Mary Dolph. GIRADOUX won the New York Critics Award for the best foreign Read and Use Daily Classifieds Prejudices Discussed By ohnson "Economic conflicts and disap- pointments invite exaggerated an- ieties and hostilities which are easily turned into the channels of race and group prejudice," Char- les S. Johnson told the Summer Conference on Intercultural Edu- cation yesterday. "The ambition of every good American is to rise to a position of power, wealth and luxury," he continued. "When these goals are blocked, many accept prejudicial attitudes, simply because they en- joy a considerable degree of social acceptance and approval." Johnson, a sociologist and au- thor, is president of Fisk Univer- sity in Nashville, Tenn. He has also served as a researcher for the National Urban League. * -* AS AN EXAMPLE, Johnson said the fluctuation in acceptance of the Chinese and Japanese on the West Coast is in relation to wheth- er their economic position at a given moment is a threat or a necessity. He also emphasized that eco- nomic achievements play a big part in reaching higher levels of social structure in this coun- try. "Thus, the more difficult the rise in the economic scale, the slower the process of accept- ance of the minority group." "As a result of an emphasis on education for understanding of cultural and racial problems, there has been a wave of special pro- jects, fitful programs, intercultural and interracial events of varying character," Johnson said. He claimed that some of the projects can actually prove detri- mental, psychologically and emo- tiorially, because they call atten- tion to a special setting or special differences. During the afternoon session of the conference, Sarita Davis, li- brarian at the University Elemen- tary School, described the "G.I. Education for American Children in Germany." "The release of responsibility and power to the German Repub- lic by the three power High Com- mission and the change in em- phasis from tripartite armies of occupation police to an interna- tional defense force against pos- sible foreign invasion is being ac- companied by an official policy of f r i e n d l y democratic relations," Miss Davis said. DRIVERS' DELIGHT New Battery Developed By U' Research Group A lightweight storage battery which starts a car at 65 degrees below zero has been developed at the University Engineering Re- search Institute under the spon- sorship of the U. S. Army Ord- nance Corps. Expected to have wide applica- tion not only in military installa- tions but commercially, the bat- tery utilizes a new principle in the construction of the grids. According to Prof. L. L. Carrick, of the chemical engineering de- partment, and L. S. Gerber of the Detroit Arsenal, directors of the research project, the new battery was made possible by successfully lead plating materials ordinarily corroded by sulphuric acid. This makes it possible to re- place large amounts of the lead used in standard batteries with aluminum, brass, iron or copper. The use of thes;. materials results in a much lighter yet more power- ful battery. DESIGNED TO meet the exact- ing standards of widespread mili- tary operations, the new battery has withstood tests proving it to operate effectively at temperatures ranging from 165 degrees above to 65 degrees below zero. The bat- tery, also maintains a constant high power output over a long per- iod of time, saves both space and weight compared with commercial batteries now in use and main- tains its charge for long periods of time when not in use. Professor's Wife Passes Mrs. Jemima A. Lorch, 70 year old wife of Professor Emeritus Emil Lorch, founder of the College of Architecture and Design, died yesterday morning in St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital after a long illness. Actively participating in music organizations here, Mrs. Lorch was once treasurer of the former Chamber Music Association and a patroness of Sigma Alpha Iota mu- sic sorority. She was also a charter member and past-president of the Faculty Women's Club. Following their marriage in 1906, Mr. and Mrs. Lorch lived in Ann Arbor for the past 45 years. The problem of the "still start- er" is eliminated by this new- type battery according to Gerb- er and Prof. Carrick. It is now a common phenomenon for a car owner to find his battery dead after the car has been idle for a while during the summer, or stored in the garage for the winter. This will be a thing of the past when this new battery is available commercially for the "low self-dis- charge rate"' (reduction in the use- ful life of the battery while not in use) characteristic of this new bat- tery allows a car to stand idle all winter and still start. This minimal reduction in the useful life of the battery while not in use is due to the new method of utilizing pure lead plating on a lighter metal base instead of the lead antimony alloy now used to produce the grid core in a stand- ard battery plate. The initial starting power at- tributable to the new battery was vividly demonstrated in a laboratory test under conditions comparable to starting a stiff automobile engine on a cold win- ter morning with the thermome- ter hitting zero. A standard battery and one of the new type were each subjected to a 300-ampere discharge rate. The standard make 12-volt battery was reduced to six volts in one minute and 23 seconds, where as the aluminum grid battery held up for two minutes and 39 seconds, or virtually twice as long. 'U' Quintet To Perform Tomorrow The University Woodwind Quin- tet will present a concert. at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in Rackham Lec- ture Hall as a part of the Third Annual Band Conductors Work- shop being held on the campus this week. The concert will be given by faculty members of the University music school. The musicians are Nelson Hauenstein, flute; Lare Wardrop, oboe; Albert Luconi, clarinet; Ted Evans, French horn; Hugh Cooper, bassoon. Wardrop, Luconi, Evans and Cooper are members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra who teach on a part- time basis at the University. Highlighting the concert will be the first American performance of "Quintet" by Ebbe Hamerick, con- temporary Danish composer. Astronomer To TalkHere Gerard P. Kupier of the Yerkee Observatory will lecture on "The Planets" at the department of as- tronomy Visitors' Night at 8:30 p.- m. Friday in 1025 Angell Hall. Following the lecture the stu- dent observatory on the fifth floor will be open for telescopic obser- vations of Saturn and a star clus- ter. If the sky is not clear the ob- servatory will be open for inspec- tion of the telescopes and plane- tarium. r n N m.......................... _-D aiuy-La. wilk DISTANT VISTAS-The not-too-romantic Supervisor of Weights and Measures-William Brom- field-is shown describing his dreams of the places where he will work to Isabel-Dorothy Gutekunst- in a scene from "The Enchanted" which will open at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre tonight. play of the 1949 season with "The Madwoman of Chaillot" which was also translated by Valency.

Students from Iron Curtain Countries To Get Scholarships ALBANY, N.Y.- (1P) - Foreign university scholarships will be of- fered to exiles and refugees from Tax Refunds Go TO Michiganders DETROIT - (P) - Income-tax refund checks have been mailed to 1,546,738 Michigan taxpayers. Collector of Internal Revenue Giles Kavanagh said the checks to- tal $91,000,000. He explained the mailing was delayed this year be- cause the taxpayers' arithmetic was checked by electronic ma- chines. 10 Iron Curtain countries by a newly-chartered corporation with headquarters in New York City. The state board of regents an- nounced it had granted a five-year charter to the "Free Europe Uni- versity in Exile" to arrange col- lege training in Western Europe and the Near East for displaced persons under 30 years of age. However, the scholarships prob- ably will go only to displaced per- sons in Western Europe and not to any in the United States, in- formed sources said. They said approximately $250,- 000 had been raised to launch the project. ANN OWENS0 9u We don't have o red silk stockings o green perfume .
