A .4 PACE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1951 Nationwide STRAUSS' COMIC OPERETTA: 'Chocolate Soldier' To Be Last Drama Production Nationwide Faculty Cut (Continued from Page 1) DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN j * $ 8 * * * By HARRIET TEPPERMAN Oscar Strauss' comic operetta, "The Chocolate Soldier," the last presentation of the summer dra- ma season, will open at 8 p.m. to- morrow evening at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Staged by the combined efforts of speech department play pro- duction students and students of the music school, Strauss' cartoon of martial romance is based on George Bernard Shaw's play, "Arms and the Man." #* * THE RUMOR centers around the fact that Col. Popoff's wife and daughter entertain a Swiss soldier, while he, the head of the family, is off fighting with the Bulgarian army. John Wiles, Grad., plays Capt. Dumerli who complicates the hop- py home situation by falling in love with Nadina, Col. Popoff's daughter, who is portrayed by Carole Wilder, Grad. Aurelia, Col., Popoff's wife, is at a loss as to how to cope with the situation when Alexis, already be- trothed to Medina, demands his just deserts. Marilyn Krim., Grad., alid Dale Thompson, Grad., take these parts. When Col. Popoff, played by David Murray, Grad., returns with Mawsakroff, a comic army eaptain, he finds that further confusion has arisen because of the plottings of Mashia. Mawsakroff is burlesqued by James Fudge, Grad., and Mashia, Nedina's cousin, is played by Vi- vien Milan, Grad. THE SOLDIERS and townspeo- ple of the chorus include both play production and music school Students. The chorus is made up of Charles Emery, William Erwin, John Gehring, Charles George, Nate Katter, Robert McGrath and James Miller. Also members of the chorus are William Roberts, Allen Robertson, Kingsley Sears, Clarence Stephen- son, Peter Thompson, Phyllis Bai- ley, Marilyn Begole, Leslie Ben- nett, Allegra Branson, William Bromfield, Evely Challis and Paul Downie. The list continues with Carol Eagle, Marilyn Floridis, Gloria Grigsby, Mary Jo Jones, Ruth Orr, Beatrice Patton, Betty Pflei- derer, Mary Pfotenhauer, Nancy Philibin, Margaret Prince, Mary Ranger, Leth Royce, Ben Searcy, KMva Vogt, Melvin Wagner, John Waller, Barbara Weiss, and Helen Wood. * * * PLAY PRODUCTION is under the direction of Prof. Valentine Windt of the speech department, while the music is directed by Prof. Wayne Dunlap of the music school. Prof. Dunlap will also con- duct the accompanying orchestra, consisting of 27 members of the University Summer Symphony. Opening night performance is sold out, but tickets still remain for the performances to be given Friday, Saturday and Monday evenings. They may be purchased from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and until 8 p.m. on the nights of per- formances at the Mendelssohn box ffice. Enrollment is expected to jump' when college-age youths now in military service finish their re- quired 24 months' training. Many vill head towards the nation's campuses and the same teachers who will soon be let out will be badly needed. The vacuum created when mili- tary needs plucked many young men out of civilian life is expect- ed to be filled by late 1953, when about as many men will be coming out of the services as are going in. From then on enrollment is ex- pected to increase. * * * ARMSTRONG SAYS little of the slack in present enrollment is being taken up by defense or offices training programs. There hasn't been much need for the military to train men in colleges in any large numbers. The survey shows that slight- ly more than half of the liberal arts schools will do some reduc- ing this fall, as will about 45 per cent of the universities. More than one-third of all the schools will cut their staffs. Re- ductions in these schools this fall will total about nine per cent. THE LOWER ranks of teachers -assistant professors and instruc- tors-will suffer the worst, but some will be dropped from higher ranks. The heaviest reduction in sub- ject fields will be English, with modern languages next. Light- est reductions are planned in classical languages and in medi- cine. The cuttings seems to be na- tionwide, with no particular re- gion worse off than another. In general, two factors weigh. heaviest in determining a reduc- tion in faculty: 1. Whether the subject appeals military manpower buildup. 2. Whether it is required of freshmen.

Japanese College Students Learning Eng ish Anxiously Await American Correspondents 4 "dgR By SANDY SCHLAGER Japanese students attending universities in Tokyo and Oka- yama are extremely anxious to find American "pen pals," accord- ing to Prof. Robert E. Ward of the political science department. English is becoming increasing- ly more important in Japan and it is almost essential for young men and women who plan to go into business or government work to have a thorough knowledge of the language, Prof. Ward said. * * * "UNIVERSITY students in Ja- pan are so desirous of learning the English language that they will go to great lengths to obtain American -correspondents," Prof. Ward commented. "Many Japan- ese hear the name of an American. business firm and immediately proceed to write a letter to 'My Dear Unknown American Friend,' in care of the firm's address." Not only commercial purposes, motivate the Japanese to learn, English, Prof. Ward said. "Many of the Japanese felt cut off dur- ing the past war and still feel somewhat isolated from the standpoint of information." They think that it is better to{ get their knowledge from indivi- duals than from newspapers and are anxious to correspond with American friends, he said. e, *: * PROF. WARD, assistant direct- or of the Center for Japanese Stu- dies, said that the Center, and its branch in Okayama, have re- ceived more than 100 letters from Japanese who wish to become ac- quainted with Americans through correspondence. The professor noted that all the workers in the Center have more Japanese correspondents than they can handle, and would appreciate University stu- dents relieving them of the mail surplus. The Okayama Center was es- tablished by grants from the Raekham and Carnegie Institutes in 1950. "It is the point of depart- ure for graduate students and f a- culty members from the Univer- sity and qualified people from oth- er universities who wish to work on a series of community studies in Japan," Prof. Ward said. "Political scientists, anthropolo- gists and sociologists study con- temporary Japanese culture to- gether at the Center. They work on the same problem, in the same place, at the same time," Prof. Ward commented. "In this way, they get a more complete coverage of trends in culture," he said. Members of the Center are now expanding their survey from the village to the town level and may proceed to make a thorough study of cities in the future, Prof. Ward .1 stated.
