HARVEY TO 'APPEAR':
Invisible Rabbit To Star
In Whimsical Chase Play
. * *
By MARGE SHEPHERD
Rabbits is funny people.
Especially when one is the cen-
tral character in a play, but never
makes an appearance.
* * *
THAT'S WHAT happens in
Mary Ellen Chase's whimsical
story, "Harvey," second in the
speech department's summer ser-
ies of plays, which will run from
Tuesday through Saturday in
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
The invisible Harvey isn't the
only rabbit that has achieved
fame. There's Thumpy, Walt
Disney's mirthful bunny who al-
most stole the show from his
friend Bambi.
And going way back, Peter Rab-
bit has been a perennial favorite
of children, along with Uncle
Wiggily, Howard R. Garis' crea-
tion, and Brier Rabbit of Joel

Tells of GOP
Proceedings
(Continued from Page 1)
Nice looking lady behind desk
aske why? Told her I was going
to bring them down to ninth
floor (Taft Headquarters). She
looked surprised and handed me
a batch. Nothing said.
Left Eisenhower HQ and got off
at nine in the midst of a bunch
of Taft badges, delegates and free
Pepsis. Began to nonchalantly pass
out Ike junk, being very polite
about the whole thing.
* s *
TWO WOMEN looked at me for
a few minutes and emitted a small
and dignified Taft style shriek.
Then some delegate walked over
and asked what I was doing. Told
him I was passing out Ike buttons.
He said "Oh" and left.
Guide came over and told me
Ike HQ was on eleven. Told him'
I knew. He said "Oh" and left.
Came back in a few minutes to
tell me I was in Taft HQS. Told
him I knew. He said "Oh" and
left. Came back to tell me I'd
have to leave. Told him I knew
that too and hopped elevator,
showering Ike leaflets In my
wake. No one seemed to care
(much.
All I've got to say is it's a heck
of a way to run a convention.

which will house the Republican
and Democratic convention.
Close to 3000 men have been
working at an ever-increasing
pace for the last six months in-
stalling chairs for the delegates
and special guests and the maze
of cables necessary for complete
TV, radio and press coverage.
One hundred thirty-two public
telephones and about 1000 private
ones have been liberally sprinkled
throughout the building as the
result of plans laid between the
telephone company and Demo-
cratic and Republican convention
officials a year ago, according to
a telephone company official.
Those attending the convention,
which is scheduled to begin at
11:30 a.m. tomorrow, will also
enjoy the advantages of a $350,-
000 air-conditioning plant as well
as on-the-spot travel information
and numerous snack bars.

Chandler Harris' "Uncle Remus"
tales.
MOST POPULAR with the mo-
vie fans is "What's up Doc?" Bugs
Bunny and his carrot.
But it was a six feet, one and
one half inch Pooka that capti-
vated Broadway, in the person
of Harvey.
In the play, Harvey appears one
night to Elwood P. Dowd, who has
a thirst for barrooms and people.
Dowd is attracted by Harvey's
intelligence-the rabbit is better
than Einstein, as Dowd points out.
* * *
"EINSTEIN did away with time
and space; Harvey does away with
time, space and objections."
From that time on the two are
inseparable, and complications
arise when the amiable Dowd tries
to introduce his invisible friend to
his sister's guests. The ensuing
bit of stage whimsey has been
termed by the critics "as wise as
it is witty" and "full of laughter
and delicate meaning."
Tickets for "Harvey" are now on
sale from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the
Lydia Mendelssohn box office.
T-V Reports
Persons who own or have ac-
cess to television sets may al-
ready have live television cov-
erage of the Republican Na-
tional Convention direct from
Chicago.
One Detroit station, WWJ-
TV, is now telecasting daily
from convention headquarters
while the two other stations
received in the Ann Arbor
area, WJBK-TV and WXYZ-
TV, will start today.
All three stations will pro-
vide coverage of daily morn-
ing and evening sessions, be-
ginning Monday, from the In.
ternational Amphitheatre in
Chicago.
'U'.To Study
Leadership
Of Parties
Fourteen University political
scientists left yesterday for Chi-
cago where they will make a
study of delegate leadership at
the Republican National Conven-
tion.
A similar study will be made at
the Democratic nominating con-
vention which convenes two weeks
,",
II
from tomorrow.
* * *
PROF. JAMES K. Pollock, chair-
man of the political science de-
partment, Prof. Daniel McHargue,
Prof. Samuel Eldersveld, Duane
Marvick and 10 graduate students
from the department will attend
the convention.
The study will be made under
a grant given by the Ford Foun-
dation to the political science
department and Prof. Elders-
veld.
The group will study the 53
delegate chairmen at both conven-
tions. They will attempt to learn
what previous political experience
the chairmen have had, what their
attitude toward the convention is
and how much power they hold.
"This Is an exploratory type of
project that has never been at-
tempted before," Prof. Eldersveld
commented. "We do not know
what we will come up with, but
we do hope to have a clearer pic-
ture of convention processes and
party leadership."
A report of the research will
probably be made in the future,
he indicated.
String Quartet
Will Perform
The Stanley Quartet will pre-
sent the first public performance
of oa recently composed string
quintet at the first in its series of
summer concerts at 8:30 p.m.
Tuesday in Rackham Lecture Hall.
Members of the quartet are:
Prof. Gilbert Ross, violin; Prof.
Emil Raab, violin; Robert Courte,
viola and Prof. Oliver Edel, cello.
They will be joined for the per-
formance by Clyde Thompson,
string bass. All five men are"mem-
bers of the School of Music fa-
culty.
THE QUINTET was composed
in Paris this year by Darius Mil-
haud. It was commissioned by the
University and dedicated to the
Stanley Quartet.
The complete program for the
concert includes: Allegro meder-
ato, Adagio, Menuetto (presto) and
Vivace from Haydn's "Quartet in
G major, Op. 77, No. 1;" Modere-
ment anime, Vif, Lent, and Final
from Darius Milhaud's "Second
Quintet" for two violins, viola,
cello and bass; and Poco adagio,
Allegro, Adagio, ma non tropo,
Presto, and Allegretto con varia-
zioni from Beethoven's "Quartet
in E-flat major, Op. 74."

Survey Shows '48 Election
Decided in Last Two Weeks.
Voters who made up their minds
in the last two weeks of the cam-
paign decided the presidential
election of 1948, according to a
report made by the University's
Survey Research Center.
The 73-page report was issued
by Angus Campbell; director of
the Center and Robert L. Kahn,
assistant program director.
* * *
PART OF the material for the
study was gathered in October,
1948, as part of a survey of public
attitudes towards foreign polity.
These findings had pointed to a
Democratic victory, but the sam-
ple, while nation-wide, was re-
garded as too small and the sub-
ject too wide a margin of error to
be reliable.
However, when the election
justified the accuracy of the
sample, it was decided to make
the follow-up.
Truman's surprise victory can
be attributed in part to the 'fact,
that 12 per cent of the nation's
voters had not made their decision
as to how to vote until two weeks
before the election, the study
shows. Truman received 'three-
quarters of these votes, 17 per cent
of his total vote.
* * *
ACCORDING TO the study, 76
per cent of those who finally vot-
ed for Truman had made up their
minds either in advance or at the
time of the nominating conven-
tions. From July trough mid-Oc-
tober there was an increase in
Democratic strength, since there
were five voters who decided to
vote for Truman during that time
to every four that decided in fa-.
vor of Dewey.
The two parties entered the last
two weeks of the campaign about
evenly matched as to the numbers
of voters. However, the study
showed that the "late deciders"
turned the tide to Truman.
The Center has received a grant
of $90,000 to conduct a non-poli-
tical, non-partisan research on po-
litical behavior of voters this year.
