T'AGS r70R THE MITMIGAN VAILY FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1953 i 1 Now* PIROUETTE, CAN CAN: Versatility Key To Daincer'7s Career A * * * * Ex-Chaplain of Scottish University Visiting City By DONALD HARRIS "To be a dancer in America, you have to do everything nowadays," says Jeanne Parsons, Grad., at- tractive veteran of musical comedy and ballet who is finishing her Master's degree in speech at the University this summer. "You can't just specialize in any kind of dance. When you audition you have to be a technical ballet dancer, free modern dancer, and, have a style of your own. You never know what you will be asked to do, but have to be able to do it when you are." * * * THESE WORDS from the lips of a trouper, who has danced vir- tually every role in "Oklahoma" and who will be dancing in the Speech Department's forthcoming production of "Tales of Hoffman," serve to dispel all thoughts that there are still barriers between show dance, modern dance, and ballet. Miss Parsons, who has studied under such - greats as Anthony Tudor, Margaret Craske, Hanya Holm, and Louis Horst, is a liv- Finish Battle On Color TV NEW YORK-- (P) -The long fight over color television was for- mally ended yesterday as the Col- umbia Broadcasting System said it would go along with the pro- posed new compatible system. CBS said it would start sending out some color programs to af- filiated stations on an experimen- tal basis Sept. 15. Regular color telecasts for the public must await Federal Com- munications Commission action on the new system. In effect CBS joined hands with its arch rival in color TV, Radio Corporation of America, which pe- titioned the FCC a.month ago to approve the compatible standards developed by the National Televi- sion System Committee, an indus- try wide group. Indians To Hear Calcutta Teacher Prof. Amiya Chakravarty of the English department at Calcutta University will speak to the India Students' Association at 7:30 p.m. today in Rm. 3G of the Union. The subject of his talk will be "Tagore-The Poet- of India, with Readings from his Poetry." READ AND USE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS Parachuting with the British Air Force, contact with the French underground during World War II, and five years of work with stu- dents at the University of Glas- gow are ajl included in the varied background of the Rev. J. Frazer McLuskey, a Scottish Minister, who is visiting Ann Arbor this week. Rev. McLuskey is one of ten Bri- tish Ministers who are in the Uni- ted States for eight weeks as part of an exchange program between the National Council of Churches and the British Council of Churches. ing daily and Sunday interde- nominational services in the university chapel, were all in- cluded in the Chaplain's duties. In comparing American and Scottish University life Rev. Mc- Luskey said one of the things which impressed him was the scale on which our activities are car- ried out. The University of Glas- gow Union, for example, is the * * * J i -Daily-Lon QuL DANCER EXTRAORDINAIRE * * * * * * ing example of all the rigor and discipline that goes into the making of a dancer. In addition to the tremendous amount of training required, and the arduous life caused by con- tinuous touring, she says that "you. also have to be able to step into any role at any time." "ONE NIGHT in Boston when I was playing "Oklahoma," I was scheduled to do the 'can-can' dance in the dream sequence. But ten minutes before I was to go on, I had to change costume and do the role of the 'child with pig- tails.' I had to understudy three roles besides my own in that show." The high point of her career was last year. When the State Department invited "Oklahoma" along with the Jullard String Quartet and Judith Anderson to represent this country in the Berlin Arts Festival. Miss Parsons recalled that the Russians "gave us a scathing re- view. They said 'if this is an exam- ple of theatre in America, it is dead.' But we were all very happy that they had reviewed us at all as they didn't bother to review any of the other American shows." "THE GERMANS. loved us though," she continued. "Their shows are usually dark and gloomy, and they were impressed with the bright colors of "Oklahoma." One Grad Mixer Today The second graduate mixer- dance of the summer session will be held at 9 p.m. today in the As- sembly Hall of the Rackham Bldg. Admission to the dance will be $.50. Refreshments will be served. All graduate students are welcome to attend. i critic said that it was like a 'Sun- kist lemon advertisement.' " In August when she receives her degree, Miss Parsons is going to Europe to resume her dancing ca- reer. Although she doesn't mind touring, "you get to be Sort of a gypsy and get used to it," she wouldI like to join a residence ballet com- panyso she would be able to stay in one place and work on her own1 ideas. Hawaiian Club Student Asks For Statehood "Hawaii pays more taxes than ten separate states, has three times the national Korean casualty rate and yet has no voting voice in the federal government," reported Paul Ng in an informal speech at Alice Lloyd Hall yesterday. Representing the campus Ha- waii Club which handed out or- chids to anyone who asked a ques- tion on Hawaiian statehood, Ng discussed these questions with ref- erence to Hawaiian history as well as the present political situation. "We have found," he said," that the northern and eastern states generally favor Hawaiian state- hood and the opposition is from the southern states. Also at pres- ent Hawaiian statehood is being introduced to the Senate in the same bill as the Alaskan statehood which is not fair to either terri- tory." Ng praised the educational sys- tem in Hawaii as well as the fi- nancial situation of the territory. He also mentioned that the Ha- waiians voted over two to one in a national plebiscite to be admitted to the Union." } p IO 4 " I' "'i:**..~~ ., I. fS f is ": " .: . . . t s j New Etude* bra molds (and holds!) you in dreamy fashion Etude's contol secret is tic-tac- toe stitching - exciting new design feature that gives you a firm young bustline, a beauti- OUTSIDE OF a week in Ann Arbor, most of his trip will be. spent in the East.

As an army chaplain in a spe- cial service unit during the war, Rev. McLuskey was flown into the center of occupied France with a parachute regiment as a prelude to the Allied invasion in 1944. In conjunction with the Ma- quis, the French resistance move- ment, sabatoged German installa- tions, blew up bridges and rail- roads, and laid ambushes for re- treating Nazi soldiers. ON HIS return to Scotland he resumed his position as Chaplain of the University of Glasgow which, except for a three year leave of absence during the war, he held from 1939 to 1947.

Essentially a research institution the National University has a staff of about 200 and less than 40 stu- dents. The cause, of this situation is that the University is set up to pro- vide facilities for star graduates from other Australian schools to do their post graduate work in Australia instead of going abroad.

Polio Soars As Marquette Uses Serum MARQUETTE-(R)-Marquette, county reported its 25th polio case of the year yesterday as physicians nurses and volunteers gave their 9,000th shot of the paralysis pre-; ventive, gamma globulin., The mass inoculation of the county's estimated 10,000 to 12,000 children under 10 is scheduled to end tomorrow. It started Wednes- day, when 4,000 got shots-and lollipops to take their minds off stinging backsides. The 25th to be stricken was a farm youth brought to St. Luke's hospital here. Authorities estimated the coun- ty's population of children under 10 at 10,000, but the Office of De- fense Mobilization released 84,000 cubic centimeters of gamma glob- ulin-just in case up to 12,000 are found.
