FROM ARTS

TO X-RAY:

Varied Summer Symposia
Will Add To Curriculum

No Spring Chickens?

Conferences and symposia in-
cluding more than 20 programs
ranging from visual arts surveys
to astrophysics studies will supple-
ment the Summer Session curric-
ulum.
Open lectures on linguistic
subjects will be held every Tues-
day and Thursday in the Rackham
Amphitheater. Lecturers will be
members of the Linguistic Pro-
gram staff. The forums are in con-
junction with a concentrated study
program offered this summer.
AMONG the three symposia of
a scientific nature is "Radiation
Korean War
Began Three
YearsAgo
(Continued from Page 1)
JUST WHEN peace seemed im-
minent the UN forces were struck
by a "human sea" of 30 Chinese
Communist divisions in a new of-
fensive that rolled them back 150
miles in a few short weeks.
In April, 1951, General MacAr-
thur, having successfully launch-
ed a counter-offensive, was re-
lieved of his command as a result
of disagreement with President
Truman over strategy and the ob-
jectives of the war. He was suc-
ceeded by U.S. Eighth Army Com-
mander General Matthew B.
Ridgeway.
PHASE TWO.. ..
First truce meeting held July
10 was. the beginning of nearly
two years of constant charge, de-
mand and stalemate. A deadlock
over prisoner repatriation was the
major issue.
FIGHTING continued in spurts
-bitter fighting-with casualties
and no progress. Total casualties
mounted to an estimated two and
a half millions of which 137,000
have been Americans. American
dead number 24,000 to date.
Finally on June 8 of this year
an agreement was drawn up
which would pave the way for
a cease-fire order. Accord was
reached concerning Communist
prisoners reluctant to return
home. Politically neutral na-
tions agreed to participate in
the repatriation proceedings.
Under the agreement, the pres-
ent battle-line was to serve as
truce line with a 2.4 neutral zone.
A series of political conferences
would be held within; three months
to iron out any difficulties.
PHASE THREE.. ..
Exactly a week ago President
Rhee in an act of defiance to-
ward the United Nations settle-
ment displayed his complete dis-
approval of the proceedings by
ordering the release of the first
group of reluctant prisoners.
IN A DESPERATE effort to
prevent a truce he believed would
be harmful to his country, he
threatened first to "fight on
alone," and finally to "withdraw
. forces from the United Na-
tions command."
This attempt to unify the en-
tire Korean peninsula instead of
merely insuring that the Com-
munist armies keep out of his
country has, in the opinion of
political experts, immeasurably
prolonged the time before peace
can be attained.

In Summer
With social activities planned
for five evenings a week the
League summer program is calcu-
lated to keep interested students
busy, according to publicity chair-
man, Coleen Campbell, '55.
Dancing will be featured on
Saturday nights, square and social
dancing lessons during the week,
and bridge playing on Tuesday
and Thursday evenings.
At 9 p.m., Saturday Al Town-
send and his orchestra will provide
music for the first in a series of
weekend dances, to be held every
Saturday except July 4.
Townsend, who is scheduled to
become a Saturday night regular,
made a successful debut at a
League mixer last Thursday, Miss
Townsend said.
Now a graduate student at the
University, Townsend formerly
played trombone for Gene Krupa
and Henry Busse and did part-
time arrangement for Krupa's
band.
First Square Dance session of
the semester last Monday, was at-
tended by close to 100 people. Call-
er John Redd taught the group
several schottishes and the Texas
Star along with other dances.
Redd has many other dances up
his sleeve for future sessions,
which will be held from 7:30 to 9
p.m. every Monday, Miss Camp-
bell promised.
The League will also be open,
she added for ball room dancing
lessons with classes, at 7 p.m. for

Italians Visit '
Four Italian naval engineers and
architects are on campus to study
the University's ship designing and
testing facilities so they can help
fellow Italian shipbuilders increase
contributions to their country's de-
fense efforts.
Of special interest will be the
naval tank, where research is done
on design of canal and riverboat
hulls, because much of Italy's busi-
ness is with ships of this kind.

Student offices in the Michigan
Union are closed and Union activ-
ities have been curtailed for the,
summer.
Although the Union will act
only in the capacity of a hotel un-
til the fall semester, the cafeteria,
Union officials said the front
door taboo has been broken fre-
quently this summer and "prob-
ably nothing will be done about
it since there - is no law pro-
hibiting them to use the door-j
only a tradition and traditions
are never followed."
Two Professors
Elected to ASM
Two University professors have
been elected to positions in the
American Society of Mammalo-
gists at their meeting in New York.
Prof. William H. Burt of the
zoology dept. was elected presi-
dent, and Prof. Emmet T. Hooper,
also of the zoology dept. was re-
elected to the board of directors.
Prof. Hooper has just returned
from an expedition to Mexico
where a study of the region's
mammals is underway. On this
trip, Hooper placed emphasis on
the squirrel in an attempt to show
its relation to local species.

dining room, and barber shop will
be open to the general public.
The billiard and ping pong
rooms and the library will be open
to Union members., and their
guests.
All male students, registered for
three hours of class or more are
eligible for a membership card ob-
tainable at the main desk.
The Union swimming pool has
been closed for extensive altera-

ceiling about 10 feet and con-
structing offices to occupy the
space between the new and the
present ceiling.
Although long-standing tradi-
tion has marked the Union front
entrance taboo to women, the fair-
er sex is allowed to use the cafe-
teria and dining room.
