REVISITS ALMA MATER:
Lippman Discusses University Theater
__ A? * - * *

By PAT ROELOFS
Gray - mustached southerner,
Prof. Munroe Lippman, here on
a three week visit to his alma ma-
ter claims to have spent half his
life at the University.
Claiming 'that he is apparently
unable to leave "dear Ann Arbor"
permanently, he is back this sum-
mer to direct the Speech Depart-
ment's forthcoming production of
"Country Girl."
A MICHIGAN man, Prof. Lipp-
man received his A.B., M.A. and
PhD degrees in speech at the Uni-
versity.
Now chairman of the Depart-
ment of Theater and Speech at
Tulane University, he manages
to return frequently to direct
summer session speech depart-
ment productions. His last pro-
duction here was in 1950 when
he did "The Time of Your Life"
by William Saroyan.
Prof. Lippman is also director
of Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Car-
-re, famous community theater in
New Orleans. During the past year
he has directed such Broadway
favorites as "Stalag 17," "Come
Back Little 'Sheba" and "Berkeley
Square.".
COMMENTING on the Clifford
Odet's drama "Country Girl,"
Lippman said that this play, un-
like the majority of Odets' plays
which are "socially significant,"
is about personalities the play-
wright has known. He beleives
that Odets has portrayed these
people in effective theatrical
terms.
"I'd rather have aplaywright
pull you up in your seat, than
expose the audience to a dull,
well written play," he continued,
and this he believes is Odets
strong point as a playwright.
"Odets writes with color and;
poetry," Prof. Lippman pointed
out.
Discussing the differences in
University and professional theat-
er, and the role of college thea-
ter direction as a basis of profes-
sional preparation, director Lipp-
man commented that the main
task of, the theater in a liberal
arts college is to give the univer-
sity community access tonvarious
types of plays in many centuries
of playwriting. In this way, the
participating students also re-
ceive some basis for professional
stage work.
* *
COMPARING Tulane and the
University speech and theater stu-
dents, Prof. Lippman reminded
local spectators that because of
the size of the University, aspir-
ing young actors don't get into
the act until their junior year,

and carry on with graduate stu-
dents.
At Tulane, on the other hand,
because of a smaller enrollment,,
freshmen are able to perform in
student productions and receive
on stage training for four or more
years.
The attitude of. actors at the
University, is excellent, according
to Prof. Lippman; "They are all
conscientious workers."
Joining Prof. Lippman in his
three-week Ann Arbor visit are
Mrs. Lippman and the family
poodle Gigi. Speech students re-
port that Gigi has accompanied
her master to "Country Girl"
rehearsals. "She interrupts,"
Scotch Minister
To Speak Hsere
A Scotch Minister, the Rev. J.
Frazer McLuskey, will be in Ann
Arbor Monday through Saturday
to give two lectures, take part in
a luncheon discussionk pandrtalk
with summer session students.
He will speak at 4:15 p.m. Tues-
day in Lane Hall Library on
"Techniques of Adult Religious
Education" and at 4:15 p.m. Fri-
day on "The State of Religion in
Britain."
The former Chaplain of the
University of Glasgow will also
take part in a luncheon discussion
on "Wartime Experience in France
with the Underground Move-
ment" at 12:15 p.m. Thursday.

Lippman laughs, "so I have td
leave her home."
Prof. Lippman concluded a con-
versation with reporters by hint-
ing that box office sales are now
open for "Country Girl" tickets,
the play opening on Wednesday
night in Lydia Mendelssohn the-
ater.
U.. Refuses
SoapyDefense
Conference
LANSING -(P) - Secretary of
Defense C. E. Wilson has rejected
Gov. Williams' request for a con-
ference on Detroit's future in de-
fense production, the Executive
Office said.-
The office said Wilson denied
published reports that the De-,
fense Department plans to bypass
Detroit on future defense con-
tracts. Wilson asserted that,
therefore, the conference would
be unnecessary.
WILLIAMS SAID he was glad
to get Wilson's denial, but he
thought the conference should
have been held. The Governor
said the State Employment Secur-
ity Commission reported about 14,-
800 factory workers will be af,
fected by defense contract cut-
backs now in the making.
"Under these circimstances,"
Williams said, "it seems to me we
should be given every opportunity
to know what faces Michigan in-
dustry and to take the necessary
steps to cushion the economic

Hip Ailment
Rietires Taft
For Sessionl
NEW YORK-(A)-Sen. Robert
A. Taft, hospitalized with a hip
ailment, yesterday gave up any
prospect of getting back into the
legislative harness before the pre-
sent term of Congress ends.
But the Ohio Republican is ex-
pected to continue in close touch
with affairs at the Capitol.

New Clinic
Organized
For Dancing
You can add square dancing to
the ever increasing list of Sum-
mer Session institutes.
Whether you dance, call, or are
just plain interested in square
dancing, the Summer Session in-
stitute for square dancing has
programs of general interest sche-
duled for every Tuesday.
FROM 3 TO 4 P.M. there will
be a clinic for callers, with em-
phasis on phrasing, sounding
equipment, latest calls and the
technique of teaching.

FROM HIS bed in New York
Hospital, the 63-year-old sena-
tor sent out word that he doesn't
intend to get back to Washington
by the time Congress winds up its;
session late this month or early
next.
Nine days ago, Taft under-
went an operation. A hospital
bulletin yesterday said "no com-
plications of any kind have de-
veloped," his condition is "good,"
and bandages and stitches will
be removed next week.
But the hospital,.noting that no,
date has been set for Taft's de-
parture from the hospital, said:
* * *
"SEN. TAFT does not intend to
return to his duties at this ses-
sion of Congress, which apparent-
ly will end in August."
The Republican target for ad-
journment is July 31 or Aug. 1.
Taft, troubled by a bad hip for
several months, gave up active
Republican floor leadership of the
Senate to Sen. Knowland of Cali-
fornia last June 10, but retained
the title of majority floor leader.
Board Outlaws
Pets at MSC
EAST LANSING-(P)-A col-
lection of pets, accumulated since
the war, is going to be gradually
eliminated at Michigan State Col-
lege.
The State Board of Agriculture,
college governing body, approved
a resolution requiring new tenants
at the married students housing
project to pledge that they would-
n't bring pets on campus.
* * * ;
STUDENTS WHO now have
pets will be allowed to keep them.
Karl H. McDonel, board sec-
retary, said the problem had got-
ten out of hand since with the
influx of veterans after the war
the married students were al-
lowed to have pets.
"Nearly every family has one
cat or dog," he said. "Some of
them have more. Not little dogs
either-big ones. And some of
them are raising dogs."

The availability of resource
materials, such as books, rec-
ords, and magazines will be dis-
cussed from 4 to 5 p.m. Both of
these meetings will be held at
Waterman Gymnasium.
An all-community square dance
will top off the evening from 8 to
10 p.n). at the Palmer Field ten-
nis courts. In case of rain, the
dance will be held in the Women's
Athletic Bldg.

ucation for men in cooperation
