TU'E'SDAY, JULY 27, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Timm TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1954 THE MiCHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE 1588; Spansh Armada Debacle -Daily-Marge Crozier "SINK THAT SHIP!"-Dorothy Davis and Thomas Arp, peeking from behind Spanish and English warships, are portraying the sinking of the Spanish Armada, to be seen in the speech department production of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's "The Critic," which will be presented at 8 p.m. tomorrow through Saturday at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Sheridan's Farce, 'The Critic' To Be Given at League Starting Tomorrow By SUE GARFIELD Richard Brinsley Sheridan's re- hearsal farce, "The Critic," will be presented at 8 p.m. tomorrow through Saturday at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre as the third offering on the Department of Speech Summer Playbill. According to Bruce Nary, busi- ness manager of the Play ?roduc- tions, so much attention has been focused upon some of the more obvious burlesque features of "The Critic," that little has been paid to the basis of real history which furnishes much of the setting for the play. Sheridan's text alludes requently to events of current his- tory. a f The immediate political situation which confronted the First Lord of Admiralty in 1779 was hostility be- tween England and the allied forc- es of France and Spain. By the middle of the year the French and Spanish fleets threat- ened an invasion of England, and in mid-August of 1779 the fleet appeared off Plymouth. Before the appearance of "The Critic," how- Pianist Slates Recital Today John Kollen, pianist, a member of the University faculty, will pre- sent a concert at 8:30 p.m. tonight in Rackham Lecture Hall. The Beethoven program will in- clude the Sonata (Quasi una fan- tasia) in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 42-adagio sostnauto, allegret- to and presto agitato; and Sonata in A -flat major, Op. 110=moderato cantabile molto esressivo, allegro molto, adagio ma non troppo, ari- so, fuga temp del' arioso and tempo della fuga. Following the intermission Kollen will play Beethoven's Sonata in D major, Op. 10, No. 3-presto, largo e mesto, menuetto (allegro) and rondo (allegro). The School of Music recital is open to the public. Denmark is to buy 2,750 tons of ever, public apprehension had been largely allayed by the withdrawal of the fleet, according to history. Such was the general political situation when Dangle picked up his newspaper in the opening scene of "The Critic" and read in its headlines "nothing but about the fleet and the nation." Study of the historical setting of "The Critic" reveals the significance of naming Puff's tragedy "The Spanish Ar- mada" when the stage directions outline the destruction of the Spanish Armada by the English fleet. An actual sea battle, staged be- fore the audience will climax the speech department production of "The Critic." Explaining various complications in this scene, Jack E. Bender, scene designer, said that model warships will be car- ried across the stage by actors concealed behind sea walls. The ships will fire cannons which will be accompanied by flashes of flame and billows of smoke. True to historical fact, the Span- ish vessels will be larger and more cumbersome than their Eng- lish enemies, and realism of battle will be carried out even to the breaking and falling masts on the warships' decks. Concerning the scenery in gener- al, Bender commented that the first act scenery represents 18th Century Georgian, while the second and third acts use the Elizabethan set- tings. Mr. Puff B. Iden Payne, guest director of the speech department this sum- mer, will play his famous role of Mr. Puff, which he first did in 1915 in New York. Other members of the cast in- clude: Sue Spurrier, William Teu- fel, Cynthia Hepburn, Carol Love- less, Donald Shanover, Paul Rebil- lot, William McAnallen, Lloyd Evans, Raymond Bahor, John Ol- son, Victor Hughes, Michael Greg- oric, Kandall Cox, Harold Radford, Shirley Pengilly, Gwen Arner, Patrick Smith and Joann Ragni.

'U' Plans To1 Quit Big Ten In 1906 "Pigeon toes are the character- istic of all good catchers," said Duffy, manager of the Philadel- phia Phillies. The fading print on the crumb- ling yellow paper, also announced; "Two bean-fed lady athletes from Boston are to compete for the female golf championship to- day." These are excerpts from the sports page of the Detroit Times with a dateline of October 12, 1906, found by Laurel Keene, Univer- sity Research Security Officer, in the back of an old mirror. Leave the Big Ten "Nearly everyone at the Univer- sity," asserted the newspaper, "wants it to withdraw from the Western Conference and send its track team to the Eastern Inter- collegiate track meet next spring." Keene, a collector of old books as well as historical newspapers, bought the mirror for 75 cents at a household auction several years ago. He did not find the newspaper until recently, however, when he decided to resilver the mirror and removed the back partition. "It was quite a coincidence, re- marked Keene, "for a long time ago my father was a reporter for the Detroit Times." The most interesting book Keene possesses is one found in the bot- tom of the Mississippi River by his wife's grandfather. The grandfather who built some of the first iron smelters, worked on the mountain railroads in Chile, salvaged ships and collected curios from all over the world. The Old English book was found in a salvaged ship. Entitled "A Help to Discourse" the book was published in 1623. It contains many interesting and wierd superstitions as well as com- ments of the day, Keene explained. And deals at length with such questions as which came first-the chicken or the egg, he added. "Which of the days in the year is the longest,"the book asks, and then supplies the answer-"that which has the shortest night." International Law Prog ram Announced A six-year program of coopera- tion between law faculties of lead- ing Japanese and American uni- versities has been made possible by a grant from the Ford Founda- tion to the Institute of Interna- tional Education, New York City. The American schools taking part in the program are the law schools of Harvard and Stanford Universities and the University of Michigan. Six Japanese university law fa- culties are cooperating: the nation- al universities of Kyoto, Tohoku, and Tokyo; and the private uni- versities of Chuo, Keio, and Wa- seda. In addition, the JudicialRe- search and Training Institute, maintained by the Japanese Su- preme Court for post-graduate law training, has been invited to join in the program. The program is designed to fos- ter a better understanding of the important elements of law not common to both nations' legal sys- tems, and is planned to create in the participating schools centers of interest in the law of the other country.- The need for cooperative re- search and study arises out of the post-war changes in Japanese laws. Originally drawn largely from German sources, the legal system of modern Japan was ex- tensively revised during the Oc- cupation and now represents a unique combination of the Euro- pean and Anglo-American legal traditions, in addition to those of Japanese origin. The new Japanese Constitution embodies many of the democratic ideals and institutions found in the U.S. Constitution; there has also been in recent years import- ant legislation similar to that of the United States in such fields as criminal law and procedure, ad- ministrative law, corporation law, labor law, anti-monopoly law, and tax law. A group of eight law teachers will be sent this fall from the co- operating Japanese institutions for two years of research and advanc- ed study in the three American law schools. While this phase is under way, law teachers from the American schools will begin go- ing to Japan for a year's work. Remaining in the background of a great institution and shunning any publicity, Inex V. Bozorth has exercised upersision over the Law- yers Club of the Law School since its organization in 1924. Now after 27 years of firm but gracious service to the nfany young men of the club, Miss Bozorth is retiring to return to her native Oregon, aftera ktrip to Euruope. Becoming talkative only when reminiscing about the history of the Lawyers Club with frequently- visiting alumni, the demure direc- tor continually refrains from speak- ing about herself. Recalls Beginning Instead she recalls the beginning of the Lawyers Club and the work and generosity of the late Dean Henry M. Bates of the Law School and William W. Cook who donated the Lawyers Club and Law Quad- rangle. Her quiet conversation was sutdd- ed with references to the organiza- tion of the Lawyers Club and the way Dean Bates interested Cook in founding the spacious Law Qaud- rangle. Prof. Lewis M. Simes of the Law School shed light on Miss Bozorth's background when he re- called being on the University of Montana faculty while she was head of Residence Halls and a faculty member there. A Michigan alumnus who also was a member of that faculty re- Bates when he was looking for someone to open the Lawyers Club and act as its director, Prof. Simes said. Cook Dubious Dean Bates was apparently satis- fied with her qualifications but ac- cording to Prof. John Reed of the Law School, Cook had doubts about having a woman as director of the Club. Prof. Reed added that al- though Cook objected to the pres- ence of women in the club, Dean Bates persuaded him to allow Miss Bozorthtotaketheposition. The competent woman has filled the office of director since that time with the exception of three years during which she opened Mosher-Jordan Hall. Prof. Reed ex- plained that during her absence the Club was managed so poorly that her position as director was never again disputed by Mr. Cook. "We don't have many of the problems of other dorms," Miss Bozorth observed, speaking of her duties as director. "I just advise the students and see that the busi- ness of operating the Club goes on," she explained modestly. A Director's Job The "business" includes acting as administrator, housemother, so- cial director and advisor to 320 student members and being the hostess to more than 600 graduate and honorary members of the Law- yers Club. She has been hostess for such dignitaries as Sen. Wayne Morse and Justice Felix Frank- furter of the United States Supreme Court. "My association with the faculty and students of the Law School has been very happy," Miss Bo- zorth said, summarizing her job as director. Speaking of his acquaintance with Miss Bozorth, Prof. Paul Kau- per of the. Law School spoke of her as a "very gracious and com- Photo Session Slated Sunday The biggest camera outing ever staged in the metropolitan area will take place at Dexter-Huron Metropolitan Park near Ann Arbor on Sunday, August 1, starting at 10:30 a.m. Thirty experienced models, all graduates of the John Robert Pow- ers School, will pose against river bank scenery in southeastern Michigan.

Van't Hfo'.54L,com- mented that he was impressed by the "way, she has been able to combine a hard-headed business sense with a w a r m - hearted ap- proach and understanding to the student and his problems." "In working with her," he con- tinued, "you learn that she has a fine sense of humor and has more insight into the average law student and what makes him tick than even he realizes." Former President of the Law- ers Club Hugh Harness, '54L, ob- served that Miss Bozorth's "Friend- ly and dignified manner has won her the affection of all the students. She will be greatly missed." An oil portrait of Miss Bozorth, contributed by her many friends in the Law School, now hangs in the Lawyer's Club. Workshop on Mexican Trip Fifteen members of a University of Michigan education workshop will leave Willow Run Sunday Aug- ust 1 for the UNESCO Fundamental Education Center at Patzcuaro, Mexico. They will take part in a work- shop in international education last- ing two weeks, under the direction of Prof. Claude Eggertsen, of the education school. The group will arrive in Mexico City 10 hours later and then will go by train to Patzcuaro. There they will make a study tour of the center, the first of eight such UNESCO centers to be established. At the center, instruc- tion is provided in health, literacy, the use of economic resources, rec- reation and community organiza- tion for underdeveloped areas. Workshop members will be as- signed to small teams, composed of specialists from every country of South America. They will visit nearby communities of Tarascan Indians, some of whom live in situ- ations similar to those in tropical lowlands, mountain regions, and in villages which use a local language without fixed spelling and gram- mar. The specialists, trained in such fields as literacy, hygiene, home economics, farming, and recrea- tion, are expected to return to their own countries to staff centers de- voted to the education of other teams. -Daily-Russ AuWerter THE MACHINE DOES IT ...
