THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY. A Works Exhibits Include Kantor' s Headless Skeleton Found Of Child-Sized Pre-Man Daily Adds Library i I By GENNY LELAND On display in Alumnae Memorial Hall are three exhibits: Mosaics representing the Jewish and Chris- tian faiths, contemporary sculp- ture and chronological paintings of Morris Kantor. Mosaics, one of the ancient durable art forms, and especially characteristic of the Roman Em- pire and early Christian and By- zantine eras have had a renais- sance in recent years. The Jewish revival, notwith- standing the tradition prohibiting graven images in the orthodox Jewish Faith, began after Jewish mosaics were excavated at Dura Europas. Mosaics a Revival According to Museum sources the mosaics in this exhibition may be regarded as a revival although primarily they represent an adven- ture in education and in recap- turing the spirit rather than the image of the ancient form. As a symbolic and decorative motive in contemporary churches and as a means of religious ex- pression, the mosaics recall the roots of the past in terms of the present. The mosaics represented in the exhibit were done by students and faculty members of the Immacu- late Heart College and students from the Jewish Education Center. The mosaic subject matter is centered around the Old and New Testaments. The viewer sees traces in colored stone of Moses with the famous entablatures and a scene depicting the sacrifice of Abraham. 'Man of Sorrows' Mosaics such as the "Man of Sorrows" by Frank Winiarski and the "Three Marys" by Roberta Hughe both from Immaculate CAA Sees Air Growth The Civil Aeronautics Act, which was enacted 20 years ago in June, gave civil aviation its "legal wings This act established the Civil Aeronautics Authority, from which the present Civil Aeronautics Board and the Civil Aeronautics Administration have emerged. The five-man CAB is a quasi-judicial body responsible for the general economic regulation of air carriers. The CAA is the agency respon- sible for the interpretation and en- forcement of rules, as well as operator of the Federal Airways System. Fleets Increase At the end of 1957 the combined fleets of the nation's scheduled airlines totaled 1,829 aircraft, a 430 per cent increase over the 1938 fleet of 345 planes. In the 20-year period since the enactment of the Civil Aeronautics Act passenger volume has swelled 3,678 per cent-from 1.3 million in 193 to more than 49 million in 1957-putting the air transport in- dustry in first place among com- mon carriers engaged in intercity passenger traffic. At the same time, the fatality rate has dropped to two-tenths of a passenger fatality per 1,000 mil- lion passenger miles. Airline cargo operations increased from 2.55 million ton-miles in 1938 to 714.4 ton-miles last year, including 160- 689 ton-miles of United States mail. Cities Gain Orval R. Cook, president of the Aircraft Industries Association, recently cited some other gains the industry has made in the last 20 years: 1) A coast-to-coast scheduled flight now takes eight hours with a load of 85 passengers; in 1938, 16 hours with 21 passengers. New jets will cut the time to 4.5 hours and increase passenger capacity to 140. 2) Eighty-five per cent of the aircraft flown by the world's scheduled airlines are United States models. Okey To Talk In U Lecture "Life with a Capital L," will be the lecture topic of Prof. Lamont Okey, of the speech department, at 3 p.m. today in Rackham Amphitheatre. It will be presented under the auspices of the speech department. r -a -Daily-A Erb THE BLIND MAN ... by Thomas McClure Heart College represent the New Testament. "The variety of personal ex- pression which modern sculptors are striving for is well illustrated in this small exhibit by contem- porary Americans," Ned Cornich, director of the Kalamazoo Insti- tute of Arts wrote. The sculpture exibit features pieces such as "The Blind Man" by Thomas McClure; "The Soldier" by Robert A. Howard and Richard Stankiewicz's "Here He Comes To His Horrible House." These particular pieces are done in welded bronze, steel or copper. "There is no one criterion by which to measure contemporary art. If we are to derive enjoyment from our artist we must not expect him to meet standards we impose but adjust our response to his mode of expression, Cornich said. This exhibit will be a pleasant experience for those who can allow the artist to approach him on a variety of emotional levels," he continued. The chronological paintings and sketches of Morris Kantor cover a period of thirty years. They range from cubism, realism to abstract. Kantor Teaches Kantor teaches at Cooper's Union and the Art Students League in New York. This summer he is an Artist-in-residence at the Architecture and Design school where he is teaching painting. His works have been displayed in major museums across the country such as the Detroit Art Institute, the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Chicago Institute of Art. Public Looks To Jet Flights Two-thirds of the air traveling public look forward to the start of jet flights in the near future, University research indicates. Studies conducted by the Uni- versity Research Center show major airlines will have few new hurdles to cross in developing pas- senger interest in jets. "It seems reasonable to expect that people will show some of the same reluctance to travel by jet plane which they have shown with regard to piston aircraft," com- ments Prof. John B. Lansing of the economics department, who has directed three national surveys for the Center. "This reluctance will be reduced gradually as people become famil- iar with travel by jet plane, Prof. Lansing indicated. "Only a few people talk about jets being too new to be safe-a comment which implies they will become safe after a period of testing and mechanical improve- ment," he said. GROSSETO, Italy(P)-A head- less skeleton of a chil-sized pre- man, found 600 feet down in an Italian soft coal mine, may prove man didn't descend from apes. Swiss scientist Dr. Johannes Hurzeler of the Basel Museum of Natural History said today the skeleton, found after two years )f digging, pushes the beginnings of man back to at least 11 million years ago. That would mean, he explained, that man descended contempor- aneously with the apes-or even before them-perhaps from some common ancestor which resembled neither. Once Oldest The previous oldest known man was Australopithecus, the so-called southern ape found in South Africa. He dates back only half a million to a million years, and the Java and Pekin men go back only about 300,000 years. Two young miners, Enzo Bocca- lini, 22, and Arzellio Buisarini, 26, found the nearly compete skeleton last week with its bones jutting from a coal strata in the Bacinello mine, 15 miles northeast of Gros- seto. There scattered bones of Oropi- thecus, the new pre-man, were found two years ago by a team headed by Dr. Hurzeler and Dr. Helmutt de Terra of New York's Columbia University. The name means mountain ape in Greek. Hurzeler Notified Dr. Hurzeler was notified im- mediately of the new discovery and hurried here to examine the skele- ton. He said it apparently includes the arms and legs, spine, ribs and pelvis of a pre-man about four feet tall. There was no skull, but digging is continuing along the vein in the hope that the skull will turn up. The bones protruding from the Working Class Affected First By Economy Working class families will be the first to enjoy increased leisure as the American economy ad- vances, Vice-President William E. Stirton of the University told the Home Builders' Association of Mackinac Island Saturday. Free time will make working families more appreciative and more demanding of better homes, he added. "They will want these homes to be the center of their family life, to make it increasing- ly attractive in the face of tem- porary competition of superficial diversions. "On the other hand, their mo- bility, knowledge, and interest in other people will require a home that is not confining and restrict- ing." Stirton sharply criticized those who believe increased leisure is a threat to American survival. "These gloomy prophets are as- suming that people will not change with the times," he said. "Indus- trial and technological expansion, will foster change by forcing more and more people into advanced education and training programs just for economic survival." block of coal have been coated with plaster to protect them. The coal block is being cut loose today to be brought to the surface. After examination here, it will be taken to Basel after this week for de- tailed study. Ancient Deposit Dr. Hurzeler said the coal strata where the skeleton was found is a deposit at least 11 million years old. Two years ago, in his studies at the mine, Dr. de Terra said the bones might date back "as far as 15 to 20 million years." At that time parts of a skull, jawbone and fragments- of vertebra had been found. They belonged to a "man- like creature" which Dr. de Terra described as "somewhere between the size of a chimpanzee and a gorilla." He said the teeth were man-like and the jaw was short and verti- cal, like that of a man, instead of jutting out like a monkey's. First Bones Found The first bones of Oreopithecus were found in the Bacinello mine in 1869, almost a century ago. Miners did not know what they were and only the skull was sent to the museum, at Florence where it disintegrated to dust. Half a century later bones from the Bacinello mine were sent to the British Museum. They were labeled Oreopithecus but were put aside and not studied further until the new discoveries here two years ago.

The noise coming from the tools workmen are using to build the new library has often been disconcerting. Daily night editor Robert Junker indicated, "I'm going out of my mind." BEGINS TOMORROW: la Traviata' To Open At Lydia Mendelssohn 4' t, i "La Traviata," an opera by Guiseppe Verdi, will be presented at 8 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.

Josef Blatt, of the School of Music. Performed in English with a translation by Prof. Blatt, "La Traviata" is in essence, the well- known story of "Camille." ', It is concerned with the tragic romance of Violetta Valery, a beautiful courtesan of Paris, and Alfredo Germont, a sincere and poetic young man of a respectable provincial family. In the role of Violetta Valery will be seen Sandra Lovell, Grad., and playing Alfredo Germont will be Millard Cates, Grad. Verdi wrote "La Traviata" in 1853 while at work on another opera "Il Trovatore." Although he generally devoted about four months to the composition of an opera, he completed "La Traviata" in only four weeks. Other members of the cast are Don Ridley, Grad, as Baron Doup- hal; James Berg, Grad., as Dr. Grenvil; Miriam Barndt, Grad., as Flora Berviox and Wendell Orr, Grad., as Marquis d'Obigny.
