Seniors Plan
More Complete
Organization
A committee from the senior
rlass of 1950 met Thursday to
discuss ideas and plans for or
ganizing thc class more com
pletely. Those attending the meeting
were Fritz Daly, secretary of the
Alumni association. Bill Mueller,
nresident of the senior class,
Eugenie Sampson, and Roz How-
ard. Two other members of the
planning committee. Merle
Stalder and Bill Edmundson, !
were unable to attend. j
It was decided to send letters ,
tn ramnus organizations such as ,
Inter-Fraternity council and Pan
hellenic, requesting them to se
lect minor members for the
senior class committee and for
other senior activities, such as a
senior day or a class day.
"Classes meet as a whole while
thev are freshmen," Daley said,
"and do not meet together in a
mass meeting until Commence
ment." He went on to say that
the purpose of the senior com
mittee would be to increase the
unitv of the class as a whole.
"We hope everyone will give
their whole-hearted co-operation
toward the project," Mueller
commented.
Frosh Actors
Get Chance
For Own Play
For the first time the Univer
sity experimental theater will
present a play cast entirely of
freshmen.
According to Max Whittaker,
director, all roles in the produc
tion, "Guest in the House," will
be given to members of the
lreshmen acting group.
Tryouts for the play, which
will be presented the middle of
May, will be held Thursday and
Friday from 3 to 5 p. m. in the
Temple building. Results will be
announced next week.
Character Part 'Powerful"
"Guest in the House," written
by Hagar Wilde and Dale Eunsen,
is the story of a girl who is a
neurotic and has heart trouble.
According to Whittaker, the
character part is very powerful.
The play ran one year on
Broadway, and was later made
into a moition picture with Ann
Baxter in the principal role.
The reason for choosing this
play, pointed out the director,
was that he felt that "it was a
good play, and one that would
be difficult to produce."
"I feel that it will be a fine
educational experience for the
itudents participating in it,"
Whittaker said.
"All the characters are keenly
drawn," he concluded, "and there
aren't any unnecessary parts
such as you find in some plays
that could easily be omitted."
Cast of 14
The play has three acts and a
cast, composed of eight women
and six men. It will be given in
the Experimental theater in the
Temple building. The production
will use only one set.
Whittaker stressed (he fact
that this is the first play to be
presented entirely by freshmen
"It is a culmination," he pointed i
out, "of the year's work that the
freshmen acting group has done,
This group was also inaugurated
this year."
Vf oiler Presents
German 'Tour'
Dr. William Pfeiler. of the
Modern languages department,
took members of the German
club on "a tour through old Ger
many" Tuesday evening. The
"tour" was made by slide scenes
from 19th century Germany, ac
companied by Dr Pfeiler's talk,
which was delivered in a hum
orous win.
Of special interest was an ac
count of old German college life,
describing the fraternity
"Korps." the required dueling
and other customs. Dr. Pfeiler
noted that old universities of
Germany included jails for mis
behaving students on their cam
puses. The German club has been

Debate Teams Discuss
Nationalism-Pro and Con
Europe met America last night
on the University campus.
The meetiiiE! was in the form
of an international debate on the
topic of whether nationalism
should be looked upon with
favor or not.
Meeting two Scotti.-.h debaters,
Malcolm David Webster-Low and
Divid T. Reid. who upheld the
affirmative views, were Univer
sity debaters Rodney Lindwall.
and Jack Solomon who main
tained that "we should regard
the proposition with disfavor."
Low, representing the Univer
sity of Edinburgh, pointed out in
his first constructive speech that
the revival of nationalism should
be looked upon with favor for
two reasons. First, because na
tionalism is a liberating and
beneficial force, and second, be
cause it is an instinctive emotion
which is "better expressed rather
than thwarted."
"Nationalism Necessary"
Pointing out that nationalism
was a "unilving force," Low
stated that it is "necessary in
order to have popular liberty."
He divided nationalism into lour
stages: 1. The beginning of na
tionalism when it revolted
t against the world order of the
Miaaie Ages; 2. The revolting of
j the American colonies against
! reat Britain; 3. The revolt of
(Russia against the capitalists,!

Ag students at a convocation
Thursday.
Over 400 students and faculty
attended the convocation held at
the Ag Union to hear Dr. Mit
chell's talk and "Winning ths
J Cold War."
"The world did not need offic
ial pronouncements of the U. S.
: Department of State to recognize
that "agreement" between the
1 U. S. and the Soviet Union, ot
! any rate during the next few
j years, is impossible. To attempt
! to attribute blame is unneces
i sary; each party in fact must
share it. Widely
differing aims.
interests, and ideologies are to
a great measure responsible,"
he stated.
Worked in Korea
Dr. Mitchell worked with the
National Land Administration ol
Korea from 1946 to 1948 with
the U S. occupation forces. He j
managed 600,000 acres of farm i
land there until it was sold to
tenant farmers two years ago.
Continuing his talk on Korean
economics, he said "An impor
tant question in the minds of the
Korean people, and indeed all
the peoples of the nations re
ceiving American assistance, is
the question of "imperialism." If
this is imperialsim it is certainly
a greatly modified form, having
little in common with the eco-
l nomic exploitation that has
marked imperialistic activities in
I the last four hundred years. But
! the United States is engaging in
a thankless tasK. regardless.
Major Developments
Dr. Mitchell's book will take
up major developments in the
history of Korea prior to the
Japanese surrender, touch on the
high points of the occupation cf
the country by thc U. S. and
U.S.S.R. forces, and go into con
siderable detail with regard to
the land-reform program.
The convocation, sponsored by
Phi Upsilon Omicron, Home Ec
honorary, was one of the largest
and most successful this semes
ter. Michigan State).
Pollsters also reminded stu
dents that a S3 increase in tees
would make the total assessment
and 4. The nationalism that ex
ists today.
Presenting the negative view,
Lindwall pointed out that "the
objections and dangers arising
from the revival of nationalism
would far overshadow any possi
ble good that the members of the
affirmative claim it would do."
Objections
He presented three major ob
jections to reviving nationalism.
There is no conceivable need; it
has been historically undesirable,
and it would result in economic
chaos.
Lindwall maintained that thru
out history nationalism has
been one of the prime factors of
war. "Before nationalism be
gan." he said, "other factors
caused wars, but when national
ism was introduced, they were
the cause."
The University debater told
the audience that the revival of
nationalism would lead to unde
sirable trade barriers, cartels and
other evils, and would "hinder
recovery under the Marshall
plan.
Resuming the alfirmalive
stand, Keid explained that his
side admitted that nationalism
has a "bad name." He stated that
he and his collague "are deter
mined to hang the bad name of
nationalism ourselves."
Two Opposing Forces
He claimed that nationalism

Earlier freshman moot court
decisions were:
Revins and Walker over Ray

The moot court finalists, win-
ners of four consecutive years of
and communism are two oppos
ing forces, and are not com
patible. He pointed to two suc
cessful examples of nationalism,
in Yugoslavia and in Scotland.
Solomon presented two more
major objections to the looking
upon nationalism with favor. He
maintained that the revival
would mean that "we won the
war and lost the peace, and it
would weaken efforts to contain
communist expansion."
Supporting his issues, Solomon
stated that "if we accept the re
vival of nationalism, we will be
accepting a thing which we just
spent a whole war fighting." He
pointed to examples in Italy,
Germany and Japan.
"Hinder Marshall Plan"
Continuing, the University de
bater claimed that a revival of
such a force would stop the ef
forts of the United States thru
the Marshall plan to set the
countries of Europe "back on
their feet" so they could stop
Russian communist expansion.
No decision was given in the

Concert Set
For Tonight
Anderson lo Lead
10-Piece Group
Ever hear a 40-piece concert
ensemble composed entirely of
brass and percussion instru
ments? Such an organization the Uni
versity brass choir will present
its annual spring concert at 8
p. m. Thursday fn the Union ball
room. Directed by George Anderson,
a University graduate and former
I basses and drums. It is a unit
j of the pQTC band
Curtiss, Henry, Soloists.
Assisting the ensemble will be
Charles Curtiss, who will play
the baritone horn solo "La Man
dolinata," and Ben Henry, who
will present a tuba selection,
"The Voice of the Viking."
Curtiss. a sophomore music
major, also ffnds time to go out
for varsity baseball. Henry is a
graduate student in the School
of Music.
Although the brass choir is
comparatively new at the Uni
versity, the interest in the de
velopment of such an organiza
tion as a means of expression is
not without precedent.
In the 16th and 17th centuries
brass instrumental music flour
ished. It was not until the com
ing of the violin as an artistic
instrument that the brasses
ceased to be used as an inde
pendent group. The first con
cert at the University a few
years ago was so successful that
the School of Fine Arts decided
to make the concert an annual
j affajr.
Pros ram Varies
A variety of music is included
in Thursday's program. Opened,
appropriately enough, with An
derson's "Fanfare for Twenty
Trumpets," the concert gets un
derway with the "Overture to
Cadmus at Hermoinc" by Lully.
Classical composers will be
represented. The organization
will perform Gordon's arrange
ment of a Bach "Minuet" as well
as three pieces from Handel's
"Water Music" and the Allegro
from Mozart's "Eine Kleine
Narhtmusik."
Robert Stepp, founder of the
brass choir, will direct "Moods"
by Borowski.
Also included in the program
are the Chorale-Fughetta from
"Suite Miniature" by Miller, "The
French Quarter" by Morrisey and
Ostling's "Brass Pagentry
March."
The concert is free and open
to the public. A part of the
program of events presented by
the University School of Fine
Arts, it is sponsored by the Union
music committee.
