The Marine Corps offers three
officer candidate programs for
college students both men and
women who are interested in a
career in this branch of the ser
vice. However, under the Marine
plan, officer candidates are not
trained during the academic year.
All training is taken during the
summer and a student receives
his Marine commission as 2nd
lieutenant upon college gradua
tion. Major J. R. Stockman, in charge
of the University Marine recruit
ment program and also associated
with the NROTC unit, is the man
. to contact for further information
about the opportunities oifered by
a career in the Marines.
Women, as well as men, can
take advantage of the Marine of
ficer candidate plan. Students who
are undergraduates will attend

lic enemy No. 13, and his moll,
Bonnie LaTour. Dr. Moon is mak
ing a getaway after pulling a job
in. the States. He gives the extra
ticket which belonged to his part
ner, Snake Eyes Johnson, to Billy.
The plot thickens as the author
ities, looking for Dr. Moon and
his partner, start chasing. Billy,
who is chasing Hope. Most of the
musical's action takes place
board ship.
Such hits as "You're the Top,"

Get a Kick Out of You," which
Ethel Merman made famous when
she played the lead in the Broad
way musical, are featured in the
production. Other top hits are:

Dr. Stern said that, "The pres
ent rate of one-half to one per
cent abnormal offspring in the
present birth rate would increase
only one-tenth of one per cent
as a result of widescale exposure
of population to irradiation in any
generat;on."
"Counceling in Human Genet
ics" will be the subject of another
lecture by Dr. Stern. This type
of counseling, "will grow in size
and scope" and serve to a very
useful tool for pre-marriage ad
vice, he added.
Dr. Stern said there are, "four
or five such counseling centers"
in the U. S. today and perhaps a
half dozen consultants.
The University has been using
a book written by Dr. Stern, en
titled, "principles of Human Gen
etics." This text has also been
translated into the Japanese lan
guage.
Dr. Stern, who is a native of
Germany was a visiting lecturer
in the United States in 1924-26
and returned in 1932 as a mem
ber of the Rockerfeller Founda
tion. "I intended returning to Ger
many, but I never did," he said
in referring to the advent of Hit
ler at the time.
Dr. Stern has been an advisor
to the Atomic Energy Commission
since 1947 and a former editor of
"Genetics," a professional publi
cation.

Pollsters OK
Former Reds
On Faculties
Pnlleee students favor allowing
former members of the Commu
nist party to teach on college fac
ulties.
This fact was determined In a
recent ACP poll of student opin
ion conducted on a national ba
sis. The results of this poll
were: yes, 45 per cent; no, 39
per cent; no opinion, nine per
cent," says a senior in education
at the University of Idaho.
One of the questions: "Do you
think avowed Communist Party
members should be allowed on
college faculties?" brought over
whelming no's from the students.
The results were yes, nine per
cent; no, 85 per cent; no opinion,
four per cent; and others, two
per cent.
The few students who said yes
usually qualified their answers
"Communist teachers should be
advertised as such," said a jun
ior at the University of Nebraska.
A sophomore in Law at Phoenix
college, Arizona, claimed they
should be "shot down like dogs.'
Manv students think former
Communists would be good teach
ers because, as one student put
it, "They would. Know Dom siaes.
An ACP survey last winter in
dicated that the majority of stu
dents were against loyalty oaths
for college professors. In the
present survey, 60 per cent of the
graduate students were in favor
of college teaching jods ior lonner

upon their shoulders. The char
acters are Mr. Engstrand, Pastor
Manders, Oswald Alving, Mrs.
Alving and Regina.
The story concerns Mrs. Alving
and the conflicts which have re
sulted in her life because of the
social conventions and prejudices
of the past. It gives a dramatic
picture of Mrs. Alving at a time
in her life when the unfortunate
events of the past seem to have
been completely erased and she
is looking forward to the hap
piness and contentment an elderly
mother desires. Unfortunately, she
finds that the ghosts of the past
keep popping up.
The play is considered by many
scholars to be one of the finest
modern tragedies ever to be writ
ten. Ibsen hihiself is known as the
father of modern drama.
