'Darling Daughter' To Open Monday; Guest Prof Directs Experienced Cast
By IIENRY GRANT COMPTON
Hurricane Staff Writer
The adventures of a modern miss and her attempts to fulfill a love affair with her favorite young man provide the plot for Monday night’s opening of “Yes My Darling Daughter.”
The second summer stock production will be directed by Warren Smith, guest director at the drama department. Held in the Tent Ring theater on the main campus, it will run from
July 17 to 29.	i----------------------------
The sophisticated comedy by Mark Reed deals with the daughter of a famous pioneer suffragist and feminist of the early Greenwich Village days. When the mother disapproves of the girl’s projected affair, the daughter reminds her parent of her own free-thinking youth and bohemian life with a young poet.
Experienced Cast The appearance of that same poet, now a distinguished literary agent, and the influence of the daughter’s aunt, a product of the “lost generation,” makes the action fast and funny.
The role of the "darling daughter,” Ellen Murray, will be played by Joyce-Ann Davis, a senior at Coral Gables high serving an apprenticeship with the drama department. This will be her first appearance on the University stage.
The free-thinking mother, Ann Whitman Murray, is portrayed by Annette Foosaner who appeared in last summer’s “In A Garden” as well as productions with the Chicago repertory theater.
Joseph Dunigan, an experienced University actor, seen recently in Cyrano De Bergerac as the “Comte,” will play the role of Titus Jaywood the former Greenwich Village poet.
Newcomer In Role The boy-friend, a discouraged architect off for Europe and the life of a razor salesman, is acted by newcomer Dennis Hall. A drama major and transfer student from the.
University of Washington, he has played a total of 288 performances.
The gay, chic, but unlucky in love. Aunt Connie will be played by Marion Casen who just finished the role of Elaine Harper in “Arsenic And Old Lace.”
Pre-law student Jay Reilly will be seen as the father, Lewis Murray. Though associated with other acting groups this will be his first part at Miami.
Mary Bryant, a freshman drama student last seen in “Cyrano” will play the Murrays’ servant.

Klan Theme Set For IRC Show
“Blow That Whistle,” a story of the Ku Klux Klan in a Southern town, will be presented by the International Relations committee on their “Lest We Forget” radio series tomorrow at 10 a.m. on WTTT.
This week’s story concerns a mailman who gets drawn into joining the Klan in a raid on a small business owned by an Ameri-an-Greek. Before the Klan members can do any harm, however, the mailman, played by Everett Sloan, broadway actor, has a change of heart and blows his whistle, which halts the proceedings.
A panel discussion will follow the 15-minute transcription, according to Irwin Miller, chairman. Participants in the talk will be Dolores Tharpe, speech major; Tom Norwalk, human relations major; and Ralph Sackett, human relations major.
Job Applications Open
All students graduating at the end of the summer session who plan to use the services of the U-M placement office should file an employment application immediately.
The outcome of the battle now raging in Korea will determine whether the United Nations can enforce peace and halt aggression.
This was the keynote of the speech made by Dr. Herman Finer, visiting professor of social sciences, to members and guests of the Miami branch of the American Association for the UN at the local Red Cross headquarters.
U. S. Acts Quickly He pointed out that it was important that the United States had acted so quickly in this matter because “if the UN is to have strength it must have swiftness of action and heaviness of force.”
Dr. Finer explained that the League of Nations was instrumental in giving birth to the UN. He said that there is no world government; UN was not drafted in that way. The UN charter is not more than a treaty.
He mentioned how regrettable it is that Egypt, a member of the Security Council, abstained from joining the majority in voting for
UN action. Her claim that the Ko- !

“The Soviet Union had refused to admit to UN membership the countries whose politics she did not approve. Her absence in the UN is certainly her own fault.”

Summer Graduates Will Get Degrees AtMiradeTheater
Summer school graduating seniors will get their degrees Sunday, July 30, at the Miracle theater in a combined Baccalaureate-commencement service, Dr. H. Franklin Williams, dean of the faculty, announced this week.
The procession will start at 9 a.m., and the ceremonies are scheduled to begin at 9:45. Students and faculty taking part will gather inside the air-conditioned theater. Graduates from the teacher training course and Law school will also take part in the ceremonies, but will not receive degrees until completion of their courses August 15 and August 12, respectively.
A reception-dance will be given for seniors, their parents and friends at the Student club Saturday, July 29, from 8:30 to midnight. Dress will be optional.
"It is hoped,” Dr. Williams said, “that all faculty members who have their own caps and gowns will take part in the reception so that the University will make a good showing.”
There will be no early exams or grade deadlines for summer school seniors. They will take examinations at the regular time and teachers will be urged to rush senior grades through. All degrees will be bestowed on a conditional basis.

A 12-year-old junior high school student is now an unofficial member of the Hurricane staff.
Nancy Starkstein, an eighth grader at Shenandoah Jr. High, comes up to the publications offices every day with her sister, Eleanor, asst, news editor, and is put to work doing varied jobs around the newspaper office.
In the past few weeks this summer, Nancy has helped her sister mail and type business letters for some of the staff members, has typed up the classified ads, and even has a news article printed in the Hurricane to her credit.
“Since I’ve started coming up to the office,” said Nancy, “I’ve decided I want to go to college here. I think probably I’ll be a journalism major too.”
The blonde “junior journalist” has even become an unofficial student here. A few nights a week she goes to class with her sister and sits in the back of the room taking psychology notes. After class, Nancy is able to have an intelligent conversation on • psych with her sister. So if a 12-year-old should

‘ We don’t believe in favoritism,” j s*'dd Dr. Donald R. Larsen, chair -i man of the government department, “but this man’s work was so good that we had to bring him back.”
| Such was the reason for Victor Walter’s return to the U-M campus as an instructor in the government department. He will begin his work by teaching a senior seminar in government during the second summer session.
Walter received his BA in eco-Inomics and political science from | the University in 1947, and then ¡studied a year at the Law school. From Miami he went to Duke University, where he had an assistant-ship and received his MA in political science.
