Harley to Review Reves Peace Plan
One of the most controversial books of recent publication, Emery Reves* “The Anatomy of Peace,” will be reviewed by Dr. Eugene Harley, professor of political science, in this week's book interpretation at 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday in the art and lecture room of University Library.
“The Anatomy of Peace” is one of those big “if” hypotheses. Controversial repercussions from the book are already arousing heated discussion. The purpose of the book is to demonstrate that as long as the human race continues to be divided into separate and independent states there can be no enduring peace.
Chairman Naomi Jackson asks ail people selling bids for the ball to etum extra bids to Newman house, j Monday at noon.
In keeping with the stardust tiieme, the ball will open with the “Stardust Medley” and close with the “Stardust Goodnight,” following closely the theme of the dance held by the Newman club last yar.
Included in the evening’s entertainment will be a humber of guest stars whose names will be announced later.
Tlie dance will be a semi-formal affair with business suits acceptable for men.
BIDS NOW ON SALE
Bids are being sold for $3 and may be obtained from all members or at the Newman clubhouse, 636 35th place.
Chairman Naomi Jackson announces that only a limited number of bids will be sold, thus preventing an overcrowded dance.
Highlighting the dance will be the music of Leroy Simonson and his radio artists, who have recently completed engagements with the
Mocambo, Trianon, Del Mar, and the Players. As a feature member of his band, Simonson presents Lyman Gandee, former pianist with Kay Kyser. Simonson takes pride in playing a soft and smooth type of music, self-styled after the popu-lar Freddy Martin.
WASHINGTON, May 5— (UP) — Rep. Walter Norbald, D., Ore., said tonight that the navy is all wet. He never felt better in his life.
Reporting on his condition after eating a lunch salvaged from the navy’s Astoria, Ore., garbage dump, he said he felt “like a million dollars.” The navy had said he’d wake up with dysentery.
“Why, I feel so good,” Norblad said, “I’m going out and walk around the zoo all afternoon. Dysentery, my eye!”
A World War II army-veteran. Norbald dined with apparent relish Saturday in the House restaurant on canned pork, dehydrated cranberries and lemonade made from canned lemon juice powder.
He explained that the food salvaged from the navy garbage dump was given to him while he was home in Astoria last week.
The navy had warned him in advance that he’d be a sorry man today because the food had been condemned as unedible.

Given Tech' Performances Vary; Music Stands Out
by Tex Abbott
Playing to near-capacity^ crowds both nights, “Given Tech,” Troy's first postwar musical comedy, presented two different shows. Friday night's show was rusty with inexperience, being the first time that the production had gone through from beginning to end in proper sequence. The initial performance, marked by the appearance of Peter Lawford and Lew Ayres, began late and ended past midnight. Between scenes was unpardonably long with no musical relief and many of the songs and : specialties dragged in length.
Saturday night's production was radically different and delightfully fresh. Hardened with a night’s experience and criticism, the show ran smoothly and precisely. Some of the specialty acts were shuffled to provide intermissicn relief. Dialogue that did not contribute to the action of the play was butchered and songs were chopped in half. The production was hailed enthusiastically by a responsive audience and ended favorably at 11:30 p.m.
Despite the length and sporadic dullness of “Given Tech,” no fault can be found with the music.
Tunes were lilting and rousing, sentimental and inspiring. Composers Dick Kamrar and Ben Lees contributed to the over-all success of the show immensely.
Lyrics by Lenny Adelson, music director of the show,
Dick Eshleman, depictor of the professor in the cast, and Harvey L. Edwards, producer of the musical, were skillful and aided the show.
i Energetic Ray Davis, conductor of the orchestra,
I turned in a beautiful performance with the overture,
I
by far the best arranged section of the music division. Davis was crip- cleverly staged, and merited his applause.
HARVEY EDWARDS . , , producer
pled from further efforts by receiving a mere fraction of the arrangements late. The orchestra had rehearsed the music prior to opening night only twice.
Pert Dolores Peterson ran true to form in capturing the audience with perfect acting poise. She was the only actress not guilty of overacting her part.
In special honors, Larry Harmon | and Dick Eshleman rank top billing. In the second scene, both starred in the classroom act. Har- j mon, zanily clowning the part of “Gordo,” provided the needed comedy relief. The young comedian, already recognized for his laugh-provoking antics on his own radio show, borrowed the fur coat of Bob Hope's journey ir. “Road to Utopia,” and galloped through the production with a laugh-a-minute goal.
Eshleman, somber clad professor Df “Given Tech,” was heavily lined with grease paint to picture maturity. His acting was so reminescent Df a real-life professor that he struck sure success with his ragings, pleadings, and expoundings. His performance was beautifully do$e,

Scenery was meager and drab, but the songs and dialogue capably diverted attention away from the fact. The brilliant sets designed by Prof. Jerry Bense of the Arts and Architecture faculty were never executed and props were scoured from the drama department and the storerooms of Warner brothers.
Brightest of the five scenes was the second, parodying life in a classroom. “Man and Woman Civilization” scored a tremendous success. The scene was a clever coalescence of James Thuber and Max Shulman, spiced with outstanding acting. Dick Marine’s obnoxious rendition of “Star of the Team.” and easy dialogue. Intermission interviews Friday night established I the favor of the second scene.
Dr. Frank C. Baxter applauded the rousing tune and lyrics of “Let's Be Gay.” The loquacious member of the English faculty spieled off a heavy bar-' rage of adjectives, among which were “delightful, fresh, inspiring, and invigorating.”
If the professor doesn't watch out,’’ commented Baxter, “he will be garnered as an addition to the i faculty here.”
Saturday night's production found a new song added to the fourth scene that was so warmly received that it brought the only encore of the show.
Roberta Hill, who led the graduate house to award-winning in the AWS sponsored “Something for the j Girls,” presented a decidedly great number
organization.

Heavy Vote Beats French Communists
PARIS, Monday. May S.—Th*
French people, swarming to the polls in record numbers, today rejected the leftist-sponsored constitution, thus inflicting a sensational defeat on the communists and socialists.
The result, which was clear from nearly complete returns, meant that the electorate must start over again and name a new assembly to write the constitution to take the place j of the one which perished with the j rise of tlie Vichy government ln 1940.
