'Skin Of Our Teeth’ OT GETS ALL-AMERICAN Will Open Tomorrow RATING F0R TIME
iJI-Amprinan honor* havp hcpn awarded
By MARILEE MILROY
Bovard Auditorium will look entirely different tomorrow night than it did last Friday afternoon with a ladder plopped In stage center, boards and material strewn in odd places and confusion seeming to be rampant.
This apparent confusion will melt into scenery, acting, lighting . . . and Thornton Wilder humor when the drama department presents “The skin of Our Teeth" at 8:30 tomorrow night. The play, w hieh will run through Sunday, promotes, according to William C. White, production manager, Wilder's message that “man can survive his successive ice ages, floods and total wars through hope, faith and an indestructible sense or humor.” Wilder Tradition This message is worked out in Wilder’s traditional way with jumps from the present d<»y to
I cave dwelling times. As Paul | Comi, who plays one ef the leads put it, "The play sxlps through the history of mankind in the form of parable. It shows the hu-' man race just barely escaping the catastrophies of things sucn as glaciers and floods . . . but the end of the play, as in life, shows man emerging from a world war wearily but still ! ready to re-establish civilization.”
The thesis of Wilder is that through all encounters mankind escapes destruction by the skin of its teeth, hence the title. "The Skin of Our Teeth."’
Cast of Play
Among the principal roles are Henry Artrobus, who represents Cain, played by Peter Hayman, and Mr. Antrobus, Henry’s father, played by Pau? Comi. Herb Pataki, Gretchen Kanne, Carol Daniels and Kathy Combs will take other lead parts.

SAFETY, SPEED
Tests Prove Efficiency Of Dental Instruments
By JACKIE BROOKS
Investigations at the SC Dentistry School in the field of ultra high speed rotating instruments have so far proved that there are no apparent harmful effects to the teeth due to these instruments.
According to a spokesman from the school, for many yeare the speed of the dental burr remained at 4000 to 6000 rpm.' But during the last few years, with the advent of newer equipment, it was noted that as the speed increased there was a resultant increase in efficiency of the cutting operation, and a decrease in the time required for cavity preparations.
More Efficient
A speed of 40,000 rpm was the first goal set. This speed produced about a 600 per cent increase in efficiency over the slower speeds. At present, speeds in excess of 200,000 are being investigated. The SC Dentistry School was the first teaching
Students Warned Ticket Sales For Songfest Going at Top Speed
Ticket chairman Bob Johnson told the DT today that ticket sales for the 1957 version of i Songfest. SCs all-student music show, are "selling like hotcakes!"
Songfest, now in its fourth year, will be presented in the world-famous Hollywood Bowl on ! Friday evening. May 17. Formerly held in the Greek theater, I Songfest moved to the Bowl this year because of the near sellout at last year's performance.
Tickets Going Johnson announced that tickets, selling for $1.50 and SI. are available in the SC ticket office but that the "best seats" were going fast. He added that while center section box seats w»ere definitely most desired, ANY seat in the Bowl was “very good”
“Because of the wonderful acoustics of the Bowl,” Johnson told the DT. even the top row is great as far as listening is concerned.”
In addition, he said that the Bowl's massive stage, covered by Its famous huge half-shell, was “easy to s°e from any angle.” Hi'"? C~st With a cast of more than 85f participants sinking in 27 groups this year, Songfest is at its big- (

“Songfest w ill be judged, is in the past, by outstanding personalities from the music and entertainment world," s^id Johnson. "In all. it looks like Songfest for 19" will outdo an' previous

1 show.”
The Songfest committee, working with unprecedented enthusiasm, is planning to see that it does Gordon Jenkins, chairman of the yearly event, said “This year's programming has the greatest potential of any show so far.” He added that “civic and community” leaders were boosting the show, and that “alumni are unusually gung-ho about the show.”
Record Turnout
More than 4400 persons attended last year’s show’, and the Songfest committee anticipates a record turnout of “over 6000 this year, and possibly more.”
Program chairman Tom Morales. equally enthusiastic about the performance, announced that songs in the show would range from spirituals to comedy, from rhythm to melcdic, and from spirited to sedate.
Groups will be represented in six divisions: men's, women’s, mixed, small men's and women’s, and novelty.
Kappa Kappa Gamma, the “New York Yankees’’ of Songfest—they have never lost the Sweepstakes trophy yet—are entered in only one division, the w omen's large group.
institution to enter into clinical investigation of this new field.
Frictional heat developed in the tooth, production of harmful vibration frequencies, cutting efficiencies and pain control are a few of the things which must be considered in using these high speeds.
Human Guinea Pigs In order to test these factors, volunteers were used for the experiments. No anesthetic is given for many procedures. This allows for an analysis of any pain that may be produced.
One cavity was prepared using ordinary speeds and another with the ultra high speeds. During the entire procedure a polygraph, or lie-detector, was attached to the patient recording blood-pressure, pulse rate, electrodermal response and breathing rate. All of these were altered by pain.
The teeth operated on w’ere removed and studied microscopy ically to see if there w’ere any harmful effects to the pulp tissues due to the increased speeds.
Cooke to Give Noon Reading
Work of Sinclair Lewis To Be Aired
The chapters devoted to college life in Sinclair Lewis’ “Ar-row'smith” will be the subject of the Englis/i department noon reading read by Dr. John D. Cooke, dean of the summer session and acting dean of the graduate school today in 129 FH.
Dr. Cooke, at SC since 1920, has been a professor of English and taught 19th and 20th century novels for 25 years. His speciality is Old Middle English.
Lewis, winner or t h e Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930, is a satirist and a social reformist. He won the Nobel ?*rize mainly because of his attempt to be more realistic.
Cites Interests
Cooks states that Lewis’ special interests centered upon “m e d i c i n e , education, hotel keeping and the professional i status of women."
His novels are largely autobiographical. Lewrs worked as a hotel clerk which found fruition in his “Work of Art,” His interest in professional women is seen in “Ann Vickers” and "The Job.”
“Lewis had the habit of carrying about a notebook in which he recorded particular things he observed,” said Cooke.
“Arrowsmith,” written in 1935, deals chiefly with the study of a man w’ho wanted to be a re-search scientist." The parts dealing with college life will De featured in the reading. Cooke considers "Arrowsmith” Lewis’ masterpiece.
Main Street
Lewis shows the “raw side” of a small midwestern town in *'Main Street.” It is said that this is a portrait of the small town in which the Nobel Prize winner was brought up.
“Babbitt” is the story of an “average, middle aged man in a rut.”
In “Work of Art” we find two brothers who try to build an ideal hotel. One brother appears as hero in the first two chapters, then he is seen only once or twice in the rest or the book. His brother then takes over the hero role.
Final Decision on Board Action Rests in Senate
After an 11-hour, surprise-filled meeting, the election Board of Protest voted late Friday night to recommend the disqualification ®f all candidates listed on the mysterious "white” slate.
Leading the list or candidates facing disqualification today at noon when the ASSC Senate meets in special session ara Dennis Fagerhult, presidential candidate; Starla Coffee, unopposed vice presidential candidate; Maryanne Hammatt, secretary candidate; and Bob Hokom, yell king candidate.
The Board of Prbtest, made up of Clunie Holt, Dareie Schaefer, Jack Frost, Bob Meads and Kay Werner, will recommend the

The Senate will decide the matter, but Chairman Clunie Holt has said that possible action may also be taken by the Student Activities Committiee.
All other candidates for office, including those on the “blue” and "larg« w-nlte” slates, have been approved b the Board for the election.
It is expected that the Senate will be asked by tne Board for its ruling on the recommended disqualifications before the popular votes from last week's elections are announced.
Presidential hopeful Larry Sipes, who faces the prospect of winning the election by default if Fagerhult is disqualified, has said that he is “willing to abide by the will of the Senate no matter what it decides upon even if it means another election.”
But Sipes has a?so reportedly stated: “If I don't have the popular vote of the student body I will under no circumstances, accept the office of ASSC president.”
Candidate Fagerhult said last night that he “will wait to see what action the Senate and the Board of Protest takes before deciding what to c?o. Fagerhult faces the unwelcome prospect of winning the popular vote of the student body and losing the election.

Lockley Cites Hoover Career In Newsletter
The belief in government regulation of business need not conflict with a belief in freedom of enterprise. Dean Lawrence C. Lockley of the School of Commerce wrrote in his May economic letter.
Lockley cited the administration and philosopny of Herbert Hoover,
“Here is a man (Hoover),” Lockley w-rote, “who has been a life-long advocate of free enterprise capitalism.”
Hoover View Lockley then said he took Hoover’s view as expressed in “The Memoirs of Herbert Hoover,” as being one which lauded private capital as rar as it could go, but which reanzes that business abuses must be regulated out.
Lockley quoted Hoover as saying that "those who contend that during the period of my administration our economic system was one of laissez Taire (no government intervention in business) have little knowledge of the extent of government regulation. The economic philosophy of Iaissei faire, or "dog eat dog,” had died in the United States 40 years before, when Congress instituted the Interstate Commerce Commission and passed the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.” Active Career “As a cabinet officer and president, he was active in promoting federal projects which would enhance the opportunities for profitable enterprise,” Lockley said of Hoover.
Student Art To Be Seen

By GARRV SHORT
SCs three vice presidents’
; veto of the Skuli and Dagger plan to move the All-American footprints to the area around Tommy Trojan brought a wrath of comments from students, faculty and outsiders alike last week.
Most of the opinions agree with the disadvantages sighted by the vice presidents in their refusal. But they took for solutions now rather tnan waiting perhaps 10 years until Heritage Hall is completed, as the vice presidents suggest.
Disadvantage List
In their refusal, the vice presidents gave as disadvantages:
(1)	Any paint that might be thrown on the plaques would be next to impossible ro get out of the small holes left by the ath- ; letes shoe spikes.
(2)	If a woman should get her high heel caught in one of the groves and twist her ankle, the school would be responsible.
Because of these two disadvantages, the vice presidents refused Skull and Dagger's request [ to move the prints to Tommy ! Trojan. With their refusal, how-i ever, they offered the suggestion that the mer^' honorary wait until Heritage Hall is com- | pteted and put them in their "rightful place ”
I “This is a fine idea,” Skull i they are right now.
SI-
3ut it is
r the prints it place on
up another to the vice week.-’ Simon-the revised letter le idea of the glass covering and how it could be done.”
As far as Simonion and Skull and Dagger are concerned, the Heritage Hall plan is “poor for two reasons: First is the uncertainty of when the ?>uilding will be completed. The second reason is that the loo by of Heritage Hall will not leave room for expansion.
Keep up to Date
"In our plan fo move the prints to the area around Tommy Trojan, we wanted to hring and keep the footprints up to date ” Simonian sard.
Phelps Terkel Dissents
When notified of the vice president’s refusal to have the prints moved to Tommy Trojan. Phelps Terkel manager, Joe Barbato, was disappointed.
“I guess you just can’t beat those guys.” Barbato said. “They’re reasons don'* make sense. They're exposed where
