As the play opens, Cantinflas is be hind in his rent, but, under pres sure by his landlady, finally de cides to seek employment. With the aid of the landlady’s daughter, a maid at the Gran Hotel, he succeeds in getting the position of bellhop No. 13. A wealthy American woman, guest of the hotel, gets the con fused impression that Cantiflas is a disguised member of Mexican nobility and the chase is on. From then on anything can happen and the picture winds up in a fast moving series of incidents with Cantinflas, the landlady’s daugh ter, the title-crazy American, an a few other characters. ‘‘There will be two short sub jects as well as the hilarious fea ture picture,” Professor Wright revealed, “and I believe it would be time well spent for any Uni versity student.” ASUO Government' (Continued front page one) of the existing ASUO constiution. The plans being considered, al ready largely in accordance with the present constitution, would consist of one representative from any organization recognized by the University, such as living groups, Orides, Yeomen, etc., with a mem bership of a yet-to-be-determined number of students, and an ad ditional representative for every 50 additional students or any ma jor portion thereof. Independents and Greeks alike would have rep resentation according to number, not political viewpoints or influ ences. The present executive council set-up, it is believed by the com mittee, does not give enough stu dents an adequate opportunity to voice opinions or take part in gov ernment or be well-informed as to the student organizations. Instead of the present 12-mem ber council, there would also be the congress composed of perhaps a hundred members, and function ing somewhat as the national con gress in Washington functions. Students would be able to have a. more direct contact with tl^ir representatives, and the adminis tration would have more direct ac cess to student opinion. Matters of policy and powers of the organization have not yet been determined, but it is predict ed by members of the committee that this pre-organizational work will be completed rapidly in order that the congressional ASUO government may begin functioning actively on the campus as soon as possible. ATTENTION ALL COEDS!! ^“'Now is the time to stock up on that all important item— SWEATERS Come in soon and ask to see our complete stock United Nations Relief Director Visits Campus Professor Joseph Harris, mem ber of the political science depart ment at the University of Califor nia at Berkeley, visited the politi cal science department Tuesday enroute from Washington, D.C. to Berkeley. He is the retiring direct or of the United Nations Relief association having been on leave of absence from the Berkeley cam pus for this important work . Returning from Washington, after a recent personal inspection tour he made to continental Europe, he stated that the reports of the tremendous devastation in Germany were not overrated. The destruction in London does not even begin to compare with the de stroyed German cities. One of the items that he noticed most was the runaway inflation in France where in Paris it requires $18 for a bottle of champagne it requires $.60 for the same bottle of champagne in Weisbaden, Germany. He stressed the fact that France is 'not devastated as Germany ex cept in the battle areas as in Nor mandy, but even there construc tion is proceeding while in Ger many the people have not even started to construct their hopeless ly destroyed cities. The significant thing about Germany is the fact that people are employed working in the fields and stores while in France there is much unemploy ment. Worked on Atomic Bomb (Continued from page one) they did not have a single major accident. Counselor Miss Buchanan was also coun selor for women from September 1944 until the project closed in February of this year and the ac tual operations took over. She mentioned that there was a regu lar shopping center, complete with tores, from drugs to Montgomery Ward, and a bank at which on pay days there could be seen a line three blocks long of people waiting to get in. There was also a huge theater and auditorium, where name bands, once four in a week, played for dances. “Even after two years there, in which I got to know the guards pretty well, I still had to show my badge—just like convicts,” she smiled. “The barracks areas were guarded 24 hours a day.” Short Leave After the project closed, Miss Buchanan was home only 36 hours when she received notice to go to Louisville, Ken., for DuPont as a housing supervisor at their Char leston, Ind., plant about 30 miles away. She was there two months and had charge of housing for both the white and colored women. Miss Buchanan taught at Rose burg high school for 11 years as senior English instructor after graduating from the University. For a while she was head resident of Susan Campbell hall on the cam pus and then went to Lewis and Clark in Portland as dean of wo men, going to Hanford from there. “I’m glad to be back though I have to confess I still have a feel ing of dread when I enter Villard hall,” she said; “probably because I remember my English Lit classes there.” As for her own classes, Miss Buchanan declares that they are exceptional (as teachers usually do, she added). She is especially im pressed by the students’ eagerness to learn, especially on the part of the ex-GIs and feels it inspires a teacher to do her best.
