As professor of Naval Architecture, Louis A. Baier is by no means confined to the laboratory and classroom. Along with students, he is constantly designing and improving ships. Many of his designs are traveling the. watfrways todav, and he takes an active part in skippering tests and other cruises. i Such an intricate telescope would puzzle the average person, but to Dr. Rossiter it symbolizes a life-time of intensive research. His particular project is unique in that he has carried it on in South Africa since 1927. Although the work on the discovery and measurement of double stars was completed three years ago, the photographic plates of the Southern Milky Way were finished only last August. With the aid of the Mt. Wilson and Palomar Observatories, Dr. Rossiter hopes to gain new insight into this small scale stellar universe. 23

The second-story at 209 Washington Street houses what some people consider the center of all art in Ann Arbor the Arts Theater Club. Intent on expressing a new art form, the theater-in-the-round, these young artists have found themselves limited by slender funds and an even smaller amount of space. Regardless of the handicaps, they have come through their second year; they have estab- lished a legitimate place for the professional theater in a university community; and they have not been afraid to present the experimental. This interest in the experimental perhaps characterizes Arts Theater more than anything else: Stein, Brecht and Restor- ation comedy some of them American premiers - - have been seen. Drama is not the only pas- time for the arty set. Student writers are publishing, of course, in Generation, the campus outlet, and also in the Partisan Review, in New Story and in Poetry; important novels and important poetry is coming from the Hopwood foundation. Important music is being written; important art is being shown.
