The pert, prematurely grey- haired lady is administrative as- sistant in the Office of Student Affairs, a job which places her in the sometimes enviable position of secretary to the Student Govern- ment Council. SGC members who work with "Mrs. C," as they call her are unending in their praise. In the words of Executive-Vice-President Dan Belin, '59. "she's tops." This is undoubtedly one motion which the Council would "clearly approve." "Mrs. C's" Hobby Mrs. Callahan seems to make somewhat of a hobby of student leaders. On the second shelf of the book case in her Student Activities Building office sits a book entitled very postively "Who." It contains clippings from past Dailies, profiles of campus leaders since 1949, which she has very carefully pasted in. "I would predict," she continued gazing into her own crystal ball, "that having established such a pattern of leadership here, most will fall into place as community leaders. I expect to see the people in this book and the people who will be entered into it on city councils, boards of education, boards of regents and I am sure I 16, l E s I i E i S i i 4': -,4 that there is a future governor of at least this state among them."' While obtaining her master's degree in education from the Uni- versity in 1954, Mrs. Callahan was serving as secretary of the Com- mittee qn Student Affairs, a fore- runner of the present Student Government Council. 'he Student Affairs Committee came to their decisions through discussion and consensus, with little parliamentary procedure used," she recalled. "Although the committee was composed of mem- bers of the student body, adminis- tration and faculty, I would say that a straight student-adminis- tration split almost never occur- red.'' "There is definitely an increase in the amount of work as far as my job goes since the instigation of the Council," Mrs. Callahan remarked. The Student Affairs Committee met irregularly at first, and then only twice a month. Describes "Typical Day" Asked if she would give a run- down on a "typical day," Mrs. Callahan confessed that each of her days is "unpredictable." "It generally starts out calmly, but I never know when something is going to flare up," she said. "When the student leaders take over their offices in the afternoon, you would like todbe more than one person," she added ruefully. However, she indicated that there is more than adequate recompense for the headaches involved in her job. "Students keep mewell in- formed of what's going on in the world during the summer through their letters, she said.

Academic Responsibility Prime "Academic responsibility has to come first," she said. "But if I took an eligibility check over the past 10 years, I'm reasonably certain that the average of students en- gaged in campus activities would be well above that of a sampling of people who were not in any activi- ties at all." "It is up to anyone who is marginal scholastic-wise to be cautious about assuming duties in organizations such as this," she said firmly. Bromage Cites Money Issues (Continued from Page 1) The 15-mill limit was initiated as an amendment during the 1932 depression. This is the pie that has to be shared by counties, townships and school districts. The taxes of cities and villages are outside this over-all limit, but they lack clearvauthority to tax other major sources such as on income or amusements. The same tax rate must be ap- plied by local units on suburban fringe property as on downtown areas according to the Constitu- tion's uniformity clause. If the state should adopt an income tax, it might be considered a tax on property, and therefore would have to be at a uniform rate. A personal, graduated income tax with higher rates for larger in-y comes might at present prove un- constitutional. The constitutional limitations which have pyramided are al- most insuperable for the Legisla- ture and local governments in planning an adequate fiscal pro- gram. The elected representatives of the people are bound by com- plex directives as to taxes, reve- nues, and debts. The call of a convention can- not relieve the immediate short- age of money. It can pave the way for legislative latitude in bringing order out of Michigan's tax muddle. Bartlett Sets Educational Prototypes Superintendent of Public In- struction Lynn M. Bartlett pro- posed recently a group of desirable and hoped-for standards for an effective and certified teacher. He noted that a 17-man com- mittee appointed by the State Education Board is studying the teacher certification code in order to make any needed revisions. General Education Asked He said he believed that a fully qualified and certified teacher must be generally well-educated, as well as trained in his field. He should know the factors in the learning process, so that he may be an effective teacher, Bart- lett continued. It is necessary that he understand the nature of his contemporary society in order that he be able to teach efficiently within, that society. Must Realize Problem It is essential that he realize the problem underlying the Amer- ican tradition and democracy, and that he have a personality and moral character suitable to the teaching profession, Bartlett said. Bartlett remarked that the mere formulation of these standards is not the difficult task, but that of implementing them. "But I am certain that it can be done," he concluded.

SYDNEY CHAPMAN .discusses IGY Prof. Sydney Chapman praised the International Geophysical Year yesterday for making avail- able much valuable Information from all over the globe. Speaking on "The Nations Unite," his fourth and last in a series of lectures, the visiting pro- fessor of aeronautical engineering cited as "outstanding" the fact that IGY has been all but free from political inteference. With the exception of Red China, who bowed out becauseI Formosa was taking part, scientists from 66 countries were unified and carried out correlated action, he said. Prof Chapman listed as several "first fruits" of the IGY "in the study of the solid earth and its atoms." Instruments placed on many coasts have recorded information for locating storm areas in other parts of the world. In this way, he said. earthquakes can be fore- cast before they actually take place. A new electrical method for measuring ocean currents from ships is important as valuable in- formation on the gulf stream can be collected. Prof. Chapman noted. One study, he said, revealed the stream swerves aside at various points and times. Radar has been introduced to measure deep sea currents, a sub- ject on which there is very little information. The currents are im- portant to weather forecasting, he said, because they exchange heat between lower and higher lati- tudes. Float Called Important He listed a "neutral buoyancy float," a device to measure deep j sea currents, as being important in "one of the great oceanic dis- coveries of modern times"-the finding of a great submarine river which flows for at least 3500 miles under the equatory in the Pacific. The current is 250 miles wide and the volume of its flow is comparable with that of a thou- sand Mississippis, Prof. Chapman { reported, It flows eastward at about 27 miles a day and is sandwiched be- tween two slow Westward currents- Chapman Commends IGY For Valuable Information DONT FORGET!
