Smith Says Law School
Must Maintain Prestige

By ANDREW HAWLEY
The necessity for the University
law school to maintain its na-
tional and international prestige,
and to broaden its scope of legal
attention, was stressed by Dean
Allan F. Smith in a speech to the
Development Council conference
yesterday.
Speaking at a luncheon for the
seventh annual meeting of the
Council, Prof. Smith, who was re-
cently appointed head of the law
school, praised the school as a
"great and going institution" add-
ing, however, that "we believe
strongly there is no end to prog-
ress."
Views Research Progress
He listed as one of the areas in
which he hoped progress would be
made, the school's research pro-
gram-"one of which we can be
proud"-stressing increased atten-
tion to the modern implications
of international law.
Prof. Smith expressed alarm at
the support given in the state
legislature to a recent bill which
would have limited out-state en-
rollment in Michigan universities,
emphasizing that many such stu--
dents in the past have contribut-
ed significantly to the financial
well being and international pres-
tige _which the University's law
school enjoys,
"Only a willing, informed group
of citizens can help meet the need
of opposing attempts to force the
University to withdraw to provin-
cial status," he warned.
Obligation To Scholars
He added that it must be made
clear that the school's- obligation
to its scholars can only be met
by maintenance of this kind of
institution.
Prof. Smith also said strength-
ened and increased relations with
state and national bar associa-

Consider
Revisions
A proposal to change Panhell-
enic election procedures will be
Although the delegates accept-
this week and voted upon by the
delegates Thursday at their reg-
ular meeting.
The new plan gives the vote to
five representatives from each
house: The president of the house;
the panhel delegate (both r of
whom are on the board of dele-
gates); and one representative
from the sophomore, junior and
senior class in the house.
discussed in all sorority houses
ed this system at last week's
meeting, they are permitting their
houses to vote on whether the five
representatives should vote as a
group or as individuals.
Under the present system, after
the executive council has selected
two qualified persons for each
post from those who have peti-
tioned, the candidates speak be-
fore the board of delegates. Then
the delegates discuss their im-
pressions of the nominees in their
respective houses and take a
house vote. The delegates then
cast their house votes for the ac-
tual election.
"The general feeling was that
taking a house vote was repeti-
tious because the house usually
voted on the recommendations of
the delegate," said Panhellenic
President Barbara Greenberg, '61.

The Regents approved numer-
ous appointments to the various
schools and colleges of the Uni-
versity at their meeting yester-
day.
Prof. F. Clever Bald, director
of the University's Michigan His-
torical Collections, was appointed
professor of history in the literary
college.
Prof. Charles S. Chetham, who
has been curator of the Museum
of Art at Agunquit, Me., was ap-
pointed assistant professor of the
history of art and assistant direc-
tor of the Museum of Art for a
three year period beginning next
fall. Prof. Chetham is now teach-
ing at Harvard University.
Public Health Names Two
Dean Myron E. Wegman, of the
public health school, was appoint-
ed professor of public health.
Sarah E. Gill was made as-
sistant professor of public health
nursing.
Prof. Lewis Gold was appointed
visiting professor of nuclear engi-
neering for the current academic
year in the engineering college.
He will also be employed at Re-
search Institute's Radiation Lab-
oratory.
Prof. Richard F. Schwartz was
named assistant visiting professor
of electrical engineering for the
first semester.
Pauline Mont Sherman was ap-
pointed assistant professor of
aeronautical and - astronautical
engineering, half-time, for the

time to the Institute of Science

The Regents also confirmed 18
other interim appointments as an-
nounced by Vice-President and

ALLAN F. SMITH
...emphasizes progress
tions would both benefit the
school and make the talents of
the students and faculty more
useful to them. The law school
has an obligation to serve as a
leader in the world and occasion-
ally as advisor to other law
schools, he said.
Self-Examination Needed
Prof. Smith promised the school
will continue its primary job, that
of producing lawyers who can play
a major role in society. "This re-
quires rigorous self-examination
and high standards,"he said.
"I do not subscribe to the
philosophy that the law school
cannot progress. Each year new
problems in the University and
the world require the attention
of legal educators and modifica-
tion of existing programs and
pilans. One of the primary ob-
jectives of all education is to look
far into the future, in order to
meet coming needs."

At the Michigan-Oregon State
football game at 1:30 this after-
noon, football fans will have the
opportunity to view and partici-
pate in the activities of the Uni-
versity's traditional Block IM" for
the first time this year.
Block "M" is a large cheering
section composed of 1305 students.
They will occupy reserved seats
on the twenty-yard line, directly
facing the section of the stadium
assigned to alumni.
Spell Out "M"
This year the rooters will wear
colorful capes, spelling out a huge
yellow "M" on a field ofrblue.
Block "M" is sponsored by the
Wolverine Club, a campus organ-
ization whose purpose is "to in-
crease school spirit." Last spring
Lois Green, '62, and Stanley Rod-
bell, '62, were appointed co-
chairmen of the block to direct
its activities this fall.
To Perform 5 Stunts
Irwin Dinn, '61, president of the
Wolverine Club said spectators at
Michigan Stadium today will be
treated to five stunts by the Block
"M" section during the half-time.
The include the Michigan Spell-
er, "Hi Oregon" and the Oregon
Duck, Hourglass, Top Hat and
Tie, and Rythmn Drum for Per-
cussion.
Each of these giant-sized im-
ages will be formed by over a
thousand separate cards that the
participants in Block "M" will
flash on a given signal.
Should Wear White
All students taking part in
Block "M" this afternoon have
been requested by the co-chairmen
to wear white shirts or blouses.
