New Flagpole
I don't think this process works
ery well. The question, "What
hall I do with my life," is the sin-
le most important one a student
aces, but it is seldom given the'
bought 'it deserves. Sometimes
here is no conscious choosing at
11, merely a following of the path
ne happens to stumble on. Some-
imes a student winds up not
nowing quite what to do.
Examining life is too important
n endeavor, and too difficult, to
e left to occur on its own. It,
hould be built into the currict-
um. I am not talking about a re-
tuired course in vocational coun-
eling, but a course in which the
udent would be forced to exam-
ne and justify his whole style of
ife, present and future.
Ina course on Planning for Life,
he student would outline in de-
,ail what he expects to do with
is life, and he would show the
rocess by which he arrived at his
onclusions-taking full account,
f the prejudices and pressures
hat influence him, and giving ap-
'ropriate attention to the social
fiches that need filling.
This self-examination ordinar-
ly occurs only when a student fills
ut an application for graduate
chool, or defends himself in a
ull session. But it is the single
nost important habit the Univer-
ity can promote.
I think the University of Michi-
an is a great institution. My four
ears here have been the most
mportant and most rewarding of
ny life. But I think that univer-
ities are not making a maximum
ontribution to humanity, at a
ime when humanity is faced with
xinction. A great deal more must
e done. A necessary first step is
he building of enlightened self-
wareness - among s t u d e n t s,
mong institutions, among socie-
les. Perhaps this much, at least,
an begin now.

Novel Tells
Of Science,
'God's Glory'
"Sir Thomas Browne," a new
novel by Prof. Frank L. Huntley
of the English department, relates
the history of the English artist
and mystic who believed that the
end of science is the glory of God.
Browne conceived of every man
as a microcosm who "carries the
whole world about him." He warn-
ed against man's use of reason
since "we do too narrowly define
the power of God, restraining it to
our own capacities."
He conceived of his head as a
treasure of knowledge and looked
forward to a community of learn-
ing so that all could share in the
knowledge of the world.
Spiritualist
Browne was a spiritualist who
accepted an omnipotent Creator
and divine relationship between all
men of all time. But he also view-
ed the human body as a physi-
cian.
Browne's passions were for as-
trology and Christianity. He also
wrote a book titled "Religio Medi-
ci."
Huntley's book not only charac-{
terizes the man, but gives docu-
mented background of Browne's
seventeenth century society.
Concert of Flesh
Browne saw the flesh as an ele-
mental composition of a fabric
which must fall to ashes. Flesh
was seen as grass and therefore all
creatures were but "hearbs of the
field."
"We are what we all abhorre,
Anthropophagi and Cannibals, de-
vourers not only of men, but of
ourselves; and that not in an al-
legory but a positive truth; for all
this mass of flesh that wee behold,
came in at our mouths; this frame
we looke upon, hath been upon
our trenchers," Browne says.
U' YR Wins
State Award
A trophy for being the outstand-
ing college Young Republican club
in the state for 1962 went to the
University's YR club last weekend.

of the club at the bi-annual con-
vention of the Michigan Federa-
tion of Young Republicans in De-
troit Saturday.
Club treasurer, Douglas Brook,
'65, was elected secretary of the
federation at the convention.

tors for next year.
Elected were Jay Cranston, '64,
president; Richard Hazzard, '63M,
vice-president: Steven Blanding,
'63BAd, treasurer; and Rebecca
Staton, '64, secretary.
Next year's performance will be

Coal-carrying railroads are in-
dicating that they can be creative
in a competitive atmosphere, Ross
J. Wilhlem of the business admin-
istration school said recently.,
Efforts to produce this new
"spark of life" can be increased
by lifting "the dead hand of gov-
ernment regulation from the rails
as quickly as possible," he added.
Railroads carrying coal are
threatened by pipelines. Recently,
efforts have been made to carry
coal through such lines from the
coal fields to New York City.
urvival Program Group
Isues Complete Statement
Even before this, however, coal
has been carried in pipelines from
one city to another in Ohio. In or-
der to send coal in this manner,
it must be watered down and then
dried after it reaches its destina-
tion.
Whereas the old coal-water mix-
ture was 50-50, "recent research
indicates that if a mixture of 70
per cent coal and 30 per cent wa-
ter is used the coal could be fed
directly into a cyclone furnace
without first being dried," Wilhelm
added.
With this new innovation, coal
pipelinie transportation could be
cut about 15 per cent below rail
costs. "If the railroads do not
meet and beat these potential sav-
ings they will be out of the busi-
ness of carrying coal-and for
some roads this would mean bank-
ruptcy," he added.
Wilhelm noted, however, that
the railroads' answer to the threat
is the so-called "integral trains."
Part of the problem with con-
ventional rail cars hauling coal is
that they are under-utilized. These
cars move only about 42 miles daily
and therefore make only about 20
trips a year from coal field to
market. ,

(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following
is the complete text of a statement
regarding a survival program spear-
headed by a group headed by Mrs,
Angus Campbell which was reported
in The Datly on Sunday.)
Conflicting public statements re-
garding the problems of survival
in the event of a'nuclear war and
the- natural public reluctance to
face the admitted horror of such
a war have led to much confusion
and anxiety.
We have undertaken to think
through these problems and to
formulate a reasonable basis for
a program for survival. Such a
program need not and should not
impede the attempt to achieve
general disarmameiit, an effort
which ought to have the highest
national priority.
It is against the background of
this primary commitment that a
survival program should be con-
sidered. In an effort to put the
discussion in a rational context we
associate ourselves with the fol-
lowing statements:
1) Planning for a survival pro-
gram should be based on a realis-
tic estimate of the gravity and im-
minence of the threat insured
against.
2) No survival program will pro-
tect everyone but it is possible to
increase appreciably the propor-
tion of the population that will live
through a nuclear attack.
\3) The protection of human life
is' our paramount value; no one
has the right to decide for some-
one else that life after a nuclear
attack would not be worth living.
4) The argument thatall sur-
vival programs, whatever their
character, tend to increase (or de-
crease) the likelihood of a nuclear
war has little supporting evidence
and is not convincing.
5) The threat of a nuclear at-
tack is certainly grave and, al-
though remote, is sufficient to
justify planning a survival pro-
gram now. A carefully-phased
shelter program should be devel-
oped as a part of a general plan'
for survival, including provision,
for social reconstruction after a
nuclear attack.
6) If events in the future in-
crease or decrease the gravity and
imminence of the nuclear threat,
the survival program should be
adjusted accordingly.
7) The protection of our society
is a common responsibility. A sur-
vival program for the nation
should be developed on a social
rather than an individual basis.
8) The costs of a survival pro-
gram should be considered a part
of the total budget for defense.
Support for such a program should
not result in the sacrifice of other
important federal programs.
9) Public officials have a basic
obligation, within the limits of na-
tional security, to inform the pub-
lic regarding the realities of nu-
clear attack and defense. We be-
lieve this obligation has not been
fully met.
10) We support the planning of
a survival program not in the be-
lief that this will make victory
in a nuclear war more likely, but
in recognition of the fact that nu-
clear war is possible and with the
conviction that it is our moral ob-
ligation to protect our society.
To Vacation
At Alum Camp
University graduates and their
families will vacation this summer
at two University Alumni Associa-
tion Family Camps.
The camps are near Boyne City
in the Charlevoix-Petoskey area.
Camp Charlevoix on Lake Michi-
gan will be in session for two one-
week periods, Aug. 19 to 26 and
Aug. 27 to Sept. 3. Camp Hunting-
ton-Sherwood on Walloon Lake
will be in use Aug. 24 to Sept. 3.
The Family Camps include sem-
inars and discussions on current
topics led by faculty members, and
planned recreation.
Alumni Association officers re-
port that the camps are based on
the principle of "education as well
as recreation."

It takes a little bit of thinking to understand just
what the impact would be on the total population
of the United States if Congress were to adopt the
King-Anderson bill, commonly called "medical aid
to the aged."
First, it's a false title with heavy emotional
appeal.
It really isn't a plan to give "medical aid to the
aged."
Doctors oppose t because they are dedicated to
the health of others.
They have worked toward increasing your life
span so that you may enjoy living longer.
They are doing this by helping solve the problems
of financing health care, in providing additional care
to the aged and in developing rehabilitation programs
and mental health programs. But that is not all.
They not only concern themselves with the health
problems of the aged, they also concern themselves
everyday with the health of the middle-aged, young
people and infants.
Now, about the King-Anderson bill.
Fees of doctors are not involved, though the
politicians and bureaucrats would have you believe
this.
What is involved is the practice of quality medi-
cine.
What is involved is your health.
What is involved is your pocketbook.
The King-Anderson plan would not only reduce
the quality, but would also reduce the availability of
hospital services and intervene between a doctor and'
his patient by destroying the American system of
medicine based upon the private doctor treating the
.rvn a nt-r
to pay their own medical bills.
help would not qualify.
Millions who need
Doctors are not politicians. They're not looking
for votes. They're too busy looking after the health
of their patients.
They can't buy the politician's approach
sacrificing your health just to get votes.
of
They can't buy legislation which would raise
Social Security taxes by 17%, to start with, to finance
a multi-billion-dollar program which would only pay
PART of the hospital bills of the elderly and provide
SOME nursing home care.
The fact is, under the King-Anderson plan, an
elderly person with limited funds would have to
pay $10 a day for the first nine days of a hospital
stay, and also have to pay his doctor. A wealthy
elderly person would pay the same $90 amount-
and the taxpayers would pick up the rest of the
hospital bill for a protracted stay.
By contrast, the Kerr-Mills medical aid to the aged
law which provides for COMPLETE hospital and doctor
care without any personal cost for all who need help;
is available to Michigan's elderly persons with limited
funds.
It's total cost last year was $12;000,000. Not one
cent was paid out of taxpayer's money for those who
could pay their own way or for those of our senior
citizens who have private insurance coverage.
Think it over.
Should Congress be pressured to adopt a needless,
unfair, inadequate and extremely costly program ..
or should the Congress REJECT this King-Anderson
bill, with the Kerr-Mills Law already on the books and
sensibly providing TOTAL help to those who need
help?
