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. -Daily-Ed Langs WOODPECKERS' DELIGHT-The old flagpole, badly damaged by woodpeckers, is being replaced by a new structure. The new pole will be in place within the next few days. PIPELINE THREAT: Wilhelm Examines Future Of Coal Carrying Railroads 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. Club President Thomas Pyper, '64, accepted the reward on behalf 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. The Gilbert and Sullivan Socie- ty has elected new officers and is seeking music and dramtics direc- 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 "Pirates of Penzance." This year the two productions were "H.M.S. Pinafore," and "Patience."

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. , SCHOLARSHIPS: SALARY: SEE BRITAIN: Those students who qualify may continue their association next semester on a part time basis.

(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."

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? \, GREAT ON LOOKS AND WALKING PLEASURE Move ,, in the most comfortable fashion.
