Instead we will adopt general res- olutions in the major areas of the constitution." Copies of the resolutions will be sent to all con-con members be- fore the convention convenes Oct. 3, Stockmeyer said. Of special concern to college students and administrators will be the resolutions on the educa- tion issues, Stockmeyer comment- ed. A proposal for a state board of educators to replace regents and trustees may be suggested. Proposals dealing with the exec- utive department are expected to include suggestions to make ap- pointive those subordinate admin- istrative officials (Cabinet mem- bers) who are not already select- ed by the governor. A resolution to extend the term of the governor to four years also may be pre- sented. The controversy between the es- tablishment of a unicameral as opposed to the traditional bicam- eral legislature will be discussed. Resolutions on the graduated in- come tax and the "earmarking of funds" are expected, Stockmeyer said. The organization of the con- vention itself will also be reviewed. The conference on con-con is part of the annual 'study session put on by the 25 Michigan Federa- tion of Young Republican Club members. Honors Professor3 To Talk on Politics Prof. Harold Stein, visiting hon- ors professor of public and inter- national affairs from Princeton University, will speak at 7:30 p.m. today in Rm. 3S, Michigan Union, on the national political situation. Making his first public appear- ance before a University group, Prof. Stein will address the Young Democratic Club meeting. BITE-SIZE BITER-University doctors have developed this small instrument to take samples of living intestinal tissue. 'U' Doctors Develop Unit To Take Intestine Sample NEW "TWIST" for Homecoming COCKTAIL HOUR 5 to 7 P.M. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 VFW Hall Admission -25c Sponsored by GRADUATE STUDENT COUNCIL CHALLE NGE University doctors have develop- ed a new bite-size apparatus that will remove tiny samples of liv- ing samples from a patient's small intestine without surgery. The apparatus will be used for exploratory operations in suspect- ed stomach cancer and other dis- orders of the digestive system. Called a "hydraulic biopsy ap- paratus," the .instrument is a stainless steel capsule, which the patient swallows, attached to a length of soft plastic tubing. The capsule contains a razor sharp cylinder that' is activated by hydraulic pressure transmitted down the plastic tube. On each motion it crosses a small open- ing in the capsule and slices off a a microscopic layer of the lining of the intestine. The sample is then washed up through the plastic tube for ex- amination by the physician. Sev- eral tissue samples may be taken before the capsule is removed. Associate Professors of internal medicine at the University Doc- tors Robert J. Bolt and Arthur B. French began developing the ap- paratus two years ago. Herbert Senecal and Edward Rupke of the University's Office of Research Administration assisted in its pro- duction. About a dozen hand-crafted models of the capsule, ranging in size from one and one-half inches to three-quarters of an inch, have been made. Asian Colloquim Sets India Slides The first meeting of the South ern Asia Studies Colloquium will be held at 8 p.m. today in the East Conference Rm., Rackham Bldg. The meeting will be de- voted to showing slides on India and refreshments will be served. Center Announces Sign-Up Deadline The deadline for registering in the Conflict Resolution's Center's seminar on the "Design of Peace Research" has been extended un- til Friday, Mrs. Kenneth Bould- ing of the center, announced yes- terday. The apparatus can also be used to observe the effects of drugs! and other substances on the lin- ing of the stomach and small in- testine. Colleges Read To Add 5,000 New Freshmen A survey of 200 four-year Col- leges has shown that 150 of themj are prepared to increase their freshman class next fall, the Stu- dent Admissions Center reported. These 200 institutions alone will admit 5,000 to 6,000 more fresh- men than they were able to ac- commodate this fall. Based on this sample, the re- port estimates that the total num- ber of freshman places in the country will increase eight to elev- en per cent. This year enrollment increase is estimated at seven per cent. The survey also reported that of 40 state universities that answered a questionnaire, 30 had no re- stricted quotas for out-of-state students. The report also found that the academic requirements forhcollege admission continue to tighten. Al- most 90 per cent of the sample institutions said they required the College Board achievement tests, scholastic aptitude tests, the Amer- ican College Testing Program's examinations or some combina- tion. DANCING Sat. Night 9 to 1 LIVE MUSIC 75c admission Pittsfield Union Grange Ann Arbor-Saline Road By MARTHA MACNEAL "The Frederick Stearns Collec- tion of musical instruments is one of the most outstanding collec- tions in this country," Prof. Robert Warner of the music school and curator of the collection said. Housed on the second floor of. Hill Aud., the collection features woodwinds, such as flutes, clar- inets, and oboes in nearly all stages of their historical development. The collection of brass instru- ments, horns, trumpets, and trom- bones is nearly as complete as the woodwinds. Stringed instruments are less numerous, and fewer of their ancestors have been pre- served, probably because of their fragility, Prof. Warner explained. Few Keyboard Examples Though the collection does not include many keyboard instru- ments, a few rare examples are on exhibit, including a 17th cen- tury virginal which can still be played. Of special interest are many ex- cellent oriental instruments, many of which are now extremely rare in the countriesiofstheir origin. Some African instruments are also included. The collection was donated to the University by Frederick Stearns, a drug manufacturer, in 1899. Stearns lived for several years afterward and continued to contribute to the collection, which was moved to Hill Aud. in 1914, when the auditorium was first opened. Collected by'Stearns Stearns himself collected the main body of the exhibit during the latter 18 years of the nine- teenth century from all over the world. The collection now includes about 1500 items. The collection is maintained under a small budget of the music school, Prof. Warner said. Al- though funds are too limited to allow the purchase of additional exhibits, new items are donated privately "almost every year." About five years ago, long- needed improvements were made in the collection, including full- time, operational assistants on duty, general revision of the ex- hibits -and painting of the cab- inets. DIAL NO 2-6264 PLEASE NOTE 3 Shows Daily at 1:00 - 4:30 - 8:10 *A TERRIFIC SHO0W ...AN AMAZING ACHIEVEMENTI' OO PREMINGER PRESENTS The University Choir is now holding auditions for both tenors and basses, Prof. Maynard Klein of the music school, director of the University Choirs, said yester- day. This 300-voice group has been in existence for 12 years. At pres- ent they are preparing for their annual Christmas program and planning another concert for the spring semester. Instruments belonging to the collection are sometimes used in concerts of early music given by the concert organization, but such instruments are usually modern replicas of the old instruments, since the authentic items are not often in playing condition. Prof. Warner explained that "there are a good many reasons for not using the authentic mod- els, especially for practice. They are old and valuable, and often the wood has warped or dried out. They should be kept in an air- conditioned place." Because of a lack of funds,. the Stearns collection is not open as often as would be desirable, Prof. Warner said. It may be seen from 3-4 p.m. Tuesdays and Fridays, and it is always open during any event in Hill Auditorium, so that the public may browse before and after concerts and during inter- missions.

N. University & Forest I I _ . Having made a striking comeback *in an untypical dra- matic role in Anna Christie, Marie Dressler turned with re- lief to the field of comedy in which she had always excelled. In the aging Wallace Beery she found a perfect foil - the charming scoundrel, whose shiftlessness would set off her own familiarity with mop and pail. Min and Bill was the first of a series of comedies in which these .seasoned actors made a special appeal to the American public with its fondness for. lower-class images, worldly-wise and a little soiled, ready to love or fight at the drop of a beer bottle. Arne Sucksdorff's The Great Adventure is the greatest na- ture film ever made; there were no dissenting voices when it first appeared in America six years ago. It is the product of the most painstaking, on the part of its creator, who spent three years filming it, shot 250,000 feet which were finally assembled into a film lasting little more than an hour, and spent, to mention one instance of his desire for fidelity, 72 April nights spread over three successive years to catch the wood grouse in their proper light. This is not a candied Dis- ney product, in which beauti- ful camera work is sullied by a wisecracking commentary and a too prominent, inapposite mu- sical score. Sucksdorff does not condescend to nature. His film of a year on an isolated Swe- dish farm is not merely accu- rate and photographically beau- nature; and The Great Adven- ture is the apogee of this un- derstanding. Some American critics felt that it was too un- sparing to be shown to chil- dren, so over-protecting par- ents might be warned about this aspect; though we hold with Auden, "Give each child that's in our care/as much neurosis as the child can bear." What is at least a matter of topical interest, since Sucks- dormf could not manage the costs of production, his ex- penses were underwritten per- sonally by that cultivated and dedicated person, Dag Ham- marskjold. After the great flowering of Soviet film art in the 1920's, when individual talent found more encouragement under a paternalistic system than in the Hollywood commercial jun- gle, the next decade, like those succeeding, was comparatively bleak. Eisenstein was able to complete one sound film, Alex- ander Nevsky, since nationalis- tic messages are always hon- ored by political powers. Few films of distinction could 'make their appearance in the atmos- phere poisoned by 'the Moscow Trials and their aftermath; but one impressive series emerged, the Gorky trilogy, directed by Mark Donskoi. Based on the lengthy autobiography of the eminent Soviet man of letters, the three films called up a, picture of Czarist Russia that made legitimate human impli- cations, were superbly acted, and were the true revolutionary descendants of the earlier pro- ducts of Eisenstein, Pudovkin, FRIDAY * BARDOT 0 "THE TRUTH" Dial NO 5-6290 PETER H ILFR Ending Tonight Ul SELLERS * HYE WHITE.
