Sturm of Florida State University notes in "Constitution-Making in Michigan 1961-62," recently published by the Institute for Public Adminis- tration. He points out that the resulting document retains such "traditional practices" as the bi-cameral legis- lature, the 15-mill property tax limitation, the four-cent ceiling on the state sales tax and initia- tiye and referendum. Prof. Sturm also cites the re- tention of the traditional forms of local government, constitution- al status for state colleges and universities, civil service and pro- tection of personal and property rights. Several Innovations However, he notes several in- novations in the document, in- cluding the consolidation of some 120 state agencies into a maximum of 20 departments, the extention of the terms of major elective of- ficers to four years, the abolition of justice of the peace courts and the liberalization of debt limita- tions. "It is not a model," Prof. Sturm says, "nor does it go as far as a whole, in accepting the more advanced proposals for stream- lining the machinery of govern- ment and adopting it to the needs of the 1960's and future decades as some other new state constitu- tions." Writing a "model" constitution or an "ideal document" is of little lasting value, he asserts. The con- stitution-making process should be a "very practical process that is necessarily molded by tradition and political forces and experi- ence." "Reflects Environment" Prof. Sturm notes that the document "reflects the political The major concern of the Demo- crats was reapportionment of leg- islative districts and "developments on this matter greatly affected their stands on other issues," he says. Three Groups Prof. Sturm divides the Re- publicans into three groups-con- servatives, moderates and liberals. The conservative faction consisted of strong outstate, rural repre- sentation and lawyers and leaders of the Farm Bureau. "This group," he comments, "fared remarkably well, being able to retain many of the constitution's traditional values." The largest Republican group was the moderates, prominently led by Gov. George Romney, then a convention vice-president. The liberals sought a model document and "ideal solutions to state prob- lems." Prof. Sturm lists Prof. James K. Pollack of the political science department as a member of that wing. Reviewing Michigan's constitu- tion history, Prof. Sturm finds that the state "has been more active than most states in con- stitution making." The first docu- ment was drawn up in 1835 and five others have been submitted to the voters. Prof. Sturm points out the basic political and economic issues that eventually led to constitutional reform. In 1910 "more than half of the population lived in rural areas; by 1960, almost three- fourths of it was urban, with 53 per cent of the people living in four southeastern Michigan coun- ties. Also, Sturm noted that "by 1959 the state was faced with a finan- cial crisis of the first prder." The inability of the Republican Legis- lature and Democratic Gov. G. Mennen Williams to agree on a tax program was the immediate reason for the crisis, he writes. See Tropic Star only at these Authorized Artearved Jewelers CON-CON-President Dwight D.

Battle Creek Caro environment in which it was wyit- ten" as well as the current think- ing of experts in state' government and administration. The new constitution, like the federal Constitution, is the result of compromises, he points out. The compromises are not only between the Republicans and Democrats, but within the party delegations themselves. Surveying the 99 Republican, 45 Democrat delegate convention, Prof. Sturm finds that lawyers were the largest occupational group represented. Fifty-seven delegates were lawyers. Male, White, Protestant The make-up of the convention was predominately male, white and, Protestant. Most delegates were from the middle and uppermiddle income brackets with 68 in the $7500 to $15000 income range. There were 11 women delegates, 13 Negroes and 35 non-Protestants out of the total 144 delegates. Seventy-one delegates were col- lege graduates while 24 had never gone to college,. Viewing the convention's fac- tional make-up, Prof. Sturm finds that the two-to-one Republican majority "affords an incomplete view of the role played by various factions, blocs and groups in mold- ing the new document." "The Democrats were a much more homogeneous group than the Republicans, with all but four coming from the Detroit metro- politan area where the labor in- fluence was dominant," Dearborn Jewelers Dearborn Crown Credit JewelersDetroit Sallan Inc.

WASHINGTON - The Cuban crisis last fall "increased the lev- el of command and control of military operations from Wash- ington," Vice Adm. Alfred G. Ward said yesterday. He said coordinat- ing national efforts is a job for the whole government. The com- mander of the Atlantic Second Fleet declared "The necessity for coordinating the whole resources of a nation toward a specific ob- jective has become too vast to be handled effectively by one class of leaders. It has become the re- sponsibility of the whole people and the government. As French Premier Georges Clemenceau put it in the First World War, 'war is much too serious a matter to be entrusted to generals'." , * * HOT SPRINGS, Va.-Sen. Hen- ry M.

FOR ONLY $300 A DAY: NO. 2 Last week we discussed England, the first stop on the tour of Europe that every American college student is going to make this summer. Today we will take up your next stop--Frane, or the Pearl of the Pacific, as it is generally called. To get from England to France, one greases one's body and swims the English Channel. Similarly, to get from France to Spain, one greases one's body and slides down the Pyrenees. And, of course, to get from France to Switzerland, one greases one's body and wriggles through the Simplon Tunnel. Thus, as you can see, the most important single item to take to Europe is a valise full of grease. No, I am wrong. The most important thing to take to Europe is a valise full of Marlboro Cigarettes-or at least as many as DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN' r rtc arved Diamond and Wedding Rings Jean's Jewelry Store Earl Cobb, Jewelers s, GltSte.Marie Traverse City (Continued from Page 2) Sprucewood Lodge, Maine - Position open for a recreation director of resort.

That familiar red and white Marlboro package is as omnipresent in Europe as it is in all fifty of the United States. And it is the same superb cigarette you find at home-the same pure white filter, the same zestful, mellow blend of tobaccos preceding the filter. This gem of the tobacconist's art, this prodigy of cigarette engineering, was achieved by Marlboro's well-known research team-Fred Softpack and Walter Fliptop-and I, for one, am grateful. ButI digress. We were speaking of France-or the Serpent of the Nile, as it is popularly termed. Let us first briefly sum up the history of France. The nation was discovered in 1066 by Madame Guillotine. There followed a series of costly wars with Schleswig-Holstein, the Cleveland Indians, and Jean Jacques Rousseau. Stability finally came to this troubled land with the coronation of Marshal Foch, who married&Lorraine Alsace and had three children: Flopsy, Mopsy, and Charlemagne: This later became known as the Petit Trianon. Marshal Foch-or the Boy Orator of the Platte, as he was affectionately called-was succeeded by Napoleon, who intro- duced shortness to France. Until Napoleon the French were the tallest nation in Europe. After Napoleon most Frenchmen were able to walk comfortably under card tables. This later became known as the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Napoleon, after his defeat by Credit Mobilier, was exiled to Elba, where he made the famous statement, "Able was I ere I saw Elba." This sentence reads the same whether you spell it forward or backward. You can also spell Marlboro backward- Oroblram. Do not, however, try to smoke Marlboro backward" because that undoes all the pleasure of the finest cigarette made. After Napoleon's death the French people fell into a great fit of melancholy, known as the Louisiana Purchase. For over a century everyone sat around moping and refusing his food. This torpor was not lifted until Eiffel built his famous tower, which made everybody giggle so hard that today France is the avest dcou1nt in-Euronp CAMPUS CHAPEL Donald Postema, Minister Washtenow at Forest Sponsored by the Christian Reformed Churches of Michigan 10:00 A.M.
