the attachment of supplies for
groes in Haywood and Fayette
tnties, Tenn., will not immedi-
ly affect the local Tennessee
mpaign, Chairman Carol Cohen,
, said yesterday.
['he campaign will continue col-
ting food and clothing because
attachment notices do not af-
t Haywood county, she said. The
ites were placed on supplies
d by John McFerren in a le-
quarrel between leaders of a
ro, civil rights group.

groes, and makes it an internal po-
litical issue. It is unfortunate that
this should happen when harmony
and cooperation are imperative if
anything is to be accomplished,"
Miss Cohen said.
McFerren is chairman of the
Fayette County Civic and Welfare
League which organized a drive to
register Negro voters. It claims
that Negroes'/ are suffering eco-
nomic reprisal because of the reg-
istration campaign.
One of the major points of the
split concerns the distribution,
David Giltrow, '61Ed, said. "Mc-
Ferren believes that aid should
go only to registered Negroes,
while Franklin feels that distri-
bution shouldn't be limited," he
said.
"We delivered to Haywood be-
cause we didn't want to interfere
with the local politics in Fayette
County. Also, we knew that Fay-
ette already had a stockpile.
,-"We will cooperate with the
Memphis NAACP, thecoordinating
group for distribution of supplies
from other communities," Giltrow
added, speaking as chairmah of
Voice political party, which spon-
sors the Tennessee Campaign.
The do-it-yourself cult, mani-
fest in mosaic ashtrays and num-
ber paintings, has the same spirit
in which Prof. Richard P. Jen-
nings of the architecture college
has been experimenting with
fountains.
He has been experimenting with
high cones, low cones, and pud-
dings, various mushroom-shaped
water sprays, for the past two
years.
In the high cone, the water
reaches a greater height than, the
diameter of the unit. The low
cone is wider than it is high, and
the pudding is a giant bubble of
water.
Debut at Fair
Six of Prof. Jennings' low cones
will make their debut at the In-
ternational Agricultural and Pro-
duct Fair in Cairo, Egypt, begin-
ning March 15. They will be used
in a pool outside of the United
States pavilion.
"In the past fountains were very'
complicated," explained Prof. Jen-
nings. Consequently, he noted, pro-
jects such as the one outside of
the Michigan League "are for-
ever doing the same thing." His
aim Is to have -a fountain that can
be continually modified to provide
a relief and contrast to the in-
trusiveness and static quality of
the building.
Prof. Jennings' invention for
this purpose consists of a small
submersible motor to which a pro-
peller has' been attached. This
electrical unit "is essentially a
portable fountain," he said.
Show Seashore Energy
In his fountains Prof. Jennings
is "seeking an event to obtain
more of the dynamics of the sea-
shore" that are derived from a
spray of water.
"A spray is expressing speed,"
he explained. "I am trying to get
water into the air in a solid sheet
which would denote, instead, en-
ergy."
Prof. Jennings sees great pos-
sibilities for the use of his foun-
tains at state and world fairs as
well as for smaller ones in private
homes. These latter units would be
"exceedingly inexpensive," he said,
"but I would emphasize that the
big ones are not.
First Interest
Prof. Jennings first became in-
terested in fountains when the
University asked for his help. A
kidney-shaped lake had been de-
signed for the Dearborn campus
before any thought was given to
placing a conventional fountain in
it.
The three units installed at
Deaborn are much cruder than his
recent developments, Prof. Jen-
nings explained, but they gave
him a chance to test the function
of the motor and the propeller in
relationship to the laws of physics.
He plans to rebuild his first
attempts for the University this
spring.
Most of his work on campus has
been done in the naval tank of the
West Engineering Bldg. After hav-
ing designed a small scale foun-
tain he applied for a Rackham
Grant to continue his experimen-
tation.
. One of the early attempts, which
he dubbed "The African Queen,"
can still be seen outside of the
Architecture Bldg.
FOUNTAIN DESIGNER-Prof. Richard Jennings of the art de-
partment sits at the side of a tank in which a simple experimental
fountain splashes and sprays. Prof. Jennings is the creator of a
fountain type which will make its debut at an Egyptian interna-
tional fair in March. Six of his "low cones" will be outside the
United States pavilion.
